Are the beads inside more like the beans in new beanbags or are they more like sand?

They are tiny, maybe 1 to 2 mm or so (as opposed to the new ones which are about the size of a pea, appx 12mm).

Well, my last one (which was like 7 years old) got a hole in it after so long, so I was able to see the beads - they like the beads you get in a bean bag but they feel very tiny. This one is the same. The beads are so tiny they feel a lot like sand, and you can't actually feel the beads unless you squish the pillow together with your fingers, purposely trying to feel the beads. It's perfect!

More like beans, very lightweight, but not that heavy feel like beans in beanbag chairs.

I checked on them... They are plush, not filled with beans. They are about the size of beanie baby animals. Very cute!

The material feels like bead shapes. I do know they work very well and repeatedly. I have a massage practice and have used mine for over 4 years. I have researched but cannot find any information as to the content of the beads.

The bag I received was whole beans. It says in the product heading "ground" or "bean",.

I don't know, but the outer material is quite heavy duty, and the filling feels firm, like more of the same material folded up. It does not feel like a foam, or beans.

Not sure what the inside is made of but it feels like small beads and must not get wet.

It's NOT the typical little "beads", but says 100% polyester. It's like a squishy bed pillow. Hope that helps?

They are harder than a brick. Can't crush them, but they are fragrant and spicy. I bet they are roasted, but who knows for sure.

It is stuffing, not beans as far as I can remember. I returned the bear quickly after I got it as it was not the size advertised. Mjch smaller.

I would say the inside is "semi" rough. They have been turned/carved but not polished. The slight roughness seems to aide in grinding. I am very happy with it.

I can't say for sure, but I'm thinking it's a long time. The bags are vacuum packed and the beans seem to be freeze dried. Kind of like camping food.

The lizard is squishy, not hard plastic. I'm not sure what is on the inside, it dosen't feel like beads. My grandson loves it.

If I remember correctly the answer is in the description on the bag. It is not sand it is stuffed with rags. We have had ours for over a year & it is used at lest every other day. Still looks and feels like new-great bag at a great price.

They are raw (but I have no idea what a "ferminted" bean looks like) and I suggest you roast them in a hot oven for about 10 minutes to get the shell off.

Actually the cacao nibs are inside. The outside is a rather thin papery covering, which you can eat too. They are rather crunchy and need to be chewed up. The first few seemed sort of strange. But after I had eaten a few about 3 different times I really got into them. I have now eaten 2 packages of them and have gotten to like them better than the processed chocolate we are used to, which now tastes sort of sweetly overcooked chocolate. That may not happen to everyone, but I have another friend that likes them more than customary chocolate now too.

Hi Deborah,there are a lot of beads of all sizes in there. Some have openings almost 1/4 inch and some of them are just very small almost like seed pearls.

Some kind of foam. Warning, I had to go buy additional beads at Kmart which were cheaper than these.
