Services & Process

As both a furniture retailer and reupholstery provider, Bean Bag Shop handles a range of needs under one roof. On the retail side, customers can browse ready-made seating options in various sizes and fabrics. On the reupholstery side, the shop can recover existing pieces with new fabric, replace worn fill material in bean bags and cushioned furniture, and resize or modify pieces for different uses. This dual focus means the staff understands both the product and the repair side, which is useful when you're trying to figure out whether to restore or replace a piece.

Service Area

Bean Bag Shop serves customers throughout Minneapolis and the broader Hennepin County area. Its Minneapolis location makes it accessible to residents from Uptown, Linden Hills, and South Minneapolis, as well as suburban customers coming in from Eden Prairie or Minnetonka. Calling ahead is recommended to confirm availability and parking for larger pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Bean Bag Shop reupholster furniture that isn't a bean bag?
Yes, shops that carry both retail furniture and reupholstery services generally handle a range of pieces beyond their specialty product line. It's best to call and describe what you have so they can confirm whether it falls within their scope of work.
What kind of fill is used in bean bags and cushioned furniture?
Modern bean bags typically use expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads or shredded foam rather than actual beans. The fill type affects how the piece feels and how long it holds its shape, so asking about fill quality is a smart part of any purchase or restoration conversation.
How often does bean bag fill need to be replaced?
EPS bead fill compresses over time with regular use, typically needing a top-up or full replacement every few years depending on how heavily the piece is used. A shop that specializes in this type of furniture can assess the current fill and recommend the right amount to restore the original feel.
What fabric types work best for high-use bean bag furniture?
Microfiber, faux leather, and tightly woven canvas-style fabrics tend to hold up best under regular use, especially in homes with kids or pets. These materials resist stretching and are easier to clean than loosely woven options that can snag or pill over time.
Is it worth recovering an old bean bag or just buying a new one?
If the outer fabric is worn but the fill and zipper closure are still functional, recovering is often cheaper and faster than buying new. For pieces with sentimental value or unusually large sizes that are hard to find in stores, recovery makes even more sense.
Does Bean Bag Shop offer custom sizing or shapes?
Shops that combine retail and reupholstery services often have the ability to create custom pieces or modify existing ones for specific needs. It's worth asking directly about custom orders, since this varies by shop and depends on current workload and material availability.
