Ikea's Lightweight Inflatable Chair Passes the Cat Test

Ikea’s PS 2026 Easy Chair is a $200 inflatable armchair built around a tubular frame with a dual-chamber air seat, pumped by a foot pump and wrapped in a fabric layer for comfort. Weighing about 8 kg (18 lb) and packing into a six-inch-thick box, it marks Ikea’s return to inflatable furniture after earlier failures and has reportedly withstood cat testing as well as human testing, signaling potential future air-filled products beyond this chair.
