The right zero gravity chair will take your comfort up a level, whether in your garden, on the patio or when you’re camping.
How? Zero gravity put your body in a reclined position with your body weight distributed evenly across all pressure points.
The result is a reduction in tension on your body, particularly your spine and also promotes circulation through your legs.
You’ll experience a weightless sensation, allowing you to deeply relax and release tension when lying back in a zero gravity chair.

What To Consider When Buying a Zero Gravity Chair
There are hundreds of zero gravity chairs to choose from. We’ve picked out those that only receive the best customer feedback from hundreds or thousands of reviews.
To help you pick one that is best for you I’ve included some factors to consider below.
Comfort Levels
Whilst all zero gravity chairs are meant to comfortable (with the way they suspend your body and remove spine pressure) there is quite a bit of different between the chairs that will affect the degree of comfort. Much of this is subjective to your own tastes on what you find comfortable.
It’s best to look for a zero gravity chair with unlimited reclining positions, rather than a few settings.
Some chairs come with a degree of padding – for some padding will be important, others may not be too bothered or happy to simply add a cushion.
Another factor that can affect comfort is how breathable the chair is, this will depend on what material is used.
You may also want to pick one that has a detachable head pillow.
Weight Capacity
This varies quite a bit from different chairs so do check this on the manufacturer’s product page.
Chair Weight
If you’re going to be carrying this around a lot (or you may go camping) you’d prefer a lighter one.
Features
Some of these come with most chairs, others you’ll need to look out for particular models.
- Cup holder – usually in the form of a side holder on the chair. Can also include a table element with phone holder.
- Detachable Headrests.
- Footrest and foot pads.
- Canopy for protection from the sun.
Build Quality
We’ve picked out chairs that receive excellent reviews and with good build quality.
Zero Gravity chairs are usually made from metal frames that are powder coated.
These help increase their lifespan and protect from rust.
You should also look out for chairs that are made from a UV-resistant fabric.
This will go a long way to protecting the material from degrading from sun exposure. It will also help prevent fading.
With the reclining action it’s essential the locking system is strong and durable for extended use.
Zero Gravity Frequently Asked Questions
These are recliner chairs that are designed so your body is suspended in a neutral position. Your feet are elevated in alignment with your heart. Lying in a zero gravity chair can give you a weightless sensation, it’s relaxing and reduces pressure on the spine.
Yes, absolutely. Due to the way your body is suspended in a neutral position and removal of spine pressure you may find it more comfortable than sleeping in other chairs or beds. You may wish to get one with adjustable head rests and lots of padding to make your sleep as comfy as possible.
