What type of fabric are your bean bags made from?

Our luxurious bean bags are manufactured using soft, durable ballistic nylon. They are a stylish and fun addition to any room but are also durable and versatile enough to be dragged out into the garden for a lazy summer day…and while they are breathable they are also water proof. Great for kids, the cover is completely stain proof and can be cleaned with a non abrasive, bleach free cleaner and a damp cloth.

What are the beans made from?

Our bean bags are made from soft, squishy 'virgin quality' polystyrene bead, suitable for all bean filled products. The small round shape of each bead fits and moulds to your body's natural contours.

They are fire retardant and compliant to all UK, European and U.S. Fire and Safety Regulations for soft furnishing and furniture.
In other words: the best you can get. Your bean bag will adapt its shape immediately to that of your body.

How many beans in a bag?

There are on average 7000 beans per litres of filling. An average beanbag requires 250 litres, this equates to a minimum of 1.75 million beans per bean bag.

Are bean bags safe for children?

Absolutely! Our bean bag chairs are double stitched and proven to hold up to the abuse of even the biggest children and adults. For additional safety, the zip is sealed in a tough Velcro seal, that even older kids find tough to open..

Can I order a custom beanbag?

We encourage custom orders, and regularly get orders from coffee shops, night clubs, interior designers, fashion houses etc.

You can send us the dimensions of the space you wish to use, you can send us your custom design, or you can send us a material that you may be using in you home and we can make the bean bag to match.

If you have furniture that you wish to match with the bean bag, simply contact the company who manufactured your furniture as they will often be able to supply the exact fabric of construction, or ask for a swatch and we will search our suppliers for a match.

Who designed the world's first bean bag?

Bean Bag folklore tells of a gentleman by the name of Roger Dean who was in the employ of a furniture company call Hilie. The tale tells that towards the end of 1966, the age of Flower Power and Free Love, Dean created a chair that was named the Sea Urchin. The Urchin consisted of twelve sections of foam, which were glued together, and although the Urchin was of a similar construction to the bean bag of the future, without the beans it simply was not a bean bag.

Bean bag aficionados say that the bean bag was brought to the western world by the hippies of the sixties returning from travels thru Asia and India. They had been introduced to cushions that were filled with dried food beans, and were used to support the base of the spine during meditation…It is said that upon their return, while seeking a cheap alternative to the arm chair…the bean bag was born.

It would not be until 1969 that the bean bag as we know it was presented to the public. The first mass produced bean bag chair was created by the Italian designers Gatti, Paolini, and Teodora while working for the Zanotta Company. These first bean bag chairs were called Soccos and were pear-shaped leather bags filled with Styrofoam beans.

Bean bags as we know them were born.
