I’ve gotta say, I finally took the plunge and ordered this oversized zero gravity chair, and honestly? It’s been a total game-changer for my backyard setup.
The seat is seriously wide—like 24 inches!—which is pretty amazing compared to those standard flimsy lawn chairs that barely fit half my backside. The fabric is this sturdy polyester that kind of molds to your body, and I love that I can adjust the headrest to whatever feels right. I’m not exactly petite, so finding outdoor furniture that’s actually comfortable has always been a struggle.
The padding is what sold me though. It’s properly thick all over—seat, back, armrests, the whole deal. Most outdoor chairs skimp on padding, but this one doesn’t mess around. I can literally lounge in this thing for hours without getting that awful back pain I used to get. And it holds up to 300 pounds, which is reassuring since my brother-in-law (who’s a pretty big guy) wanted to try it when he visited last weekend.
What’s really convenient is how portable it is. It weighs about 20 pounds, which isn’t nothing, but it’s manageable, you know? I’ve already taken it to my kid’s soccer tournament and to the beach. It folds down pretty compact—about 29″ by 7″ by 40″—so it doesn’t hog the entire trunk of my SUV. That’s a huge plus for someone like me who’s always running out of space.
The side tray is honestly such a smart feature. It’s got two cupholders, plus spots for your phone and tablet. Seems like a small thing, but when you’re trying to relax with a drink and watch something on your iPad, having everything within arm’s reach makes all the difference. The tray is just basic plastic, nothing fancy, but it does the job.
The reclining system works surprisingly well. You can lock it at whatever angle feels good, and the zero-gravity position—where your legs are higher than your heart—is kind of magical for my lower back issues. After a long day at work, I’ll head out to the patio, recline all the way back, and it’s like… instant relief. The elastic cords that support everything seem pretty sturdy too.
For anyone wondering about the size, it’s about 46″ long by 29″ wide by 40″ high when it’s open. Mine’s the black and gray version, which looks more expensive than it actually is. The frame is powder-coated steel that’s held up well through a couple rainstorms (though I try to bring it in when I remember).
Cleaning it is pretty straightforward—just soap and water for the fabric. I learned the hard way not to use anything too harsh after I accidentally bleached a spot on my old patio chair.
To be fair, it’s not perfect—sometimes the locking mechanism sticks a little when it’s really hot outside, and it took me a minute to figure out how to attach the tray properly. But considering what I paid, I’m definitely not complaining!
