100% equals the measured volume. 200% means twice that volume of loose fill before compression. Changing fill or intended use resets this starting allowance.

These are estimates, not guaranteed purchase quantities. Cover shape, measurements, packing, existing fill and preferred firmness affect the result. Compressible fills settle under load. Add gradually and adjust by feel. If the result seems unusual, contact us before buying.

the packaging was horrible, i was told the amount could fill a 6 ft bean bag it did not.

Store owner replied: Hey, We are truly sorry that the packaging arrived in poor condition and that the amount of fill fell short of your expectations for a 6 ft bean bag. Please reach out to our customer support team with your order details so we can assist you directly. Ensuring our products arrive securely and match the guidance provided is very important to us. We want to make sure your bean bag gets properly filled and ready to use.

Packages came separately and were not bagged as pictured. I open the package only to have the pellets pour out all I’ve room. I was expecting a fully enclosed bag inside mailer. A second bag came 4 days later. That package somehow got ripped in mail. It came opened and put in a large heavy bag from the post office. Problem was that about 1/3 of bag spilled out when mail carrier delivered it and I ended up with a section of lobby filled with loose pellets and chasing many of them all over the Lobby. I’d never order or recommend. There needs to be some way to get pellets out of package and control the process of getting them into to container without having to open and fight with the contents. I do like the pellets and they are doing the job of stuffing my pfouff

Back in March 2026, I emailed order@beanproducts.com to inquire whether you work with small businesses, as I have been purchasing your product for a business venture I am currently developing. I explained that I would likely need larger quantities in the coming months and wanted to explore wholesale options. I received a response from Chuck Bumenthal, to whom I replied a few days later. Unfortunately, I never received another response after that. I followed up with two additional emails and, to this day, I am still waiting for an answer. Because of the lack of communication, I have continued purchasing regular quantities, although I am still genuinely interested in understanding how your wholesale process works. Regarding the product itself, I would recommend it without hesitation. The quality and environmentally conscious approach are exactly why I continue purchasing from your company. However, I have consistently experienced issues with shipping and packaging. Every time my orders arrive, some of the bags are damaged or torn open. Additionally, when ordering quantities such as 20 cubic feet (which I expected to arrive as ten 2-cubic-foot bags), I received fewer bags than expected on two separate occasions. I assume the total weight was redistributed into larger bags, but this was never communicated. The most frustrating part has been receiving damaged bags with holes and realizing that product was lost during transit. I continue buying your product because, in my opinion, it offers the best balance of quality and environmental responsibility. However, I would feel much more comfortable recommending your company to others if communication response times improved and if more care were taken with packaging and shipping quality. I would appreciate hearing back regarding both the wholesale inquiry and these recurring shipping concerns. Thank you.

The beans were perfect filling for our bean bag, and Bean Products customer service responded promptly when one bag of our shipment wasn’t received with the other two bags. This is our second order and we are very happy.

I had asked the salesmen to give me an estimate of how many bags I would need to fill a 36" round bean bag seat. I was told 5 bags for one seat. After receiving 10 bags for two chairs I only needed 5 bags for 2 chairs. I used a 6th bag to re-fill an existing bean bag that had flattened out. Now I have 4 bags left. The salesmen grossly overestimated my needs. At around $20 a bag thats an expensive mistake, or was it. As of now I have asked my kids if they want another chair, if not then I will be returning them.

I used 5.5 cubic feet/0.15 cubic meters to fill a bean bag chair for my daughter. Worked great. She loves it and is using the remaining material to fill a bean bag for her stuffed animals.

This works well for the pouf I made. Environmentally pretty friendly, not too expensive, affordable and comfortable. It would be helpful if it were labeled as coming in two separate bags, as they arrived a few days apart and I was concerned when I thought I had only gotten 2 cubic feet.

I used these pellets as insulation in a wall cavity and they has done a fantastic job. They poured easily and settled to the bottom of the cavity as I'd hoped they would. There was a huge difference in temperature of the walls from the before to the after. Static electricity was bit of problem as the pellets were sticking to my hands but with patience I got done. I bought 4 cu ft and only used 2. Two cubic feet ia a LOT of pellets. I AM VERY PLEASED WITH MY PURCHASE!

Had an issue with my delivery and wrote Bean an email. Much to my surprise just before Christmas weekend I was contacted the same day. They resolved the delivery issue & the rest of my order came just a few days later. Highly recommend great customer service.

Bean bag fill should be placed in boxed up form to ship. The bean bag fill was sent in plastic bags and it was delivered with a tear in it and bean fill was lost in transport. I received less than what I ordered.
