Where to Buy Bean Bag Filling in the USA
Where to Buy Bean Bag Filling in the USA
Your Belly Well has arrived — now you just need the beans.
The Belly Well is designed to be filled at home with standard EPS (expanded polystyrene) bean bag filling. Because filling is lightweight but incredibly bulky, your Belly Well arrives as a cover and inner liner, making it much easier and more economical to ship across the United States.
We know finding the right filling can feel like one more thing to organize, so we’ve done some of the searching for you.
Below you’ll find a selection of US suppliers and retailers where you can find bean bag filling for your Belly Well.
How much bean bag filling do I need?
For pregnancy use, we recommend approximately:
10.6–12.4 cubic feet
Approximately 300–350 liters
We recommend starting with around 10.6 cubic feet (300 L) and adding more if you prefer a slightly fuller or firmer feel.
The beauty of bean bag filling is that you can adjust it to suit you. A little less filling allows your Belly Well to mould and move around your body more easily, while adding more creates a firmer feel.
After pregnancy, the center well can be zipped closed to transform your Belly Well into a bean bag chair. If you prefer a fuller chair, you can add additional filling.
What type of filling should I buy?
Look for EPS (expanded polystyrene) bean bag filling.
You may see it listed as:
Bean bag filling
Bean bag refill
EPS beads
Polystyrene beads
Bean bag beans
When shopping, pay attention to the cubic feet of filling included, as package sizes can vary considerably between suppliers.

Before you order your filling
Always check the product description and quantity before purchasing.
For your Belly Well, you're looking for EPS expanded polystyrene filling, with approximately 10.6–12.4 cubic feet in total for pregnancy use.
Filling is sold in different package sizes, so you may need to purchase more than one bag to reach the recommended amount.
Availability, pricing, shipping and product sizes can change, so please check directly with the supplier before ordering.
Why doesn't my Belly Well arrive pre-filled?
There's a very simple reason: bean bag filling is mostly air.
Although EPS beans are incredibly lightweight, 10+ cubic feet of filling takes up a significant amount of shipping space.
Shipping your Belly Well unfilled allows us to send it to you compactly, while you source the lightweight filling within the US.
It keeps delivery simpler and means you can choose exactly how full you'd like your Belly Well to feel.
Our tip: order your beans before your Belly Well arrives
If your Belly Well is on its way, we recommend organizing your filling now.
That way, once your Belly Well arrives, you can fill it and start enjoying it straight away.
You'll need:
Approximately 10.6–12.4 cu ft of EPS bean bag filling
A paperclip for the safety zippers
A second person to help with filling, if possible
How to fill your Belly Well
Once you have your beans, you're almost there.
-
Attach a paperclip to the safety zipper and open your Belly Well cover.
-
Gently pull out the inner liner.
-
Open the inner liner using the safety zipper.
-
Use the filling chute to slowly add approximately 10.6 cu ft of beans to begin.
-
Securely close the inner liner.
-
Place the liner back inside your Belly Well cover.
-
Close the outer cover completely and remove the paperclip.
We recommend starting with approximately 10.6 cu ft rather than overfilling your Belly Well straight away. Try it first, then gradually add more filling if you'd like a firmer feel.
