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.

The Large Moon Chair Guide

If you are in the process of choosing a moon chair, there are a couple of things that you need to consider.  These include the size of the chair, the style and color, and texture of the material.  Moon chairs are great for all kinds of situations; you definitely need to choose one that is built for your size.  Let’s take a look at the chairs available.

One thing that you should know about these products is that while there are so-called adult moon chairs, they really only are meant for people up to a certain weight.  Most of the large moon chairs can handle up to 250 pounds.  These days, a large portion of society weighs more than that, so if that includes you, I would look for another type of chair.  Even the largest moon chairs, which is the Papasan Roundabout chair is only rated to hold 250 pounds.  The reason why a large moon chair can’t hold so much weight is because of the way the frame is designed.  While the sides are supported by the frame, the middle isn’t, and that is where most of the weight is concentrated.  The curved metal frame can only handle so much before it buckles.

Large Moon Chair Styles
There are a couple of different styles of moon chairs.  Basically, moon chairs for adults fall into two main categories:  Cheap ones and more luxurious models.  The Cheap moon chairs cost around $40 and work just fine. They are simple chairs, and work great both inside and out.  If you are looking for a moon chair that you can pack up and take with you wherever you need it, a cheaper one is the way to go.  They come in many colors, including red, black, brown, teal, green, and blue.  In addition, you can get a corduroy moon chair that adds a bit more comfort and texture for an inexpensive price.

If you are looking for a nice looking moon chair that will look great in the living room and feel luxuriously comfortable, I recommend getting one of the better models.  They cost a bit more, but the cushion and style is well worth the price.  Also known as a papasan chair, roundabout chair or an oval chair, the deluxe versions feature a way better cover.  The difference is that the cover is filled with microfiber, and is plump and plush.  While the inexpensive moon chairs have covers that can’t really come off, these covers come right off for cleaning and hanging in the sun.

Are you having a difficult time deciding whether to get a simple, cheap moon chair or a more elaborate style that costs more, consider this:  Inexpensive moon chairs are great for the outdoors, or in rooms where you don’t care about having a simple piece of furniture like this in it.  They work great for kids or teenager rooms, and are wonderful for playing video games in.


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.

Our Most Popular Moon Chairs

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:
