Types of Beads
EPS Beads
Polystyrene regrind, sourced from EPS packaging and characterized by its white color, consists of mixed particles varying from very small up to 8-10 mm. It is well-suited for all the aforementioned applications, being more static and lighter per cubic meter than EPP beads. Each 250-litre bag weighs between 3-5 kg, with varying densities. It is the only viable choice for pool pillows, providing a lightweight solution. Additionally, it serves effectively as a medium for water filtration.
EPP Beads
Polypropylene regrind, recycled from EPP packaging and available in a pink hue, also features mixed particles from very small to 8-10 mm. This material is suitable for various applications, including flotation, although EPS is the preferred option. It offers less static than EPS while being more rubbery and heavier per cubic meter, with each 250-litre bag weighing 4-5 kg.
Virgin Material
Virgin material, which is not recycled, consists of perfectly round white balls ranging from 2-10 mm in size. This product is ideal for all applications, boasting consistent, perfectly round spheres with a weight of approximately +/- 4 kg per 250-litre bag. It provides a superior feel for specialty bean bags, though it is more static than EPP.
Memory Foam Chips
Memory foam is heavier than polystyrene beads, so beanbags will be denser and may require periodic fluffing.
A breathable inner liner is recommended to allow air circulation and maintain comfort

FAQ
How much do I need?
(We can maybe get a link to an online calculator to gauge cylindrical m3)
Not all bean bags are standard, therefore difficult to gauge volume, you normally do not fill a beanbag 100%, more 80% to have a comfortable feel. Normally, a standard size bean bag would require 1x 250ltr bag of beads.
