Bean bag chairs are a popular and comfortable seating option that can add a touch of fun and relaxation to any room. Refilling a bean bag chair yourself can be an easy and cost-effective solution when it starts to lose its shape or becomes less comfortable over time. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to fill a bean bag chair.

1.Gather your materials: Before you begin, you’ll need the following:

– Bean bag filler (polystyrene beads or shredded memory foam)

– A large plastic bag (e.g. a garbage bag)

– Measuring tape

– A funnel or large container with a wide mouth

– A friend to help you

2Prepare your workspace: Choose an area with plenty of space and minimal breeze, as the filler can create quite a mess if it’s windy. Lay down a tarp or old sheet to make cleanup easier.

3.Measure your bean bag chair: To determine the right amount of filler to use, check the manufacturer’s guidelines or measure the circumference (the distance around the largest part) of your bean bag chair and divide by two. This gives you an estimate of how many cubic feet of filler you will need.

4.Prepare the filler: Open your bag of bean bag filler carefully, as it can become airborne easily. Place it inside the large plastic bag to minimize mess while transferring the material.

5.Create a filling funnel: If you don’t have an actual funnel handy, make one by fashioning a cone out of thick paper or cardboard and securing it with tape. Insert the narrow end into the opening of your bean bag chair.

6.Begin filling: Have your friend hold open both the access point of your bean bag chair and the large plastic containing the new filler while you transfer batches from the container to your custom funnel or directly inside using the provided funnel. Continue filling your bean bag chair until it reaches the desired level of firmness and comfort.

7.Close and clean up: Once you’ve successfully filled your bean bag chair, zip or seal it shut, ensuring that all extra air is out to avoid a lumpy appearance. Clean up any spilled filler by carefully picking it up or using a vacuum cleaner.

By following these seven steps, you can quickly and easily breathe new life into your old bean bag chair, restoring its comfort and appearance while saving money by not needing to purchase a new one.
