Congratulations on your brand-new bean bag! We know you're itching to jump right into a world of cosy comfort. But before you can dive in, let's get that bad boy filled up. Now, some of our bean bags may come part-filled and in multiple boxes, so grab a friend – this is a two-person job. 

 

When Your Bean Bag Arrives

Step 1) Person one, take charge of the netting and carefully untie that knot. Hold tight and don’t let go of the end, we don't want any runaway bead! While securely gripping the end of the net with one hand, lift the net over your arm to section off a small portion of beans. It's like creating a plug in the netting so you won’t pour too many beans in at once and risk spilling them everywhere! 

Step 2) Person two, unzip both zippers of the bean bag– you know we've got extra security for those little beans. Pull the neck of the fabric out of the bean bag, creating a nice wide funnel for those beans to get cosy in. 

Step 3) Person one, time to shine once again! Take the end of the net and put it as far into the bean bag as possible. Gradually loosen your grip on the untied end and watch those beans flow through from the small section you created, filling up the bean bag.  

Step 4) Person two, you can gently shake the beanbag as those beans are flowing to help distribute the filling. 

It should be starting to look like a fluffy cloud, taking shape before your eyes... So feel free to repeat the above steps to add as many beans as you desire to achieve your perfect level of plushness!

Side note: For more structured products, such as armchairs and sofas, we recommend pausing when the beanbag is nearly full. Zip both zippers up, give your beanbag a good shake to distribute the beans and see if it is comfortable for you and how you lounge. 

Step 5) Once your bean bag is brimming with bean-y goodness, it's time to seal the deal. Close up that inner zip, tuck the neck of the fabric back into the bean bag, and then zip up the outer zip. And voila! Your bean bag is filled and ready for some serious chill action. 

Just to make sure everything is sitting just right, gently turn your bean bag over and give it a good shake and plump. To find out more about plumping your bean bag, click here. 

 

Customised Comfort

 When filling your bean bag, you can add as much or as little filling as you want to achieve the perfect level of plushness. Obviously, the more filling, the firmer the bean bag. But if you want our recommendation for maximum comfort and fullness, go ahead and add all the beans in the net. Trust us, it'll feel like sitting on a squishy cloud! 

 

Future Fill-ups 

Over time, your bean bag may start to lose its fluff and plumpness, depending on how much you use it. Don't fret, it's perfectly normal. That just means it's time for a refill! Grab some fresh bead from our refill page and fill it up to regain that perfect support and sink-in softness. It'll be like your bean bag just came out of the box all over again.

With your bean bag filled to the brim with comfort, there's only one thing left to do – let the relaxation begin! Get ready to kick back, relax, and embrace beanbag bliss.
