When most people are shopping for living room furniture, they often overlook one of the most comfortable things:  sphere chairs.  Yep, that’s right, sphere chairs.  You might be thinking of that funny round chair you saw someone sitting on during your camping trip.  While the outdoor ones might not be the best looking, the reality is that there are some great looking models that are designed for indoor use.

Indoor sphere chairs are a bit different than those meant to be used outdoors.  First, they have thicker, softer cushions that make them luxuriously soft.  The outdoor ones can’t really have these cushions because if they get wet in the rain they take a long time to dry.  Rain shouldn’t be much of a problem for indoor use though, unless you have a leaky roof!  The second thing that sets an indoor sphere chair collection apart from those meant for the outside is the way they look.  The sphere chairs that are meant to be placed in your living room are designed really nicely.  In fact, having one beside your sofa can look really great.

You might be wondering how you should decide which color and style to choose.  For the most part, sphere chairs that you are going to have in your living room should be a solid color.  The color that you choose will depend on the surroundings.  Many people have black or white sofas, and in this case a black sphere chair would match the décor pretty well.  A red sphere chair would contrast nicely as well, adding some color to the room.  Although you might be tempted to buy something like a pink sphere chair, only do so if you think that bright color will match the other furniture.  Having said that, if you are buying one of these for your bedroom or den, you can pretty much choose any color that you want, since guests will rarely see them anyway.

Sphere Chair Prices
Many people choose these chairs because they think they are cheap. The reality is that the cheap sphere chairs are great for outdoor use, but if you really want something that looks great and is comfortable, you are going to have to spend a little more money.  An inexpensive folding sphere chair that costs around $40 is easy to find, and this type will just work fine.  If you are willing to part with $100 or so though, you can get a truly fantastic one that you will truly melt into.

What is it about these round chairs that have captivated people around the world?  Sphere chairs are popular for a number of reasons.  First, anyone who has had the pleasure of slinking into one of these chairs knows how comfortable they are.  The second reason is because pretty much anybody can use them, from little toddlers to the elderly.  As for style, you can get them in any number of colors, or with cool designs on them for the kids.  Finally, a sphere chair can be folded up flat and taken with you wherever you go.  You might have heard them called by a different name, such as moon chairs or saucer chairs.  Regardless of how you call them, they are all the same type.  Here is what you need to know about these chairs.

Adult Sphere Chairs

Sphere chairs for adults are built to give you maxim comfort for relaxing, both indoors and outdoors.  Depending on where you are going to use it, you should choose a chair that is meant for this purpose.  Some of them are designed for indoor use, and these ones have thick, fluffy, cushions that you can really sink into.  This type may be luxuriously soft and great for indoor use, but if it gets rained on outdoors you might have some trouble drying it out and cleaning it.  Nevertheless, if you are going to use your chair inside few pieces of furniture can rival a soft microfiber sphere chair in comfort.

If you are going to use your sphere chair primarily outside, I highly recommend getting one that is made specifically for this.  These chairs might not be quite as comfortable as their indoor counterparts, but they dry quickly after getting soaked, are lightweight for easy portability, and are simple to clean.  If you are getting something to sit on when you are camping, at a picnic, or even just hanging out in your backyard, I highly recommend one of these sphere chairs.  By the way, if you were wondering if there is a weight limit to these chairs, the answer is yes.  Although different models vary a little bit, most adult sphere chairs can handle weights up to 250 pounds; although there are a few that can handle 300 pounds.  The reason why they can’t hold as much as normal chairs is because of the way they are designed.

As for the choice of colors, you can find them in a wide range that should suit everyone.  A teenage girl might love a pink sphere chair, but an adult might think a black sphere chair is more her style.  The colors aren’t the only options that you have either.  You can actually get a corduroy sphere chair, which has a corduroy-textured cushion that is very comfy.

The styles don’t stop at solid colors though.  There are some great designed sphere chairs for adults.  There is a whole line of logo sphere chairs, including the LSU sphere chair and pretty much every other college and NFL team’s design.

Kids Sphere Chairs

While the adult models may be great, a kids sphere chair is really cool.  The smallest ones are designed for toddlers who are two years old, and get bigger from there.  The best part about these little kiddie chairs is their cool designs.  You can find all of the most popular cartoon and kids’ movie characters on the chairs.  Some of the best ones are the Dora, Disney Princesses, Cars, Pirates, and the Camp Rock sphere chair.

If you are looking for a chair for an older child or teenager, they will probably like one with a bright solid color.  Popular sphere chairs for girls are red, pink, and purple.  A teenage boy might like an orange, green or brown sphere chair, depending on if they like bright or dark colors.
