Why you might need a chair with lumbar support

If you have a back pain you probably already know that you need a chair with a lumbar support, so this list of folding camp chair with lumbar support offers some excellent options.  Such a chair is not expected to cure your back, but it will surely help in reducing the pain and relieving any additional stress and in making your camping bearable.

If you still do not suffer from such a problem but want to invest in your health, this is the text for you. Prevent the pain before it comes, this is the point here. The principle of a good lumbar profile is shown in this picture above from the Strongback brand.

What to consider

• This is about comfort, so if you can sit in a chair for a long period and still feel comfortable, this is the chair for you.
• Such chairs have different seat sizes and different seat heights, and these parameters must be taken into account with respect to your body size. If the chair is too tall for you, it will not be comfortable. If it is too low, and if you are an elderly user, you will find it difficult to get in and out of it. Luckily, all of them have armrests, either solid bars or fabric supported by metal handles on the front, so this helps a lot.
• The packed size and weight may be important if you use such a chair for other purposes and not only for camping. For example, if you go to a sports event or an open-air concert you will probably carry it some short distance. In the case of camping, such chairs will be transported by car in any case, so these parameters are not a big deal. Besides, the differences between the chairs with respect to these parameters are usually not so drastic.
• Most of them are padded throughout the seat and the back. But in the case of the Strongback brand, the padding is mainly on the curved lumbar zone. Padding makes a chair more comfortable but think also about weather conditions, if such a chair becomes wet it will need time to dry.

What is included

The chairs here in the list belong to two main groups:

• The chairs with a frame-integrated lumbar support that is fixed.
• The chairs with an adjustable lumbar design based on a strap and a pad that are behind the back section of the chair.

The former type is typical for the Strongback brand, they have specialized in such a type and several of their chairs are here in the list. This is normal to expect, those are very ergonomic award-winning patented designs. The latter type may be a better option if several family members or members of a group are going to use the chair, so they can easily adjust the lumbar profile to fit the body size.

Note also that all chairs here are collapsible-type, and this means that when you pack them they remain large in one dimension only, similar to an umbrella design. So they require no assembly, you simply spread each of them in one simple move, and equally fast you make them ready.
