The volume of padding depends on the size of the bean bag chair. A chair for an adult may require from 250 to 350 liters. It is better to purchase 400 liters of polystyrene foam.

Frameless furniture is an oasis of comfort, a place to read and a place to take a nap. It's also an inexpensive option that's easy to make yourself.
The first bean bag chair in the style of Italian modernism appeared in the 70s. It was designed by three designers: Piero Gatti, Cesare Paolini and Franco Teodoro. The model was released on an industrial scale. But this was not at all the “firstborn” of the “amorphous” chair in Italian history. A less successful predecessor was called "Impact", its disadvantage was that it did not retain its shape.
Forward to a better life
The DIY bean bag chair has quickly become the preferred place to relax in the home, office and even on the street. Today there are hundreds of varieties of this furniture, from bags to sofas, made from printed materials, fabrics, with many designs. Since the models are so versatile, it's easy to see why so many people prefer to relax on a beanbag rather than a hard chair.
Let's look at how the chair changes the lives of its owners:
Fills the corner of the room
Is there an empty corner in your home that's just screaming for attention? This is the ideal location for a frameless model. It can be neatly installed directly there, taking up minimal floor space, which is valuable in small room. When guests arrive, the chair is pulled out of the corner, it is not difficult to move it.
Balances perception
There are many straight lines in the space of the room. They are created by electronics, shelving, tables, carpets and even windows. According to practice, it is necessary to balance round and straight lines in the house. Bean bag chairs can complement and “soften” any room. Frameless models will be what you need to create a positive, attractive and comfortable environment.
Gives a relaxing effect
The chairs are suitable for children because they are soft. There is no reason to worry that the child will be harmed. The models create a feeling of comfort and allow the body to relax when a person plays video games or watches TV. Pets often use the bags as bedding, which is useful for older pets with joint problems.
Helps with work
Modern style life has abolished the stuffy, overbearing atmosphere, turning it into a relaxing, creative environment, furniture follows the trend. The beanbag chair promotes ease and creativity.
Good for the health
Some people are under the impression that a firm, straight chair is better for the back, but this is far from the truth. When a person sits on a frameless chair, it shapes the body, which allows it to support bones, muscles and joints, giving the opportunity to rest.
No matter how someone sits or how many times they move, the chair continues to move with their body.
Attention! For pain in the spine, a chair bag is a necessity. It will cost less than expensive designer furniture.
Three advantages against three disadvantages
Advantages
— Seat covers are replaced and washed;
— The chair shapes the interior and will become a child’s favorite toy: children love to jump and fall;
— The furniture is safe, without sharp corners, environmentally friendly.
Flaws
— The filler loses its shape over time;
— Furniture needs periodic maintenance if it is often moved from place to place;
— The filler is sometimes dangerous for a small child.
Types of fillers
So, if you need to sew a bag for a chair, what should you fill it with? Which “filling” is best?
- Most models are filled with an artificial material known as polystyrene foam. It is a carbide, lightweight, rigid plastic that retains its shape. This filler practically consists of air. Peas have a diameter of 3 mm to 5 mm, they are resistant to moisture and heat.
The material is reused and recycled. - Polypropylene is another polymer that is used to fill chairs and is popular in Asia. Peas made from this material have several advantages over other fillers. They are strong, durable, elastic, and when crushed or bent, they quickly return to their original shape and size, which means that the polymer does not lose its shock-absorbing properties after compression. These peas are stronger than polypropylene balls and do not have such a strong smell. The problem is susceptibility to fire and combustion.
- One of the newer polymers used to stuff bean bag chair covers is compressed polyurethane foam.
This is a type of polyurethane that is obtained in a special way to increase its density and viscosity. The material was invented in 1966 for NASA, and now it is a progressive filler for pillows and mattresses.
Chair bags with this “stuffing” are easy to transport because they can be compressed to about a quarter size for transport. But because the foam pieces are large and irregular, some people don't like their texture. The material is best used in combination with leather, which holds its shape well. - In the West, bean bag chairs are often called “bean bags.” They got their name for a reason. At one time, canvas bags filled with dried beans or other grains such as rice or corn replaced furniture. IN last years Eco-friendly filling has seen a resurgence in popularity. When deciding what to fill a chair bag with, some people make sure that the materials are natural. A light and natural filler is buckwheat husk. It forms a solid body. There is another category of non-artificial “filling” - sand and small pebbles, they are used in combination with elastic fabric.
- What else can I fill the chair bag with? Craftsmen use any available materials to form the shape, from wood shavings to threads, and some models of frameless furniture simultaneously serve as a kind of closet for things.
How to make an “amorphous” chair
Before creating a beanbag chair, pay attention to some points:
- It is important that the model has an additional internal housing. If the outer case is worn off, the filler will remain in the inner case.
- A zipper or Velcro will make the chair practical.
Before work, determine the diameter of your furniture. The final appearance of the model depends entirely on taste and creative intent. Some people like chairs that are the size of a regular chair, others want to achieve the effect of excess fabric. The average width of the model is about 80 centimeters.
Fabric selection
“Amorphous” models are made from a variety of durable fabrics, including leather, suede, corduroy and faux fur. Chair bags made of polyester fabric are waterproof and can be used on outdoors.
Advice. Chairs should last a long time and withstand any load, so choose strong and soft fabrics, avoid using materials that are easily torn.
Don't forget that there are washable fabrics that allow you to easily clean the cover if necessary.
The chair bag does not have to be the same color. Use various materials for side details, choose interesting patterns or alternating textures.
What you need to prepare:
- durable fabric
- sewing machine or glue gun,
- scissors,
- polystyrene filler,
- pencil,
- measuring tape.
When using the simplest pattern, to determine the size of a piece of fabric, add 10 centimeters to the total width of the furniture. For example, suppose the diameter of a chair made of two circles is 75 cm, without seam allowance you will need 150 cm of fabric. 10 cm is added to this length, the result is 160 cm. Thus, they buy either two separate pieces of fabric, 80 cm wide and long, or one solid piece, measuring 80X160 cm. If one solid piece of fabric is purchased, it is cut in half using scissors, so that there are exactly two squares from which the circles are cut.
The parts are cut out according to the pattern and joined together using a sewing machine or glue gun.
Inside the bean bag chair, as many already know, there are polystyrene foam granules. Everyone also knows that during use, a bean bag chair decreases in size. This natural process, let's understand its nature.
The polystyrene ball itself consists of more than 90% air, which is trapped in miniature pores inside. Even the highest quality filler has the property of accumulating “residual deformations”. When the balls are stressed, for example when you sit in a chair, the pores near the surface burst. As a result of constant loads, the diameter of the ball decreases, and as a result, the total volume of filler in the bean bag also becomes smaller.
6-12 months
average time until chair shrinks
Here are the main factors that influence the intensity of the “shrinkage” of the filler in frameless furniture:
1. Load (the greater the weight, the greater the deformation)
2. Duration of the load (we sit longer - it “sits down” faster)
It turns out that we can combine both of these terms into one - “intensity of use”. You shouldn’t be upset about this, this is a natural process, like, for example, the need to periodically add engine oil to a car engine. Filler is a kind of consumable element of frameless furniture. To fill the chairs, we use first-class certified raw materials, which guarantees you unsurpassed quality and comfort of the chair.
Is it possible to ensure that the filling in a bean bag chair does not wrinkle over time?
Yes, we have a special filler that practically crumples. This is high-density polystyrene foam, such as is used to fill the iQDesk series tables. What makes it special? It's simple, it is 3 times denser than standard filler. Physics lovers will immediately understand reverse side such an “unbreakable” filler for a frameless chair! A chair with 50-density granules is 3 times (!) heavier than a regular one.The convenient zippered bag can be used with the proprietary EyasRefill seat refill tube. The bag is also convenient because you don’t need to pour out all the balls at once: you add the required amount and close the bag - it’s very simple!
