What can I fill a big bean bag chair with that is:

Ecofriendly
Cheap
Comfortable

Bonus points if I already have the material in my house.

Excess packing peanuts (reusing?)

An old comforter or blankets?

Beans? (j/k, that would be so heavy!)

Ha! I thought of beans too, but quickly rejected the idea.

Wood shavings! This is what I make my dog beds with anyway! WE have danes so we go through a lot of big beds lol! Cedar is naturally anti microbial!

Wouldn't that be pokey though? Meaning the bits would poke through the fabric?

i agree with the old stuffed animals/blankets. i think Boon even makes something to put your stuffed animals in that ends up looking like a beanbag chair.?

Well get the shavings from like a hardware store or lumber yard not so much like mulch chips. The shavings are really comfy! Yes I have tested the dog beds. Some lumber yards package and sell their shavings instead of disposing of them. If you are in a large city this might be harder to find.
