Why Do Bean Bags Lose Their Shape?
Before we look at how to fix a sagging beanbag, it is important to understand why it happens. Inside your rucomfy bean bag are thousands of tiny, perfectly round EPS beads. These beads contain mostly air, which allows them to mould perfectly to your body. Over time, with frequent sitting, jumping, and relaxing, the air inside these beads compresses. This natural compression is why your once-plump chair might start to feel a little flat.
Step-by-Step: Best Way to Plump a Beanbag
Keeping your beanbag chair looking brand new requires just a little bit of routine maintenance. Follow these simple steps to restore your bean bag's shape:
- The Daily Shake-Up: Just like plumping your sofa cushions or bed pillows, give your bean bag a vigorous shake after use. Grab it by the corners and toss it around to redistribute the EPS bead filling evenly.
- Keep It Dry: Moisture can cause beanbag filling to clump together. Keep indoor bean bags away from damp areas, and always ensure outdoor bean bags are fully dry before storing them.
- The Top-Up Method: The absolute best way to fix a flat bean bag is to add fresh polystyrene beads. Mixing new, uncompressed beads with your existing filling instantly restores the volume and ergonomic support.
