The manufacturers used this method to create a replica of this position in an average consumer product. Since then, they are widely known as zero gravity chairs.

The simple form of zero gravity chairs is something like those chairs you are used to seeing in poolside or backyard of any home. They are lightweight, foldable and can recline in a zero gravity position with ease.

Now you might be wondering, why do we even need one of these? It’s not like we are going to space or something.

While that’s true that we are not going to space. But did you know that our bodies also constantly feel the stress of gravity? You may not realize it though because we are used to this force.

But over time, this builds up in our body and the most popular problem related to gravitational stress is “lower back pain”. While some of you might consider this as the result of incorrect seating position.

This actually is the reason of prolonged gravitational pull on our body. From time to time these increases and our bodies need to get rid of the stress.

This is where the zero gravity chairs come into play. The chair assumes the same position and while we recline on it, our weights are distributed across the chair.

The manufacturers also claim that this relieves the pressure of gravity from our body and allows for a more effective and deeper relaxing experience. They also claim that you’ll virtually feel weightless. Sometimes they do exaggerate about their claim, but we do feel a sense of relaxation and comfort.

After a long day of hard work, these chairs are the perfect relaxing partner. Some come with massage functionality while others just recline in a zero gravity position.
