Sage Green Teddy Velvet Lounge Chair with Ottoman, One Piece Sponge and Machine Washable Covers

Loose beads shift out from under you and settle over a few months, so a bag that started as a chair ends up as a sack. The back gives first, which is exactly where support is needed.

This chair is moulded from a single piece of high resilient sponge with an inclined back built into the shape. There is nothing loose inside to migrate, so the back stays where it was on the day it arrived.

In use, feet up

The chair and ottoman set up as a pair. The seat is low and the back is inclined, so the sitting position is reclined rather than upright. The ottoman sits just in front, and at 8.5 inches tall it lines up with the 15 inch seat to keep your legs roughly level.

Two sets of measurements

Chair 38 inches deep, 30.5 wide, 28.5 high, with a 23.5 inch seat 15 inches off the floor. Ottoman 30.5 by 23.5 inches and 8.5 tall. The depth is the figure worth noting: at 38 inches this chair reaches further into a room than a standard armchair does.

Back angle and seat size

The maker's detail pair. One panel traces the inclined backrest, the other measures the seat at 23.5 by 30.5 inches. That is a wide seat for a single chair, which is what allows sitting sideways with your legs over one edge.

A single block rather than shredded filling, described by the maker as not easy to deform.

Chair and ottoman covers both come off and go in the machine.

The record states the sponge has passed this certification, which tests textiles for harmful substances.

Footstool, side table with a tray, shoe changing stool by the door, or a pet bed.

Grip on the underside of the cover, which is what keeps a legless chair in place.

Both pieces arrive compressed and take about 72 hours to reach their full shape.

Ships from a Canadian warehouse. Free shipping on orders over $150. Some remote areas, PO boxes and surcharge regions may be excluded or cost extra.

Return within 14 days of purchase, unused, in original condition and packaging.

Covered directly by the manufacturer under their warranty terms for material and manufacturing defects.

Sage green in a soft pile sits quietly beside wood and cream without behaving like a statement piece.

A 15 inch seat and an 8.5 inch ottoman keep your legs roughly level, which is what stops the ankles aching.

Both covers unzip, so the pale colour is not a decision you regret after the first spill.

What we stand behind

• Every measurement comes from the manufacturer's own Product Dimensions drawing shown in the photos.
• OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 applies to the sponge as stated in the record, and is a substance test rather than a durability rating.
• No weight capacity, sponge density, carton size or net weight is published, so none is quoted.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150.
• 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

Does the teddy velvet pile flatten?

Short curly pile fabrics crush where weight sits, in the seat and along the front edge. Most of that is compression rather than fibre loss and it lifts with a soft brush. Washing the cover and drying it flat also restores the loft.

Is there a weight limit?

None is published for either piece, so no figure is quoted here. The maker describes the filling as one piece high resilient sponge that is not easy to deform, but that is a description and not a rating.

How much floor space does it need?

The chair alone is 38 inches deep and 30.5 wide, with the ottoman adding another 23.5 inches in front when it is in use. Mark out roughly 30 by 62 inches for the pair set up for lounging.

Why does it arrive flat?

Both pieces are vacuum compressed for shipping, which is what lets a chair this size travel in a manageable carton. Allow about 72 hours on a level floor for the sponge to draw air back in and reach full shape.
