As an old outdoorsman and an 8-year equipment developer and seller, if you ask me, provided that, for a short outdoor trip, only one outdoor supply can be taken, which one would I choose? I would definitely say a zero-gravity chair. That's because, based on meeting our outdoor needs, it is one of the few that can improve our experience to the next level.
This post will break down, as the next level of folding recliners, how do zero-gravity recliners upgrade our outdoor life from the following 3 aspects:
I. A Perfect Bed-Chair Blending
II. Relieve Fatigue & Soreness
III. Compact Folding Size & Effortless Carry
Before discussing today's theme, it is necessary first to tell the traditional outdoor recliners and the zero-gravity chair apart. The most significant difference between these two chairs, to put it in a nutshell, lies in their max unfolding angle.
Both chairs can keep your body upright or leaning backward when you want to sit against them. However, a zero-gravity recliner features a super extended backward angle of about 120° that can elevate your legs above the heart level, the so-called zero-gravity position.
The zero-gravity lounge is not to make you float in the air. It is inspired by the neutral body position of astronauts at rest in space observed by NASA.
A zero-gravity lounger is born to get people's bodies reasonably supported and fully relaxed by conforming to their lying gestures in naturally relaxed situations.
I. A Perfect Bed-Chair Blending
Too much equipment and supplies to be taken has become a significant obstacle hindering us from enjoying a pure, pleasant outdoor life. While among all of the essentials, sleeping and camping furniture takes up the most car trunk space. But what if we integrate them into one piece?
The traditional folding recliners are always used as chairs only, and the bed is prepared additionally. Why? Most people sleep with a sleeping bag in the tent for safety and warmth during the night. However, the other reason is that folding outdoor recliners do not provide enough support for our spine. Although you initially feel comfortable sitting on it, the unfolding angle still strains the muscle around your lower spine. After sitting on it for a long time, you will get a sore or pain back. You may have noticed that every time people stand up from an outdoor recliner, they have to flex their joints and twist their backs. In other words, the traditional lounger is not a smart choice for getting a long, deep sleep. It would be best to prepare an extra sleeping bag or folding bed.
A zero-gravity recliner ideally avoids such a problem. The ergonomic unfolding angle evenly distributes body stress along the spine, making your body feel like floating in the water, well-supported and none-strained.
Additionally, a zero-gravity chair usually has a long, extended size. Sleeping or sitting on it, your whole body can naturally stretch without getting your legs hanging above the ground.
If you take a short outdoor trip like fishing, camping, or picnic, a zero-gravity recliner is enough to meet your sitting and sleeping needs.
The Yaheetch Zero-Gravity Recliner with Sunshade and Soft Pad goes further. Based on the basic design, it is upgraded with a sunshade, movable pillow, thick-padded seat, and airy mesh backrest. It is born to offer a one-stop, cool, pleasant outdoor experience, whether fishing, sleeping, meditating, reading, or anything you like, while saving you from the trouble of taking an outdoor umbrella, base stand, storage, and putting it up.
II. Relieve Fatigue & Soreness
If you have an outdoor living experience, you must know what I mean by fatigue and sore muscles after playing, exercising, hiking, or all-the-way driving. How to recover from a low-body situation decides your mood and experience for the rest of the trip. And here comes the second reason why I recommend taking a zero-gravity recliner with you.
One of the most significant functions of zero-gravity chairs is strain recovery and pain and soreness relief. Keeping the body in a neutral gesture means getting the body in a most unstressful position, just like a sleeping bird whose claws will unconsciously grip the branch.
The zero-gravity position aims at relieving lower-back pain by facilitating spinal decompression and repairing and protecting people's bodies from the impact of gravity. Studies have shown that sitting in a zero-gravity recliner can enhance the body's self-repairing capability, and sitting on it for 20 minutes can have the same recovering effect as 8-10 hours of deep sleep.
Yaheetch XL Soft-padded Zero-gravity Lounger comes in extended size and features an 8 cm thick long high-density foam-padded cushion, soft upholstered footrest, and an accessory tray for cups, phones, and pads. Taking it with you on the trip is just like taking a body power bank, which can charge your fatigue and sore body anytime, anywhere, in a 20-minute snap.
III. Compact Folding Size & Effortless Carry
Taking less space can be an absolute superiority for an outdoor living supply. An outdoor folding zero-gravity chair enjoys such a merit.
Although the whole chair body is relatively longer than a traditional folding lounger chair, it is designed to be foldable. Meanwhile, professional outdoor materials such as polyester and aluminum are also lightweight. It is stressless to keep them in your can trunk.
Meanwhile, the well-designed zero-gravity chairs like Yaheetech Portable Zero-gravity Chair also integrate more thoughtful functional details, such as folding locks, shoulder straps, and carry bags with handles, all for your handy storage and transportation.
