Bean Bag Filling
Our bean bags have been designed to be filled with polystyrene beans (also known as EPS beans or beads in some countries).
For our Canadian customers, you have the option to add beans to your order and we will arrange to send the beans separately from one of our preferred suppliers in Canada, arriving around the same time as your bean bag covers from New Zealand.
Alternatively, you have the option to purchase independently online or from retail stores (see list of suggested retailers below).
SUGGESTED RETAILERS
PURCHASING FILLED – CUSTOM ORDERS
Due to the size/volume of filled bean bags, it is far more cost effective to airfreight unfilled bean bag covers internationally, with most customer’s choosing to fill their bean bags with locally purchased polystyrene filling to save substantially on shipping costs.
We do, on occasion, have customers that prefer to pay for sea-freight of filled bean bags. This comes at an additional cost and lead time that is usually only viable for larger orders of 10+ items

FILLING VOLUMES
Filling volumes can vary by personal preference. Some like them firmer and more structured, some prefer them softer so they can sink right in.
Note: Beans will compress slightly over time, making the bean bags softer and more comfortable with use. We recommend topping them up as required to get the bean bag to a level of comfort you are happy with. This will also help maintain the shape and structure of the product.

FILLING PROCESS
All Lujo bean bags come with detailed filling instructions.
It is a simple process, requiring two people. Basically, one person holds the liner open, the other person slowly pours in the beans.
After the work is done you can sit back, sink in…and relax
SAFETY
WARNING: Polystyrene Beans are dangerous if swallowed or inhaled by children.
For the safety of young children, we use safety zips with a removable puller. If you have young children we recommend removing the puller on the liner once filed, so children cannot access the polystyrene beans.
Should you need to open the liner in future, simply attach the puller or slide a paper clip through the hole in the zip slider and use it to open and close zipper.
If you have questions about product safety please don’t hesitate to contact us.
