How Much Fill Should I Buy?

Estimate fill for pillows, cushions, bolsters and other projects. For a bean bag chair, use our Bean Bag Fill Calculator. Choose your intended use, then enter the shape dimensions or container volume.

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

Enter your measurements to see an estimate.

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.

I made a beanbag a few years ago but the stuffing became compressed and it was not usable. I opened a seam and dumped in the large size of this shredded foam and its great! It was a little messy so when I stuff the next one I'll bring it outside and wear a mask.

I have no idea how people would use this for a bean bag filler unless it was for an infant or toddler. I received what appeared to be a bunch of garbage foam scraps- most of them so tiny- with zero structure. This is not dense foam- it is like the thin stuff that usually cushion mailers, etc. I suppose it could be used for stuffed animals or possibly a pillow but for sure not a bean bag! The company offered to refund upon a return, which is nice but I don’t feel like the need to increase the carbon footprint to box up and returns what I would consider garbage. This whole thing is very strange. I have no idea how anyone would say that this could fill a bean bag!?

I am very happy with the products I received. Especially the kapok from the previous order I did sorta review (I hadn't unpacked it from its great packaging yet). I stuffed my 8 pillows today! I'll be ordering more of that lovely kapok to finish my project.

I had two mid sized bean bags to renew the fill on, I wish I could give an actual volume but I'll say they're a decent size for one adult. 2.5 bags would have filled one of them about 2/3 full, at an estimate. We put half in each and, combined with the original filling, it worked well. It's quiet and comfortable.

The seller got back to me quickly with advice of how much to have ordered and it was the perfect amount to fill my new pouf. A little messy to fill, but if I get another one, I'll try a different approach. Pouf feels great now that it's all in!:)

I ordered this filling for a big beanbag Ive had in storage fir a while. I wasn’t sure on what kind of filling to order (there are so many). I’m really glad I ordered this one and from this store. The updates for shipping were great. I’m very pleased with the filling. I will definitely order a second shipment to fill my bag! Highly recommend!

Shipping was a bit slow (to be expected these days), but it was worth the wait -- it topped up our beanbag chair with foam left over! Our other beanbag chair is new and still has plenty of support, but I'll be back for another package of this foam once the beans start to compress.
