How on earth do you refill your bean bag chair? It seems almost impossible to consider how to contain the polystyrene beads. They redefine static cling, fly everywhere with little incentive and resist containment as if they had a mind of their own. How do you open the zipper of the super safe bean bag chair you purchased - they are designed to stay closed, not to open! Follow these simple steps and you will have a full, comfy bean bag chair once again.
1. Ideal Filling Conditions
Bean Bags Chair
Set yourself up inside in an area that has no breeze. Any airflow will cause the polystyrene beads to fly everywhere you do not want them to be. Find someone to help you as four hands are better than two when it comes to filling bean bag chairs.
2. Opening the Zipper
If you have a double locking zipper or if it is enfolded within a seam, uncover it enough to be able to slide a paper clip into the pull tab. This will allow you to pull the zipper back and get access to the center. If there is a little "lock" on the zipper, take a pair of pliers and pry the lock off. You can then unzip the zipper. You will have to use pliers to reapply the lock afterwards to ensure your bean bag chair zipper stays closed and is safe for use.
Your chair may come with a liner so opening the first layer is no problem. If your chair does not have a liner, do not open it until you are right ready to add the fill or disaster will strike.
3. Strategy
When you are completely ready, take your bag of refill, still sealed and have your helper hang on to it nearby. Open the zipper on your bean bag chair and slowly open it up. Be very careful and moving slowly, hold open the bean bag chair so your helper can gently place the bag of refill into the opening. Open the bag of filler and slowly add its contents to the bean bag chair. By placing the bag of filler directly into the bean bag chair you contain the beads so they are not flying everywhere as they are wont to do.
Working together with your partner, empty the bag of filler into the bean bag chair. It is not necessary to remove the old fill; it will mix in with the new and provide great comfort. Depending on the amount of fill you have and the size of your bean bag chair you may or may not have to add it all. Add enough fill so that your bean bag chair is firm but not solid. Everyone has their personal preference for how soft or firm they prefer for their bean bag chair so adjust as necessary.
Once the fill is added re-zip the zipper, ensure it is locked and you are done. You now have a refilled chair! The only thing left to do is to try and round up those pesky little beads that escaped during the filling process. Good luck!
