To begin with it is not as filled as depicted in the photo advertisement, and I waited more than a week for the bag to fluff up. The filling is, surprisingly, not the beans from the 70’s but a softer sort of cut up pieces of pillow texture. I can’t decide if I like that or not. It wakes the bag more comfortable but it really isn’t a “bean” bag. The size is perfect for a child or a preteen unless you are going to use it as a foot rest, and it does make a nice comfy foot rest, just ask my cat!
