1. Bean Bag Material

Back then, traditional bean bags or those that are full of polysterene beads were the trend. Polystyrene is that material that is the same as your styrofoams cups or those that protect electronic appliances in shipping. Technology gave birth to more comfy modern foam bean bags. These modern bean bag chairs come with polyurethane foam filling instead of the polystyrene that traditional bean bags are made of. Polyurethane foam is found in mattresses and foam pillows.
