However, there is more to bean bags than the uniquely designed and colourful covers you see on the outside. You may not have put much thought into it, but bean bag filler comes in many varieties, and the quality of your particular product relies on having the best filling for your needs.

Are bean bags really filled with beans?

A bean bag (also beanbag) is a sealed bag containing dried beans, PVC pellets, expanded polystyrene, or expanded polypropylene. The bags are commonly used for throwing games, but have various other applications.

Do bean bags need to be refilled?

Unfortunately, bean bag filling is only designed to last so long (generally less than 5 years for the standard EPS beans) so fluffing your bean bag will not always work. If this is the case, it means your bean bag requires new refilling.
