When it comes to a bean bag filler for your old and tired large bean bag there is actually several great choices. With the cost of replacing a perfectly good bean bag because its lost some of the original fluff and comfort is expensive, but you have some great choices.
1) You can buy a 2 cubic foot bag of bean bag filler and simple add it to your old bags content. This is a great option if there was for some reason a tear or a zipper was left open and you lost some of the filler. Cost is just under $50.00.
2) You can purchase a 6 cubic foot bag of bean bag filler, and depending on the size of your bean bag, this could replace nearly all of the old filler. Cost for this is just under $100.00
3) As a rule of thumb there is about 10 cubic feet of filler in a large bean bag, but keep in mind you can mix with some of the old filler to get that old tired bag back in shape.
There seems to be four standard mixes for refilling bean bags that vary in price and quality. As you can imagine they have different applications that I will go over one at a time.
1) Virgin Bead Filler: Is made up of many round “BB like polystyrene particles that have never been used. It has not been recycled, and when you squeeze them, they bounce right back to their original shape. That is why this refill will keep your bean bag chairs very full, fluffy and comfortable for a long time. This is the recommend bean bag filler for kids bean bags as opposed to a foam filler because kids generally aren’t heavy enough to form the foam in foam-filled bean bag chairs.
2) Royal Mix™ Filler: Royal Mix™ Filler is a special blend of Virgin Beads and Shredded Foam. This is the one recommend for overall comfort and fullness in an adult type bean bag chair. This is the finest quality bean bag refill.
3) High Quality Shredded Foam: A great, high quality bean bag filler for your favorite bean bag chairs! This bean bag filler is made from a shredded foam and styro-foam mix, which helps to keep your bean bags very full, fluffy and comfortable for years. This mixture of high quality shredded foam will make your old bean bag chair feel just like new.
4) Recycled Filler: This is a mix of recycled foam and styro-foam pieces. Each bag can vary as it is bagged up from a truckload of recycled styro-foam pieces. This recycled bean bag chair refill allows for a less expensive refill for your bean bag chairs and is used a lot in the kid’s furniture.
There you have it. The run down on bean bag filler available to put some life back into your old favorite bean bag. In this day ad age it helps to have alternatives when it comes to spending hard earned money.
