While bean bags are a great addition to any home, they do not last forever and will eventually need to be refilled. Buying enough filling for your bean bag can be expensive, so it is important to know how much to purchase when you are in the market for refills. Fortunately, there are many cheap and environmentally friendly alternatives to purchasing bean bag filling from retailers.
The majority of bean bag filling is made up of little inflated polystyrene beads. While these are inexpensive and easy to find in stores, they are not biodegradable and can be dangerous to wildlife if ingested by animals who mistake it for food. This is why it is recommended to check with your local recycling plant for details of how to properly dispose of them.
Alternatively, you can use old pillows and quilts that you no longer use, crumbed foam (essentially memory foam), mini sponge cubes, wood saw dust, rag cloths or coconut husks to fill your bean bag. When preparing these materials for bean bag filling, be sure to prepare your work area on a hard surface, such as tile or linoleum, and wear rubber gloves to protect your hands from the sharp edges of the foam pieces. Also, be sure to wear a mask and eye protection for any dust particles. You will also need a large plastic bag for holding your beans to collect any that fall during the process.
