Congratulations on your brand-new bean bag! We know you're itching to jump right into a world of cosy comfort. But before you can dive in, let's get that bad boy filled up.
Now, some of our bean bags may come part-filled and in multiple boxes so don't panic if only one box arrives!
Unstructured Products
These instructions are for people who have bought one of our unstructured products, such as a Veeva Classic or an icon Kingston.
For a smoother setup, grab a friend!
1. Unknot & Divide: Person 1 undo the knot in the netting while ensuring they hold the end tightly. Then, lift the net of beans and divide the beans into two halves with the other hand.
2. Open & Fill: Person 2 flips the bean bag upside down and unzips both the outer and inner zips, pulling the inner fabric out to create a wide funnel opening. Person 1 then places the end of the bean filling net into the funnel, allowing the beans to flow in.
Tip: Continuously shake the bean bag while pouring in the beans to ensure even distribution of the filling.
3. Shake & Zip: When the net is empty, give the bean bag a final shake to move the beans around. Zip up both the inner and outer zips, flip your bean bag over, and finally, sit in it to plump out its shape and make sure the beans are distributed correctly.
4. Sink In & Enjoy! Now, the best part - take a seat and melt into complete comfort.

Structured Products
These instructions are for people who have bought one of our structured products, such as an armchair or lounger.
For a smoother setup, grab a friend!
1. Unknot & Divide: Person 1 undo the knot in the netting while ensuring they hold the end tightly. Then, lift the net of beans and divide the beans into two halves with the other hand.
2. Open & Fill: Person 2 flips the bean bag upside down and unzips both the outer and inner zips, pulling the inner fabric out to create a wide funnel opening. Person 1 then places the end of the bean filling net into the funnel, allowing the beans to flow in.
3. Close & Shake: Once halfway through filling, close both zips securely. Give the bean bag a shake to evenly distribute the beans inside. This will prevent the funnel from becoming too full and ensure that the beans are spread evenly around the bean bag. Then, repeat step 2.
4. Shake & Zip: When the net is empty, give the bean bag a final shake to move the beans around. Zip up both the inner and outer zips, flip your bean bag over, and finally, sit in it to plump out its shape and make sure the beans are distributed correctly.

Modular Sofa
These instructions are for people who have bought one of our modular sofa sets, such as the icon Tetra. Here is how to fill each modular piece:
1. Unknot & Divide: One person should undo the knot in the netting while ensuring they hold the end tightly. Then, lift the net of beans and divide the beans into two halves with the other hand.
2. Open & Fill: The second person flips the bean bag upside down and unzips both the outer and inner zips, pulling the inner fabric out to create a wide funnel opening. The person with the filling then places the end of the net into the funnel, allowing the first lot of beans to flow in.
* Tip: While pouring the beans in, gently shake the bean bag to distribute them evenly *
3. Shake & Zip: When the net is empty, give the bean bag a final shake to move the beans around. Zip up both the inner and outer zips, flip your bean bag over, and finally, sit in it to plump out its shape and make sure the beans are distributed correctly.
5. Arrange & Sit: After the filling process, arrange each modular piece as desired and give them a shake whenever they need a plump-up.

Customised Comfort
When filling your bean bag, you can add as much or as little filling as you want to achieve the perfect level of plushness. Obviously, the more filling, the firmer the bean bag. But if you want our recommendation for maximum comfort and fullness, go ahead and add all the beans in the net. Trust us, it'll feel like sitting on a squishy cloud!
Future Fill-ups
Over time, your bean bag may start to lose its fluff and plumpness, depending on how much you use it. Don't fret, it's perfectly normal. That just means it's time for a refill! Grab some fresh bead from our refill page and fill it up to regain that perfect support and sink-in softness. It'll be like your bean bag just came out of the box all over again. Visit our bean bag refills page to order some extra filling for your beloved bean bag.
With your bean bag filled to the brim with comfort, there's only one thing left to do – let the relaxation begin! Get ready to kick back, relax, and embrace beanbag bliss.
