Comfort, comfort, comfort. Sit back, relax, chill, take a load off in a Jaxx Bean Bag. We have enough stress in our lives, why not take some time, drink some wine and relax in a bean bag chair?

What is Natural Latex Foam and Do I want my Bean Bag Filled with it?
In general, the Dunlop method is the most natural and organic process, adding few chemicals other than those required to complete the vulcanization process - zinc oxide, stearic acid and sulfur among others.
The Talalay process follows the same initial steps but then adds steps and blends natural rubber latex with synthetic latex. The Talalay process produces latex foam that is a blend of natural rubber latex and synthetic latex.
In order to fill a bean bag chair and have it be comfortable to sit in, a large quantity of latex foam is required. This makes the bean bag unwieldy, heavy and awkward. Depending on the fabric of the bean bag cover, the latex foam may be too heavy and the seams or fabric will tear due to the sheer volume of latex foam required to fill the chair.
So long as the chair is kept small, filling it with latex foam can be successful. Trying to fill larger chairs just does not work as well. It is not impossible, just be prepared to have a heavy duty liner and cover than can support the weight of the foam, and know that it will not be something that is moved around much. The bean bag will also be quite firm to sit in, more so than a traditional bean bag chair.
