your bag. your fill.
Big Bob ships as a cover, so you decide how it feels. Firmer, softer, slouchier: it's your call, and you can use what you already have.
fill it with what you've got
- Stuffed toys soft, snuggly and a great way to rehome the pile
- Old pillows, blankets & towels a squishy, slouchy sit
- Clothes & linen clear the wardrobe and fill the bag for free
- Shredded foam plush and supportive, great indoors
- EPS beads the classic: light, bouncy and easy to move around
Using toys or clothes? Take out buttons, zips and hard parts first. Living outdoors? EPS beads are the best pick, because they don't hold water like fabric or foam can.
how much you need

two ways to fill your Big Bob
delivered to your door by Fill Co
- Matched to your bag. Pick the Big Bob option and you get the right amount for it.
- No store run, no ute. Beans arrive at your door.
- Stays plumper for longer. Fill Co says its beans flatten 50% less than generic beans in cyclic compression tests.
- Australian-made. Fire-retardant grade, lower odour, suitable for indoor, outdoor and pool use.
Ships separately, direct from Fill Co. Discount codes may not apply to Fill Co beans. See the Fill Co beans page
or pick some up locally
Filling is light but bulky, so freight often costs more than the beans. Big W and Spotlight sell it in store.
Not affiliated with Big W or Spotlight.
- 1Open the childproof zipper with a paper-clip or safety pin.
- 2Add your fill slowly. For beans, fill to about 3/4 full.
- 3Zip up, give it a shake and shape it to sit.

frequently asked
Does it come with filling?
No, and that's a feature. It ships as a cover, so you choose what goes inside and how firm it feels. It also keeps freight cheaper. Use what you've got, or we sell Fill Co EPS beans and premium shredded foam, and major retailers stock filling in store.
What can I fill my bean bag with?
Almost anything soft: old stuffed toys, pillows, blankets, clothes, shredded foam or EPS beads. Soft fills give a slouchier sit, beads and foam give more bounce and support. Take out buttons, zips and hard parts first. For outdoor bags, EPS beads are the best pick because they don't hold water like fabric or foam can.
Can I exchange it?
Yes, within 30 days of delivery. We offer exchanges only, not refunds, and the product must be unopened with the tamper-proof seal intact. This doesn't affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law, for example if a product is faulty. Filling is non-returnable.
How do I care for my bean bag?
Care depends on the cover fabric — see the Care tab above for your product. In general, remove the cover before cleaning, spot-clean spills, avoid bleach and tumble drying, and line dry in the shade.
Do I need to remove the beans to clean the cover?
Yes — in most cases you take the filling out first, then machine or spot-clean the cover following the care instructions.
