Sustainability and the environment

Comfort

The Moon chair is a very comfortable chair loved by nearly all who sit in it. The seat foam is a medium density with plenty of give, not super squashy and not rock hard, with a softer back cushion and two soft arm cushions that give you the feeling of a warm hug.

The touch sensitive, electric system allows you to stop the reclining motion at any point from your upright seating position to practically horizontal, meaning you can find the perfect position for your posture. Also available with a manual recliner which gives you the added option of 360° swivel action which was the perfect choice for mega star Serena Williams, as shown in her home below and you can read all about it here

 

Maintenance

The Moon chair is a very low maintenance piece of furniture, although the manufacturers will recommend daily dressing and plumping of the cushions, we’ve found that it retains it’s shape very well. The back cushions are zipped to the frame and can be removed occasionally if it needs a good plump up and the seat cushion is attached by velcro, so can again be removed and the fabric straightened out by hand.

Longevity Guarantee/Warranty

Fama have a lot of confidence in the structure of their furniture and offer a lifetime guarantee on the frames of all their sofas and chairs and 10 years on the suspension. In the rare event that anything does go wrong we’ve found that Fama’s customer care is second to none and they are always a pleasure to deal with.

Verdict

The Moon chair is an extremely comfortable and stylish armchair with a lot of great features packed into one chair. It’s iconic design sits well with most sofas and fama’s extraordinary range of fabrics and leathers means you can build it to suit your personality. The recline system is very smooth and can be mains powered, battery operated or manually operated, depending on your preferences or the set up of your room.

Who this is for

The Moon chair appeals to a broad range of customers, male and female, young and old, a great family chair or ideal for the more mature user looking to relax and find the perfect reclined position. It can look very modern or classic depending on the choice of fabric.

How does it arrive and will it fit through tight access?

The Moon chair arrives in a compact package and will fit through most access. The back cushion zips off so the chair can be turned on its side to get through most doorways.
