8 Things to Consider When Choosing a Bean Bag (Australia Guide)

8 Things to Consider When Choosing a Bean Bag (Australia Guide)

A bean bag should suit the user, the space and the way it will be cared for. Use this Australian buyer’s checklist before you order.

1. Intended use

Decide whether it will be used mainly indoors, on a covered patio, beside a pool or moved between spaces. Outdoor-rated fabric still benefits from shade, cleaning and dry storage during prolonged wet weather.

2. Size and clearance

Compare the listed dimensions with your available floor area and allow room for the filled bag to spread. Keep walkways, doors and pool access clear.

3. Fabric performance

Look for clearly stated properties rather than vague “all-weather” promises. Lazy Beanz uses Warwick outdoor fabrics selected for UV, water, mould and mildew resistance.

4. Construction

Check the seams, zip components, fabric construction and secure filling access. Lazy Beanz products are cut and sewn in Rothwell with marine-grade zips and reinforced stitching.

5. Filling

Our covers are unfilled. Check the recommended EPS volume, source filling locally and add it gradually to avoid overfilling.

6. Safety

Bean bags and covers with accessible filling must have the required warning and child-resistant closure. Keep filling away from children, inspect the product for damage and never use a bean bag as a sleep surface for an infant.

7. Cleaning and storage

Follow the care instructions for the exact fabric. Treat spills promptly, avoid saturating the filling, dry fully and store under cover when not in use for long periods.

8. Origin, delivery and support

Ask where the product is actually made, what is included and how long dispatch will take. Lazy Beanz active products are cut and sewn in Rothwell. In-stock variants usually dispatch in 1–3 business days; made-to-order and back-order variants generally take 2–4 weeks. Unfilled covers ship Australia-wide, and New Zealand freight is by quote.
