With BERGMUND, Anders and the team studied new research to develop the shape of the seat and to find the optimal angle between the seat and the backrest. This resulted in several interesting insights about the human body – for example that the sit bones of all humans are actually very similar. "It’s true, regardless if someone is 1.85 metres tall or much shorter. So the bowl-shaped bottom of the seat was given a geometry that fits 99% of the world's population.”

Reviews
Bergman’s Bar StoolLanceGreat looking and very comfortable.
Sturdy and comfyLinaBought this recently to sit near my island bench.
Hight is perfect to go with IKEA kitchen.
Very sturdy, it does not feel like you are going to fall if you lean back. Feels safe, so allows for good relaxing time.
It's so comfortable that even grandma sat on it for hours ,instead of going to sofa while doing her puzzles ;)
Beautiful and SturdyJoeGreat solid stool. Excellent finish.
Very comfortableLeonoraPerfect height for my kitchen island. Easy to put together except for that part that needs an electric drill to screw on
Looks great and does the jobDennisEasy to put together, the cover doesn't fit as snug as it could, and 2 out of the 3 chairs are not level and have a wobble
Not really goodEdwardThis chair looks very nice, but the whole package didn't include appropriate tools to assemble. It include a special screw head but you need a handle to put it on. That means you need to spend $15 to get the tool set from Ikea if you can't find same handle from other hardware stores
Very comfortable, easy to assemble. Corinna5 stars I wanted something comfortable to use with my Ikea Vadholma island the Bergmund is a perfect fit. Not many parts so very easy to put together. Highly recommend. They're rated to 120 kilos so strong and sturdy.
great stool with backrestAnaThis is a great stool and so comfortable for the price. We have had our for over 10 years and love that you can purchase covers separately
Comfortable stoolMariaComfortable stools. Being able to remove the covers and wash them is handy. I bought 3 and 1 of them is a bit wobbly (maybe the legs are just slightly different lengths) but they are otherwise great.
Great bar stoolsBrookeReally sturdy and great to sit on, really happy with my purchase.
Nice height and comfortableSFour star because you really need some effort to screw the screws in to secure the legs. There must be a better way 'IKEA' way to assemble the legs together
Bar heigh chairRoseLove these chairs, great look and quality and you can get different covers if you want. I bought 2 earlier and needed a third.
Comfortable and value for moneyCarolineThe chairs were easy to assemble with clear instructions. The choice of washable covers would complement any kitchen and they are very comfortable to sit on. It's a good idea to get the floor protectors ($1 for a packet) so that they glide across the tiled floor.
Ultra sturdyMarkThis is a great quality chair, ultra sturdy with absolutely no wobble. Fits our breakfast bar perfectly.
Comfortable & easy to changeDannielleComfortable & easy to change covers

Story
Innovation works wonders for your comfort
BERGMUND was created so that you can sit a little longer on your chair – without your legs starting to feel stiff or your back aching. To succeed, we dove into new research on the human body, looked for optimal angles and developed a new technique to get a really comfortable seat.
Sitting may not seem like an active movement, but it actually involves everything from the body's bones and muscles to tendons, cartilage and joints. "So that you sit comfortably for longer, it’s important that the body enjoys the right support in the right place", explains material developer Anders Bergner.
Our key common trait – sit bones
Innovation paves a way for more comfort
The polyester in the seat’s padding and backrest comprises of small vertical fibres which provide better elasticity compared to fibres which are more entangled. Anders and his team then developed an innovative technique to further increase the seating comfort by shaping the seat’s padding. “It compares to making a waffle. The polyester fibres are fed into a special tool where the correct shape fixes in place.” After several years of development, Anders hopes that BERGMUND helps people both enjoy nice seating comfort and even better moments together. "When everyone around the table is sitting comfortably, they can relax and focus more on each other."
Function solution
Choose the right bar stool height
Choose the right height of your bar stool so that it is comfy to sit on, offers plenty of leg room and is proportionate with the rest of your space. Kitchen counters and counter-height tables typically range from 87-91 cm from the floor. To find the perfect stool for your counter, look for a seat height of 60-66 cm. Tabletops or counters that measure between 101-106 cm from the floor, are typically classified as "bar height", and require a seat height of 72-76 centimetres.
Designer thoughts
Designer thoughts
“When designing BERGMUND chairs, we wanted to create seating for the many people, any day of the year. And as life changes, so can the covers - to fit the season, a special occasion or your mood - take your pick from the various colours and lengths. The only thing that doesn’t change is the soft, cushiony comfort and the chamfered legs that allow the cover to fall smoothly over the frame. We hope these chairs allow you and your friends to relax and stay comfy a bit longer."
