Ranked #5 in Best Zero Gravity Chairs

Caravan Canopy Sports Infinity Zero-Gravity Chair

3.1

1 source$119.99as of Oct 16

The Caravan Sports Infinity is a basic steel-frame zero-gravity chair rated to 300 pounds, and its two tested reviews disagree on carrying it. OutdoorGearLab scored it 53 of 100: comfortable enough to recline and nap in, but heavy at 18 lbs 11 oz, with no carry strap or latch, bungees that look like a fail point and locks with a tenuous hold. The Spruce named it the best portable zero-gravity chair it tested, folding to about 6 inches, and faulted a hard-to-reach lock and a short length for people over six feet.

Strengths

— Reclines and locks at any angle, which OutdoorGearLab says puts it in a league of its own among camp chairs
— The Spruce found it folds down to just 6 inches tall for storage
— Breathable mesh seat, per OutdoorGearLab

Watch-outs

— Heavy at 18 lbs 11 oz with no carry strap or latch to hold it closed, per OutdoorGearLab (portability 3 of 10)
— OutdoorGearLab found the bungees an obvious fail point and the locks a tenuous hold at best (durability 4 of 10)
— Testers around 5'11" and taller had their feet go past the footrest bar, per OutdoorGearLab; The Spruce says it may be too short for people over 6 feet

Timber Ridge Zero Gravity Oversized Recliner

4.9

1 sourceall derived$127.48as of Oct 16

Timber Ridge's oversized padded zero-gravity recliner is rated to 350 pounds and has a steel frame, an oxford polyester seat and back, an attached side tray and a sliding pillow. Bob Vila's test team made it the Upgrade Pick of 10 chairs, scoring it 5 of 5 for ease of use, comfort and durability and 4.7 for value, and found it comfortable in every position. Its one listed drawback is that it costs a bit more than similar chairs.

Strengths

— Adjustments to open, close and lock never felt too loose or too stiff, per Bob Vila
— Sliding pillow works as a headrest, neckrest or lumbar support
— 350-pound weight capacity with an attached side tray

Watch-outs

— Bob Vila's testers wanted a strap or lock to keep 20-plus-pound chairs from opening while being carried, a complaint they applied to all the chairs tested
