The Ikea Poäng is 40 this year.

 

We have two. A knackered one that’s 20 years old. It’s moved house, done a stint in the loft and been recovered countless times. It’s currently a very fetching jade and beige velour stripe. Last week we got a pink one with a matching footstool. I did a full squeal when we got it. I love it, the dog loves it, everyone in the house loves it so you have to plant your bum quickly and firmly.

 

They are inexpensive, well made and comfy. They do a range of colours and if you’ve got the skills they are customisable. Grab a brew, a book and a blanket and relax.
