A bit of history – The design and technology used in zero gravity lounge chairs has been inspired from the seats designed by NASA for its astronauts. A zero gravity chair is designed to support the human body and create a sense of comfort and weightlessness. When you sit upright or stand, gravity puts pressure on your spine, your spinal muscles contract and your discs compress. Over time, this stress and the natural process of aging, can contribute to degenerative disc disease (DDD). While the zero gravity lounge chair is not a cure for DDD, it can put you into a reclining position that helps reduce the force on your spine, allows your back muscles to rest and the discs in your back to return to their normal shape and size. Sitting in a reclining position also reduces stress on the heart, increases circulation and can also increase blood oxygen levels.

Zero gravity lounge chairs and outdoor zero gravity recliners can be set up in all places, from backyards to lounge areas in an office. The chairs offered from many manufacturers have been constructed of power coated steel frames and durable, yet soft upholstery to provide maximum comfort.
