There are many accessories sold along with the Sven—he can wear one of several muumuu style outfits to match your decor, or a skintight nude suit. IKEA has also rolled out holiday friendly options for the SVEN, like a Santa suit and Easter bunny costume, as well as a full-body wetsuit that can be used to waterproof the SVEN for use as patio furniture.
