IKEA's Colorful Cushion Is A Great Solution For More Seating Space In The Living Room

Big families or those who like to host frequently face the same challenge: a lack of living room seating. You want your guests to have a comfortable spot to sit and relax in your home but not every space allows for a sectional sofa or multiple armchairs. Folding chairs can get the job done, but a soft landing spot is usually much preferred. If you don't have the space for a supersized couch (or even if you do and still need overflow seating options), IKEA GREJSIMOJS Floor Cushions are an easy, versatile way to add more seating space to your living room. 

This three-piece set of cushions makes an attractive alternative to traditional living room seating. The cushions have varying diameters and coordinating covers in colorful corduroy. The largest one measures 22.875 inches across, while the medium cushion is 17.75 inches, and smallest cushion is 12.625 inches. Despite being different sizes, an IKEA reviewer says, "The whole family has used these and they hold up to various weights." Another person adds that these cushions feel very sturdy and offer "great flexible seating at different levels." Deploying these cushions as extra seating is as easy as grabbing one from the stack and finding a comfy place to plop down for movie night, games, or a conversation with friends.

These cushions are soft and easy to maneuver so it's not a surprise to find that reviewers say their little ones have incorporated them into imaginative play. For instance, a reviewer at IKEA says, "Purchased for my 5 year old who has used them for lots of games such as floor is lava and stepping stones." Another example is 'follow the leader,' where one child blazes a trail around the room using specific objects as stepping stones—like these floor cushions—and the other players must mimic the same path. It's worth noting that the colorful, attractive look of the cushions isn't just a fun factor and these pillows can dress up your interior space. Says one reviewer, "I like the fact they are stackable and have a different color way either side so you can have muted pastel tones or rich primary colors on display when little one has finished with them."

Even if your child's games mean that these cushions are squished, stepped on, or encounter a spill, it's helpful to know that they're quite resilient according to reviewers. "Great quality, amazing colors and pretty sturdy. They jump from one to another, they climb on them, they roll them around. Honestly 10/10 so far," reports an IKEA reviewer. If the cushions do become dirty when used for play or seating space, the fact that they have removable, washable covers is a major perk.
