The padding dries in a few hours on a sunny day and the wood seems treated to repel water, but this chair just won’t handle long-term exposure to sun and rain as well as the plastic armrests and mesh seats on the other designs. (It could be maple, but manufacturer/distributor Westfield Outdoor doesn’t say what kind of wood it is.) These are nice touches that really make the chair look and feel nicer, but they do make this less ideal for patio use. One note on materials: the Timber Ridge uses padding in the seat and wood in the armrests. The colors and pattern of the Timber Ridge are a bit bolder than the other models, too, which means it might be harder to match with your decor. The seat reclines farther than any of the others if you take the pillow off, your head is just below the level of your knees. If you want to commit to a chair that gives you neutral posture for everyday use, this is definitely the model we’d pick. The cost is double, but it’s a much better product. Better materials, better design and a cupholder that stays with the chair when folded.
#Gravity chair upgrade#
This is a nice upgrade over the other models we tested. The Timber Ridge – Oversized XL Zero Gravity Chair doesn’t come at the bargain price of some other models, but it’s enough of an upgrade that at around a hundred dollars, we think it’s worth splurging on. Best with a canopy: Best Choice Products.For a canopy option to shield from the sun, we recommend the chair from Best Choice Products. If you’re willing to live with lesser-quality materials and a narrower seat, the Amazon Basics is a good choice. If you’re looking for a zero-gravity recliner that’ll help you lounge in style and won’t be a total eyesore in your home, then shop our top picks ahead.After four weeks of lounging at the park and beach, watching movies in a reclined position and experimenting with a neutral-posture office setup, we think the Timber Ridge is the best zero gravity chair. And if you want something that doesn’t look like a piece of patio furniture for your living room, then you’re gonna have to shell out the big bucks-but it’ll be well, well worth it, promise. Here’s the problem: Most zero-gravity chairs are designed to look like the kind of fold-out lawn chairs parents sit in during their kids’ soccer games, which is.not always the vibe. The result: easier, deeper breathing and reduced stress. “While in the chair, our feet and brain are at similar levels to our heart, which allows better circulation because oxygen moves more effortlessly throughout the body,” Mitchell adds.
“I recommend these for people that spend most of their day upright and/or have lower-back pain-but they also have benefits for people with heart health issues.” Because gravity is constantly putting strain on our bodies, the best zero-gravity chairs work to relieve tension on the muscles, which is something e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e could use, IMO. “A zero-gravity chair places us in a position that allows our feet to be above our heart so that our body is fully supported in a neutral posture,” explains ergonomist Audrey Mitchell, COTA/L, CEAS, founder of Bloom Ergonomics. Designed by NASA (because ofc), zero-gravity chairs are designed to mimic the position that astronauts are in during blast off to put the least amount of strain on their bodies, and no, you don’t need to be an astronaut (or Jeff Bezos) to own one. Everyone has their own way of relieving stress-pouring a big ol’ glass of merlot, buying tons of stuff you don’t actually need on Amazon, watching an entire season of Love Island in one sitting, etc.-but if you’re looking for an ~ergonomic~ solution to stress relief, then we’ve got just the thing for ya.
