What are the safety recommendations for using your products? (WARNING!)

This product, although it can be considered a toy due to its appearance and comfort, contains polystyrene beads inside, which are not intended to be handled. Handling beads may present safety hazards.

Please read these recommendations carefully before using this product.

  • Child Safety:

This product contains small sized polystyrene beads, carefully contained in a secure inner bag. The bag is accessible only via a zipper with a self-locking mechanism, which prevents accidental opening. To open it, a paper clip is required, ensuring safe handling.

On products intended for children (Junior Format), this self-locking closure ensures that it is impossible to open the zipper without a specific tool. However, for greater peace of mind, parents are recommended to check that the closure is secure before each use. This extra precaution allows you to guarantee the safety and comfort of your child.

  • Safety precaution regarding the location of your Bean Bag

Exposure to heat and flames: Avoid placing your bean bag near heat sources, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames or any other source of ignition. It is also not recommended to smoke near this product.

Heated floors: Do not place this bean bag on a heated floor. Due to the waterproofness of the cover and the insulating properties of the polystyrene beads, the temperature inside the product could increase excessively. Do not let the temperature exceed 75°C.

  • Contact with polystyrene balls: what to do?

Polystyrene beads are not dangerous in themselves, but it is important to take certain precautions in case of contact in the following situations:

Ingestion: Although polystyrene is not toxic, ingestion of beads can cause obstruction or choking hazards if swallowed in large quantities. If this happens, immediately rinse your mouth and drink water. Consult a doctor if necessary.

Skin irritation: Prolonged handling of beads can sometimes cause skin irritation. If irritation occurs, wash the affected area with mild soap and water. If irritation persists, consult a doctor.

Eye Contact: If polystyrene beads or dust come into contact with the eyes, rinse immediately with clean water or eye wash solution. If pain persists, consult a doctor.

  • Responsible Recycling of Polystyrene Beads

Polystyrene beads are not soluble and should not be disposed of in wastewater. We encourage you to adopt a responsible approach by taking your product to an eco-center for proper recycling. Respect for the environment is one of our values, and we are counting on you to contribute to a more sustainable future.

Why is there a delivery surcharge on my order during promotional periods?

Warranty

What is the warranty on Arico,s products?

Our Bean Bags as well as our ARICO accessories have a one year guarantee on the seams.

If anything that falls under normal use (see p.FAQ "normal use") comes to one of the seams before your warranty expires, contact us by telephone at 418-455-9749 or write to us at info@arico.ca. A member of our team will inform you of the procedure to follow.

** Take care to remove the interior net with the polystyrene balls before starting the process for our Bean Bag products.

What does “normal use” of our products means?

The ARICO guarantee applies to all its products, including bean bags, provided they are used under normal conditions.

By "normal use", we mean the use of the products in accordance with their intended use, that is to say as a seat or comfort element, in a suitable environment.

  • Don't jump on the product
    Avoid jumping on your bean bag to prevent damage and preserve its lifespan.
  • Avoid trampling the product regularly
    Frequent trampling can damage the structure and reduce the longevity of your product.
  • Storage and protection in case of bad weather (ORIGINAL Collection)
    Although our products are waterproof, we advise you to always store them indoors in case of bad weather conditions. Do not leave your bean bag outside permanently unattended.
  • Repair of broken products
    If a product breaks, do not attempt to repair it yourself. Contact us immediately so we can assist you.
  • Do not use on heated floors
    It is not recommended to use our bean bags on a heated floor, as this could alter their properties.
  • Precautions for use in mezzanine or solarium
    The use of our bean bags in a mezzanine or solarium is not recommended. The combination of the insulating properties of polystyrene and the waterproofness of the covers can create an excessive interior temperature. It is therefore important to ventilate the products well, especially during hot days, by opening the bean bag.
  • Reduction of filling over time
    Please note that the filling of your beanbag is elastic and with heavy use it may shrink over time. This is part of normal wear and tear.
  • Protect the product from sharp objects
    Be careful of sharp objects such as nails, screws, scissors, animal claws, etc., which could damage the fabric or upholstery.

Even if your purchase is no longer covered by warranty or the problem was caused by your own use (e.g. moisture, burning, cuts, tears or other damage), please contact us.

Our team remains at your disposal and we can help you find a solution quickly. By being a manufacturer, the process becomes much simpler for you!

How should i take care of my Bean bag?

Care instructions are specific to each product. Please see the care section of each item description for specific instructions.

Dry washing and tumble drying are strictly not recommended for all of our products, as they may damage the fabric."

Other Questions

How can I recycle my Bean Bag at the end of its life?

At ARICO, we attach great importance to our ecological footprint. This is why we encourage all our customers to drop off the inside of their bean bag at the end of its life at an ecocenter near you. Thus, we ensure that polystyrene beads are recycled and reused in a responsible and environmentally friendly manner.

In addition, to support your eco-responsible approach, our team offers a discount on your product refills. It is not necessary to throw away all the beads before refilling. You can reuse part of the interior and complete with a refill to restore your Bean Bag to all its comfort. 

Why is my Bean Bag losing volume and how do I refill it?

The interior of your bean bag, filled with high-density expanded polystyrene beads, can actually experience a reduction in volume over time and with intensive use. This phenomenon is natural and concerns all products containing polystyrene beads, not just those from ARICO.

If you notice a reduction in comfort, it is entirely possible to recharge your ARICO bean bag by ordering a refill bag. Refills are available directly in each section of our online store.

This allows your bean bags to regain all their comfort, quickly!

Can I leave my bean bag outside at all times? (ORIGINAL COLLECTION ONLY)

Our Serenny, Paloma, and Sepia collections are specifically designed for indoor use only. For these models, we do not recommend exposing them outdoors, as this could affect the quality and durability of the product.

On the other hand, for the ORIGINAL Collection, although the fabrics are made of 100% high quality polyester, with characteristics such as waterproofing, flame retardant (non-flammable), water repellency and UV resistance, we recommend bringing your bean bag indoors during the winter, in case of rain, or when you are away. This precaution helps preserve the durability of the product and facilitates its maintenance.

Although our fabric is UV resistant, prolonged and continuous exposure to sunlight may result in fading over time. This does not compromise the durability of the product, but it is recommended to limit prolonged direct exposure to sunlight to preserve color intensity. Prolonged exposure to the sun, especially during extreme conditions such as heatwaves, can cause color to fade over time. This will not compromise the durability of the fabric, but fading may occur if the product is exposed to direct sunlight for too long.

We therefore advise you to limit prolonged exposure to the sun in order to maintain the appearance of your bean bag and extend its lifespan.

Why does my Lounge Junior bean bag has no zipper head?

This is neither an oversight nor an error on our part, but rather a security measure. The absence of a zipper head on our Lounge Junior model was designed to prevent children from having access to the polystyrene balls inside the bean bag. Although the beads are contained in an inner bag, by removing the zipper head, opening the bean bag becomes impossible, reducing the risk of access to the beads.

To open the zipper, simply insert a paper clip into the small hole in the slider, which serves as a "lock". It's a simple system, quick to use, and above all, it's easy to put a paperclip back in place if necessary, because we usually have one on hand!

Thus, this ingenious solution helps maintain child safety while providing a way to open and close the bean bag if necessary.

Is it normal that some of the polystyrene beads in my filling bag are black?

Yes, this is completely normal, and we'll explain why!

During the polystyrene manufacturing process in a factory, one of the last steps is to bag the micro beads. At this point, the beads are poured into large funnel-shaped vats. Due to the size of these tanks, not all beads are systematically sorted one by one at each stage.

The "black" polystyrene balls you find in your bag are actually a version of high density polystyrene, which makes them more insulating. These beads are therefore more durable than classic white beads, thus offering better longevity. However, they are also more expensive, and a bag filled only with these micro beads would provide lower comfort than we have chosen for our products, as we use a combination of beads optimized for comfort and durability.

What is the maximum weight that your Bean Bags can support?

Only our Bean Bag Classic Adult model can accommodate two people simultaneously. All other models (Classique Junior, Lounge Junior, Lounge Adulte, Cadet, as well as the round and square footstools) are designed for one person at a time. We recommend a maximum weight of 175 kg for all of our bean bag models.

It is important not to jump on our ARICO bean bags, especially when the ring and carabiner are attached to the back of the Classic Adult Bean Bag model.
