Bean Bag Beans -- The Stuff that Gives Bean Bags the Fluff

68

By Reg Brittain

The thing about bean bag beans is they give a bean bag a consistent "cush", but (just like anything else) they wear out over time. This is why replacement bean bag beans are important. If you are a person with a dilapidated bean bag chair -- and assuming you want to change that situation -- then buying bean bag beans may just be the thing for you to do. I recall when I was a kid and my bean bag chair lost its fluff a couple times. My dad brought me packing peanuts to compensate for my squished beans -- this was the best way for him to come up with cheap bean bag beans (because the peanuts came from packages that had been mailed, and were thus free). These so-called peanuts were a sufficient substitute for bean bag beans -- and it was a form of recycling, as Styrofoam peanuts will not break down in a landfill. (Might as well "hide" them in a bean bag chair, right!) The point here is you can choose to buy new bean bag beans, or you can come up with something of an alternative.

The choice -- as they say -- is yours.

As you seek to buy bean bag beans, keep in mind there are a couple different options for you to go with -- if we are talking about replacement polystyrene "beans". You can buy beans made expressly for bean bag fill -- which means your beans will be brand new and brought into existence solely for the purpose of filling bean bags. What is important here to note is that while these will be new bean bag beans, perhaps the making and selling and buying of new beans for bean bags is unnecessary. After all, the little things are not biodegradable.

Alternatively, you can get beans that were cut from polystyrene made for other purposes -- like use as packing material. This makes use of polystyrene that was already something else -- and reusing is cool, even if polystyrene is not so cool.

Finally, as you seek bean bag beans for sale, consider an even better alternative than above. You may know that you can buy pillows filled with buckwheat hulls. Why not seek buckwheat fill to use in your bean bag? Obviously, buckwheat is totally biodegradable, and you may find it quite comfortable in a bean bag. (I would prefer it in a bean bag rather than a pillow, for what it is worth.)
