IKEA Brings Back Inflatable Furniture After 20-Year Gap

IKEA is launching its first inflatable chair in over a decade this May. The new PS 2026 uses stronger plastic materials and a two-chamber design—improvements that fix the leaking valve problems that sank the company's earlier inflatable line. A designer spent ten years perfecting the prototype. At $200, the price reflects the engineering work required. If successful, other furniture makers may follow.
