IKEA DYVLINGE swivel chair

Room×Lab Review · Review updated October 15, 2026 · Evidence rechecked October 17, 2026

Green and other-color owners praise the first sit; many report seat cushions flattening within months and buttons coming loose

Room×Lab read all 613 distinct written reviews on IKEA's DYVLINGE pages in September 2026; IKEA's pages have since shown slightly higher totals. They cover every color and region, not green alone; remarks naming green or orange stay with that color. IKEA's US and UK green pages list different foam and seat heights, so UK reports may not transfer. Signal counts cover cited reviews, not every review raising a point. Few owners say how long they had the chair, and three reviews only complain about price or availability. The reviews below pair praise from a few weeks to over a year of use with the most common complaints and an isolated bracket failure.

Room×Lab rating: 6.3 out of 10 (medium confidence). Owners of the green chair and other colors find it comfortable, compact and stylish, keeping owner experience strong. Durability holds it back: many report seat cushions flattening within days to about six months and buttons coming loose. IKEA's star rating covers every color and region.

• Comfort on first sitting: 30 favorable and 6 critical mentions, mostly praising early comfort across colors and body sizes. — Praise comes from owners naming green, orange or black and many naming no color, including reviewers at 6 ft 2 in and over two meters tall. Critics found it too small, too flat or too reclined, or blamed back pain on its angle. Most are early impressions without a stated ownership length.
• Seat cushion flattening: 8 favorable and 44 critical mentions about cushion firmness and how well the seat holds its shape. — Critics describe seats sinking or bottoming out after two days to about six months, sometimes the back too; some now add an extra cushion. Others report lumpy or uneven filling, or a new orange chair far firmer than the owner's year-old green one. Favorable owners report comfort holding for months, up to over a year of daily use.
• Decorative buttons coming loose: 0 favorable and 20 critical cited reviews, mostly about seat or back buttons loosening, snagging or coming off. — Reports run from the first day to about a year after purchase. Some owners tie it to buttons snagging on clothing or feet, and two say a detached button cannot be sewn back or repaired. One owner on the US green listing asked how to get a replacement cover; another received an exchange.

Before buying

Sit in one first if you can and press into the seat: owners across colors report cushions flattening within months and buttons coming loose. It may not suit you if you need head support or a seat that is easy to rise from.
