Moon Chairs

Moon Chairs: Great for Adults and Kids

Who would have thought that such a simple design for a chair would turn out to be so popular? As it turns out, moon chairs are absolutely wonderful for relaxing, reading a book, or watching TV. Although they aren’t the fanciest looking chairs in the world, they sure are comfortable. Despite their casual appearance, you can get a moon chair in any number of designs.

Additionally, there are moon chairs that are designed specifically for adults, or a smaller one meant for children. You might have heard these chairs called by another name, but they are all the same. Other names include the saucer chair and the sphere chair. All three of them are named after their cool shape.

One of the best things about these chairs is that you can fold them up and store them in the closet if you want. As for cleaning, some moon chair covers can come off easily, and some can’t. You will need to check with the manufacturer before buying to see if yours will come off. This is an important factor, since eventually the fabric cover will get dirty and need washing. It is a lot simpler if you can just remove it and toss it into the washing machine. Try doing this with a normal chair! As for buying these chairs, if you try shopping at a local store, chances are that you will only have a couple of options. Shopping on the internet, on the other hand, will allow you to choose from any of the dozens of styles that are made from various manufacturers. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular moon chairs that are available.

Moon Chairs for Adults
Although many people picture kids sitting on moon chairs, there are actually plenty of moon chairs for adults. As you might have guessed, the ones designed for adults don’t usually have crazy cartoon pictures on them, and most of them are in darker, toned-down colors. You can get a large moon chair in the following colors: brown, black, pink, green, teal, blue, and camouflage.

A company named Tofasco makes a large moon chair that has a different kind of cover on it. Instead of a smooth fabric cover, theirs is corduroy, which in my opinion kind of adds to the comfort. Their chairs are plenty big enough for adults to sit in, and the sturdy steel frame has a weight limit of 250 pounds. The corduroy version is called a fuzzy moon chair, because of the fabric.

Due to their light weight and fold-up convenience, many people actually take an adult moon chair with them camping, or use it outside on the patio or lawn. They are actually cheaper than a lot of camp chairs and after a long day outside, it feels great to be able to relax in one of these chairs and recline, instead of hunching over on a wooden bench or log! The famous outdoor company, Cabela’s makes their own version for outdoor use. Cabela’s moon chair has a camouflage patterned cover, and a few extra perks that other chairs like this don’t come with. For one, it has a padded seat, and in the upper part its headrest has a built-in pillow. If you don’t care about what company made it, you can just get a cheap green moon chair or something like that for about $40.

If you are looking for moon chairs for teens, they are pretty much the same ones as those that you would buy for adults, since kids grow up so quickly during these years. If you are looking for a present for your teenage kid, large moon chairs are great for a few reasons. First, they are inexpensive, so if they get trashed, you can just toss it and get a new one after a few years. Second, they are perfect for just hanging out, which seems to be what teenagers do best! The only difference is probably going to be in the color. Teenage girls will probably like one of the brighter colors like pink or teal for their room.

Moon Chairs for Kids
Children especially love moon chairs, and if you get one of them for your kid, I can guarantee you that they will log some serious hours sitting in it. Chances are they will fall asleep in there too. The good thing about moon chairs for kids is they come in colors and styles that children love. It doesn’t matter if you have a boy or girl, there is surely a design that will suit them. Here are some of the most popular ones:
Moon Chairs for Boys

Disney Cars Moon Chair: This one comes in two different styles
Pirates Moon Chair
Star Wars Moon Chair
Diego Mini Moon Chair
Shrek Moon Chair
WWE Wrestling Moon Chair: Perfect for the older boy who loves wrestling!
Shrek Moon Chair

Pretty much all of these chairs come with their own little carrying case, and they fold up nicely so you can take it with you. These are great for when your toddler needs a nap at the park, the beach, or whenever you are away from home. Alternatively, use it in the living room for a perfect place for your little guy to enjoy some quiet time. Pretty much all of these saucer chairs for boys cost between $20 and $30. The exception is the Star Wars version, which costs a little more.

Moon Chairs for Girls

Disney Princess Moon Chair
Bratz Moon Chair
Tinkerbell Moon Chair
High School Musical Moon Chair: Great for older girls

If your little girl needs her own special place to sit, do both of you a favor and get her one of these. The pictures on these saucer chairs for girls will make her feel special and she will enjoy reading and relaxing in her own special place.

The Search for a King Size Large Moon Chair

Let’s face it, when it comes to moon chairs, bigger is definitely better. While there are plenty of cheaper chairs available, you have to watch out for them sometimes because they tend to be too small to be really comfortable. If you haven’t seen one of the really large sphere chairs, you really should. The next time you are in a large department or furniture store, look for one of them and sit down. The bigger the chair, the more comfortable it is going to be. In addition to the size, the cushion makes a difference as well. A quality chair will come with a luxuriously soft cushion.
There are a few different companies that make king-sized large moon chairs. One of them is called Directions East, which has some of the best models to choose from. The dimensions of these chairs are 31 inches high, 42 inches wide, and 36 inches deep. If you are having a hard time conceptualizing these numbers, it is more than three feet across, which is quite big. The good thing about the Directions East chairs is that their microfiber cushions are very soft. You can choose from red, black, beige, or another color. Of course, getting a chair that is this big and comfortable means that you will need to pay around a hundred dollars or so. This is actually a fair price, because these large moon chairs look so great that you can put one or two of them right in the living room and they won’t look out of place. In fact, they will probably be the seat that visitors head for first.
If you don’t want to spend that much money on a moon chair, there are cheaper options as well. For around $40, you can get a large saucer chair from a company called Tofasco. They are actually a little bit bigger than the chairs mentioned above, but they aren’t constructed as well. If you only want to spend a little bit of money, they should work fine, but they don’t look or feel as good as the more expensive chairs. The biggest reason for this is that the cushion is made out of foam instead of microfiber, which makes a big difference. Nonetheless, it is a solid chair that should work fine as long as you don’t have children climbing on it all day!
If you are looking for something designed to be used outside, take a look at the chairs made by a company called Blazing Needles. They make a large wicker moon chair that is made for outdoor use. These chairs are so big that they are meant for two people to sit in, like a loveseat. Unlike most of the other moon chairs, the base is made out of durable wicker, which looks nice on a patio or backyard. As far as the cushion goes, it is really plush and soft as well, made out of quality materials. You can even choose the color and design of the cushion from the dozen or so choices they have available.

Moon Chairs for Designer Spaces

Although there are definitely plenty of cheap moon chairs around, there are some very nice ones on the market as well. While one of the cheaper models might look fine in a teenager’s bedroom or on the patio, many people are reluctant to use them in the living room for fear of detracting from the ambiance. The truth is that there are some moon chairs that will look absolutely stunning pretty much anywhere you put them. Let’s take a look at what sets these chairs apart.
The first thing that you should know is that these chairs often have a different name, although the shape and design is the same. Depending on the manufacturer, they may be called round chairs, papasan chairs, roundabout chairs, or even oval chairs. Regardless of the name, they all share the same basic design structure.
There are three things that set high quality models apart from their cheaper counterparts: Size, comfort, and style. As far as size goes, when you are talking about moon chairs bigger is definitely better. A large moon chair will allow you to stretch out more, put your feet up, and completely sink in. The smaller models may be great for folding up and taking on the road, but they just aren’t as comfortable. The largest moon chairs are nearly 4 feet across, which should be plenty wide enough to settle into.
Arguably the most important thing that a moon chair should have is a nice and soft cushion. Portable camping models don’t even come with a separate cushion at all, so they shouldn’t even be considered if your main concern is comfort. High end papasan chairs usually come with a really soft, microfiber cushion that is removable. There is only one way to find out which chair is the most comfortable, and that is to try them out. Even if you are going to shop around and perhaps buy one on the internet, it is wise to test some chairs out at a department store first. High end furniture stores might not carry these chairs, but a store like Ikea most likely will. The big box stores like Wal-Mart may have some as well, but the quality might be inferior.
If you are going to have your moon chair sitting in the living room, you should definitely choose one that looks stylish. Although the colors in your sitting area may vary, it is likely that either a red, black, brown, or tan chair will fit in nicely. Red seems to work well if you have white or black sofas and other furniture, and it gives the room a bit of color. Likewise, a black moon chair will offset white couches nicely. If you want to go with a more neutral color that blends in more than it sticks out, you might want to consider light brown.
Expect to pay somewhere in the range of $100 or more for a designer moon chair. While this may sound expensive the truth is that these quality chairs are a bargain compared to loveseats and other lounge furniture. In addition, they will last quite a long time and are easier to clean. Take a look at some of the best ones here.

Moon Chairs for Girls

Little girls need a special place to sit and have some quiet time. Maybe read a book. Maybe watch a Disney movie. Or perhaps just sit back, drink a bottle, and then take a nap. While there are all kinds of little seats that are meant for girls, in my opinion one of the best options is a moon chair. If you don’t know what moon chairs are, they are round chairs that have a sturdy metal (or sometimes wicker) frame underneath. There are all kinds of sizes, some meant for adults, and some for kids. Moon chairs for girls are a great choice because they come with fantastic looking designs on them that every girl will love. You can choose from many of the popular Disney and TV characters. Another great feature of these little moon chairs is that they all fold flat, and come with their own little carrying case. These come in really handy when you are outside at the park, soccer game, or beach and your kid needs to take a nap. No more lying on a towel in the dirt! They will just pass out in the chair for a rest.

If you are having a hard time deciding which one your little daughter will like, why not bring her over to the computer and show her the options? Here are the most popular moon chairs for girls:

Disney Fairies Moon Chair

Pretty much any little girl will love this one, with its purple color and pictures of Tinkerbell and her friends on it. The chair can hold 80 pounds.

Disney Princess Moon Chair

This one is pink with Cinderella, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty on it. Like the Fairies saucer chair, this one should suit pretty much any little girl.

Dora Moon Chair

From the crazy-popular TV show Dora, this is a great one for little girls. It is pink and purple with a nice picture of Dora and her friend Boots the monkey.

Disney Ariel Moon Chair

The Ariel moon chair is still amazingly popular with little kids, thanks to the Disney movie, cartoon, and songs. The good thing about this chair is that it has Ariel’s little lobster friend attached to the top.

High School Musical Moon Chair

If you are looking for a chair that will appeal to a girl that is a little old for Dora and Disney princesses, consider this one. It is pink with the characters on the cover. Since it is meant for older girls, it is a little bigger than the other ones too.

Moon Chair for Girls Buying Guide

There are a few things to consider before buying your daughter a moon chair. The first question many parents ask is how old do kids need to be before they can use one of these chairs. Most manufacturers say that their chairs are meant for kids who are at least 1 year old. While you can put a 1 year old in the chair, you should watch them closely, since some of these chairs may fall over if the kid tries to climb around in them by themselves. A moon chair for girls is normally strong enough to hold around 80 pounds, which is plenty strong enough for most kids under 6 or so. Once kids get too big for these chairs, you should get them a moon chair meant for teens and adults. They probably won’t want to sit in a Dora chair by then anyway! By the way, another name for them is saucer chairs. They are the exact same thing.

Many buyers wonder if you can take the cover off of the chairs to clean them. While some of the better moon chairs for adults allow this, the inexpensive little ones for kids have covers that can’t come off. To clean them, simply scrub them with a wet sponge or cloth, and then put them in a sunny spot to dry.

Moon Chairs for Boys

If you want to give your little boy his own special chair to sit on, one of your best options is a moon chair. Also known as saucer chairs or sphere chairs, these round little seats are wonderful for both kids and adults. You might be wondering why that is. The reason is that moon chairs for boys are soft, stable, and provide support for the entire back and head. While other chairs don’t have head support, a moon chair does, so you can see why they are more comfortable than normal seats. All of these chairs fold up flat and most come with a little carrying case. This makes them perfect for taking outdoors or to friends’ homes, as it gives them a familiar place to relax and take a break. Moon chairs for boys come in many different styles, and it will depend on the age of your child and his interests when deciding on which design you should get.

Here are the most popular moon chairs for boys:

Disney’s Cars Moon Chair

From the phenomenally popular “Cars” movie by Disney and Pixar, this chair is sure to be a hit with any little boy. It has Lighting McQueen on the front of it and comes with its own little carrying pouch.

Disney Toy Story Moon Chair

This one is another super Disney hit movie, and pretty much every kid will love the pictures of Woody and his pals. The bright blue color of the chair will appeal to almost all boys.

Diego Moon Chair

From the cartoon TV show “Dora”, this chair features Dora’s sidekick Diego in action. Toddlers seem to really love this show, especially the little ones. Surprisingly, the Diego chair is rated to hold more weight, which means it is constructed a little sturdier than some of the others. It is also a couple of inches bigger.

Pirates Moon Chair

Rrrrrrhhh Matey! The kids’ Pirate moon chair appeals to kids a little bit older who are exploring their sense of adventure. A perfect place to sit while exploring books or watching a movie.

Moon Chairs for Older Boys

WWE Wrestling Moon Chair

Designed for boys who are old enough to watch wrestling, the WWE saucer chair is the place to take a rest after expending all that energy. The chair is blue and has the wrestlers John Cena, Triple H, and Batista. Unlike the other moon chairs for boys, this one is bigger and can hold up to 150 pounds.

Star Wars Moon Chair

This is another great chair for older boys or adults, as it is quite large. The manufacturer says it is for kids ages 5 and older, and can hold up to 200 pounds. It has a cool Darth Vader logo on it.

If you are wondering about the size of these chairs, most of the moon chairs for kids can hold up to 81 pounds (37.77 kg), although the Diego moon chair says it holds up to 100 pounds, which means it will probably hold kids up to 7 years old or so, depending on their weight.. They are suitable for toddlers that are able to climb in and out of seats like this by themselves, and want to have their own special place to relax and read a book, watch cartoons, or take a nap. Most of the chairs say that they are for kids ages from 1 to 4. Once kids get too big, you will probably need to upgrade and get them a moon chair for adults. There are specially made models that will appeal to teenage boys. Some have designs on them, and others are just a solid color. If you want a design, the WWE Wrestling chair is a lot bigger than the other kids’ saucer chairs, and can hold 150 pounds, which is about the weight of your average teenager.

Moon Chairs for Kids

Sometimes it can be pretty tough to find good furniture for children. While every kid has a little bed, chairs are a little different. As soon as a toddler learns how to walk, they need some resting time in a chair. Furniture stores are full of kids’ chairs, but many of these are hard and uncomfortable. One of the best is moon chairs for kids, which are also called a saucer chair. There are a few reasons for this.

First of all, moon chairs for kids are really comfortable. They are designed to provide full body support, including for the head. A kid can really sit back and relax in a moon chair, and can take a nap in one as well. Kids’ moon chairs are made low to the ground so that toddlers can easily climb in and out of them by themselves. The great thing about these kids’ saucer chairs is that they have such great designs that your child will really love it in his room. Perhaps the greatest thing about moon chairs for children is that they are so reasonably priced. Even for great designed models, they usually only cost around $20. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular ones.

Moon Chairs for Boys

For boys, the most popular ones have good cartoon pictures on them. For the really little fellas, the Diego moon chair (Dora the Explorer’s buddy) is a good bet. These are good for kids that are 2 years old and up. Children that are a little older tend to stop watching Dora, so one of the other cartoon characters will work great. Here are the other moon chairs for little boys:
