 * Keep or merge into Pillow or create Microbead. Article just needs improvement, this is a very common, popular product type.  Similar stretchy construction and microbead filling is also commonly used for stuffed animals. Crypticfirefly (talk) 06:40, 20 September 2008 (UTC)


 * rename and expand as microbead. Sticky Parkin 18:59, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Move to Microbead, the concept of microbeads seems sourceable. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 02:50, 25 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep Microbeads are certainly of interest. There's still also some novelty to this construction (smaller beads, harder beads, elastic covering) compared to older beanbags. As I don't know of any uses for these beads outside these pillows, and as a key change from traditional beanbags is also their use of a Spandex-like outer covering material, then I'd favour keeping it here rather than renaming to Microbeads.

 * They're used in the giant beanbag thingies you can sit on, and I think also in some soft toys. Sticky Parkin 18:14, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * But microbeads aren't the same as the beads (expanded polystyrene, bigger, softer) used in the big beanbags since the '60s. These new ones are different. Andy Dingley (talk) 18:20, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Make it microbead stuffing if you don't like plain microbead. But I do think this should be kept and expanded under some title. Crypticfirefly (talk) 05:13, 27 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. The article itself (wisely) makes no claim of notability. Despite being in existence for four months, the article cites not even one reference. Bongomatic (talk) 06:58, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
