Anti Gravity Chair

Find out what a zero gravity recliner can do for you!

The lighter, less bulky form of zero gravity recliners are referred to as anti gravity chairs.  These units are designed to provide many of the same benefits and features of the zero gravity recliner.  If you’re worried about a zero gravity recliner taking over as your room’s center of focus, an anti gravity chair might be more to your liking. 

Anti gravity chairs are generally a frame design with a variety of materials stretched over them.  Modern in appearance, some will naturally become conversation pieces for your guests.  If they’re adventurous enough to sit in it, they’ll soon be asking you where they can get one. 

Today’s manufacturers of anti gravity chairs have gone to great lengths to provide numerous configurations of these chairs.  By doing so they have ensured their customers can find a design that matches their décor perfectly.  Most manufacturers allow you to select a frame finish, choose your fabric and the fabric color itself.  The majority of models use leather upholstery and those colors can also be designated for no additional cost provided it’s not a custom color.

While most anti gravity chairs don’t offer all the bells and whistles found with zero gravity recliners, their motion mechanisms are superior to those found on zero gravity loungers.  A full range of standard positions and the ability to custom adjust your position make the anti gravity chair a more affordable solution for those seeking relief from muscle tension and back pain. 

The cost of an anti gravity chair is significantly less than that of the zero gravity recliner.  Prices generally start around $200 and can go as high as $800 for quality built chairs.  Consumers should be wary of cheap imitations.  As with all new trends, there will always be an attempt to cash in by appealing to the uneducated consumer.  Anti gravity chairs sold for less than $200 are likely to be cheap imitations that don’t provide the features a true anti gravity chair provides. 

We touched briefly on the size of these chairs.  They are significantly smaller than the zero gravity recliner.  While this makes them infinitely easier to move both in and out of the home, they present other challenges.  One’s size should be taken into consideration when selecting a zero gravity product.  Larger folks will immediately notice the limitations of an anti gravity chair.  They are designed to be a mid range product and in so were built to address the needs of the largest demographic.  Another consideration is safety.  Many of the tubular models have specific weight limitations and they are very realistic concerns.  This should also be considered if you have children use the furniture as a jungle gym. 

For those of you not quite ready to take the plunge towards a zero gravity recliner, the anti gravity chair may be a less expensive experiment.  Please keep in mind there is no substitute for a zero gravity recliner and comparing them to the anti gravity chair is like comparing a limousine to a school bus.
