What's Inside a Bean Bag Chair?
A bean bag chair contains loose filling inside a fabric enclosure. Depending on the model, common fillings include beads, shredded polyurethane foam, or shredded latex. The product listing tells you what is actually inside.
How common fills differ
- Beads move easily around the body and make a lightweight chair.
- Shredded foam creates a cushioned feel and can be redistributed by fluffing.
- Latex pieces provide a springy feel and are generally heavier than beads.
A removable outer cover may sit over a separate filled liner, but constructions vary. Do not assume a chair contains kapok or buckwheat simply because those materials are sold for pillows or meditation cushions. For refills, match the material and instructions for your specific chair.
