Filling guide
Where to buy your beans
Your bean bag arrives as a cover, ready for you to fill with EPS (polystyrene) beans. There are two ways to get them. One costs less, the other saves you the trip.
Your two options
Cheapest or most convenient
Option 1 · Buy in store
Cheapest
Big W, Target, Kmart or Spotlight
About $12per 100L bag
- The lowest cost way to fill your bean bag
- You drive to the store and fit the bags in the car
Option 2 · Order with us
Most convenient
Fill Co beans from Throne Boss
From $46.25per 100L
- Add them to the same order as your bean bag
- Delivered free to 95% of Australia, straight from our partner Fill Co
- Longer lasting. The beans flatten 50% less than generic beans in Fill Co's compression tests, so you top up less often
- Easier to fill. Low-static beans pour cleanly from the paper bag
- Light, soft and lower odour, with less of that chemical smell
- Australian made from a fire-retardant grade in Fill Co's own factories
Recyclable packaging
The beans arrive sealed in a tough paper bag, inside a shipping box made in Australia from 100% recycled content and sealed with paper-based tape. Both the box and the bag go straight in your kerbside recycling bin, so the materials can be used to make more packaging.

Filling questions
Why doesn't it come filled?
A filled bean bag is bulky and expensive to post. Sending the cover means it ships fast and you only pay to post the cover. You fill it at home with EPS (polystyrene) beans from a local store, or add Fill Co beans to your Throne Boss order.
How do I fill it without beans going everywhere?
Fill it in a small room, or outside on a still day. Have someone hold the bag open while you pour slowly through the zip opening. The beans cling with static, so a vacuum or damp cloth is the easiest way to pick up strays. The full filling video above walks through it.
Do the beans settle? When should I top up?
Yes. EPS (polystyrene) beans compress with use, so over time the bag sits lower. When the high back starts to slump, add a fresh bag of beans to bring it back up.
Can I use shredded foam or old filling?
No. Use EPS (polystyrene) beans only. Shredded memory foam compresses and the high back collapses, and old filling has usually already flattened out.
What do I do with leftover beans?
Keep them sealed in their bag and store them. They're perfect for topping up when the beans settle.
I'm buying more than one. How much do I order?
Add up the litres from the table above. Two Adult bean bags need 700L, and an Adult bean bag plus footstool needs 400L.
Will my beans arrive with my bean bag?
No, they come in a separate delivery. Your bean bag ships from Throne Boss, and your beans ship from our partner Fill Co, free to 95% of Australia. Most bean orders arrive within 1 to 7 business days.
Can I put in less filling for a smaller kid?
The Jnr size is designed for kids and takes 200L. We recommend filling either size fully, because the beans are what holds the high back up.
