Bean bag filling

Although bean bag filling can be made of a number of materials, Happers only uses its own expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads. Expanded polystyrene or polyspan is the 100% recyclable, anti-allergy, anti-fungal, moisture-proof and fire-retardant material that, once expanded into virgin beads, allows bean bags to contour to your body’s shape when you sit or lay down.

The expanded polystyrene used for bean bag filling eventually goes flat over time and with use. Although the filling manufactured by Happers is denser to ensure a longer service life than other EPS fillings, regular use of our bean bags means that minimal maintenance will be required in the form of a refill.

The best way to know when you should replace the beads or refill a bean bag is its level of comfort. If after months of use you note that it is no longer as soft as in the beginning or it seems to have gone flat, it may be time to buy a bag of filling. The process is simple and your bean bag will look just like new in only a few minutes.

The amount of beads will depend on whether you are adding more to a bean bag that has gone flat over time or you are filling one that is completely empty.

Check our table for the amount of filling needed for each bean bag.

It’s very easy to refill a Happers bean bag, although we suggest asking someone for assistance (trust us, you won’t regret it). 
All of our models have a double zipper system. Once you have opened the zippers, insert the mouth of the refill bag into the inner bean bag cover and carefully fill it with our bean bag beads.

For maximum comfort, we recommend refilling the bean bag in phases so you can stop to check whether more beads are needed based on your preference. Once you are done, store the remaining bean bag filling in the bag provided for future use.

To ensure the bean bag contours to your body’s shape for maximum comfort, it is essential to choose the right filling material.

Happers manufactures the expanded polystyrene beads used for bean bag filling so our products are able to withstand regular use and keep their shape as long as possible. For a longer service life than other bean bag filling alternatives, our beads are 20% denser than others on the market.

Our filling is anti-fungal and anti-microbial, so you won’t have to worry about bacteria, mites, fungus or microorganisms. Happers expanded polystyrene beads are treated to make them fire-retardant for optimal safety.
