your bag. your fill.
Mini Merlin ships as a cover with an inner liner, 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, and keep the liner zipped.

The Junior Version of Our Most Popular Bean Bag
Introducing the Mini Merlin kids indoor outdoor bean bag chair—perfectly sized for children aged 3 to 13. Inspired by our bestselling Merlin indoor outdoor bean bag chair, the Mini Merlin delivers the same premium comfort and weather-resistant durability in a junior-friendly size.
Whether it's story time in the playroom, lounging on the deck, or poolside relaxation, this versatile kids bean bag chair transitions seamlessly between indoor and outdoor spaces. Lightweight enough for kids to move themselves, yet sturdy enough to handle years of active play, the Mini Merlin is built to become your child's favorite seat in the house—and yard.
Double-reinforced stitching and commercial-grade construction ensure this junior bean bag chair withstands jumping, climbing, and everything in between while maintaining its structured, supportive shape.
Built for Adventure, Indoors and Out
The Mini Merlin features premium weather-resistant outdoor-grade fabric that stands up to sun, rain, pool splashes, and sticky fingers. UV-resistant, fade-resistant, and water-repellent, this kids outdoor bean bag chair holds its vibrant color and plush comfort season after season.
Parents love the easy-care design: simply wipe clean with a damp cloth or remove the cover for machine washing. Unlike traditional indoor-only bean bags, the Mini Merlin handles whatever your kids throw at it—muddy shoes, popsicle drips, sandbox adventures, and more.
Safety You Can Trust
Every Mini Merlin comes equipped with child-safe locking YKK zippers and a secure filling chute, ensuring little ones can't access the interior filling. The bean bag arrives unfilled for easy shipping—simply add premium polystyrene beans or shredded foam (available at major retailers), lock it up, and watch your child's face light up.
Perfectly Sized for Growing Kids
The Mini Merlin kids indoor outdoor bean bag chair strikes the perfect balance—roomy enough for comfortable lounging, yet sized just right for younger children. It's ideal for reading nooks, gaming corners, backyard movie nights, or poolside relaxation. Fitting out a classroom? See our bean bags for schools and childcare.
Available in a vibrant range of colors that complement any space, from playful brights to sophisticated neutrals. Mix and match with our full-size Merlin Chair to create a coordinated family lounge area that works for all ages.

frequently asked
Does it come with filling?
No, and that's a feature. It ships as a cover with an inner liner, so you choose what goes inside and how firm it feels. It also keeps freight cheaper. Use what you've got, or we sell EPS beads and shredded foam in 100L and 200L, and Big W and Spotlight 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, and keep the liner zipped. 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.
