It's a very common design and rather cheap (< $20 unfilled)... but it is big, and it's quite heavy when filled with dried corn kernels (what I had around for feeding ducks).That is a very big and sophisticated bean bag. Mine is just a bag full of beans (made by my mother for her own use and almost certainly contains actual beans).
Heavier/denser is generally better... and I wouldn't want one filled with polystyrene if you might be traveling with it. One would normally travel w/ it empty to save space/weight, and then fill with whatever is locally available cheaply (i.e. rice).I bought a small filled bean bag and it was filled with very small foam balls, definitely light guess it does the same job as other bags filled with heavier material.

I only ever use them from a vehicle... which is where it lives.I have one like that which I've had a while now and over the last year of having the Sigma 150-600mm sitting on it I think the foam is getting a bit squished. It's definitely not as 'plump' as it once was. I'm thinking of getting some plastic pellets to mix with the foam. I wouldn't want to be carrying a heavier one even though it probably would be better - I'd end up just leaving it at home.
