20 Best Fill For Bean Bags (2023 Updated)

This is a review of the bean bag filling. They’re very squishy and are cylinder shaped – see picture. They come in a nice zipper bag that you can either just place inside a bean bag or open up to refill.

In my opinion this bean bag refill is definitely on the higher end compared to what we previously had in our bean bags which was more like stiff Styrofoam-pellets. The soft squishy level would be somewhere in the middle between very stiff and very soft.

If you consider those carnival large stuffed animals you win to be very stiff and then cotton filled to be very soft these would be right in between. This seems almost perfect for a bean bag where you want some support but not a stiff support.

You get a pretty good amount – enough to fill a smaller bean bag. Overall these seem a good size and quality for bean bags refill or even that stiff carnival stuffed animal.

I received these bean bag refills and immediately put them to use filling a chair we’ve had for over 2 years that had lost its shape and stiffness. The brand of bean bag chair is different from the Posh Creations refill so the actual beads were larger than the original, but they mixed in just fine.

Definitely recommend. As far as the durability, we’ll see how long it takes before these beads get squished and go flat. My guess is it will be a little quicker than the very small original beads simply because they’re larger and easier to squish between my fingers.

What I really like it the resealable bag! We knew we didn’t need to use and entire refill, so having the zipper to reclose the mesh bag was perfect. The tapered opening was also very helpful for pouring the beads.

We ended up using about 1/4 of the beads to fill and reshape our bean chair.

I recently purchased a “big” brand of refill beans for my daughters’ chairs. Let me say it was a huge hot mess. This I won’t lie was still tricky but I think having the failed experience with the other refill bag I was better capable this time to not dump the beans EVERYWHERE.

But let me tell you the ONE reason and ONLY reason you need to know why to buy this refill bag. the bag it comes in ZIPS SHUT! My other refill bag was plastic and once opened, well good luck keeping the tiny beans in.

This bag zips shut and the beans are a little bigger so they are so much easier to pick up when of course they stick to all the things and don’t stay in the refill bag or make it into the chair. I would buy this refill bag again for sure.

Bean refill was definitely needed for my two Milano chairs after six months of use. Refills came quickly and did a good job, but the price seems pretty high for what you get. Also, careful when ordering because the website automatically defaults to the two-pack of this product.

At least it did for me. I have two chairs and used one and a half bags.

Great quality. Packaging is excellent. Highly recommended.

it was full of huge chunks and alot was hard pieces..had to throw alot..

It was for my 17 year old granddaughter and she totally loves her foam bean bag

We love our Yogibo Max bean bags. We bought our first one to see if it would help my husband with the shoulder pain he had while sleeping. It did! We bought our second one to see if I would be able to sleep on one (bc we plan to spend a year camping and thought these would be better than standard camper mattresses).

While initially skeptical, I am a 100% convert. Both in our 50s, with spine, shoulder, and knee issues, we sleep on our Yogibo every night. We use them as chairs for computer work during the day. And the most surprising side effect — my husband reports I no longer snore while sleeping on the Yogibo.

Seriously, the best money we’ve ever spent.

There are a few enhancements to the process of refilling beans that would drastically improve the user experience. 1) Send the beans in a container with an opening that is shaped for pouring, rather than a simple plastic bag with a wide top.

I tried cutting a small hole into the bag to help direct the beans into the cardboard funnel, but these little things are so light that they go wherever the wind takes them. Building a spout into the container of refill beans would be a huge help.

2) Build a deliberately sized pouring window into the bag liner. Unzipping the liner is unreliable, and the zipper itself doesn’t “lock” to an appropriate size opening. As a result, the zipper slips wider open while pouring, even with a second set of hands holding it.

In my experience this allowed beans in the bag to fly out, especially due to point 1 above with the big bag of refill beans so difficult to direct. 3) Evolve the cheap cardboard funnel to connect to both the spout on the refill bag (#1 above) directly to the window in the bag liner (#2 above).

With these three components the refill beans could easily flow directly into the bean bag without any mess whatsoever. With the current design (which truly feels like a cheap and lazy design) the beans are making these 2 unreliable transfers which appears to be an inevitable mess.

Additionally, the shipment box containing the bag of refill beans itself had loose beans flying around, which was certainly unexpected. As a result, when we opened the shipment box (without making any punctures to the refill bag), those stray beans spilled around my floor which required me to get down on hands and knees to pick up.

Please take these suggestions into consideration for your manufacturing pipeline to improve the quality of the Yogibo product and especially the customer’s experience in maintaining it.

Used large box of refill beads used to refill more than one Yogibo plus pillows. Delivered quickly. I recommend doing refilling on hard floor, surface, it makes for easier clean up. Tiny beads tend to float but cling to cloth, rug etc.

I used a large plastic pitcher to refill my bags. A second person to hold the bag open can be useful. Also used a large safety pin to get locking zippers open. My second time refilling because we use our Yogibo daily.

I didn’t think as an adult I would be able to comfortably relax on a foam bag chair but let me tell you, it is awesome!! I wanna start by saying I like the way it was packed and shipped. It was compressed down and almost made you feel like there was no way it would take a chair form or be big enough for anyone to sit on.

When it was removed from its outer bag, it slowly started to take form. I did work and knead it like dough to help it along and it just kept getting bigger. The first time I sat on it, I was amazed at how soft it was and it almost felt like I was being engulfed by it.

I loved it!! I was floating on my own little charcoal gray cloud and I didn’t want to share it with my kids!! I eventually did though. Everyone took turns sitting in it to watch tv or play video games and not once were there any complaints.

As the days went by though, the memory foam began to set up even more and it was harder to get the same sitting feel as before. When I first was using it, I could rest my head on it and was closer to the floor but as time went on, it got firmer, taller, and became more of a chair without a back to it, if that makes sense.

So, it now looks more like a giant ottoman. Which in itself, is still great because I can comfortably rest my feet on it. Overall, I will say I like the design, concept, and the level of softness but I do wish it would have kept a little more slouch to it.

Regardless, it is a fun chair for kids and adults and it has been definitely getting used every day in my house!!!.

I was pretty impressed with this bag chair from the start. It was shipped in a fairly small box, wrapped up and inside a zip up bag. It was small and condensed, and I thought maybe this was a mistake.

I tossed it on my living room floor and it immediately began expanding before my eyes. I rolled it around and fluffed here and there for the next few days, pretty amazed at how big this got. It is now fully expanded and it is 3 foot all around, and feels much larger when you are sitting on it.

The material is a microfiber feel and seems it would be easy to wipe off spills and typical life situations with kids. The inside is memory foam and you can feel the giant balls of it inside. My daughter has a memory foam mattress and this chair is so similar in the feel.

Once you sit down, everything squishes around you, like a cocoon. It is super soft and matches my living room amazingly. My kids now call dibs on who gets to sit on it and even my 6’3″ husband can fit comfortably on this chair.

This has been a wonderful addition to my living room and I love that it is useful, comfortable, attractive and durable and see this lasting for years to come.

I received one of these sacks (6) for a fathers day gift. I built my own mattress using poly, memory (wifes side), and latex (my side) foam layers. I have also purchased 3 shredded memory foam pillows (all different brands).

When I opened the package I new something was of. It did not immediately begin to expand like every other memory foam product I have purchased. I broke apart the crispy pieces inside in homes that that would improve the situation.

It did not. It felt nothing like memory foam. I had a suspicion that it was instead filled with cheap poly foam. I unzipped both of the zippers and what do you know. Poly foam. I now have a flat, limp, uncomfortable poly foam bean bag.

If you want video proof lookup my review on the site that has a smile on their packages. It has a picture of the sad bean bag and a video of the non-memory foam piece I removed. The username that the review is under is jaydub1977.

I am hoping that Sofa Sac uses a third party manufacturer that just sent them a bad batch rather than the company purposely misleading customers. I plan to leave a review on every site that sells this product.

I am hoping that they will replace the product I received with one actually filled with memory foam. Id they do I will update this review.

This beanbag chair seems to be of high quality. However, it is huge! It is far too large to fit into my space and most any normal space. The problem is that once it have been inflated, by removing the wrapping, it is impossible to reduce the size for return shipping.

So, if not satisfied with it, too bad because you are stuck with an unreturnable, unusable over-sized bean bag chair.

I love it! It does take 2 days to get to a full size and is so nice and soft and comfy! It is pretty heavy lol It is great for my den/office area! I would def recommend for the price as well! 🙂 I got the 5 foot one and there is a picture with my review!.

The kids are thrilled with them in the playroom, and they are just what we expected. The color was perfect and we like the removable washable cover. I really want to point out that we received excellent customer service from Cozy Sack.

Highly recommend this seller.

So far the filling is holding up nicely. Time will tell. They have had it for aprox. 2 months now. It is for our grandchildren’s (3~ 4,6,& 8) bean bags. Our Daughter (their mom) is getting a new couch and love seat, and wants the kids to use their bean bags so as to protect the couch from their wear and tear.

The bags were a little bit still filled. 1 bean bag is large and 2 are somewhat smaller. It took 1 LARGE bag to top the little existing filling in the larger bean bag. Then another large bag to top the little existing filling in the 2, somewhat smaller bean bags.

Filling them was not hard. My husband and I did it, cutting a med sized opening in 1 corner of the bag, I held the bean bag open while he pored the filling in. (Do outside ~ no matter how careful you are, some will still spill! Wind.

rain and grass cutting will take care of the access. We do like the product. Hope tis is helpful.

The material was as expected with pea size foam balls and I also expected some would escape the filling mode. However, I did not expect the small particles to be like a maze of static electrical force.

I had those tiny foam balls clinging all over me, my bean bag chair and even my kitchen floor. It was like they either clung to me or would fly away from me when I was trying to sweep them up. It was funny but frustrating at the same time.

I wish I could figure out a way to eliminate the static cling. I did wet my hands and picked many up single handed which took awhile. Other than that, I have no complaints but considered it as kind of a major pain.

This worked out great, and had given my bean bags new life. If you follow the instructions and use a paper towel tube, the stuff doesn’t go flying everywhere.

These Poly Fil Pellets are wonderful! I used them to fill the bottom portion of handmade gnomes, and I filled the remainder of the body with Fiber Fill. The pellets allowed me to be sure the base of the gnomes sat flat on any surface.

They’re small enough to fill things nicely without them looking or feeling lumpy. BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU POUR THEM so you don’t end up with a gazillion tiny pellets all over the place! I was super careful and poured them slowly, but the woosh of air in the bag when I went to set it down was enough to blow a handful of pellets right out of the spout of the bag!.

Very good quality Poly Fil Classic 2 cu. feet Bean Bag Filler. The Poly Fil is a small size bean filler that makes it good size for small size projects or for softer and finer feel in bigger projects, like bean chair.

I originaly purchased it to refill our bean chair that got ripped and spilled. But now I’m thinking that i can also refill kids plush toys that got riped and need repare, or i was planning to sew or knit few toys for our kids myself.

I have an ottoman I made almost 20 years ago. As the filler packs down, I add more. I bought this bag of filler for that purpose, and they have improved the packaging. There is a screw cap and it makes it so much easier to dispense the filler and then to store the remainder.

Used it to fill my round 32 meditation pillow. Def need more stuffing to fill it but this got me about 34 of the way. Enough that I use the cushion even though it is not fully stuffed. Very comfysupportive for sitting or laying down.

Highly recommend!.

My son sewed five bean bags as part of his Eagle Scout project. Having never made them before, we experimented with the filler. Two bags will fill a brand new bean bag, but the seat is very firm. The most comfortable seat was produced by using one bag of polystyrene pellets and shredded memory foam.

If you are refilling an existing bean bag, these foam pellets would probably be perfect to rejuvenate your old bean bag. Filling the bean bags were a messy process. I sucked up all stay pellets with my bag less vacuum cleaner and dumped the vacuum canister into the bean bag.

A product, it definitely keeps its shape so the foam balls aren’t collapsing right away. The only challenge is keeping the stash down so we don’t end up everywhere. 

I just put in bean bag today so far so good. They are bigger than the ones inside the bag now.still standing up to my grandkids with wear and tear and they are holding up glad I purchased these

Amazing find! I wanted a bean bag to refill my La-Z-Boy and this was just what I needed. Just one bag did the trick. The beans are exactly the same size as the ones that came with the original product.

As for the store, I asked for curbside pickup. The man from the store brought it in no time to my car (no more than 10min wait) and even helped me get the bag out of the box it comes in so it would fit in the little space that was available in the backseat.

Overall, great product and awesome store pickup experience.

whoa this is a lot of BEANS! Someone in another comment recommended using a large poster board as a funnel. I didn’t have that. so I used one of those bendy cutting boards. did the trick. but a poster board would have been ideal.

the static in these things is UNREAL! You can barely function if it touches you cuz they will start attracting to one another and you busy out in BEANS! It’s actually hilarious. I refilled 2 completely flattened out regular sized bean bags with it.

and still have a tiny bit let over. I could have fit it all. but I wanted to save some to have so my friends and family could stick their hands down in the bag. they smell terrible. like chemicals. but once it’s in the bean bags, the smell isn’t there.

Filled an old beanbag instead of buying a new one. One bag was perfect. Tip to filling your beanbag. Cut the corner of the refill bag where you will pour. Then cut a small air hole on the opposite corner, but the same end.

That will allow the beans to flow into your beanbag much easier. Beans are always very electrostatic.

Really great in our workout room. Keep it in the corner and it jazzes up the place! Not super comfy but certainly adequate for a quick break.

Got this fill for my newborn photography posing bean bag. Price is worth it! Just make sure you fill the bag over a bath the bathtub for easy clean up!

it comes fast, and fits with our bean bag seat which is not a product from wayfair.

I purchased the ultimate sac 6000 for a birthday gift. It sits in my living room and is only used on rare occasions. So less that today, 9/19/22, I decided to take the cover off and wash it to freshen it up since it has been sitting for a year! I took the cover off only to discover the seam had about a 6 inch area where it had come apart and the foam was EVERYWHERE.

It was all stuck to the inside of the cover. I shook off what I could and tossed it into the washing machine with the hope that my washing machine doesn’t get ruined from all of it. Much to my surprise, after washing it, the ENTIRE cover inside and out are both covered in foam that will not come off and didn’t come off in the dryer either.

There is no way possible to get the cover clean and now I also have an ultimate sac that has a 6 inch seam tear and now I also can’t use the cover. Help! I paid too much money for this to happen!!.

The ultimate sack serves its purpose – providing a fun and relatively comfy place to sit with the family. Especially for the kids, they are thrilled. However it was exhausting to set up. Also, I ordered two of the exact same thing, and there is some inconsistency in quality.

One sack was very firm and “poofed up” upon setup. The other was very spread out and squashed looking. It needs constant fluffing up to poof up. When they sit next to each other, they look like two different sacks.

One sits tall and holds up its shape well. The other looks more like a depressed donut. Almost as if it had been used and returned prior. But I have no hope in exchanging it as I can’t imagine repacking this behemoth and shipping back out again.

Just receiving the two was an ordeal on its own. But like I said, serves its purpose and fun for movie nights.

Well, loved this at first after I got it as a gift. Left a review but then the cover ripped & it never expanded & was kind of hard. So customer service was able to send more “filler” no my house. However what I received was absolutely garbage & when I opened the ultimate sack 6000 I was HIGHLY disappointed in what was inside this sack.

This company is taking burned, discarded, dirty foam from wherever & throwing it inside these covers. That’s all. I am disgusted with what I have discovered as this isn’t worth $25 let alone $300. I got a box of trash at my door & how in the world I was supposed to get it inside the sack is beyond me.

I do not recommend ordering from these ppl. This is a scam. I want some kind of replacement since I can’t send this back.

New family favorite. I thought this would be a great addition to our Nugget in the playroom expecting my kindergartner to use it as a crash pad. Instead it quickly became our favorite cozy hangout. At 5’ across its large enough for adults to curl up or sprawl out comfortably and there’s plenty of space for my son to cuddle up with me.

And the height is tall enough for adults to get up from fairly easily The stuffing is shredded memory foam, not the traditional beanbag styrofoam beads and feels super soft yet supportive and kind of “hugs” your body.

The microfiber cover is soft and has a suede like feel. All the seams are double sewn and while we haven’t needed to wash it I think it will hold up well in the washing machine. It’s seems like it would be fairly easy to remove and reinsert through the large zipper since you can squish and manipulate the memory foam.

The beanbag does arrive compressed but even compressed I’d estimate the box is roughly 30”x30”x36” and weighs about 50lbs. Pretty bulky but not so large/heavy that I couldn’t move/lift it alone but it did barely fit in the back of my midsize SUV.

After opening it begins expanding immediately and had fully expanded to all its cozy, comfy, bran bag glory by the next morning.

I bought the 6ft ultimate sack over 8 years ago. It is used daily and fought over by everyone. It’s also slept in occasionally by grandkids. This year I noticed it was not fluffing up as much so I took out about 1/3 of the old stuffing and replaced it with new.

The original cover has stood up to all the years of grandkids jumping from coffee table and sofa into it. Zipper and seams are all intact. I do have a second cover and I switch them occasionally to change livingroom colors.

I cant say enough to how well this is made and how much we love it! My best friend had a name brand llove sack. It lasted about 5 years before seams ripped and foam flattened. She paid over triple the amount as I did and ultimate sack is better made.

Thank you ultimate sack!.

So I receive my ultimate sack yesterday. I just got home too open it up. after putting it all together I noticed that the foam chunks are really hard inside of the sack. Sack is not very comfortable due to that.

Hard plastic on one side of the foam causing the sack to be very uncomfortable and poke in certain spots. This is super annoying since I spent about $300 turn or did it really come with enough foam. I was really hoping the material inside would be a lot more comfortable because it’s just a bunch of chunks of pieces different sizes poking into my rib cage as I lay down on it.

I read the reviews to make my decision on buying it but I really don’t feel like people are honest about the reviews. Also take a picture of the phone that has hard plastic on one side. This kind of.

All makes me sick to my stomach. Super disappointed. I think it would be a great sack if they use a better quality foam and made the foam a little more fine so I don’t feel the chunks or the plastic in my back.

the only thing good about it is the cover. The footstool has nicer material in it then the sack itself I shouldn’t have to open up the bag just to take out hard pieces and cut the big ones and two small ones.

It’s going to make a freaking mess.

The bag was much larger than I required to add additional filler to a pouf I purchased earlier this year. However, it served the purpose. Seeing a tip sign by the product in the store was most helpful since they exude much static.

The tip was to mix baking soda into the beans. I also sprayed Static Guard into the bag before pouring. Both made it easier by keeping the beans from flying everywhere.

This product is perfect to refill any bean bag, or bean bag chairs, you may have. It is a large bag that could’ve filled my son’s bean bag completely. I would highly recommend this product if you are in the market for bean bag refill beans.

The price was also much lower than most other places I looked.

I’ve made lots of bean bag chairs since clear back in the 70’s, for my children and their friends and now my grandchildren and their friends. I’ve tried everything on the market for stuffing them, so I consider myself an expert on this topic.

Styrofoam puffed ‘peanuts’, no matter what shape or size, will compress down with weight applied to it. Believe me, you don’t want to go through all the time and expense of making a bean bag for a child, teenager or adult only to have them bring it back to you for a refill a few weeks later.

Been there and done that! My favorite stuffing for bean bag chairs is shredded rubberish foam (sorry, can’t remember what its called). Google for a wholesale source for it. No matter what you end up choosing to use to fill your bean bag chair with, be sure to make an inner bag of inexpensive fabric like muslin to put your filling in because your outer fabric will get dusty and dirty and need to be laundered.

Now, back to THIS product. Its great for packing and shipping items that you don’t want to get broken.

Arrived in a couple of days. Perfectly sized for my bean chair (100 lt). Pricing with ship was reasonable. Refilling process is not easy; ended up putting the complete bag into my chair, cut it open from the inside, then removed the cut plastic bag pieces.

The beans are of better quality than the original ones. It settled down and my chair is usable again. Thanks.
