The zero gravity chair is a truly incredible design of chair that will undoubtedly be one of the most comfortable chairs that you’ve ever sat in. It will genuinely give you a sensation of feeling like you’re relaxing somewhere that’s out of this world.
A top spec zero gravity chair...
The chair started out in life with a lofty pedigree – the original zero gravity chair was a design from the American space agency NASA who wanted to create a training device for future astronauts to get the feeling of what it would be like to sit in the shuttle at take off. With this chair the astronauts had to reline so far back that they were practically horizontal, and when they sat in this way they realised just how comfortable a chair they’d created. The design was adapted and put into commercial manufacture so that you and I could experience comfort levels that are truly out of this world.
The zero gravity chair has become incredibly popular in the few short years that it has been on sale, and this is partly down to the therapeutic effects that sitting in one has on the body. By reclining back as far as you do, you remove the effects of gravity from pushing down through your spine and forcing your vertebra together. Anyone who suffers from a painful back will understand just how important this can be, and it’s no surprise that many physiotherapists and chiropractors recommend this type of chair to their clients. It’s not just those with bad backs that will benefit, as there is another remarkable health advantage from sitting in this chair – hypertension, or high blood pressure, is alleviated as you sit with your legs raised above the level of your heart. This lowers the pressure required to pump blood around your body, and therefore reduces the stress and strain on your heart.
Even if you’re in perfect health, though, you cannot fail to fall in love with this chair. Zero gravity chairs are available in a huge range of different fabrics and finishes – cloth and leather, wood and metal. They are even available with an electric recliner function so that the most effort you have to expend to glide into place is push a button on a remote.
Anti gravity lawn chairs have become available in recent years, and these are styled heavily on the zero gravity chair. They are usually made from lightweight metals and plastics, and fold up for easy storage and portability. So now, no matter where you go, you can take one of these inspired home ideas with you.
