Advantages and disadvantages

Furniture from the Swedish brand Ikea is distinguished by practicality, high quality, safety, and convenient use. Among the wide range of products, there is also room for original hanging chairs, creating a peaceful environment for wonderful relaxation. Their main advantages:

Universal design and non-standard shape. The appearance of this unusual “flying” product resembles a cocoon, a ball and other variations of a spherical shape. Moreover, each model is thought out to the smallest detail and is distinguished by its brevity. The product can be a bright detail not only in the living room, but also become an integral part of the interior of an open terrace, balcony or veranda.
Thoughtful color palette. Each type of hanging chair is made in a wide variety of shades. By choosing the right color scheme, you can bring harmonious balance to your surroundings. Such furniture will be a great addition to vintage, African, industrial, minimalist and many other modern interior styles.
Easy installation and reliable design. The chair is only supposed to be attached to the ceiling. The reason for the lack of support stands for products is considered to be bulkiness, heavy weight and the inability to compactly store such a support, which in turn can lead to some inconvenience. Ceiling mounting systems are made of durable galvanized steel, making them reliable and durable.

No one has yet been able to identify the obvious shortcomings of Ikea hanging chairs. It can be noted that there is only a limited choice due to the small model range, but this is more than compensated for by the stylish execution of the products. Some may think that these models are not suitable for apartments with low ceilings. This is wrong. A special device included in the kit allows you to adjust the length of the chain, adjusting it according to the required parameters.

Materials

Many buyers who have purchased furniture from Ikea note its high durability and quality. This effect can be achieved thanks to the use of durable materials in manufacturing. To produce frameless models, fabric made from artificial fibers is used. It is not only durable, but also resistant to fading and abrasion.

The material is hypoallergenic. In addition, artificial fabric (nylon, polyamide, nylon) is not exposed to the negative effects of moisture and sunlight.

The following materials are used for the manufacture of frame models:

Metal – stainless steel or aluminum. To facilitate the design, the manufacturer uses metal tubes that are hollow inside. Chairs with a similar frame can withstand up to 200 kg of weight. The disadvantage of metal is that it has a cold surface, so it is often hidden in a fabric cover.
Rattan. There is artificial and natural material. It is characterized by high strength and wear resistance. The product is pleasant to the touch, smooth. Rattan chairs are beautiful, original and safe. Natural types of material require pre-treatment to protect them from damage by fungi and insects (especially if the product will be installed on a terrace). Despite the strength, the load capacity of such furniture usually does not exceed 120 kg.
Acrylic. It can be matte or glossy. The shape of a chair made of this material resembles an egg or a cocoon.
Polyurethane. This material is also characterized by increased strength and reliability. This product will last for a long time.

To attach chairs to the ceiling, pendants in the form of a rope or metal chain can be used. The clips are decorated, so they look beautiful and elegant. To improve the appearance of furniture, as well as increase comfort, regular or inflatable pillows are used. The first option is a product in a removable case. Latex and synthetic winterizer are used as filler. The cover is usually made of natural textiles or artificial fiber. In any case, the manufacturer ensures high quality of the material and its resistance to wear . As for inflatable pillows, their special feature is the ability to adjust their hardness.
