Say Namaste The Eco-friendly Way

We at Bean Products are committed to the idea that quality products shouldn’t come at the expense of the environment or your wallet.



33 Years of Made in America: Established in 1987 and based in Chicago, we’ve been a leading manufacturer of eco-friendly home goods, wellness products and fitness accessories for over 33 years. We are proud to handcraft each and every sustainable, environmentally friendly Bean Product right here in the USA.



Whatever you need, we make it: we have a wide variety of products in our catalog - pillows, meditation cushions, yoga mats, fitness accessories, dog beds, bean bag chairs, and more - all with a few things in common.



Designed to Improve Your Life: We work with top experts in their field to ensure our wellness and decor products are designed with the philosophy that the items we buy should make us happier, healthier and of a freer mind.



Made to Last: As experts in manufacturing, we know our products will long outlast our competitors. That is why we use commercial grade design and materials, allowing us to offer a full 1 year warranty on most products. With Bean, you can rest easy knowing you won’t have to buy a cheap replacement again in 6 weeks, and in the process, save money and reduce your carbon footprint.



Natural Materials: All our products are made from best in class natural materials with no harmful added toxins. Bean Products is a GOTS certified manufacturer, meaning we have been recognized for reducing the use of bleaches and toxic chemicals, unlike our competitors. Simply put, we believe it’s irresponsible for brands to introduce harmful toxins into the lives and homes of their customers by cutting corners in materials and importing.



Often organic and locally sourced, our alternative materials make for a better world and longer lasting products: hemp, buckwheat, kapok, pure cotton, recycled poly fibers.

• ELEVATE YOUR PRACTICE: Bring the floor to you to improve asana and avoid injury. Dense enough for extra firm support, soft enough for comfortable sitting and laying over. Beveled edges for better grip.
• CLASSIC FOAM: The tried and true yoga block construction. Non-slip & scratch fee, our foam is soft enough for comfort and durable enough for lifetime use. 2 pack set.
• CHOOSE YOUR SIZE: Large (4" x 6" x 9") is the perfect width for average to larger hands. For smaller hands, try our 3 inch width above. Both are designed with professional yogis to be the optimal block size for a variety of poses.
• STUDIO-GRADE QUALITY: Bean Products are designed with experts and made from the highest quality materials available. Our blocks are high density and durable for lifetime use.

User questions & answers

Question:	Where is this product made
Answer:	Good question... It doesn't say on the product. The materials are probably foreign anyway. I don't think there are any cork farms here in America. Not that I know of anyway. but it is better than foam. By the way, I recommend buying the 4" thick block... This one is a little unstable on the 3" side.
Question:	Is it one or two blocks per pack? The description says it both ways
Answer:	It is 1 pack with 2 blocks. I love these btw.
Question:	Is this really made in the US as mentioned in the product description
Answer:	I presume the information printed is accurate
Question:	How much does this block weigh
Answer:	I have never weighed mine, but they are quite substantial and heavy. I love mine though because i am a larger person and they feel very stable when I use them. I even use them to sit on when I do my seated posture as they are firm and give me a stable base ( My knees are bone on bone and I need to have my hips elevated while in a seated position)

User questions & answers

Question:	In need a really firm one that won't squish--like the ones some nicer hotels have in their rooms. Will a 9" flatten out? need one that won't
Answer:	These are firm, and support my body weight in positions like supported fish, and back extension. I actually have 2 of the rounds, and would highly reccommend them
Question:	Can this be used as a neck pillow
Answer:	It is a very firm pillow. I am not sure how it would be used for the neck. It is great to use under the knees to support the lower back.
Question:	Are the organic cotton or hemp bolsters back in stock? How do I know which bolsters are those
Answer:	The hemp bolsters are back in stock in select colors. When you hover over a color swatch it will say Hemp before the color. I.e. Hemp Natural
Question:	How to choose: round or rectangular. ? Which is best for restorative poses such as forward bend, supported back bend? Round
Answer:	https://www.huggermugger.com/blog/2016/how-to-choose-yoga-bolsters/I’m not a yoga expert. I use my larger round one for most poses and then Prayanama for others. This page has some good information.

User questions & answers

Question:	There are 2 bolsters in the picture, but do we actually only get one or the other
Answer:	Hi, I remember that we have discussed this on Amazon, do you receive our email?
Question:	Whats the difference between the pranayama and the rectangular
Answer:	Several of ours were pains in the ass. The switches don't work reliably. Some would not turn on unless massively pressed. Some would turn on but immediately turn off (switch bounce). Eventually got all 16 (two orders) to work.
Question:	I'm having trouble telling which color is organic cotton. Am I missing something
Answer:	Not a good quality won’t recommend
Question:	What cover is best for not attracting dog hair
Answer:	It may need to be solar charged for an hour or so (I think I saw that mentioned in the instructions) or you may need to cover it so that it sees dark when you push the button. I had several that did that where I had to put my hand over the solar cell to get it to trigger on for testing. I bought 2 sets and I had 1 or 2 out of each that would not turn on immediately when I hit the button because they were in light that was too bright. All eventually worked and continue to work.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this a set
Answer:	One bolster is round, the other is rectangular. They are sold separately, as far as I know. Used for different things. Depending on what you are looking for, will determine which one you need. I find the rectangular one useful in several yoga poses, the round one best for relaxation. Just my opinion...
Question:	How rough and tight is the weave of the hemp? Often I find hemp scratchy, and the fabric open like burlap instead of dense like canvas
Answer:	The rectangular is a great base for easy pose - my hips and knees aren’t flexible enough to be flat. The pranayama I found is better a chest opener, under my knees or under my hips for feet up the wall.
Question:	what is the difference between pranayama and the round and rectangular
Answer:	The organic cotton bolsters are currently out of stock.
Question:	What is the exact fabric content of the "natural" pranayama bolster?? is it organic or reg. cotton? the listing is confusing with 3 choice title
Answer:	A non- shedding dog is optimal, however, the two bean bolsters I have are dense fabric and can remove pet hair with a tape roller. My advise is to keep them away from where you store them...use your mat that is a personal space and train the pets to stay.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there any reason NOT to put it in the freezer to kill any potential mites or insects that some have complained about
Answer:	I haven’t had any bug issues with this cushion.
Question:	How can I prevent mite infestation and keep the hulls from rotting
Answer:	Yes
Question:	I am 5' 8" and 150, any thoughts on the 14" or the
Answer:	If by tape you are referring to a VCR tape, then it sounds as if the tape has been wound to tight. This will happen normally over time if the tape is watched a lot. There are several ways to loosen the tape. First try to gently turn one of the windings so the tape is not as tight. If that does not work, and you have another VCR Player try that one. Unfortunately, they do come to a point that they can't be used any more. I have had to trash several like that.
Question:	Is there a benefit in getting the large oval cushion over the smaller round cushion
Answer:	It does have an HDMI output. It makes an outstanding DVD player. My only concern is the current price. I bought 3 of them from HSN for $179 each. They were also sold at Walmart for the same price.
