What is the fabric of the Original bean bag chair?

How is the Original bean bag filled?

Can I adjust the filling of my Original bean bag?
Yes, absolutely! While the standard filling is designed to suit most users, we understand that personal preferences vary. If you prefer a firmer bean bag, you can add more filling. Conversely, if you enjoy a softer, more relaxed feel, you can remove some of the filling.
Is sitting on a bean bag chair healthy?
Our bean bags help prevent and reduce back pain and tension by improving poor posture and providing you with the support your muscles and joints need to realign themselves. They also adapt to any body shape, weight, size or height, so you can sit in comfort and relax, all the while providing your back with the care it requires.
What material is the Original made of inside?
All our bean bags are filled with small EPS beads. Don't put your Original against a heat source, near a fireplace or on top of underfloor heating. The filling can't handle that.
