We have one that is about 25 years old! I don't find it comfy (maybe because I like to tuck my legs up underneath me?), but DH always sits in it, rather than on the sofa (which is squidgy heaven imo Grin ).

We have two but it depends on your height. I am 5'1" and so my head doesn't reach the head rest and I've tried putting cushions behind my back/head but they just slide about. I don't use mine anymore for that reason. DH finds it very comfortable (he's 5'10") and a friend of mind (about the same height) was amazed at how comfortable the Poang was as he suffers from a bad back and after sitting on ours he went and bought one for himself.

Yes, I love it. One of the most comfortable chairs I've ever sat in. Well worth the very reasonable price.

We have one with sheepskin cushions. BF 2 x DC in them and it's still my favourite piece of furniture.

Yes, it is in my living room. I specifically asked for it in my divorce settlement Hahahah! Great chair for sitting reading in.

Another yes vote here! Very comfy and slightly rocking which I love. Used mine as a BF chair.

My DF is trying to sell one on eBay at the mo and not getting any bids though

We have one and a footstool. It was beige but we didnt realise our covers were dry clean only so it went weird after the wash. We got a cheapy box of grey dye from Wilkos and have had it for years since.

Our little girl has the toddler sized one.

I found the slight rocking/bounciness very comfy because I am a fidget, however it's also the feline seat of choice so I never get to sit in the thing these days!

We have had them. Very tall DH liked them, but with a footstool so he could stretch out. I am very very small and used to curl up in chairs, I found them uncomfortable as the frame was always hard and in the way of comfiness. Very good value though, ours lasted for ages despite my best attempts

Ours went "soggy" with age - so dip a lot when you sit in them. Don't like sitting in them for that reason. Veneer on them has also gone.

love mine so much ,it was 1 of the few pieces of furniture that survived the purge when i downsized. The cover is washable and i lengthened the tie back on the neck cushion and brought it lower for my height. I just added an extra cushion under the seat also.

Ok for a short time and good for a short time but a proper armchair or sofa are much more comfortable.

I only sit on ours when we have guests. It would never be my first choice seat.

Comfortable if you are 5'3" and small. Great for the back support. Not comfortable if you are are taller or wider, very hard to get in and out of

I've washed mine, no issues
