Swedish “skog” means “forest”, and “djungel” means “jungle” (is “djungle” a combination form?), so I’d translate that as “jungle forest”. An alternative term for “rain forest”?
And so I wonder if that isn’t naming the source of the wood used, rather than the name of a kind of product.
So, after writing the above, I decided to Google “IKEA” and “djungleskog”. Turns out that it is actually spelled “djungelskog”. And…
“We are talking about DJUNGELSKOG, a colourful series of textiles, soft toys and even books and games inspired by wildlife and designed to bring your children a bit closer to nature.”
You should look it up yourself to see what all they have. 8^)
So, given the three choice she gives and the posts above explaining djungelskog as “soft toys, games, textiles, etc.”, it would seem that the cushion is the closest answer.
For IKEA, it translates as “Jungle Forest,” and represents a collection of children’s toys designed to strengthen environmental consciousness. Or so says The Google.

I’d guess wastepaper basket. But that’s just me.

It means “unnecessary headache” with extra parts!

“Swedish modular furniture” is a mouthful. Are they afraid they’ll be accused of paid product placement if they used the name Ikea?

As a Swedish citizen I can honestly say that even we sometimes do not understand IKEA’s names….

I say its ice cream but Hagen Daas grabbed that already.

Looked it up – a name covering soft toys, games, textiles, etc. (Ikea’s grouping)
