Why Traditional Bean Bags Have Plastic – And Why Eco-Friendly Is the Way Forward! 🌱
If you've ever relaxed in a cozy bean bag, you might not have thought about what’s inside. Most traditional bean bags are filled with expanded polystyrene (EPS), a type of plastic similar to Styrofoam. While lightweight and comfortable, EPS is made from petroleum-based materials, making it a major environmental concern. These plastic beads are non-biodegradable and can sit in landfills for hundreds or even thousands of years, contributing to long-lasting plastic waste.
A more eco-friendly solution is bean bags filled with natural, plant-based materials like BioFoam®, which is biodegradable and compostable. BioFoam® is made from renewable plant sources, offering the same comfort and support as plastic alternatives, but without the environmental harm. Choosing products like this helps reduce plastic waste, as the filling naturally breaks down over time, and it's often made from recycled materials, free from harmful chemicals.

Care and Cleaning
For light stains on the outer cover, simply spot clean with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry. For more stubborn stains, you'll need to remove the outer cover for a deeper clean.
The Big beanbag Company products are made from natural fabrics. It is recommended to wash the cover on a delicate cycle at a maximum temperature of 30°C, using a non-bio or gentle detergent to preserve the fabric's quality and softness.
Useful Tips
Keep Away from Direct Sunlight: To prevent natural bleaching of colors, avoid exposing the fabric to direct sunlight for extended periods.
Restore Shape After Use: After sitting, it’s a good idea to pick up your bean bag and lightly shake it. This helps the filling and fabric return to their original shape and ensures optimal comfort.
Natural Cotton Bobbling: As the outer cover is made from 100% cotton, some bobbling may occur due to the natural fibres. This is completely normal! Simply use a lint remover on the affected areas to restore a smooth appearance. This won’t cause any damage to the product and will help it look as good as new.
Handle Loose Threads with Care: If you notice any loose threads, it is recommended to carefully cut them with scissors rather than pulling, as pulling can damage the fabric.

Why Plastic-Free Matters
Polystyrene, the material often used to fill traditional beanbags, contains harmful chemicals like styrene and benzene. These substances are linked to serious health risks, including hormonal disruption and damage to the nervous system. But that’s not all—polystyrene can take hundreds of years to break down in landfills, causing long-term harm to our environment.
Most beanbags are filled with expanded polystyrene (EPS), a type of plastic that’s similar to Styrofoam. You’ll find it in things like disposable coffee cups and packaging materials. While it serves a purpose in these products, EPS is not the best choice for the planet. Its chemical risks and environmental impact make it a less sustainable option for your home.
