Big Joe Bean Refill, Polystyrene Beans for Bean Bags or Crafts, 75 Liters

If you cut the corner off the bag, you will have a gigantic, static electricity mess. We got three bags for Christmas, and they weren't full enough, so I had to order this refill. We topped off all three, VERY CAREFULLY and with a paper towel roll taped to the end (and it was still a bit of a challenge). We had the vacuum out, ready to clean up what got away from us.I recommend really pushing the filling down to the top of the chair (opposite the zipper), and working with a partner to gently wiggle the filling down as you fill it. Occasionally zip it up and work the filling down, away from the zipper even more, then unzip and continue to fill. Also, no need to unzip all the way at first, but as it gets fuller, it's easier to work the filling down with the zipper all the way open. Just be careful!The chairs look great now, as they should've looked initially when we bought them not too long ago (after photo included).

The bag is really a lot. It is enough for two kid size bean bags (50 liters each) or even more if you are just refilling. You need two people to fill it when it is mostly full- so the pieces shouldn't fall out. It was easier to clean up than I thought-you just need a vacuum cleaner for the stray leftover pieces, I was even able to scoop up some with my hands. It would be nice if it would come with a large size funnel since without it you have to pour from the bag a bit further away otherwise it spills over.

Don’t listen to the reviews about it being “really messy” they’re exaggerating unless you have super shaky hands or a fan blowing your direction. Just open the bean bag alittle bit and cut a corner of the purchased item and dump it while it’s inside the bean bag and you’ll be fine. UNFORTUNATELY since I bought a 6ft bean bag, I already spent over $300 just to fill it and I think $200 dollars more of this would be enough for the 6ft bean bag.

The product works well but, there are a couple things that you should know. 1. If you are filling a large bean bang or something similar be prepared for a messy cleanup. The balls get everywhere very quickly and very easily. 2. The balls get staticity easily and, it makes them difficult to handle and they want to stick to many different surfaces. 3. I wish the bag came with some sort of funnel or pouring aid to make transferring the little balls a lot easier.

The media could not be loaded. For reference of amount you may need, I bought 2 Big Joe bean bag chairs off Marketplace and they were about half way full with the backs not having any beans at all. I decided to purchase just one 100 liter bag of replacement beans to see if it would be enough to fill both. I took the advice from another review and used the soup can and masking/duck tape method to transfer the beans and it worked fabulous! I thought it might take a while to set it up as opposed to just pouring them in but it took no time at all and I literally had maybe 20 beans to vacuum in the end even with transferring the can from one chair to the next. After pushing beans up into the back, while sitting in it, it did a pretty good job so I'm fine with the amount. They probably could have taken100 liters each without being too firm, as some have mentioned when you over fill them.

Worked great

This product is great for filling up your beanbags! And creates a nice spot for comfort. However, no matter what you do, there is just no way you're going to avoid getting it on the floor. The bag holds static so as you're trying to get the beads out, they tend to float around and some of them fall out. It's not enough to be exaggerated, but it will make a mess and you will have to sweep up when you're done. Which also isn't fun to do. If I were to rate this 0-10 i would give it a 4 personally. But the overall comfort that the kids get out of it brings it up to at least an 8. And it's worth buying.

So cheap and so good.
