The Best Zero Gravity Chairs for Outdoor Relaxation

Your home is more than the four walls of your house—your yard should function as a part of your living space, too! Having a well-designed, livable outdoor space will add value to your property, expand your entertainment options, and, most importantly, bring you the comfort we all need.

No matter the size of your outdoor space, choosing the right patio chair will turn your yard, patio, balcony, or deck into the perfect spot to relax and unwind, and a zero gravity chair is a perfect choice to help you rest and restore after a long, stressful day.

Why Are Zero Gravity Chairs a Must-Have?

Zero gravity chairs are designed to put your body into a neutral position when reclined. This design is a spin-off of research done by NASA—data recorded by astronauts in orbit and crew members on the Skylab space station in the mid-1970s showed that the body in its most relaxed state naturally assumes a torso-to-thigh angle of 128 degrees.

This position distributes your weight evenly, places your vertebrae in correct alignment, and relieves stress on your muscular system. Tension, fatigue, and back pain melt away when you beat the pull that gravity exerts on your body all day, every day.

Zero gravity alignment also helps you breathe better, improves your digestion, and enhances your circulation. Elevating your legs over the level of your heart helps to reduce swelling and alleviates stress.

With the health and wellness value of zero gravity stress-relieving technology in mind, consider these chairs.
