What is SoLuxe Filling?

SoLuxe is our premium filling option—a perfect blend of comfort, support, and longevity. It combines sustainable, hypoallergenic Dunlop Enduro®️ foam (crushed into soft, springy pieces) with our signature High-Density Ultra-Bead. This hybrid mix delivers plush, sink-in comfort with essential ergonomic support, maintaining the signature structure of Ambient Lounge®️ Gold Class furniture. The foam cushions beautifully, while the beads fill gaps and prevent sagging or compression over time. Delivered in waterproof bags with our exclusive zip-on funnel system, it’s easy to fill your product mess-free to your optimum comfort levels (you can adjust the firmness depending on your own filling preference). SoLuxe gives you lasting rebound, superior shape, and a luxurious feel every time you sit.

What is Ambient Lounge High-Density Bead Filling?

Our standard filling option is anything but ordinary. Ambient Lounge®️ High-Density Beads are ultra-fine, premium microbeads engineered for superior support, movement, and comfort. Designed to flow and contour to your body, they offer a flexible seating experience that gently cradles while maintaining structural integrity. These beads are quieter, more durable, and longer-lasting than standard beans—ensuring your furniture remains beautifully balanced and inviting for years. Delivered in a waterproof transport bag with our zip-on funnel system, refilling is quick, clean, and effortless. For everyday comfort with exceptional support, this is the gold standard in bead fill.

What is Cover Only? (I don’t need filling)

Choosing the "Cover Only" option means you’ll receive the beautifully crafted Ambient Lounge®️ cover without any filling inside. This is ideal if you already have suitable filling at home—from old bean bags or alternative materials like 100% foam—or if you'd simply prefer to source your own. It’s also a great choice for gifting on special occasions, allowing you to wrap and present the item easily. Unlike most Australian bean bag brands, we offer the option to add our premium filling later, purchased separately. Every cover includes our exclusive Funnelweb™️ zip system for quick, mess-free filling whenever you're ready.

Care

All our beautiful Ambient Lounge interiors fabrics are extremely high quality and built to last if we take good care of them. Here are some handy

Care Tips:

If your open weave fabric thread becomes loose, simply cut it off. Do not pull it. Dust is best removed using your hand vacuum with the appropriate attachment. Avoid harsh brushing and sharp objects (rings, buckles, toys) as it may cause snagging of threads. To avoid your bean bag fading, it is best not to expose it to direct sunlight. For best safety, Your furniture should be placed at least 50cm away from any heat source. During the first 3-6 months, bead filling/padding will compress slightly and may require top up. This is to be considered as normal wear and a good reason why you should use the best quality beads such as our Ultra-Bead. As tempting as it may be, armrests & backrests are not designed to take seating weight so please try to sit as conventionally as possible. To keep your bean bag furniture looking amazing, you should plump and shake it after use to the bead filling and fabric return to their initial appearance.

Washing & Cleaning:

The good news is that all of our interior fabric covers are warm machine or hand washable in cold or lukewarm water. Please always line dry after washing. Decant the beads using the Funnelweb system before washing and refill afterwards. For ease of care you may also spot clean most stains and scuffs using warm water or a high quality fabric cleaning kit. Fabric protection kits are also encouraged such as 3M Scotch Guard.

Repairs and Warranty:

Like anything in life problems can occasionally occur. If seam splits or tearing occur with reasonable wear and time - please check with our Australian team if that is covered under statutory warranty. You may email our friendly team with photos of the problem plus proof of purchase on info@ambientlounge.com.au or call 1300 707 121. (Most small faults or tears are also easily repairable)

SoLuxe™ Filling

What is SoLuxe Filling?

SoLuxe Foam Mix Filling is a new type of bean bag filling by ambient lounge® that offers a revolutionary way of enjoying luxury bean bags. This is a mix of the ambient lounge® Premium Ultra-Bead Filling and high-quality hypoallergenic foam.

We’ve found a way to repurpose and recycle foam off cuts to not only be more sustainable but also to minimise waste.

By using SoLuxe Foam bean bag filling, you can feel a big difference comfort-wise. If the Premium Ultra-Bead Filling already gives you that luxurious relaxation feels, get ready to be blown away by that elevated level of comfort that the SoLuxe Foam Mix Filling can give you. Try this out for your very own luxury bean bags!

How is SoLuxe Better Than Regular Bean Bag Filling?

With spring-like technology, crushed foam mixed with the bean bag filling creates resistance to settling You can enjoy the elasticity of the sofa for a longer time compared to using regular bean bag filling without requiring a top-up.

SoLuxe is a harmonious blend of crushed recycled foam & poly bead to create a 50/50 balanced filling solution. It is a combination of crushed recycled foam & high-density poly bead mix.

Air pockets surround each area internally creating resistance to settling. We source high-quality & hypoallergenic foam offcuts from the furniture & mattress industry reducing extra landfill.

Foam from existing products is recycled & crushed to create our SoLuxe filling solution. This reduces the amount of plastic that goes into our products. Foam has pockets of air between each layer, creating bounce & structure. With this innovation, the bean bag filling does not compress easily unlike Poly bead does.

FAQs
When should I top up my ambient lounge?

If your ambient lounge is looking flat or if you feel like it's loosing it's shape & structure, this means that you might need to top it up. Don't forget to fluff your loungers as needed. Like other bean-filled loungers, it is normal for the filling to decompress after some time. When it comes to how soon you need to top up, it depends on the usage.

Most of our products are filled with Premium Micro-beads & Sustainable Dunlop Foam which make up our SoLuxe Filling. For optimal lounge experience, you can purchase bean bag filling here.

Can I use this outdoors?

Like most of our soft furniture, the Butterfly Sofa comes in our Outdoor Collection. Perfect for poolside lounging, garden spaces and more.

PS: Our outdoor collection is waterproof so it makes cleaning a breeze!

What makes the Butterfly Sofa different from other bean bags or loungers?

The Butterfly Sofa offers the body-contoured comfort of a bean bag with the sophisticated structure of designer lounge furniture. With internal elastic supports and deep quilting, it holds its shape beautifully—delivering style and support in equal measure.
⁠Is the Butterfly Sofa suitable for everyday use in living rooms or media spaces?

Absolutely. It’s built for daily lounging and long sessions of Netflix, reading, or gaming. The sturdy internal structure combined with soft-touch fabrics makes it a luxurious yet practical choice for modern homes.
⁠Can the Butterfly Sofa covers be cleaned or washed?

Yes, the fabrics are fully washable. For most stains or spills, we recommend spot cleaning with a wet/dry vacuum (like a carpet cleaner), mild detergents, and gentle stain removers such as Vanish. The covers are also fully machine washable—however, you’ll need to decant the bead or SoLuxe™️ filling using our Funnelweb®️ Zip & Tip system and re-fill it after washing. Machine washing is best reserved for major spills; for everyday care, spot cleaning is highly effective.
⁠ ⁠Does the Butterfly Sofa come with a warranty or satisfaction guarantee?

Yes. We offer a full manufacturer’s warranty and customer satisfaction guarantee. Our customer service team is always here to help with advice, care, or post-purchase support.

What fabrics are used in the interiors range of the Butterfly Sofa?

We use high-end, heavy-duty upholstery fabrics—including polyester-viscose blends and premium weaves such as Keystone Grey (linen blend). All our fabrics are much thicker, more durable, and more refined than typical soft furniture or bean bag materials—chosen to meet the demands of both designers and daily life.
Will the Butterfly Sofa lose its shape over time?

Not at all. The internal elastic system and compartmentalised filling are engineered to hold form—delivering long-lasting structure and elegance. You can also easily top up the filling if needed to refresh the loft and support.
