We need a postcode checker because Australia is geographically a huge place, and beads are a massive volume package to freight. It’s simply not cost viable to send to most places in Australia. Ambient Lounge are the only company in Australia that manufactures beads in every state (except ACT), so we can deliver economically within the metro postcode areas of those locations. We can deliver to all Tasmania because it is a small geographic location and parts of the gold Coast and Sunshine coast because of the close proximity to Brisbane. We do not make any money on delivery. Beanbagfilling.com.au supply our customer at cost through our excellent carrier ANC. We are very sorry if your residence or business falls outside those zones, however in some circumstances there are possibilities of bean bag filling delivery. You can call us on 1300 707 121 to discuss your case and we can get you a quote. Alternatively, on rare occasions we can arrange a pick up from depot. We suggest (if you fall outside the zones) that delivering to a friend or business within the zones is often a preferred option. However, please remember the package is large and not easily stored. Our smaller and higher quality beads are brilliant for use in any bean bag cover, regardless of the brand. Beanbagfilling.com.au beads are 100% compatible with any bean bag, whether that was bought from mass merchants such as Kmart, Target, Spotlight, Big W or specialist retailers such as King Kahuna, PiMP or Ambient Lounge. However, the patented “zip & tip” easy fill system that comes with the beads are currently only compatible with Ambient Lounge and PiMP branded bean bags. This means that for other branded bean bags you will not be able to join the funnel via the zip – and therefore you will need to be careful when filling your beanbag. The funnel itself however, is still an easier (and less messier) method of filling and storing than other bean bag filling manufacturer who store in plastic bags only. You also have the funnelweb bag and transport bag to store spare beads that are excellent for topping up when your bean bag inevitably sags a little. Other branded Beanbags filling instructions: We recommend that if you don’t have “zip and Tip” compatible Ambient Lounge or PiMP beanbags then you get one other person to help you fill the bean bag. Filling Directions: grip the open funnel of the funnelweb and place inside the bean bag opening. Have the other person hold open the bean bag cover zip area. Slowly release your grip on the open Funnelweb funnel area and tip carefully using gravity for the beads to fill. Make sure the moth of the funnel is deep enough inside the bean bag cover so that beads are not spilling easily out the sides. When bean bag is full, grip the funnel tight and remove from the opening of the bean bag cover. Re-seal the Funnelweb bag if there are contents left and store safely. We only make Smaller, Higher Quality Micro-Sized Polystyrene Beads. Smaller beads are more dense and do not compress as much – reducing the “bean bag sag” affect. For bean bags with shape such as chairs and sofas, this is critical to maintaining a high quality bean bags. Smaller beads noise reduction when moving (less of that scrunch sound affect) & more blissful comfort. Our bean bags beans were featured on Channel 9’s TV show “The Block” and host Scotty Carne was quoted saying “designer bean bags need designer beans”. It is often underestimated how important filling is to the overall comfort and performance of your bean bag. Sitting is truly believing. Bean bag beans, like plastics or polystyrene packaging, are a petroleum based product which are not considered to be easily biodegradable or particularly eco-friendly. However, we at beanbag filling.com.au in conjunction with Ambient Lounge are very environmentally conscious and have pledged to manufacture beads with a % of recycled materials. This includes recycled packaging and beads themselves that are re-processed through our high tech facilities. Yes, we use commercial grade beads treated with fire retardency. This means when exposed to open flames they do not burn, but they shrivel. This is a much safer filling especially when bean bags are placed near fireplaces or heaters Like anything, it’s important to know what you are buying and how it stacks up in price and value. We welcome comparison. Our 300lt bags of beads are at least 3 times larger in overall volume than those packages bought at mass merchants. We are the only merchant that offers them in that more practical size. 300lt and 150lt are better sizes for convenience of one-time filling, which in turn is enhanced by a patented mesh nylon “zip & tip” Funnelweb bag (worth $20) plus a re-usable high quality Transport Bag. We are shipping huge packages that are costly to freight. Therefore, a large part of this cost is the freight and handling, which we have included in the overall price. Home delivery is for convenience and you do not have to spend your petrol money and time going to store to collect and lug around awkward packages of bead filling. Most importantly, our beads are smaller and superior quality. When you do the math – you will realise that beanbagfilling.com.au and Ambient Lounge filling offers a better quality product and solution to filling your bean bag at a value price.

Beanbagfilling.com.au offer a statutory 1 year warranty against faulty goods or defects. For clarification on what constitutes a defect or fault, please give us a call on 1300 707 121 Please note that polystyrene beads do compress (ours less so that others on the market) . Over time beads do compress to a point that requires some re-fill. Please understand that this is normal (not a defect) and therefore cannot be a part of warranty. Polystyrene beads are made with air pockets, which give the “bouncy” effect of elasticity and comfort. Therefore over time and with constant use (from your body weight) the polystyrene loses some of its rebound memory. This is what constitutes the compression that you know as “bean bag sag”. Because Ambient Lounge bean bag beads are smaller and denser, the sag is lessened – meaning you need less qty for topping up your bean bag to look and feel like new. Due to variable factors such as use, body weight, fabric it is hard to put an exact figure on the rate of compression. Old style “shapeless” bean bags are less noticeable than chairs or bean bags with form. Therefore it’s always more important to use higher quality beads in these type of bean bags. Bean bags generally need topping up only once or twice when the polystyrene inside has compressed to the maximum. This is likely after around 6 months use. Followed by a further 6 months. It’s handy to store a top up funnlweb bag of beads in the attic or shed for when that time arrives. For more information, please call us on 1300 707 121.
