5. What are the beans?
Our beanbags are filled with expanded polystyrene 'beads'. They look like tiny white peas. Polystyrene beads do compress after some time so it is recommended that you top them up from time to time. Our beanbags have built in zippers to allow filling and emptying should you want to wash your cover or change the polystyrene beads. Please note our polystyrene beads are fire proof.

6.What is the best way to fill beanbags?
The best way to avoid spillage while filling beanbags is to do it with someone else. One person can hold the bag open around the zip while the other pours the polystyrene beads. It is best to put the opening of the bag containing the beans into the bean bag to avoid spills. We recommend you fill the bag indoors as the polystyrene beads are very light and could fly around even in light winds.
