Saucer Chairs for Adults

When most people think of the saucer chair, they associate it with something for kids. The fact is, a saucer chair for adults is great as well, for the same reasons that make the children’s models so popular. These chairs are sometimes referred to as papasan chairs, moon chairs, or even sphere chairs, but the design is essentially the same.
What makes saucer chairs for adults different than those for kids? The design 
is pretty much the same, but the frame of the chairs is a lot stronger, since it needs to handle much more weight. Kids’ chairs can hold between 80 and 100 pounds, while adult saucer chairs have a weight limit of 250 pounds usually. Frames are most often constructed out of steel, although a wicker framed chair can be found if you look around.
Most adults might have noticed saucer chairs, but haven’t had the opportunity to try one out. What makes them so comfortable is the support that they give the back, neck, and head. When all of these are supported, your body’s muscles can truly relax and rest. This isn’t the case with a normal chair, since your neck muscles are constantly in use keeping your head upright. The better adult saucer chairs have thick, padded cushions that offer the ultimate in comfort.
Where to Put a Saucer Chair
There are two different styles of saucer chairs for adults, and they differ a bit in their versatility. One type folds flat easily and packs into a bag to take with you in the car easily. The other kind is meant to stay in one place and isn’t so portable. If you are looking for a chair that you can easily tote around to the park or the campground, I would definitely choose the portable kind. While they might not come with great padded cushions like the home models, they are still soft and comfy. Besides, they are still way, way more comfortable than nearly all of the other camp chairs available.
On the other hand, if you are going to only use your saucer chair at home, it is smart to choose one with lots of padding, preferably with a removable cushion. This type can’t be taken on the road as easily, but it will be an attractive and comfortable chair.
When choosing a saucer chair for your home, consider the color and style so it will fit in well with your existing furniture. If you are putting it in the living room, the most popular colors are black, brown, and red, since these colors tend to match most other décor. If the saucer chair is for your bedroom, you can probably get away with something a bit brighter, such as a purple or blue saucer chair.
Adult Saucer Chair Prices
One of the greatest things about these adult saucer chairs is the price. If you just want something simple and easy to fold up and take with you, you only need to pay about $40. These do cost a little more than those camp-chairs that you see everywhere, but they are completely different and more comfortable. You can’t really take a nap in a camp chair without ending up with a sore back. A saucer chair is great for a nap, since it keeps you off the ground. For something a bit more comfortable and stylish, expect to pay between $80 and $140 or so. In my opinion, this is still a great deal considering most other home furniture costs more than this and isn’t even as comfortable!
Wicker Saucer Chairs

Although saucer chairs that are meant for the outdoors are great, sometimes people are looking for something a bit more special. If you like the look and comfort of a round chair, a wicker chair with a similar design is a great idea. While the usual moon chairs are pretty common, those made out of wicker are a bit tougher to find. Fortunately, we have found a few of them for you. The chairs featured below are virtually the only wicker papasan chairs that you are likely to find, since they are not very common at all. They are hand made of natural fibers using quality materials and craftsmanship, which means that your chair will both look great and be very comfortable to relax in.

Stained Double-frame Micro Suede Papasan Chair
The next option is the Trully Outdoor Wicker Swing Chair. This chair is a work of art in itself, and although it takes up a lot of room, will look 
fantastic on your patio or in the backyard. What makes this wicker saucer chair unique is that although it has the same shape as the other chairs, it is suspended from a chain and swings freely in the air. It comes with a very sturdy base and chain, so there is very little risk of falling. An added benefit is that you will be able to gently rock, which as anyone who has spent some time in a hammock knows is a great feeling.
The manufacturer of this chair actually makes two different models. The first one is round and the other one is shaped like a tear drop. Both are very similar, and your choice will depend on which style you like. As far as comfort goes, these chairs can be as hard or as soft as you want them to be. If you live in a very hot climate, wicker furniture has the advantage of letting air flow through. Some people actually like the feeling of a firm chair, and a wicker moon chair with no cushion on it would suit them just fine. In cooler places, getting a cushion and a pillow for your chair is a great idea. Pretty much any large round cushion or a few normal sized pillows will do the trick.
The above mentioned swinging wicker chairs retail for around $400, which seems like a lot of money but is cheap compared to other chairs like it. Take 
the Urban Balance Cove Hanging Chair for example. Also called an outback chair, it is pretty similar to the Trully chairs, but has a tighter weave. The difference is that it doesn’t come with a base to hang it from, which means that you will have to hang it from something yourself. Some people want to hang their chair from a tree or the support beam on the porch. Be aware that you can get the Trully chair and not even use the base. You can take the chair itself and hang it by its chain wherever you want. As for price, this outback chair gives you 5 free pillows, but with a price tag of around $1,500 it definitely isn’t inexpensive. Take a look at this cool chair here.
Saucer Chairs for Kids

When it comes to choosing a little chair for a kid to sit on, the saucer chair is definitely among the best. There are a number of reasons why these kids saucer chairs are a great choice. First, the way they are designed makes them very comfortable. Their back, neck, and head have full support, which makes them ideal for reading a book, watching cartoons, or simply taking a nap.
The second reason why saucer chairs for kids are a wise choice is because they are very good value. While most of the chairs are decorated with great logos from companies like Disney, Pixar, and other famous TV characters, they are priced surprisingly inexpensive. You can get most of these kids’ saucer chairs for around $25. This is about what you would pay for any other type of kids’ chair, except saucer chairs have cool designs and are much more comfy.
Saucer Chair Safety
Some people wonder if saucer chairs for kids are safe enough for their little one to sit in. While adult versions are very safe, there are differences when it comes to kids chairs. Actually, it isn’t the chair itself that causes problems. The issue is that children tend to squirm a lot and climb around on things, and a saucer chair can tip over. That said, they aren’t really any more unstable than any other type of chair, and the fact that saucer chairs sit so low on the ground means that even if they fall over, they are just inches above the ground.
Another question people sometimes ask is how old should a child be before they can sit in a seat like this. Most saucer chair manufacturers recommend them for children who are 2 years old and over. As far as weight goes, the small chairs have a weight limit of 80 pounds. There are some other chairs, such as the WWF saucer chair has a weight limit of 150 pounds, as does the Star Wars saucer chair.
The Most Popular Kids Saucer Chairs
While it isn’t very hard to find a saucer chair that a 2 year old child will love, the older ones can be a bit pickier. If you are wondering which one you should choose, here is a tip. If your kid is watching cartoons or movies, chances are he or she will love one of characters. Here are the most popular saucer chairs for girls:
