The Swedish brand Ikea has always strived to improve the lives of its customers by increasing the practicality and comfort of furniture. One of the popular products is the Ikea Strandmon chair - a direct confirmation of the company’s policy. Judging by numerous reviews, users have long called this furniture a real standard of quality. In addition, this is a vivid example of the accessibility of products from a famous manufacturer for people with different incomes, which can be seen not only in the cost of the chair, but also in its rather simple design.
How to make the right choice
Main criteria:
First of all, the upholstery. Whether it is leather, textile covering or artificial material - it all depends on personal preferences and capabilities. On the website you can see models with rattan;
The choice is largely influenced by color. Often the buyer is faced with the fact that such a shade... alas, does not exist. The Swedish company made sure that the range was presented in the most brilliant colors. Yellowish tints along with light green and green, classics made in white and black styles. There are burgundy, purple, indigo, and “mouse.” There are all sorts of flowers;
Finally, the form. Different and varied. There is a traditional style. There are options with rounded outlines. Fans of non-standard solutions are presented with original designs. The absence of excesses in the design plus the rich green tint will be appreciated by lovers of minimalism in the Stockholm model. And the severity of Ekenes fits perfectly into an office environment.
Design and dimensions
The seat of the Strandmon chair with a headrest is low, which will be comfortable for people of different heights. It is quite possible to sit on it with an even posture, but the slight tilt makes you want to lean back towards the headboard. The soft “ears” are specially made so that in a reclining position you can lean against the ledges and comfortably rest or even take a nap.
The headrest of the chair is designed in a special way to relax and relieve fatigue from the thoracic and cervical spine. This type of head support is a godsend for people who find it difficult to stay with a straight back for a long time. In addition, the chair has slightly inwardly curved legs, they firmly hold the product, and are also able to withstand any weight thanks to the load distribution system and high-quality material. This arrangement of supports ensures the stability of the entire structure, so the likelihood of a person falling along with the chair is reduced to zero.
The Strandmon dimensions are another parameter for which you can love this furniture. The model is not bulky and fits into any free corner, leaving enough space around it for a lamp, pouf, table or bedside table. The width of the structure is 82 cm, height - 101 cm, and depth - 96 cm. The distance from the floor to the seat is 45 cm, which is quite convenient for both tall people and users of medium and small height. All these parameters turn Strandmon into the most stable product that can withstand heavy loads.
All the best ideas were fully realized in the Strandmon chair; the result was a very comfortable, roomy product with small dimensions. The model will perfectly suit the decor of any room and create the right mood. has once again proven that it can make not only beautiful, comfortable, but generally accessible furniture, because Strandmon is a chair that organically combines with any design. The design is not only ergonomic, but also promotes healthy pastime without harming the spine and lower back. Taking into account international quality standards and customer wishes, the company has released a product that will not leave indifferent lovers of classic, vintage and modern interiors.
Nuances
And now a little about the subtleties:
- Having assessed the main points, be sure to choose the desired “softness”. While in the store, it’s quite easy to check. The Internet provides customer reviews for review, from which you can get an idea about such a property and place an order in the online store;
- Metal elements are good for a kitchen setting, but look contradictory in a living room;

- The reclining backrest is a wonderful feature of the item. Everyone will feel comfortable on it. This type of rest is especially recommended for pregnant women and those who need to pay attention to their back.

The right approach to selection is the main criterion for a successful purchase. Prices are competitive. The product is conscientious. The design matches a modern interior.
Dimensions

Materials
The upholstery fabric of the Strandmon chair from the Ikea brand is a complex mix of cotton, linen and polyester with viscose. Natural fibers of the mixture allow the fabric to breathe freely, create a cozy and pleasant surface for the body, artificial fibers facilitate easy cleaning, and form a layer that is resistant to abrasion. Percentage of materials:
- cotton - 40%;
- flax - 20%;
- polyester with viscose - 40%.
Advantages and features of Ikea hanging chairs, popular models
Blended fabric can last for decades if treated with care. Upholstery care is carried out as follows:
- dry cleaning is carried out with a regular vacuum cleaner using a special attachment for upholstered furniture;
- wet cleaning can be done using a steam cleaner;
- stains and stubborn dirt are removed using chemicals for cleaning carpets and upholstered furniture, according to the instructions.
The filling of the seat, back and armrests is polyester or polypropylene. These artificial materials do not cause allergic reactions in humans and retain their shape perfectly during daily use. Internal components do not require additional cleaning or treatment against dust mites, which quickly colonize organic fillers.

The frame structure is made of natural materials - plywood and chipboard. The legs of the chair are made of solid beech, a varnish coating of a dark noble color is used, resistant to external influences and abrasion. A strong and reliable base is the key to long-term operation of the Strandmon chair.
The combination of natural and artificial materials made it possible, while maintaining the design parameters, to significantly reduce the total weight of the chair.
Timeless classic
One of the simple pleasures in our lives is relaxation. That is why designers have created soft and comfortable sofas, as well as armchairs in which you can relax.
The issue of purchasing a chair should be approached quite seriously, because the health of the musculoskeletal and circulatory systems depends on it. It’s also not worth saving on purchases, because furniture is bought for a fairly long period of use.
Sitting in a comfortable chair, a person should feel relaxed and comfortable. And a nice addition - a headrest - will only have a positive effect on the spine.
The furniture company Ikea produces home furniture. In bright catalogs you can find almost everything - from small poufs to armchairs for the home, in which it is pleasant to sit with a book in your hands, watch TV or just dream.
A very interesting chair appeared on the cover of the company's 2013 catalog. It was as if from past centuries: soft, a little voluminous, vintage. This is how the company introduced the Strandmon chair to the public.
"Vedbu"
Another elegant option with thin wooden legs. There are two forms of “Vedbu”: 80 cm wide with a high back and 73 cm wide with a low back, the height is only 75 cm. Both options are available in three colors: brown-pink, blue and dark gray. If you have a small room, pay attention to this model. Due to its thin legs and light body, it will not weigh down the interior. And besides, it will be a worthy alternative to the blue IKEA “Strandmon” chair; it will look great in the photo in the interior. And if you add a cozy blanket, it’s hardly recognizable.
In a small bathroom, you can install a glass shower so as not to divide the already small space into several parts.

"Buskbu"
With the trend towards environmental friendliness, the materials from which cabinet and upholstered furniture are made are becoming increasingly important. The Swedish manufacturer has several options made from natural rattan. They will add to the interior not only a touch of eco, but also a tropical mood.
The light, airy “Buskbu” is unlikely to leave anyone indifferent. It is quite roomy and comfortable: width - 43 cm, depth - 63 cm, and back height - 75 cm. There are soft pillows that only make it more comfortable.
The design of “Buskbu” is reminiscent of warm countries. At the same time, it looks very homely, but one of the features of rattan products is the deceptive feeling, as if they were created for the street.
“Buskbu” will refresh the light design and add texture. Try to create a living corner with potted flowers around, and the feeling of an island in a city apartment is guaranteed.

Based on the information provided by IKEA and thanks to customer reviews, we can form a more objective picture of each option and make the right decision.
To make it easier for you to make a purchasing decision, we have collected all the advantages and disadvantages in one table:

Large selection of colors. | Not the most attractive design (maybe subjective). No armrests. | 9,999 – 11,999 (depending on the chosen color) |
| Lexele Hovet | A higher quality dense mattress with a polyurethane foam density of 35 kg/cubic meter compared to Murbo and Levos. Fully removable cover. Large selection of colors. | Not the most attractive design (maybe subjective). No armrests. | 11,999 – 13,999 (depending on the chosen color) |

"Agen"
Like all Ikea rattan products, it is made by hand. “Agen” will look best in a group of two or more copies. If you are styling a dining room, pay attention to it; in the kitchen, eco-style elements look very impressive. The main thing is to keep them away from the gas stove burners.
To diversify the interior, allow not only chairs at the dining table, but also a nice sofa or mini-sofa. And chairs of different styles also look very stylish.
A similar one is presented in white - “Finntorp”.
Reviews
I said above that I did find some comments about the quality and design. But such comments are a drop in the ocean of positive reviews. Beauty, convenience, comfort captivate and, as they say, many are ready to forgive some minor shortcomings for beautiful eyes.
But for the sake of honesty, I still have to talk about them.
- Note #1 – it tips over easily. Due to its lightness, furniture can be dropped. For a family with small children this is a significant disadvantage.
- Note No. 2 – The bottom is not covered with a decorative strip. For those who are used to not gluing wallpaper behind the closet (no one sees anyway), this will not play any role.
- Comment #3 – Overpriced. One third of the average salary in Russia (except for Moscow and Moscow Region) is, of course, a lot. But the delight of the purchase and the pleasure of using it are no longer measured in money, so someone is quite ready to overpay, never regretting it. This is confirmed by many positive reviews.
Reviews: irecommend.ru.
The funniest comment from customers was that Strandmon was difficult to find. It sells out quickly and you have to wait until it goes on sale again. Or you can not wait and purchase a used version or even a completely new one in packaging through free message boards like Avito. True, sometimes, taking advantage of the general excitement and shortage, some fellow resellers add another couple of thousand to the original price.
When purchasing a chair from Ikea, if you keep the receipt or have a club card, the product is given a free 10-year warranty.
"Landskrona"
Landskrona is available in fabric and leather upholstery. Pay attention to the reddish-brown skin tone - it looks very noble. And the shape will appeal to lovers of different styles: minimalism, loft, and even the fashionable style of the 60s.

"Storsele"
The height of "Storsele" is 100 cm, width - 69 cm. It will fit well into both a light and dark kitchen or living room. In the first case, you can play on the contrast, and in the second, you can emphasize the texture of the natural material.
"Poeng"
Another legend in the manufacturer’s line. It was created in the 1970s by Japanese designer Noboru Nakamura. He wanted to make a rocking chair, so he used bent plywood to make the frame. The veneer moves under the weight of a person, and the person sitting can actually sway a little. Now, however, there is a model in the form of a rocking chair with runner legs.
Furniture with legs will help to visually unload the interior. To give your interior design depth and richness, pay attention not only to the shape, but also to the texture of furniture and accessories: the glossy surface of cabinet fronts in combination with embossed parquet; silk and velvet on pillows, skins, leather - tactile sensations play a big role in creating comfort in the home.
The Poeng armchair from IKEA will fit into almost any interior; it is no less versatile than the Strandmon. There are several types of colors and materials for upholstery and legs: light beige, dark brown birch and black beech veneer. The fabric upholstery is quite calm: even bright colors are muted, and the blue here is not indigo, but a noble dark shade. The leather chair "Poeng" is made in two colors (beige and brown) entirely from natural materials.9 photo
If you like the combination of materials, wooden details and smooth, sophisticated lines, take a closer look at this product. In the light version, Poeng will fit into a Scandinavian living room, and in the dark version, it will suit a modern or even high-tech style. In addition, the upholstery can always be customized.
Folding chairs in the online store Stock Sofas
Folding chairs are very popular among buyers of upholstered furniture, because... no need to buy a chair and bed separately. By purchasing a fairly inexpensive chair, you at the same time purchase a bed with a full-fledged sleeping place, while a number of models of folding chairs allow you to choose the width of the sleeping place from 60 to 90 cm. This solution saves room space and is ideal for children's rooms, small bedrooms, office premises, and also a bed-chair can be placed in the kitchen.
Another use for such a chair is as a guest option. You purchase a set of upholstered furniture - a folding sofa and one or 2 folding chairs and you will no longer have to deal with the problem of accommodating guests for the night - you have a full room of beds, some of which are “hidden” in folding chairs. Also, do not forget about the additional benefit of a folding chair - it is the presence of a drawer for storing things, such as bedding, pillows, etc. The photo below shows, as an example, a classic bed chair that transforms into a sleeping place, which has a drawer for linen:
| The chair-beds presented in our store are distinguished by high quality workmanship, beautiful, fashionable colors, modern transformation mechanisms and reliable fittings. In our store you can buy an inexpensive chair-bed in Moscow, choosing the color of the upholstery fabric to your liking - from classic matting to expensive genuine leather, and also order folding chair-beds made of luxurious velor, practical chenille, original jacquard, etc. Do you know what color chair to choose?
