Widely used in university dorms and living rooms, bean bags are highly versatile and adjustable. They can be purchased online, in an infinite variety of colors, shapes, sizes and materials. Filling a beanbag chair can be tricky, so follow these steps and get ready to rest comfortably on your new purchase!
Steps
Step 1. Inspect the package you received for any damage
If you have any problems, return it to the sender immediately.
Step 2. Carefully inspect your empty beanbag, looking for any holes or tears in the material
Higher quality beanbags, constructed of materials such as leather, tend to be more durable and long-lasting, and less prone to punctures. However, the materials available are really numerous.
Step 3. Ask a friend to help you fill the chair
One person will have to hold it open while the other carefully fills it. Fill the chair in a draft-free room so the lightweight padding material doesn't fly, making the process more difficult.
Step 4. Close the zipper
Some are equipped with a safety lock, to keep the zipper tight. Others have special protective patches, to protect them from the curious hands of the little ones.
Step 5. Sit in the chair
You will immediately feel like you are sinking, as if sitting in quicksand, as the padding settles and the trapped air escapes.
Step 6. If you want a firmer seat, add more padding
Step 7. Relax and enjoy the best piece of furniture you have ever owned in your life
Your bean bag will become your new best friend. Don't forget to get up and tidy up!
Advice
- Some people prefer to fill their seats only halfway, others completely. The bean bags can be purchased empty, allowing for total customization.
- Prefer an armchair with quality stitching and durable materials, such as leather. Invest your money in a product that guarantees you long years of convenience.
- You can order additional padding. The most common is polyester, the technical term for expanded polystyrene, also used for isothermal containers. The padding used in the bean bags is polystyrene, crumbled into small polystyrene balls to ensure a light and comfortable result. Polystyrene is economical and guarantees a long service life. The chair will adapt to the imprint of your body, becoming extremely comfortable. You can hit it and shape it in any desired position, the polystyrene balls will help keep it in shape for you.
- Buy a bean bag with a zipper on the bottom to be able to increase the amount of padding over time. Over the months, and with frequent use, the padding will crush. By adding the necessary padding you will greatly extend the life of your chair.
- Do a thorough research before buying your chair, there are so many options available.
- Read previous customer testimonials to make sure you are buying a quality product.
Warnings
- Buy enough padding and make sure you don't use all of it. Over time, the one inside the chair will squeeze, and you'll need to add more.
- Polystyrene balls can be dangerous for children, putting them at risk of suffocation. Store the padding in a secure zippered bag out of their reach.
- Children love to jump on bean bags. Beanbags are tough, but they have limitations. Do what you can to protect them from the jumps and feet of the little ones.
