Foamerica.com cares about the environment. If you are interested in recycling EPS foam end caps (the foam packaging materials in your brand-new stereo, television set, DVD player, computer, etc.), please send them to us. We will grind up the EPS and recycle the beads. You can put them in the box we use to ship your beanbag filler. The shipping will probably cost you about $35, but at least you know you are helping to reduce landfill waste!

FAQs

What type of bean bag filler is best?

It depends on your priorities. Virgin EPS beads are best for a classic, smooth feel at a moderate price. Pure polystyrene beads are best for durability and daily use, they compress less over time. Recycled EPS is best for budget-conscious buyers or eco-friendly projects. All three types are available in 3, 6, and 9 cubic foot bags.

How many cubic feet of filler do I need for a bean bag chair?

A standard adult bean bag requires 6 to 9 cubic feet. A kids' bean bag or floor pillow takes 3 to 4 cubic feet. If you're topping off a slightly flat chair, 2 to 3 cubic feet is usually enough.

How often do you need to refill a bean bag?

It depends on usage. Bean bags used daily typically need topping off every 6 to 12 months. Chairs used occasionally may go 2 to 3 years before needing a refill. Pure polystyrene beads last the longest before compressing.

Can I mix different types of bean bag filler?

Yes. Some customers mix Virgin EPS beads with Recycled filler for a balance of comfort and value. The different bead sizes can actually create a more varied texture. There's no issue combining types.

Is polystyrene bean bag filler safe?

Yes. Foamerica's filler is CFC-free and meets RoHS requirements. The material is non-toxic and safe for indoor use. Keep away from children under 3 due to choking hazard from small beads.
