I am sorry, but I see a lot of reviews talking about filling the bag.Isn't it coming filled? Or you are adding extra filling to make it heavier?

It's filled. I believe they used to sell it in filled and that's why you're seeing those reviews. Get the bag, it's good quality. I love mine!

$199.00 bag comes filled 150 lbs. $99.00 gets a in filled bag. I strongly suggest filled. Because its a pain to fill and just won't feel correct.

The one I got was filled to 130 lbs - most people wouldn't need anything more than that. It should say in the description if it is filled/unfilled. The company is selling filled or unfilled and the price will be adjusted accordingly. The quality of the bag is excellent and much better than you will find in any store. Also, if you contact the seller, you can customize the colors of your bag.

Ours came completely filled and very heavy (or as advertised). No extra filling needed.

There is an option to buy unfilled or filled. You need to make sure you are buying the filled bag.

In the past the bags on amazon were sold at the unfilled price; the one currently up is listed as filled, and is sold at the filled price. If you have the option, get a filled bag; the time, effort, and cost of filling it yourself isn't worth the savings.

I removed about half of the fill for my wife and just a little less on mine. It comes down to personal preference. I save the extra fill in heavy duty zip lock bags so it will stay fresh incase I need to add some back.

Can't avoid having it slide around. Best you first place it in a padded pouch of some kind. The bag is cavernous. Filling it means it will be heavy carrying it around. Still, I manage.

I think you could make it work. When it came I believe the bag it was rolled into was already 75" wide and was rolled tightly length wise. With that being the case, I think it might be hard to open it in place (which would be ideal). It is pretty squishy, but like someone else said it is bulky and heavy. I think you could do it, but you will likely be cursing the whole time.

The bag is sent empty. You get to supply you own "sand" or other weight. I use pea gravel as it is less messy.

I usually use it packed full, but have used it about 3/4 full before. I don't think it really matters. Our gas mileage gets hurt more from the extra weight, I think.

I just noticed the price increase!! Last time I ordered the 24 pound bag, it was around $24. It is now over $40! Crazy! What happened??

The bag is coated heavy paper. Sometimes it comes with paper filler in the box but sometimes they used the plastic pillows.

It depends how large your sachets are and how full you want them to be. I filled up 6 or 7 small sachets and the bag is still full. It's a LOT of lavender. You could easily fill 100, unless maybe you want them completely stuffed, but I think that's unnecessary.

I didn't have that problem. The weight of the lavender and the bag was over 8 ounces. Perhaps the person who filled your order forgot to tare the scale?

I think I used 3 of the big bags of filler....each bag is like $16 at Wal-Mart...It is a little tricky to fill.....do it outside and use a large paper funnel or something to keep them contained:) Good time!

That is very confusing. I would just stick with the standard, which contains 3 bags. Order multiple of those if you need more.

The only thing you need to do is fill the bottom with water or sand, your choice. I use sand because it's more dense. Nothing is needed inside the bag itself once you put it together.

No you just have to check it. It's best not to let it get really full, they are a little heavy when full.

Good question.. I noticed in the last batched purchased, some bags were a lot thicker than others.. disappointing.

Well stated by previous reviewer! Yes, it's very easy to fill up. The trick is to restrain yourself from blowing too much air into it...in this case less is preferred. Also, if you take it with you to the movies, for example, please make a point of remembering it when you leave.

Don't know: I have not had a need for filling it with heavy stuff; maybe the manufacture website mentions the weight rating? It is super sturdy though.
