What is shredded foam?

Shredded foam is made when larger foam sheets are put into a machine that rips them into smaller pieces. Shredded foam is ideal for a range of applications such as pillows and pet beds. It is also very commonly used as filling for bean bag chairs. Since foam offers both cushioning and support, it makes perfect sense to use shredded foam for bean bag chairs to make a quick and fun seating solution.

How do you fill a foam bean bag?

When filling a bean bag chair using shredded foam, the size of the bean bag chair is a major factor. Once you have decided how much you need, filling the bean bag is fairly easy. You simply pour the shredded foam into the covering until you reach the desired fill. If you want the chair to be firmer, compact and add more foam.

What do you fill a bean bag chair with?

There are a few different options of shredded foam to use when you fill a foam sack. Conventional foam is the most common because it offers a soft, cushioned feel. Shredded memory foam is also becoming a desirable option in filling bean bag chairs. Shredded memory foam offers added comfort due to its ability to contour to the person using the foam sack.

Why do bean bags go flat?

Bean bags go flat due to the foam breaking down over time. Just like couch cushions, when you sit on the foam sack, your body weight naturally compresses the shredded foam. Although foam is made to spring back to shape, it will eventually need to be replaced to rejuvenate your bean bag.

How long do bean bags last?

The lifespan of bean bags can vary depending on the foam used. On average, bean bags last about 3-4 years. As long as the cover is still in good shape, it is never too late to replace the foam to give your bean bag new life.

Are bean bags toxic?

When filling a foam sack, you will want to make sure that you know a little bit about what you are filling it with. Shredded foam tends to be non-toxic; conventional and memory foams are usually considered safe options. If a foam is certified with CertiPur standards, it is safe to assume that the product is okay for this type of application.
