Recommended ages are a general guide. A child’s height, preferred sitting position and available room space should also be considered.
Seating for children aged 3–9 years
Wigiwama children’s seating is scaled for smaller bodies and everyday independence. The lower seat height makes it easier for younger children to sit down, get comfortable and stand up without adult help.
Beanbag Chair
Beanbag Chair
Recommended age: 3–9 years
With ottoman: suitable up to age 12
Size: 70 × 50 × 80 cm
The Beanbag Chair offers a more defined, supportive shape than a traditional beanbag. Its backrest and side panels create a cosy seat for reading, watching a favourite programme or spending time in a playroom.
Choose the Beanbag Chair when:
- You want a chair that can grow with your child – pair it with the matching ottoman to create more legroom and extend its comfortable use up to 12 years.
- You want a lightweight chair your child can move independently using the built-in handle.
- You need a compact seat that fits easily into bedrooms, playrooms and shared living spaces.
- Your child wants a comfortable place for reading, lounging, screen time or quiet play.
- You prefer a supportive shape with a defined backrest and armrests rather than a loose beanbag.
- You want an everyday chair that is easy to move aside whenever more floor space is needed.
Bear Beanbag
Bear Beanbag
Recommended age: 3–7 years
Size: 60 × 42 × 70 cm
The Bear Beanbag has a soft, rounded shape designed for relaxed lounging. Its playful bear-ear silhouette makes it especially suited to nurseries, bedrooms and cosy reading corners.
Choose the Bear Beanbag when:
- You need a space-friendly seat that works well in smaller bedrooms, playrooms or rooms with limited floor space.
- Your child loves curling up, reclining or changing positions while they relax.
- You are creating a cosy reading nook or a dedicated calm corner.
- You prefer a more relaxed beanbag shape rather than a structured, upright chair.
- You want a playful design that adds character without overwhelming the room.
Seating for teens aged 11-17 years
As children grow, they need more room for their legs, shoulders and changing sitting habits. The Wigiwama Teen Collection has been scaled up to provide the space and support older children need, while keeping the softness and familiar design of our children’s furniture.
The Teen Collection is especially suitable for bedrooms, gaming spaces, reading corners and relaxed study areas.
Momo Chair
Momo Chair
Recommended age: 7-17 years
Size: 90 × 60 × 100 cm
The Momo Chair offers the most space for relaxed lounging. Its wide, deep seat lets teenagers stretch out, lean back or curl up comfortably.
It is the closest Teen Collection alternative to the relaxed feeling of the Bear Beanbag, but with considerably more space for an older child’s body.
Choose the Momo Chair when:
- Your teen wants furniture that feels made for them – not childish, but not formal adult furniture either.
- You want the most spacious lounging option for stretching out, curling up or changing positions.
- You need one chair for everything – reading, gaming, watching films, scrolling, relaxing or doing homework.
- You want a chair they will not quickly outgrow as their room and routines change.
Club Chair
Club Chair
Recommended age: 7-17 years
Size: 90 × 56 × 82 cm
The Club Chair combines generous teen-sized comfort with a more defined armchair shape. Its supportive backrest, armrests and balanced seat make it well suited to reading, using a laptop, relaxing or spending time in their room.
Designed as a direct, grown-up evolution of the original Beanbag Chair, it keeps the familiar comfort teens already love in a larger size. The built-in handle also makes it easy to move around the room whenever they want to create a new favourite spot.
Choose the Club Chair when:
- Your teen has outgrown their favourite Beanbag Chair and is ready for the same familiar comfort in a larger, teen-sized design.
- You want a supportive everyday seat for reading, studying, using a laptop or simply relaxing.
- You need a chair that is easy to move using the practical built-in handle.
- You prefer a defined armchair shape with a supportive backrest, armrests and a more upright sitting position.
- You want furniture designed specifically for teens that feels grown-up without becoming formal adult furniture.
Still not sure which chair to choose?
Start with your child’s age, then consider how they like to sit and how much space is available.
- Choose the Beanbag Chair or Bear Beanbag for children aged 3–9.
- Choose the Momo Chair or Club Chair for teens aged 7–17.
- For children between these age groups, consider their height, how they like to sit and whether you want a chair that fits them now or gives them more room to grow.
