Frequently Asked Questions
Is this memory foam?
No. Our filling is made from 28D shredded polyurethane furniture foam, not viscoelastic memory foam. If you're weighing up memory foam, our memory foam bean bag guide explains the difference.
Is the foam recycled?
Our foam is sourced from furniture manufacturing offcuts, helping make use of material that might otherwise be discarded.
Can I use it in outdoor bean bags?
We recommend shredded foam for indoor use only. Keep the material dry and avoid prolonged moisture exposure.
Can I mix it with polystyrene beans?
Yes. Mixing foam and polystyrene beads can provide a balance of cushioning and structure.
Does the foam arrive fully expanded?
No. It is compressed for shipping and needs to be opened and fluffed before use.
