Space is at a premium when we go camping. I need a smaller, lightweight zero gravity chair. Nothing oversized. I’m 5’7” snd weigh 130lbs. Recommendation?
Hi Karen, I assume this is about the space in the car trunk. So these chairs follow a similar design and they are large in two dimensions when packed. But there are examples that fold like an umbrella, and one of them is this Ever Advanced Zero Gravity chair, so have a look. This is currently a unique chair on the market and I shall probably include it here in the list.
Which zero gravity lounge chair will fit in a 7×7 Coleman syndrome tent?
I assume you mean Sundome. This is a small 3 person dome tent. I would not use such large chairs in such a small tent. So I would say, none.
I am looking for an ergonomically designed camping chair that leans backward (zero gravity) and has armrests, and lumbar and head/neck support. From your reviews, I have identified the BAOAB ZERO GRAVITY LOUNGER and the BANYON ZERO GRAVITY. I also think the padding will add comfort to these.
Do you think these are the best choices for me? Do you have other recommendations?
I have a job that has gone virtual forever and am looking for a way to work comfortably as I camp.
Thank you for sharing your expertise!

Hi Hancy, I am not sure which is Baoab chair you mentioned. The Timber Ridge chair which you mentioned has a good padding and in addition to this it has also the bungee attachment to the frame, such a design is always great because the seat adjusts to your body in the best possible way. There are several of them with such a design here in the list so I would recommend such chairs to you.
