Default Bean Bags

My Mum has a huge bean bag that she'd like to get recovered and some more stuffing to make it stronger. Does anyone know of any where that she can get this done. Thanks for taking the time to read this thread.
Regards Linn

Hi Linn
Have you tried any of the shops that sells fabric, they sell the stuffing for the bean bags. My mum made one for my bro a while back and she used the original bag as a template and just put the old bag inside the new one and used a zip so that it could be washed when needed.

There used to be a stall in the Georges Steet arcade in Dublin that used to do all bean bags patterns and filling.
you can also reuse styrofoam packaging as it breaks down into tiny bubble pieces .
Very time consuming and monotonous but free!

Default Bean Bags

Our local Community Workshop does beanbags, re-fills and new ones to order and they are very reasonable in price, last time i remember. Of course i'm in Wexford but ask around, surely there's a day centre near you where you can find out information. Best of luck.

Some of these places, make beanbags, or could help you? Worth a phone call maybe! All the best, and Happy New Year to all.

Only came across this thread now. Have you tried www.beanybags.com ? I think they're based in Ireland. I actually came on here looking for more information on them as im interested in buying one of their products, has anyone dealt with them before? They sell beanbags 1800×1400mm for €99 incl delivery, is this a good price?
