Zero gravity chairs

Was never a fan until these pretty ladies, have had my eyes on them when I first saw them at Big Lots a couple months ago. Waited patiently for a sale , excellent quality and nicely padded from head to toe, $64.99 a piece, regularly $90 just in time for next week, I would of slept in these had I not found a good topper for my bed!Click image for larger version

I have 2 and used them a few times.
No big deal about Zero Gravity but they are heavy and bulky to load and unload.

Costco has nice ones for around the same price and they're lighter.

Those really do look nice!

We purchased a zero gravity chair from QVC, it's an "XL" model as I'm 6'3". Our Coachmen only has a 2 seat couch and trying to lie down and watch TV at night is an adventure to say the least. So we bought this to watch TV and so far, other than the bulkiness of the chair, we like it.

They are extremely comfy but we never take them anywhere. As mentioned above they are too bulky. Space taken up by a pair of those could be filled by four bag chairs, a portable campfire, and a small cooler filled with cold beverages. Ours have lived for a decade in our back shed. So old that the elastics in the pillows have broken down. They have recently earned a spot on our brick/stick deck and will be there until the sun (or dogs/kids) destroy them.

We have a pair of these Zero Gravity chairs. Not cheap, but then again I wanted the larger chairs. They are very comfortable and IMO not any more heavier than some of the other stuff we bring along. Bulky???, eh, I suppose, but oh so comfortable. We just store them on top of the dinette when it's down, when traveling. Great napping loungers!

I would look at Strongback chairs if you are bigger, they are rated at 300 lbs and are designed to make your back feel better. Online only at about $70 each.

I bought mine from Costco over a year ago for $59.99. Still the same price today and well built chairs.

I am glad the OP got something that works well for him.

I have a single and a love seat version zero gravity chairs. I love both of them, but DH cannot get out of the chairs due to limited mobility - mostly due to no good place to put his feet to leverage out of the chairs.

So, while bought for camping, they are now in my backyard and I use them. The dog loves the loveseat version, btw.

I got us two director chair types with the sturdy arms and lots of footroom, as well as our trusty Northwest Territory rocking chairs.

Love ours, have had for at least 6 years. We were the first in our group to get them, now all have them. Like the fabric over the mesh... your butt stays warmer and the mosquitoes can't attack from the rear

We have two of them. I put them in the front compartment of the 5er. We also have one rocker and one tub chair that we put in the front compartment. We were just out for 10 days of camping and used the 0 gravity chairs the most. I don't know why we drag the other two along as we start out using the rocker and tub chairs but always seem to end up using the 0 gravity chairs the most.
