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.”

Ratings and reviews
The best dining chairs I have ever bought - several times overMaryanneNot only very comfortable, the major plus is the fact that the upholstery can be replaced. Not expensive and easy to do.
Comfy and SturdyShannonSolid and comfy!
Great chair!RobertEasy build and solid performance!
Great Study ChairBonggunVery Sturdy, the cushions are comfortable, it deserves its price.
Dining chairs are great EileenBought 4 and love them! Sturdy and comfortable! Great price! Have looked everywhere for decently priced chairs and finally found them. And you can buy extra covers (just in case!)
Solid chair, looks great, but too hardIanThis chair is remarkably solid, heavy, and stable. The design is , in my opinion, very attractive. However, although the chair looks great, it's not very comfortable. The seat cushion is kind of hard and you don't want to sit in it for very long. Perhaps it's suitable as a dining room chair for people who want to maintain good posture, but it's not a chair that a person can relax in.
Pale in comparison to the HENRIKSDALAnonymous reviewerWe bought two of these to add to the four HENRIKSDAL chairs we have. I knew they were a different size but I am placing them at the heads of the table so it will work. They pale in comparison. The seat is narrow and the seat pan is short. They are not nearly as comfortable. Still a good chair, sturdy and nice.
Please, IKEA, bring back the HENRIKSDAL
Great productElizabethWell made and comfortable chairs. Love the covers and especially that they can be washed.
dining room chairsMaryvery easy to assemble
seat cushion needs more padding
Looks great feels great StarrWe had the previous version of these chairs and much prefer this newer version. They are sleeker and less clunky than our old ones. They are nice and solid and we love how you can remove the covers for washing.
I obviously like this chair. Easy to put together and beautiful MichaelI think it is a great chair. Aesthetically, the design ect.
Just as expected NardiaThe chairs look very classy when assembled.
Not the same chair as it used to beRobertWe bought these chairs online without visiting a store, thinking they were the same as the ones we bought over a decade ago. They are not. They've been redesigned, are narrower, and you sit on a firm seat and much higher than before. The old chair covers will not fit these either.
For the money, they seem ok and should hold up longer than the previous version which had 'lawn-chair' webbing under the seat padding. This new model has a sturdy metal platform under the firm seat 'cushion'. Felt pads under the feet are a must to minimize noise on a wood floor.
Cute chair and easy to assemble.DianaCute chair and surprisingly easy to assemble.
ChairsJohnOnly unpacked one at the momoent to see what they are like.Very impressed. Good weight. Excellent materials and excellent value for the money. Love the way you can remove covers,or change if want to. once one cover looks to be part of original chair.
A chair is architecture (Corbusier)ThomasThe chair is very comfortable, just the right height with excellent back support, The padding is very inviting, and the solid assembly is a plus. Also the possibility of having different covers. I chose the multicoloured cover and it is a lovely design. The covers are washable, another plus
Dining chairs MelvinMet all my expectations
Easy to assemble AllysonGreat quality easy to assemble and so comfortable. Love the fact they are washable
Comfortable and easy to assemble MarinaThis chair is very comfortable and it was very easy to assemble. The cover fits on perfectly and the key for adjusting the legs was a perfect fit.
Best chairs everTammyThese chairs were a perfect fit for the table I had already. They are very strong and durable and I love the fact that you can change the cover.

Story
Long dinners just got more comfortable
BERGMUND chair was created so that you can sit longer while enjoying nice dinners – without your legs starting to feel stiff or your back aching. To succeed, we dove into new research on the human body, which led to us developing 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."
