Chaise lounges (or how do you spell it?)

Long chairs for resting seem to be the thing to have nowadays. Like these two above from R.O.O.M. I would never buy something this expensive in those colors or patterns though. I am sure they are comfortable though. Despite colors, patterns or price.

I bought a chaise lounge a couple of years ago from IKEA.

This model doesn’t exist any longer. Which I found out when I wanted to get a new cover for it about a year ago. It is originally white. IKEA no longer makes them with the armrest. The current model has no armrest – which means they had no covers for the older model. BEMZ, who make covers for various IKEA sofas and chairs and such, came to the rescue. This grey cover I bought from them. I still have the white cover and I switch between them occasionally. Currently it is grey but I think I’ll change it to white again one of these days. It is not all uncomplicated to change the cover as you have take away the armrest to do it.  I change the cushions now and then to get some change.

The current model at IKEA can be seen here. Gustav, my neighbors cat, also loves my Ektorp chaise lounge. (More images of Gustav can be found here).
