Why The Eco Bean Cushion?
1. THE FIRST TRULY ‘GREEN’ BEAN CUSHION
2. COMPOSTABLE FILLING
BioFoam® is CO2 neutral, non-hazardous, hygienic, light-weight & durable. It’s the perfect environmentally friendly alternative to harmful styrofoam beads found in most other bean bags.
3. COTTON WEAVE OUTER FABRIC
The Big bean Company use a 100% cotton weave fabric, in neutral shades, that are made to the highest quality.
The bean cushions are soft, comfy, durable and hard wearing. The outer bag has been tested to over 26,000 rubs.
BioFoam® filling is conveniently held in an inner calico zipped bag, so the outer bag can be easily removed for washing.
4. MAKE OUR PRODUCTS YOUR PRODUCTS
We LOVE Spreading the environment-conscious message to the world. Earth day is everyday!
Plastic-free.
Polystyrene contains the toxic substances Styrene and Benzene, suspected carcinogens, and neurotoxins that are hazardous to humans. Some estimates put the lifespan of styrofoam in a landfill around 500 years, and some put it way beyond that.
Most bean bags are filled with a manmade material known as expanded polystyrene (EPS). EPS is a hard-celled plastic very similar to Styrofoam, which is extruded polystyrene.
Besides bean bag beads, EPS is used for disposable coffee cups and as cushioning material for packaging and shipping.

11. Is the fabric you use eco-friendly?
The fabrics used in our products are high quality cotton, and sourced in the UK. This is a better environmental choice to traditional bean bag fabrics, which often contain viscose or polyester. The cotton we choose is hard wearing – it’s been thoroughly tested to make sure that it stands up to life as a bean bag, and our customers appreciate that cotton is a more sustainable choice and less damaging than other man-made alternatives.
12. Does BioFoam® last or do your beanbags need refilling over time?
BioFoam® has many great properties, one of which is durability, so the need for top-ups will be low. However, we know that you’re going to spend a lot of time using your bean bag, so if you do need to top up the filling, we can provide you with a refill tube to use at home.
13. What chemicals are used in the fire retardant barrier interliner?
There are no chemicals used on the outer bag. It is important to us that no chemicals come in contact with the skin.
The only chemicals used on our product are on the fire retardant barrier interline which by law we have to use according to health and safety standards. The chemicals used on the inner bag as given to us by our suppliers are as follows:
“Composition/Data on Components: Chemical Characterisation: Flame retardant based on inorganic phosphorous and nitrogen compounds. Hazard Identification: None”
