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:

• Disney’s cars moon chairs:  They come in two different designs from the popular cartoon movie which most boys love
• Disney toy story moon chair:  Popular for over a decade now!
• Pirates moon chair:  From the immensely famous Pirates of the Caribbean movie with Johnny Depp
  WWE wrestling moon chair:  Suitable for older children who love wrestling

Moon Chairs for Girls

For the little girls, there is no question that the most popular characters are the Disney Princesses.  If you are looking for that special chair for a little girl, here are your choices:

• Disney Princess Kids Moon Chair:  Has the three most popular Disney princesses on it: Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella.
• Disney Ariel Moon chair:  From the Little Mermaid movie
• Dora the Explorer Moon Chair:  The #1 toddler’s television show.  There are a few different versions of the chair.
• Disney Fairies Moon Chair:  There are a few different versions of this one as well, with all of the Disney Fairies on them.
• High School Musical Moon Chair:  Great for older girls who are a bit old for the cartoons.

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 for Adults

If you are looking for a really comfortable chair for a low price, then you should really consider getting a moon chair. Although many people consider moon chairs to be just for kids, there are some wonderful ones that are made specifically for us big people as well.  There are a few different styles and varieties, so let’s take a look at some of them.

The first thing that differentiates moon chairs for adults from those for the kiddies is the size.  While a heavy adult would probably break the frame of a children’s chair, those meant for grownups can usually hold about 250 pounds.  There are a couple different ways that moon chair frames come. The most common one is made of steel, although it is possible to get a wicker moon chair as well.  The wicker ones definitely look a bit more stylish.

Many people have seen these moon chairs before, but don’t realize just how comfortable they are.  While normal chairs and sofas are great for certain things, in my opinion nothing beats a moon chair for just relaxing and reading a good book or watching a movie.  Good adult moon chairs will have a built-in cushion in the upper portion of the chair where your head rests.

Where to use a Moon Chair
One of the greatest things about moon chairs is that they are so easy to take with you on the road.  These comfortable chairs fold right up and fit inside a little carrying bag, which is usually included.  I know there are a lot of choices for outdoor lounge chairs that you can take to a sports game, picnic, camping, or even right in your backyard.  While others may feature nifty cup holders and what not, a large moon chair for adults is by far the best option for really relaxing in.  Since there is full head support, it is very easy to just fall asleep and take a nap in them.

Some people choose to just put one or two of these moon chairs in the living room, since they are so great for relaxing in.  If you are going to do this, it is wise to consider the color of the chair before you buy it.  Look at your living room and try to find a moon chair that matches the colors that are already there.  Many people have dark sofas and wooden furniture, and brown or black matches well.  If you want to add a bit more color, try a green moon chair, or even a red one, which believe it or not fits in well with most other colors.
Adult Moon Chair Prices
Arguably the best feature of these moon chairs is their low price.  For the comfort and versatility you get with these chairs that you can take anywhere, they sure come with a small price tag.  Most moon chairs for adults cost between $30 and $40, with a few that are a bit more expensive.  Sure, you can get those camp chairs at big box stores for a couple bucks less, but the difference is that they don’t have head support, and thus aren’t too comfy for napping 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:

Moon Chairs for Boys

• Disney Cars Moon Chair:  This one comes in two different styles
• Pirates Moon Chair
• Star Wars Moon Chair

• WWE Wrestling Moon Chair:  Perfect for the older boy who loves wrestling!

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.

The Butterfly Chair and Butterfly Chair Cover

If you like moon chairs, you might want to consider getting what is known as a butterfly chair. These chairs are similarly shaped, but they have wings in them like a butterfly. Some people actually prefer them to the round version. There are a few main differences though, and you should be aware of them.
The main difference is that a butterfly chair is mostly good for just sitting in. In fact, it looks a lot like normal camp chairs. They are lightweight, fold up easily for quick transport, and set up in a snap. The shape of butterfly chairs is more upright than moon or saucer chairs, which means that they are better for sitting upright. While it is true that you can recline a little, the truth is that most of these chairs aren’t big enough for you to really spread out and sink into like a moon chair.
Depending on where you are planning to use the chair, it might be just what you are looking for. Some chairs are designed for smaller people, and others are meant to be used by adults. Camp chairs are everywhere these days, and you can use a butterfly chair for that purpose as well. Many people just set them up in the garden or backyard and use it for lounging around on a nice warm day outside. Other people keep a few of them in their car so that they will have a nice and comfy place to relax wherever they happen to be.

Of course, it is completely fine to just get one for your teenager’s bedroom to give them a cool and comfortable place to relax.
As far as designs go, butterfly chairs come in all kinds of colors and designs. Depending on who is going to be one who sits in it, you can choose from all kinds of styles. Solid colors like red, pink, black, blue, and green are very popular. You can even get a fuzzy butterfly chair, which has a textured surface made out of faux fur. Whatever style you choose, make sure you take a close look at the dimensions of the chair you are about to buy. These chairs come in lots of different sizes, depending on the manufacturer.

The last thing you want to do is buy a butterfly chair only to find out that it is way too small to comfortably sit in it. If you need to, get out a tape measure and compare the measurements to a kitchen chair you have in your home to get a good idea of how big it is going to be.

Butterfly Chair Covers

Once your butterfly chair has been used for a while, it may start to look a bit worn.  This is especially true if your butterfly chair is outside where the sun constantly shining on it will cause the fabric to fade.  Fortunately, it is pretty easy to get a butterfly chair replacement cover and make your chair look new again.  The main thing to know when getting a new butterfly chair cover is to make sure you get the right size.  The most common brand that people buy is an Algoma Butterfly Chair, and this company also sells covers for their chairs.  Other brands sell covers as well, and they are meant to fit on any standard sized chair.
