Enter the length, width, and height of your bean bag into the calculator to determine the total number of 1kg bags of beans to fill your bean bag.

Bean Bag Filling Formula

The following formula is used to calculate how mean beads are needed to fill a bean bag. 

B = L * W * H  / 50,000
  • Where #B is the number of 1kg bags needed to fill the bean bag
  • L is the length of the bean bag (cm)
  • W is the width of the bean bag (cm)
  • H is the height of the bean bag (cm)

To calculate the number of bags needed to fill a bean bag, multiply the length, width, and height of the bean bag in centimeters, then divide by 50,000.

What is bean bag filler?

How to calculate how many bags of filler i need to fill my bean bag?

Example:

The following example outlines the steps needed to calculate the amount of bags of filler needed to fill a bean bag.

First, determine the length of the bean bag. In this case, the length is 60 cm.

Next, determine the height of the bean bag. For this example, the height is measured to be 35 cm.

Next, determine the width of the bean bag. This is measured to be 65 cm.

Finally, estimate the number of 1kg bags of filler needed for the bean bag using the formula above:

#B = L * W * H / 50,000

#B = 60*35*65 / 50,000

#B = 2.73 bags of 1kg filler
