Bean bags are great for relaxed, easy seating at home, in a bedroom, a gaming room or a study area. They offer a relaxed seating experience and can be easily integrated into various interior styles. But over time, bean bags may lose their bounce and support. Refilling can be a practical solution for making a bean bag feel plush and restoring its shape without having to buy a new one.
In addition to its website, Relaxsit also offers bean bag refill material, allowing customers to top up their bean bags. With varying refill amounts, it is easy for bean bag owners to discover an easy method to keep their beloved furnishings without the need to change the entire product.
Why Do Bean Bags Lose Their Shape?
Lightweight beads are used to stuff bean bags, so they conform to the body of the person using them. These beads can become compressed and settle after use, but are flexible and comfortable at the same time. Over time, the filling of a bean bag can shift when the person sits or reclines on it or moves around.
The bean bag may look flatter than before as the filling sets. It may also offer less support, making it difficult to get comfortable while sitting. This doesn't mean that you have to replace the whole bean bag.
If the bean bag has lost its volume in many cases new filling can be added to the bean bag to restore volume and give it a better look. When the outer cover is still in good shape, and the inside liner is in good shape, this is particularly helpful for refilling.
Learn about Relaxsit's Bean Bag Refilling Options
Polystyrene beads for bean bag refilling are being offered by Relaxsit on its official website. Designed to add back the filling to compatible bean bags and other appropriate seating products.
The product listing indicates that there are four options for customers to select from:
-
0.5kg: Less amount for filling a bean bag when its volume has decreased.
-
1 kg: Moderate refilling needs.
-
2 kg: More filling for bean bags.
-
4 kg: This is an adequate amount to take into consideration for larger seating products, or heavier additions.
This depends on the size of the bean bag, the existing fill level, and the desired firmness. Customers are advised to read the product information prior to the purchase and choose the quantity that suits their needs. Learn about the choices in the Relaxsit bean bag refill collection.
Can Bean Bag Refilling Services only be availed by Relaxsit Customers?
Some of the questions customers may ask are: Do customers have to buy a Relaxsit bean bag before they can buy refill material?
The public information provided on the Relaxsit website indicates that they sell the refill product, and there was no explicit restriction that the refill product can only be purchased for current Relaxsit customers. This means individuals with comparable bean bags from different brands could also consider the product.
This is not to be confused with a guarantee of compatibility, however. The filling, size and internal structure of various products may be different. Bean bags bought from elsewhere must be confirmed to be suitable by your customer before ordering.
It's also essential to differentiate between purchasing refill material and a professional refilling service. The website listing does not state clearly that Relaxsit is providing a refilling service for people's bean bags and that staff physically refill the bean bags. Customers can request this service, but they must proactively contact the company.
Selecting suitable quantity for refills
When it comes to choosing the right amount, you want to make sure you don't buy too little or too much filling as well. First, assess the condition of your bean bag and make an educated guess about the lost volume. If the small bean bag is slightly flat, it requires just a small amount of refilling. The size of the bean bag may need more, or if several family members use the same bean bag, you may need more.
Note: kg are used to measure weight, NOT the final filling volume. Depending on the product and the design of your bean bag, the size of the space you will use and the outcomes you'll get from using the bean bag can differ. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions and consult Relaxsit for recommendations if you are not sure of the amount of product required. This is the correct way to refill your bean bag.
It is easy to refill a compatible bean bag at home if the appropriate preparation of the area is done.
-
Step 1: Set up the work area. Select a dry location that is large enough to accommodate the filling in a safe manner. Keep children and pets away, as the small polystyrene beads are a choking hazard.
-
Step 2: Check the bean bag. Check stitching, zipper and inner liner. Fix any blemishes prior to additional filling.
-
Step 3: Gently open the filling compartment. Follow the bean bag manufacturer's directions, and have someone else hold the opening if needed.
-
Step 4: Add beads slowly. Slowly introduce the refill material to minimise the chance of spills. Don't overfill the bean bag; if it's too full, it may be uncomfortable or hard to close.
-
Step 5: Clasp and mould the bean bag. Be sure to close the compartment correctly and to spread out the beads. Test for comfort of sitting and adjust as needed.
Immediately clean up spilled beads and store filling securely after use.
Advantages to refilling over replacing
Refilling offers several practical benefits. It could be more cost-effective than purchasing a new bean bag, especially if the current cover is still in good condition. It also lets you retain familiar furniture with out altering the colour, style, or location in your home.
Another advantage is that it can extend the life of an old product. If a bean bag has lost “fullness”, you can top it off with more filling and continue to use it. However, it is not always a good idea to refill. If the cover is damaged, the zipper isn't working, or the inner liner has a tear, you may not be able to add beads until the cover is repaired or replaced.
