Ever gotten beans for a beanbag chair only to fill it up and here a incessant constant squeak every time you move on it? No worry about that with these beads. They are not only soft but quiet which is awesome for homes with kids and adults who want a alternative place to chill and relax in the living room or bedrooms. This is a cozy spot for a nap or the  perfect study session in front of the fireplace. We love how comfortable and quiet these beans are and will definitely buy them again if we get another bag.
