Don't spin around in your chair! Don't plop down in a chair! Be careful with the upholstery! Don't roll back and forth around the room! Tell me, what else are office chairs made for?! After all, only to spin and roll back and forth, keeping up with the whirlwind of the bustle of work. And flop down on the seat after the battle with the world, exhausted. One day, IKEA decided to put an end to all those NOTs that, like an evil rock, haunt office chairs.
We said no to wobbly armrests, faded upholstery, dented seats and deflated gas lifts. And now you know exactly how ideal office chairs should look and function!
Design
How do you make good decisions? Only in a stable position! That is why all IKEA office chairs have a five-spoke support on smoothly rotating wheels. What we do know, however, is that office floors vary just as much as offices vary. And therefore, you can purchase wheels for hard or soft floors separately for your office chair. Are you afraid that your chair will “move away” as soon as you stand up? Don't worry. The locking function on these wheels is activated if no one is sitting on the chair. And in order not to scratch expensive laminate or parquet boards, you can complement your workplace with a KULUN protective mat. Likewise, you can purchase armrests and headrests separately. We know how pressing the problem of tired arms and neck is for those who constantly sit in front of a monitor. And how these elements interfere with those whose activities involve traveling. Thanks to separately purchased components, you can individually take into account the features of each workplace and at the same time save significantly.
Form
High-quality office chairs are shaped to follow the anatomy of a sitting person. A bolster under the lumbar deflection is required, removing the load from the back. The shape of the seat is usually rounded and smoothly sloping. This way, the blood vessels in the legs are not pinched during long hours of sitting. A thick layer of filler around the perimeter of the back and seat optimally fixes the body and helps to relax.
Adjustment mechanisms
When working at a computer for a long time, it is critically important to change the position of your body from time to time: tilt your head, change the tilt of your back, the position of your arms, the depth of your seat. Such micro-movements prevent muscle fatigue and ensure a working condition for a long time. Modern IKEA office chairs are equipped with smooth mechanisms for adjusting body positions with reliable fixation of the most successful positions. What's important is that you can easily change your position using the control lever without leaving your chair. And if you decide to relax and lean back slightly in your chair, the smart office chair will slightly extend the front of the seat, providing support for your hips and legs. After all, he “knows” that when you lean back, the lower part of your torso and legs involuntarily “slide” forward. If your height differs significantly from the standard one or you decide to purchase functional office chairs for your home, the additional DAGOTTO footrest will provide you with an even more convenient and comfortable position. This stand will be especially relevant for a schoolchild’s workplace.
Upholstery and filling
The quality of the filler largely determines how long your office chair will serve you faithfully. IKEA uses highly elastic polyurethane foam as a filler, which holds its shape well and is used in the production of not only seats and backrests, but also the armrests of some chairs. When making office chairs, we apply pressure with multi-kilogram weights in the most easily worn areas. This means that the seat under Ivanov will not break faster than the chair under Petrov.
You can choose a chair with synthetic or leather upholstery. Or perhaps you like upholstery made from natural materials? In the IKEA assortment you will find a chair for every taste. You can even choose a LILLHOYDEN chair with the ability to change covers. Keeping such a workplace clean is easy and pleasant, because in order to freshen the chair, you just need to put its removable cover in the washing machine.
Whatever IKEA office chairs you choose, you can be sure that your seat is made of environmentally friendly, hygienic materials, and a long stay in the chair will not cause discomfort.
Breathable, vapor- and water-permeable chair fabric is an easy achievement if we use natural materials. But what to do with budget models made from synthetic fibers?
In such cases, IKEA suggests using a mesh stretched tightly over the frame of an office chair with support in the back area. The “mesh” back will provide the necessary ventilation and comfortable support for the entire body.
Upholstery, like any textile product at IKEA, undergoes numerous tests beforehand.
Chemical testing ensures that our customers will not experience allergies when using the office chair. We also test the fabric's tensile and tear strength before putting it into production. When using mixed fibers, the material must undergo composition control. All IKEA fabrics are tested for resistance to fading, abrasion and stains. Such severe tests are a guarantee that when purchasing a batch of office chairs, you receive exactly the same products with stable quality.
If you look through the catalog, you will see that each IKEA model is presented in several color variations. This move helps to avoid a formulaic approach to office furnishing, highlight the interior to advantage, and at the same time make each workplace individual.
Guarantee
And finally, the best thing about IKEA chairs is the guarantee. A free 10-year warranty is provided for all models of MARCUS and VOLMAR chairs. What does it mean? That in the next 10 years you will remember about your office chair only once - when you want to buy exactly the same one for your home.
Computer chair: attention to detail
It is known that the more time we spend in one position, the more comfortable and convenient it should be. Now remember how much time you spend sitting at the computer? Surely a lot. What are you sitting on? Practice shows that a stiff neck and back are direct consequences of improper posture and are not the best companions for an effective work process. And the sooner you take care of the ergonomics of your workplace, the lower the risk of getting similar results from your work activity.
We're sitting well!
Start by sitting! A computer chair not only bears the load on your body, but also the most important function in maintaining your health. First, make sure you are sitting at the table correctly.
The feet should touch the floor or a special stand, and the body should form two right angles: between the back and hips, between the thighs and lower legs. If you work at a computer for two hours or more, pay special attention to the choice of your desk chair. An office space that has a lot of functions and is flexible in configuration will allow you to easily survive your workday in one place. It’s easy to check your future chair: just check its parameters with the IKEA checklist.
Adjusting the computer chair
By height
This is the most basic parameter of an office chair, thanks to which people of different heights do not experience inconvenience when working at the same worktops. At the same time, this is the most vulnerable part: we are all well aware of cases when cheap office chairs literally “deflated” after working for a very short time. In IKEA stores you will find a range of office chairs and armchairs that come with a free 10-year warranty.
According to the inclination of the back
A reclining computer chair does more than just help you support your back and lean back during moments of relaxation. It also creates a wider workspace, relieves tension from your hips and back, and even... helps you breathe more freely. This means that the work will definitely increase. Did you like the new angle of work? In IKEA chairs, the backrest adjustment function is equipped with a stopper. Record successful results!
By seat depth
You can slightly change your body position during the day and thereby protect yourself from early fatigue by simply changing the depth of your seat. This solution will relieve tension in the leg muscles. There is one more plus in the list of advantages of IKEA computer chairs: when you lean back in the chair, the seat automatically moves forward a little, providing support for your legs.
Keepers of Comfort
When assessing the quality of a work chair, do not forget about such seemingly trifles as the nature of the chair’s covering, the presence of armrests and a headrest. After a while, you yourself will wonder how you ever lived without all this.
Armrests
If you work at a desk without a keyboard tray, you may experience some discomfort in your wrists. A computer office chair with armrests can get rid of this problem. Such a small accessory, but so many benefits! Armrests will relieve muscle tension from your arms and shoulders, provide strong support for your elbows, and thereby protect your back and wrists. If you are not yet sure that you need them, then at the IKEA store you can buy a chair and later buy armrests for it.
Headrest
Provides additional support to the head and neck and...an extra reason to lean back during the work process and catch a new idea.
Wheels
A computer chair on wheels has long become an indispensable must-have for any office. The wheels on IKEA chairs lock when the chair is not in use. In addition, they are covered with rubber, which guarantees smooth movement on any floor surface. If you are worried about scratches, just purchase a special KULUN mat that will protect the floor from dirt and wear.

Seat surface
Simple chairs are usually upholstered in synthetic fabrics. Are you concerned about your health? Pay attention to the VOLMAR chair with wool upholstery.
A leather computer chair looks very respectable, but few people will be happy with the prospect of working in such a chair on hot summer days. The MARCUS chair looks great and does not have the disadvantages of solid leather chairs, because its back is made of mesh that allows air to pass through.
Designs for children
A children's chair for working at a computer must correspond to the anatomical characteristics of a growing organism. The following models have become the most popular:
- Jules. It immediately attracts attention with its bright, cheerful design, functional design, and is designed for a weight of up to 50 kg. These chairs can be adjusted in height, the seat dimensions are 35x32 cm. The products are suitable for children aged 4–12 years. Possible colors: green, white, blue, pink.
- Torbjorn. The designs have a sloping seat that is height adjustable. The products are supplemented with safe rollers that respond to the pressure applied to the chair. The practical upholstery can be easily cleaned from dirt. The chairs are designed for ages 8–12 years.
