Games
- Bean bag toss Cornhole a.k.a "tailgate toss," "bean bag toss," "baggo," or "bags" is a lawn game in which players take turns pitching cornhole bags—cotton duck bags filled with feed corn—at a raised platform with a hole in the far end. These platforms are usually made with plywood or occasionally plastic, and are (sometimes called cornhole in the Ohio Valley of the United States), is a game similar to horseshoes and quoits, played with bean bags and two goals.
- Footbag A footbag is a small, round bag, sometimes referred to generically as a hacky-sack. . Although the game has existed for many years (policemen are seen playing it in the 1955 movie To Catch a Thief, for example), the current western incarnation of the sport was invented in 1972 by two men from Oregon City, Oregon, Mike Marshall and John Stalberger (also known as Hacky Sack, which is actually a trademark) is a type of ball-shaped bean bag that is used to play various games.
- Bean bags are also commonly used for juggling Juggling is a skill involving moving objects for entertainment or sport. The most recognizable form of juggling is toss juggling, in which the juggler throws objects up to catch and toss up again. Jugglers often refer to the objects they juggle as props. The most common props are balls or beanbags, rings, clubs, and special bounce balls. Some.
- In gridiron football Gridiron football is an umbrella term used in some English-speaking countries outside North America to refer to several similar codes of football played primarily in the United States and Canada. The term refers to the sport's characteristic field of play, which is marked with a series of parallel lines resembling a gridiron. The term gridiron in beanbags are used to mark the point of a change of possession (where a punt A punt in some codes of football, especially American football, rugby league and rugby union, is performed when the ball is kicked without letting it hit the ground first—in contrast to a drop kick. In Rugby football codes, the ball may be punted in open play by any player in order to gain field position, or a short-high punt known as an up and or kickoff A kickoff is a method of starting a drive in American football or Canadian football is caught, an interception An interception or intercept is a move in many forms of football, including Canadian and American football football, as well as rugby league, rugby union, Australian rules football and Gaelic football, which involves a pass being caught by an opposition player who usually gains possession for his team is made, or a fumble A fumble in American and Canadian football occurs when a player, who has possession and control of the ball loses it.

Furniture
Bean bag chairs are a popular form of furniture made of fabric A textile is a flexible material consisting of a network of natural or artificial fibres often referred to as thread or yarn. Yarn is produced by spinning raw wool fibres, linen, cotton, or other material on a spinning wheel to produce long strands. Textiles are formed by weaving, knitting, crocheting, knotting, or pressing fibres together and filled with small chunks of styrofoam Styrofoam is a trademark of Dow Chemical Company for closed-cell extruded polystyrene foam currently made for thermal insulation and craft applications or PVC pellets. They were hugely popular in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Their popularity resumed in the mid 1990s, as companies began selling chairs filled with shredded polyurethane A polyurethane is any polymer consisting of a chain of organic units joined by urethane (carbamate) links. Polyurethane polymers are formed through step-growth polymerization by reacting a monomer containing at least two isocyanate functional groups with another monomer containing at least two hydroxyl (alcohol) groups in the presence of a foam, charging a premium[citation needed] for the extra comfort this can provide.
It is also called expanded polystyrene or EPS in the industry. The diameter of the bead that goes into the bean bag does vary from about 3-9mm, however you can now also purchase micro-bead which is 1-3mm in diameter. After a couple of years use, the beans within a bean bag will become compressed and comfort will be reduced. One can generally obtain smaller bags of refill beans to top them up.
While popularity waned in the 1990s, in the second half of the first decade of the 2000s, bean bag made a small comeback with the advent of retro style.
Bean bag furniture generally takes the form of four basic designs being: (1) the teardrop; (2) the sack; the armchair; and (3) the cylinder. Variants of the four basic designs exist, as well as bean bags which are designed to resemble other objects or animals.
