Where to assemble your bean bag

Fill indoors Before filling your bean bag, it is recommended that you use a contained non-carpeted space such as a kitchen that can be easily cleared of any stray beans after your bean bag is filled.

Extra Top Tips

Useful things to note:

Fill Footstool First

Fillings for bean bags with footstools are combined to save on packaging /plastic waste. To ensure the filling is distributed correctly between the bean bag and footstool please fill the footstool before filling the beanbag.

Fix Damage To Box

Occasionally during transit our boxes may have been slightly damaged. Check and fix any holes that might let the beans escape!

Tape Flaps Of Box

You might find tilting the box easier by holding it under the flaps. Add some tape across the corners of each flap to make them secure and strengthen the box.

Test Run

Practice makes perfect. Before pouring any beans you might want to have a few practice pours with an empty box!

Dustpan, Not Vacuum

Even the most coordinated spill some beans! Rather than clogging up a vacuum, it's super easy to sweep up the beans and pour them back into the bean bag.

Why do we send them separately

Simple. Reduce…

Carbon Footprint, Delivery Cost, Exchange Hassle & Damage in Transit.

The internet has changed in many ways in the 15 years since we started selling beanbags. The photos are sharper (they load faster too!), the delivery services are swifter. The physical challenges however remain.

We realised early on, people want the ability to simply swap a colour or fabric without having to send the fillings back in circles. Just to drop a cover in a letterbox/locker is much simpler.

We also realised that a majority of the beanbags, due to their shape, required significantly larger cartons than the volume of filling and that giant beanbags, for which we are well known, are not compatible with the parcel network. A 2 person delivery (like you have with a regular sofa), seems an unnecessary cost for such a lightweight product.

All of this, solved simply by a quick and simple 2 person task of pouring the beans into the cover, all this with the added benefit that the beautiful fabrics remains further protected from the courier!
