The Goplus Zero Gravity Chair is a folding steel-frame mesh lounger rated to 350 pounds. The Spruce tested it at home, named it the best budget pick, and liked the weightlessness and stability it felt in the chair, which it calls sturdy and oh-so-relaxing. It was underwhelmed by the cup holders and the locking mechanism, found the side table unstable, and warns that people over six feet tall may have their feet hang over the edge.
Full review
The Spruce's budget pick
The Spruce's zero-gravity chair guide is built on home testing: its testers set chairs up in their own backyards, sat in them for hours, had friends and family of different sizes try them, and kept using them for up to six months. The Goplus is the guide's best budget pick, and the final verdict recommends the Goplus set as a budget-friendly option.
The Spruce's testers wrote that they love the weightlessness and stability they felt while kicking back in the chair, and that the chair itself is sturdy and oh-so-relaxing. The fabric is breathable and held in place with double-strand bungee ropes, and the chair comes with an adjustable headrest.
Weak points: lock, side table and cup holders
The Spruce's two listed dislikes are an unreliable locking mechanism and a side table that feels unstable, and its write-up adds that the testers were underwhelmed by the quality of the cup holders. The removable slotted side table and cup holder are included.
Fit and recline
The Spruce lists a powder-coated steel frame with a 350-pound weight capacity and a 26-inch seat that it calls roomy, though it may not suit all body types. People over six feet tall may have their feet hang over the edge.
The chair reclines to 160 degrees. The Spruce notes that the feet do not end up higher than the heart, as they are supposed to in a zero-gravity chair, but says this did not limit the feeling of weightlessness.
Carrying it
At 15.5 pounds in The Spruce's specs, a tester noted the chair is easy to carry over short distances and to transport in a vehicle; the testers walked about a quarter mile carrying the chairs. The Spruce tested Goplus's two-chair set; the Amazon listing linked here is the single-chair version of the same Goplus 160-degree, 350 lb lounge chair.

How it compares
The Spruce lists the Goplus at 15.5 pounds, lighter than the Best Choice Products Zero Gravity Chair Recliner with Canopy Shade (20.5 pounds in The Spruce's specs) and the 22.05 lb Best Choice Products Oversized Padded chair. Its 350-pound rating matches the Timber Ridge Zero Gravity Oversized Recliner and is above the 300-pound Caravan Canopy Sports Infinity and the 250-pound Best Choice canopy recliner. The Spruce measured the Goplus seat at 26 inches against 29 inches for the Best Choice Products Oversized Padded chair.
