Reasons Why Foam Fill is Better

Manufacturers of better bean bag chairs use urethane foam instead of polystyrene beans ("packing peanuts") for filler. Traditional furniture makers, when creating sofa cushions, have used urethane foam for decades. When urethane foam is used to fill bean bag chairs, the large chunks are cut down into smaller pieces.

The Fuf Chair by Comfort Research and the Jaxx Pillow Sac by FoamLabs are two good examples of better bean bag chairs. By using urethane foam fill, these better bean bag chairs provide:


  • a soothing cushion of foam that engulfs the bean bag chair occupant
  • substantial support for all members of the family, including adults
  • filler that can be “fluffed up” after use to provide individualized seating for the next person
  • a durable filler that will never break down, unlike polystyrene beans
  • fill that is quiet … there is no rustling noise when you change positions
  • no hard edges or pressure points, so it serves as comfortable seating for anyone with special needs.
So, when you are shopping for better bean bag chairs, be sure to look for a product that offers urethane foam fill. We are sure you will find it well worth the extra cost!
