Suitable for business use.

This ergonomic office chair has lots of functions that allow you to easily adapt the chair to your body.

Height-adjustable seat allows you to adjust the height so that back and legs are at a 90° angle.

Synchronised tilt mechanism allows the chair to move with you. The backrest moves more than the seat when you lean back, so torso/hips open up. This improves circulation and keeps energy levels up.

As you recline, the synchronised tilt mechanism allows feet to stay on the floor while your gaze remains straight ahead. Your chest stretches without adding pressure on thighs, improving circulation.

This swivel chair has adjustable tilt tension that allows you to adjust the resistance to suit your movements and weight.

To adjust the tilt tension, turn the knob under the seat to increase or decrease the resistance.

The high backrest and the curved shape of the chair, provide good lower back support and prevent your back from getting tired. You sit comfortably, longer and with a relaxed posture.

The shape of the armrests provides good support and helps you find a good sitting position.

The mesh material of the backrest lets air through to your back during long sitting periods.

A safety function locks the castors when no one is sitting in the chair and keeps it securely in place when you stand up.

The castors are designed to provide ease of movement and maneuverability on both carpeted and hard floors as well as on uneven surfaces.

good chairVitalyPretty comfortable chair, no reasons to complain5
Comfortable until you sit at a deskSeanI tried all the available office chair options in store and the Markus stood out as being the most comfortable. Unfortunately, it's not the most practical. When sitting at a desk, the arms are just too high and deep to slide under the desk and sit in a comfortable position. The depth is probably the bigger issue as when I'm not at a desk they feel fine. I think that even if the arms were kept the same, but the entire arm piece was shifted back the problem could be somewhat solved, if not completely. I don't think the arms need to extend all the way to the front of the seat as that area can't be used anyway at a normal desk set up. You only have to look online at the amount of modifications people have made to try to alleviate the problem to know that this is not a small issue. I'm quite surprised that IKEA does not offer alternate arms or a mod kit. One thing that I do associate with IKEA is practicality and this chair does not meet that criteria.3
It's fine.KylieThis chair is fine in short bursts, but it you need to use it for a full days work, get a different one. The armrests are not adjustable, and are hard enough that they will hurt your arms, and the base itself just isn't solid and comfortable.3
Markus Office Chair - Great value and qualityKimI have bought two of these chairs for different places and honestly can't say that I have found better value with this chair. I have tried plenty of others but the Markus works on every level - comfort, value and quality.5
Well designed comfortable chairJohnGood for long use. Well designed.5
great chair but won't last the distanceLindyThe user loves this chair and will only have this chair but don't expect it to last the warranty period and there will be no way to claim because the chair will have wear and tear. Our old one made a loud terrible noise but we couldn't return it and we had to buy a new one. It was 5 years old, but the warranty is 10 years. We eventually got rid of the old one in buy back but they gave us half the minimum buy back.3

Ikea Markus ReviewAliThe IKEA Markus swivel chair, is quite decent but lacks in certain things like the arm rest its not adjustable, tall and has an rubber hard surface. The chair lumbar support is quite limited in only having one pillow which is stuck in position. The castors lock in when not sitting on chair so not easy to drag. But the chair is quite comfortable and usable for long periods of time.4

Story

Our take on polyester

Polyester is a durable, wrinkle-resistant and easy-care material that is ideal for many home furnishing products like rugs, pillows, quilts and cushions. The downside to virgin polyester is that it is made from oil, coal or natural gas. This means that when we use virgin polyester, we are exhausting the planet’s natural resources. Our response to this, is to replace all virgin polyester with recycled in our products. In 2020, we achieved the milestone of replacing 79% of the virgin polyester used in IKEA textile products and will accelerate the transformation towards the aim of only using recycled polyester throughout the product range where polyester is used.

Virgin vs recycled polyester

Originally, all polyester was made from oil-based raw materials which are not renewable but we are switching to only using recycled polyester. The good thing is that polyester can be recycled over and over, without negatively affecting the quality of our products. When we make products from recycled polyester, we give a second life to material that is not biodegradable and reduce the amount that may otherwise end up in landfill or the ocean. Instead, PET and other sources of polyester are used to make textiles, storage boxes, kitchen fronts and even lamps. Recycled polyester is just as good as virgin polyester in terms of looks, quality and function, and produces about 50% less in CO2 emissions. And the material is just as clean and safe in every way.

Some challenges with recycled polyester

Recycled polyester makes us less dependent on oil. The amount we convert, is equal to the amount of virgin fossil fuel we eliminate from our polyester raw material (this excludes potential dyeing and other post recycled polyester production treatments). With some exceptions, the challenge is not the conversion of polyester into recycled itself, but to make it available to everyone by keeping it affordable. Buying low environmental impact products often comes with a higher price tag. We want to change that by working to make recycled polyester products more affordable and accessible to the many people.

Only recycled polyester

IKEA is committed to end the dependency on virgin fossil materials and only use renewable or recycled materials by 2030. We are accelerating this movement for polyester in our range and aim to replace all virgin polyester in our textile products with recycled. In 2020, IKEA replaced 79% of the virgin polyester used in IKEA textile products with recycled polyester. In volume, this means we converted 130,000 metric tonnes of recycled polyester, and saved 200,000 tonnes of virign polyester. We haven’t reached our 100% goal yet, but we have come far and overcome many obstacles on the way. These volumes make us a leader in converting to recycled polyester and we hope that our decisions can inspire and motivate whole industries to change.

Responsible sourcing

At IKEA, we demand that all recycled polyester used in IKEA products shall come from recyclers that are compliant with the Global Recycled Standard and traceability is secured to the IKEA product through requirements toward the IKEA Suppliers. By only using recycled polyester that meets the Global Recycled Standards we manage to secure social, environmental and chemical practices at the recycler’s production. We believe that the GRS standard is the best standard on the market today. We work with our partners and textile organisations such as Textile Exchange to further improve standards on recycled materials, including traceability of material beyond the recycling units.

Material

What is polyester?

Polyester is a durable, quick-drying and insulating material that is optimal to use for textiles and as filling in pillows, quilts and furniture. The material is made from crude oil – a limited resource. Since IKEA doesn’t want to contribute to more virgin oil being used, we are now gradually switching to recycled and traceable polyester from sources like PET bottles. What’s nice is that polyester can be recycled over and over, without changing or losing its great qualities.
