POANG Replacement Cushions for IKEA — Measured Fit (2026)
Cushions to fit IKEA POANG: Indoor chairs — bent birch frames — official measurements, cut to order.
The POANG line at a glance
POANG is the rare IKEA line whose cushions sell separately from the frame – which makes it both the best case in flat-pack (factory spares, new colors, cheap) and, when the pattern or your frame generation rotates out, the clearest argument for a measured replacement. The cushion is the entire seating system: two bent birch rails and a fabric sling, with the pad providing every bit of the comfort.
POANG is also the rare line where IKEA publishes actual cushion thickness (2 inches on the chair cushion), not just seat height. Every number below is from official product measurements.
POANG cushion sizes — full chart
Measurements compiled from official IKEA product data (live pages, archived official values, or surviving aftermarket spec tables). Inches; metric-derived fractions (22 7/8, 23 5/8) are normal — cut to the fraction, not the rounded inch.

Is your set really POANG?
POANG is unmistakable – bent laminated birch frame, few parts, sold for decades. The generation check matters though: colorways and cushion versions rotate, and the current spare can drift from older frames’ dimensions. Compare your frame’s seat span against the chart; disagreement means your generation has moved on, and the route is a custom copy cut to your numbers. Full method: our three-step measuring guide.
Fabric options & estimated pricing
Same fit, three fabric tiers — cotton linen (durable everyday), tech fabric (water-resistant, wipes clean), premium velvet (the high-end look that stands up to cat claws). Indoor rebuilds: 45–60D high-resilience cores, thickness chosen to restore the published seat height.
| Piece | Cotton Linen | Tech Fabric | Premium Velvet |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chair cushion (22 1/2 in., 2 in. core) | $92 | $96 | $99 |
| Armchair seat rebuild (22 x 19 5/8) | $91 | $94 | $98 |
| Ottoman seat (21 1/4 x 21 1/4) | $94 | $97 | $101 |
Estimated pricing — $39 make-base + area at per-sq-ft rates, made to order. Final quote confirmed at checkout; welt cord and ties available as add-ons. Covers close with a sewn envelope closure (no zippers on our line).
Measure before you order
Three minutes with a tape measure prevents the classic IKEA mistake — ordering rounded inch sizes for metric fractions. Measure seam to seam, every distinct block, to the nearest quarter inch per our measuring guide; your numbers are cross-checked against the chart above before anything is cut.
Frequently asked questions
Can you buy a replacement cushion for an IKEA POANG chair?
Yes – POANG sells its cushion as an accessory, so a factory spare in current colors is the first route. It fails when your frame generation no longer matches current cushion dimensions or when you outgrow the catalog’s fill and fabric – then a custom cushion cut to your frame’s span is the working route.
How thick is the POANG chair cushion?
Officially 2 inches – POANG is one of the few IKEA lines where cushion thickness is published, because the cushion is a separate article. The ottoman cushion runs 1 5/8 inches and the children’s cushion 1 inch.
Will a universal cushion fit a POANG chair?
No – the POANG cushion is a frame-specific shape spanning the arms and wrapping the seat angle. It exists only as the factory spare or a custom copy cut to your frame’s measurements.
What foam density should a custom POANG cushion use?
A 45-60D high-resilience core – the cushion is the entire seating system, so density is lifespan. A custom core holds its loft years past catalog fill on daily-reading chairs.
