hey mate exactly I have the same problem, this is the problem of this fake leather material (but still better than the itchy material of other chairs) the one from Ikea is fine but little bit too small for my bottom (it is 37x37 cm) like you said it is not good to buy one that is too thick because then the lumbar support will be useless basically the Ikea one is also meant as a sitting mat when your are hiking to take with you something like that is good because it is not too thick but buy a little bit wider one how about something like this for example? amzn.to/3wxEKGM I just put a towel but it does not look so good and sometimes it falls down which is annoying, but it resolves the stickiness problem and it also protects the fake leather from getting destroyed over time

Do you think there is a need for a foam pillow or just a coating is enough? In case what pillow would you recommend?
@workingathome
3 жыл бұрын
hey, a coating is enough but of course a little bit of cushioning is helpful. In the video I use the cheapest one from Ikea but it is more on the smaller side. I tried a thicker one like this one: amzn.to/3Ecwqim but the problem is that although it is very comfy I was sitting too high and the lumbar support did not work anymore. It can have a little bit cushioning inside this is an advantage but not like a thick foam pillow. I would pick any from Amazon that is not too thick and little bit wider than the 37x37cm the Ikea one has. The main function for me is to preserve the fake leather material, also if I am sitting on it in my shorts the fake leather is kind of sticky esp. in summer. I know it from my eating room it was the same material and it is already peeling off which is a shame, but now we just put dark blankets on it and it looks nice again (but my girlfriend wanted to buy everything new of course). The same is true for my headphones. I would not say it is a bad material, because basically you have the choice between this material which is sticky but nice to the skin or the fabric material which can be a little itchy (or real leather of course). If you don't mind you can also put a towel on the chair, it will not look so fancy but it does the job esp. when it is more hot...

@workingathome
3 жыл бұрын
Hi yess, I would still recommend it. I use it every day and it helped me get rid of my back pain. I would definitely recommend to use armrest pads, a neck cushion pillow and a seat pad/mat because these makes it much more comfortable (the armrest pads are more compressed now but still work). The back is maybe hard for some people but for me it is fine and comfortable enough, it is more or less the same as with the Markus. I think all in all it is a big improvement over the Markus if you like the aesthetics. Just be careful when you are a smaller person or very tall, because it is an ergonomic chair it is not possible to make a chair with one size that fits all, but for my 178cm no problems with that (try it out at your local Ikea if possible). I am now thinking about upgrading my desk so it also something to consider if the color of the desk matches the chair. The Matchspel was also available in white but I like the darker color for a chair, but I don't want a black desk even though this would be the perfect match...

this is strange, I tried pushing back and even if I try hard it is not possible. Also I think it is not possible to assemble it in a way so that this can happen. I guess your unit is defective and you need to exchange it, maybe they can just swap the back part IDK you will have to ask them

Same issue here, I'm going to I guess exchange it and see if I get a better one. From trying to look at videos and pictures of others, it seems like the bend of the metal spine is too concave. I could see this being something that could easily be mistakenly passed over in manufacturing/QA. Measuring the distance between the edge of the metal and the mesh, I get 3/4 of an inch. So not even a full inch of space between, BEFORE sitting back into the mesh.

@workingathome
3 жыл бұрын
hey mate, which seat cushion you mean? I have a seat cushion because the artificial leather does not hold well over time and I want to protect it. You can buy a thicker seat cushion but if you buy one that is too thick the lumbar support will not work anymore. Spring adjustment is available on the cheaper Ikea models. But you are right I agree that it is made to be cheap but at the same time provide for the best value so I also have to disagree. If you check out other furniture stores they will offer chairs just with a single point tilt for a much higher price... if you prefer that go ahead ;-) this is much worse than what this Ikea chair has, so why you think it is better? please explain. But I think they should not market it as sync tilt because this is not 100% true.

The seat on the Matchspel isn't as wide as the Markus. I wouldn't get the Utespelare. It's very thin and hard and it feels like sitting on cardboard when I tried it out.
