A zero gravity recliner chair places you in the naturally relaxed position a human body assumes in a weightless environment.

They are excellent for people with back problems indeed.

I found that my zero gravity chairs were the ideal solution to accompany the double hammock I purchased earlier this year. The model I chose is portable (Caravan Sports Infinity Zero Gravity Chair – and it is the best zero gravity chair in my opinion), I can use it at home, or take it with me to an outdoor event.

I’d like to tell you more about it below.

Best Zero Gravity Chairs Reviews

Caravan Sports Infinity Zero Gravity Chair

I chose the Caravan Sports Infinity Zero Gravity Chair for my home and bought two of them.

They fit both the taller and shorter members of my family, all the way up to 6’1” in height, and they hold up to 300 pounds of weight.

Even though they have a steel frame, each chair only weighs 18 pounds. When I fold them up, they both fit into the trunk of the car. But to be honest, these chairs spend most of their time in the backyard.

Everyone in the family loves the Zero Gravity Chairs. They recline backward so far that they make star-gazing at night a very enjoyable activity. On hot days, it’s very pleasant to sit in them and sip a cold drink.

If you’re looking for a budget zero gravity chair, try the Infinity from Caravan Sports.

It offers solid value for the casual user. But pay attention to the specifications.

Although it supports up to 300 pounds, the seat is only 20.7 inches wide. And tall users might find that the 64.5-inch length doesn’t accommodate their height. It measures only 31 inches from the seat to the top.

On the other hand, the chair has a new and improved system for locking into position.

There is a ring located underneath each armrest. Once you’ve reclined, pull down on the ring to lock the chair. Then pull up to release and sit upright.

Similar to recliners from competing brands, the Infinity uses Texteline fabric. This material is a smart choice for outdoor furniture as it resists fading and it’s easy to clean.

It’s also available in six colors. And it comes with an adjustable headrest that doubles as a back support pillow.

If you want a zero gravity chair for outdoor events, you’ll like that the Infinity folds down to just 6.3 inches in width. But it weighs 18 pounds because of its powder-coated steel frame.

That makes it a little heavy to lug around.

If you prefer to relax on your deck or patio, you can purchase an accessory tray or side table as companions to your recliner.

Finally, Caravan Sports offers a 60-day warranty against defects. Unfortunately, this requires that the customer pre-pay the cost of shipping.

Pros

• Holds up to 300 pounds, measures 20.5 inches wide and opens out to 64.5-inches long
• Strong steel frame has a powder coating
• Bungee cord lacing is strong and supports weight evenly
• The textiline fabric is breathable and comfortable
• Recliner locks are simple to operate
• Folds up so it can travel with you
• Comes in 8 different colors

Cons

• I found no cons for this chair at all

Although the Infinity chair is plenty wide and tall for members of my family, you might prefer something a little larger for your home.

I’d like to tell you about a wider zero gravity chair below.

Caravan Sports Infinity Oversized Zero Gravity Chair

Caravan Sports sells an oversized version of its Infinity Zero Gravity Chair that many customers will find more comfortable.

It supports up to 330 pounds, but more importantly, has a 24.4-inch seat width.

Unfortunately, it’s not any longer or taller than the regular Infinity chair, so those over 6-feet in height won’t find it suitable.

But there are other benefits to this recliner.

For one, it has a convenient locking system.

Once you’ve reached the perfect position, pull down on the rings underneath the armrests. Then the chair will remain locked in place until you pull up the rings and release it.

Also, the oversized Infinity chair uses Texteline fabric made from polyester and PVC fibers. It’s resistant to UV light and available in six colors.

The same material makes up the adjustable headrest that can serve as lumbar support.

Even though it’s wider than the regular Infinity, the oversized version folds down to just under 7 inches thick. But it weighs 22 pounds, four pounds more than the original model.

To conclude, Caravan Sports offers a 60-day warranty against defects. But it requires that the customer pre-pay the cost of shipping.

Pros

• Holds up to 330 pounds, measures 25.8 inches wide and opens out to 64.5 inches long
• Strong steel frame has a powder coating
• Bungee cord lacing is strong and supports weight evenly
• The textiline fabric is breathable and comfortable
• Recliner locks are simple to operate
• Folds up so it can travel with you
• Comes in 6 different colors

Cons

• I found no cons for this chair at all

If you’re not sure if the chairs from Caravan Sports are the best ones for you.

I found another popular chair while I was researching to find the best ones. I’d like to describe it for you below.

Lafuma Futura XL Zero Gravity Recliner

While I saw that the Lafuma Futura XL Zero Gravity Recliner was also a popular product, I decided against it for two reasons.

One, I saw many user complaints about the chair not holding up well under use.

And two, it was priced lot higher than the Caravan Sports chairs.

But this recliner may suit you better if you have taller people in your family.

When the chair is fully reclined, it opens out to 71 inches in length as opposed to the 64.5 inches for the chairs described above. It supports up to 330 pounds like the Infinity XL recliner.

Lafuma says their fabric, Batyline, won’t stretch out of shape, fade, or mildew, and it is washable. The body of the chair is suspended by elastic clips, not a cord. Because of this design, you can take the chair apart and wash the fabric.

Another difference between the Lafuma and the Caravan Sports chairs is their system for reclining the chair. While the Caravan Sports Infinity chairs have a simple lock-on, lock-off system, the Lafuma has resistance levers. This means you can move the chair while it’s “locked” and it returns to the original position.

Pros

• Fits taller people because it opens out to 71 inches
• Supports up to 330 pounds of weight
• Comes in 3 different colors
• Fabric doesn’t fade or mildew or stretch, and it can be washed
• Elastic clips reportedly distribute weight better
• Resistance levers allow some movement without losing position

Cons

• I saw several reports about it falling apart, although this is somewhat mitigated by Lafuma’s 2-year warranty

Best Choice Products Set of 2 Zero Gravity Lounge Chair

The Best Choice Products set creates a dilemma for the average shopper. Here are two zero gravity chairs for the price of one.

Is it a good deal or not?

Let’s take a closer look at what they offer.

First, the manufacturer advertises these as portable chairs for the beach and camping, but in reality, they weigh over sixteen pounds each.

You’re more likely to park them on your patio than tote them to events.

Most of their weight comes from their tubular steel frames. On the upside, each chair supports up to 250 pounds. And they fold up for transport and storage.

Second, another feature that makes these recliners attractive is the removable accessory tray. It has room for two cups as well as slots for a phone or remote plus a tablet.

And that’s a big win for convenience.

Third, Best Choice Products sells the chair in a variety of colors.

Its Textilene fabric is high-strength polyester blended with PVC fiber. It’s resistant to fading, and it doesn’t absorb or transfer heat like hard plastic.

Plus, the replaceable double bungee cord system provides firm support with a little give.

Fourth, each recliner comes with a detachable seven-inch tall, two-inch thick pillow that serves as either a headrest or lumbar support.

With all those benefits, what’s the catch?

There appear to be three main problems.

First, it seems that some customers complained about the grommets and the frame rusting.

Then some owners said that the chairs don’t lock in position properly.

And finally, people who are over 6-foot tall don’t find these recliners very comfortable.

In conclusion, if you’re shopping for inexpensive zero gravity chairs, this set from Best Choice Products has a lot going for it. Just don’t expect these recliners to stand up to hard use or fit tall users.

Pros

• Steel frames support up to 250 pounds
• Textelene fabric resists fading and heat transfer
• Detachable accessory tray and cup holder
• Adjustable pillow
• Replaceable suspension system
• Fold up for transport and storage

Cons

• Complaints about rusting and inability to lock into position
• Not suitable for tall users over 6 feet

Are you wondering how did I find my best zero gravity chairs?

I’d like to tell you about how I came to choose these three chairs as my top picks.

Top 3 Comparison

4 Criteria I Used To Find My Best Zero Gravity Chair

Although there are many zero gravity chairs on the market, my top three picks are in this review. I didn’t want features like a cup holder or a canopy because those weren’t essential for me or my family. Instead, I looked for these other characteristics:

• Comfortable
• Easy to use
• Durable
• Right size for members of my family

Zero gravity recliners are comfortable by design, so I looked for details that enhanced them. I liked the adjustable headrest/lumbar support on the Caravan Sports’ models. I also wanted a fabric that was breathable and easy to clean.

We have a variety of ages and ability levels in my family, so I made sure everyone would find the recliner to be easy to use.

I also wanted a chair that would be durable enough to enjoy outdoors and on the occasional camping trip.

Finally, I wanted to purchase a chair that would be the right size for my family to use.

Conclusion

I hope you enjoyed this review of the top zero gravity recliner chairs.

This summer, my family and I are enjoying the Infinity of Caravan Sports. My wish is that you will soon have the best zero gravity chair for you and your family, too.

To wrap up, here are the best features of each chair in this review:

The Caravan Sports Infinity Zero Gravity Chair has a breathable fabric surface suspended by bungee-type cords. It is easy to recline and locks into position with the use of two finger rings under the arms. The chair folds up so you can take it to events. It comes in 8 colors.

The Caravan Sports Infinity Oversized Zero Gravity Chair is just like the original Infinity recliner except that it is five inches wider and accommodates up to 30 pounds more weight. It comes in 6 colors.

The Lafuma Futura XL Zero Gravity Recliner is made for taller people and it supports up to 330 pounds. It comes in 3 colors. The fabric surface is washable and resistant to fading and mildew.

Recommendation

My family loves our two Caravan Sports Infinity Zero Gravity Chairs. For us, they were the best value for the money.

If you would like a chair that supports up to 330 pounds, consider getting either the Oversized Infinity chair from Caravan Sports or the Lafuma Futura XL.

If you prefer a chair suitable for very tall people, take a look at the Lafuma Futura XL.

I hope this review of the best zero gravity chairs helped you find the best one for you. Check back for more reviews of products for a comfortable home living.

In case you haven’t tried a zero gravity chair, I’ll tell you how this one works. First, you can raise or lower the headrest by pushing it up or down inside the fabric of the chair. It can serve as a lumbar support for your lower back.

Some people prefer to make sure the recliner is locked before they sit because the chair feels more stable. There are two finger rings, one under each chair arm. These control the locking mechanism. Once you’re seated, pull on them, and the lock releases. Push on the arms and the chair reclines.

You can re-lock the chair to keep it from moving if you shift position. Then when you want to get up, release the lock again. Pull on the arms and lean forward. The chair will move to an upright position. It operates a lot like a recliner in a living room.
