Because good furniture is good all the way through.
Use them with intent
Indoor
Of course!
Outdoor – yes, with care
With a little understanding and care, our amazing customers have been using Envee beans in outdoor bean bags for many years.
All you need to remember is that Envee beans love shade. For example, outdoor in the shade on a 45°C day = no problem at all! If they get wet, no problem either.
Being plant-based, they just don't love the high heat that can occur inside a bean bag cover left in the direct sun. If using in the sun, bring your bean bag back into the shade after you have finished sitting in it.
For applications where you need or want to leave your bean bags out in the direct sun for extended periods unattended, we recommend checking out our White or Black bean products.
If you are unsure or just want to check before you buy, contact us!
Pools – yes, with care
Envee beans have been used in indoor and outdoor pools in Australia for many years. They have no problem getting wet or with the common chemicals used in the water.
For outdoor pool use, please read the outdoor notes above for guidance.
For all cases, do not dry Envee beans in the direct sun, which may lead to excessive heat.

Delivered to your door.
Zero hassle.
We care about the details too
Ordering & selecting litres
Always select the total quantity of beans you need using the dropdown menu at the top of the page. If you have two bean bags needing 250L each then order 500L. Both will arrive identically and 500L is cheaper than 2 x 250L!
Packaging & sizes
We package our beans carefully to avoid spills during transit. All our packaging is paper-based, made from renewable resources and plastic-free. Please reuse it wherever you can or dispose of it responsibly in your kerbside recycling bin.
We offer our beans in multiples of 100 litre bags and 50 litre bags, so that you can fill your bean bag perfectly. If your bag maker recommends 250 litres, we wanted you to be able to match it exactly without any waste.
Delivery & dispatch
We dispatch orders every weekday. Weekend and public holiday orders are dispatched on the next business day.
9 in every 10 of our customers get free delivery. Most orders are delivered within 1 to 7 business days. Tracking numbers will be emailed as soon as your order leaves.
Due to size, all beans are delivered with an automatic Authority to Leave (ATL) at your delivery address. For the same reason, we cannot deliver to PO boxes or parcel lockers. Need other options? Please just contact us before ordering!
Safety & care
At Fill Co, we take the safety of our products seriously. One example is our innovative paper packaging system designed specifically to reduce punctures, spills into the environment and make opening more purposeful.
In Australia, bean bags have the following mandatory warning label:
WARNING: Children can suffocate if bean bag filling is swallowed or inhaled. Do not let children climb inside this bean bag. A bean bag is not a safe sleeping surface for an infant under 12 months of age.
You will also notice that bean bag covers in Australia have a safety zipper with the zip tag removed so that a tool is required to open them.
If, for some reason, your cover does not have a safety zipper with the tag removed, we recommend taking immediate action to ensure children are not able to open the cover.

Our Customer Reviews
I was making a new, larger bean bag for my 8 year old grandson & decided that I was not prepared to use the old type of beans again. On arrival, the presentation of the beans was pristine in their beautifully stitched bags & environmentally-friendly packaging - it seemed a shame to open them. I was very pleased that not a single bean was spilt when I transferred them into the lining as it was so easy to pour them from the bag provided. Very happy with my purchase & my grandson loves his bean bag. Thank you, Envee beans
Love my new envee beanbag!
Shapes perfectly to any body who is using it from the littlest person to the biggest person.
Whether watching tv, on the iPad or reading, everyone in our family tries to grab it first!
I was so excited to have outdoor bean bags for our coast house but felt very guilty about non-eco friendly beans. Was so happy to find Envee and when I ordered, Hamish actually called to check I hadn’t doubled up. I was worried about delivery but it was speedy and smooth, even though it was right before Christmas. Thoroughly recommend this company, Hamish was so friendly and helpful, it was a delight to engage with them. I love the way the bean bags feel and NO PLASTIC waste at all!!!!👏👏👏
I couldn’t recommend Envee Beans enough you feel so good knowing they are better for the environment using a sustainable product but the ease of use they literally just plop into the bag filling the bean bag or lounger like a dream. Probably the most satisfying Bean bag fill I’ve ever used. 100% worth the choice in every way. Also the team provide wonderful customer service.
So relieved to find a local company who provide an eco friendly option for our bean bags. What a difference in the over all feel as well! As you can see our fur babies really love them too!
Best beans that I’ve come across, hands down! My beanbag feels way sturdier now that I’ve got these bad boys in them. Plus they’re biodegradable which is a massive plus and to top it all off, Hamish (who on top of being super friendly) got them to me same day!!
We’re super happy with our Envee beans! They’re noticeably more comfortable than others we’ve tried, and the quality is fantastic — they hold their shape and feel really durable. The service was also excellent, from ordering to delivery. Highly recommend if you’re after quality and comfort!
I'm really sensitive to scent and can't stand the smell of normal beans - I emailed the Envee team to ask about the scent of the Envee beans and they got back to me super quickly to say they didn't have a strong smell. Can confirm! They don't really have much of a scent at all, and I'm thrilled with them! Would definitely purchase again for future bean bags. Thanks Envee team :)
Great customer service. I wasn’t sure how many beans my bean bag needed so I asked and they asked for dimensions but when I gave them I was then asked where it was bought. I never really got an answer because the person i bought it from miraculously knew it took 300L. But the responses were fast and clear. Luckily though I read a review that said because the beans are bigger than the old style they needed less so I only orders 200L which worked fine. My daughter is so happy it’s been a year at least she has been lugging around a super heavy bean bag because we tried filling it with blankets to avoid the nasty styrofoam beans. And she could never sit comfortably. Maybe if the bag was not so massive the blankets wouldn’t make it so heavy. Now she moves it around the house and sits in it daily. And I really love how it makes her sit straight when reading or using her tablet. I love how these are nontoxic and better for the environment and that they can be returned although we hope to keep or pass on for dare I say forever. The only reason they don’t get 5 stars is because they are very noisey when you sit in them. I know bean bags make noise but I feel these are louder and more af a squeaky unpleasant sound but not like nails on a chalk board. Just tor the price I would expect them not to be so noisey. Packaging is now folded up for wrapping paper and boxes are being played with by kids ❤️. I really do feel these are the best option for bean bags although I’m not completely sold on plant plastic but the only option are real dried beans. Image how much 200L/g of kidney beans would be and I think I would be in the same boat with it weighing a tonne.
We love the feel and comfort!
I ordered 300L of beans from Envee and loved them, however only needed 100L for the beanbag I made. I contacted Envee to see if I could refund the remaining beans and they were willing and extremely helpful. They promptly send me a return sticker and then gave me a refund once they received the beans. Very generous and appreciated!
We really like working with Envee beans, but I believe smaller beans could work better on smaller bean bags
Thanks Sam and great idea - We are working on some new variations (including sizes) for special purposes like this! Stay tuned!
It feels so good doing the right thing for the environment! So glad I found you.
They are a great idea, but should come with a noise warning ⚠️. Very loud beans.
Product is as specified. Didn’t need as much of this product as the bag said. Plenty left over for refills.
Packaging, size of beans and ease of
use
Great, environmentally friendly alternative
These beans are so good, they are bigger than the standard bean, which felt reassuring with kid safety, they are also don’t have the horrendous smell that some other standard beans have! Highly recommend.
Arrived promptly. Guilt free bean bag.
Got these in our Bean Bags beside the pool work a treat!
Beautifully packaged and easy to use. A great alternative that is environmentally friendly.
I am thrilled to find an environmentally friendly filling for a bean bag. What a fabulous idea. Unfortunately they didn’t work for me. They are too noisy and Iarge. The size of the beads make it uncomfortable to use plus the noise they make is just too loud. Margaret
I haven't felt what other 'standard' type fillings feel like for a very long time so I can't really compare the comfort. However I do know that our new big SpottedQuoll organic woolfelt bean bags are super comfy with these babies filled up! The envee beans feel firm and bounces back to its original shape well, so hopefully will last for a very long time.
Mainly for me though, I've held off buying bean bags for a long long time because I always thought they were unenvironmentally friendly until I came across this product. So although it's quite a bit dearer, I believe it's worth it in the longer term for a premium, lasting, and more environmentally friendly product.
Sustainable, and with outstanding service. Couldn't be happier. Will be recommending long into the future.
Great product and so good to not have something you know will be in the environment for centuries! The people who run envee are also super responsive and nice.
I love them. So easy to fill our bean bag and now I don't feel awful about polystrene in my house or contributing to landfill. YAY
The Envee beans are great! They’re sustainable, hold their shape and make for a very comfy bean bag. Dealing with the Envee team is a pleasure! Love it
I received my Envee Beans in just a few days, they provided super quick delivery! I love how they are sustainable and easy to use, thank you
Great product, so happy to find eco-friendly beans! And the customer service from Hamish is unparalleled. Incredibly helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend doing business with this company!
