Chairs With Zero Gravity Technology

Recline Function

• Zero Gravity chairs recline farther than normal sofa recliners. In full recline, you are in a "lying" position with your feet resting slightly above your hip and chest level. Zerogravitychairs.org reports that this foot position facilitates blood flow throughout the body and distributes your body weight evenly throughout the furniture. In this position, gravity no longer hinders blood flow; in a normal standing position, your cardiovascular system works harder to get blood from your legs back to your heart. In conjunction with the standard lumbar pillow that comes with the chairs, your spine is in a neutral position for maximum benefit.

Upgradeable Features

• You can purchase Zero Gravity chairs with features that enhance the health benefits. Zero Gravity chairs with adjustable head rests, full body massage and heating capability can amplify the recuperative effect of the chair on your entire body. Additionally, you can choose between manual or electric controls and suede or leather material. However, purchasing a chair with these high-end features dramatically increases the price.

Additional Benefits

• Along with the cardiovascular and spine benefits, the chairs can also relieve muscle tension throughout your neck, shoulders, knees and feet. This full body recuperation can dramatically speed recovery if you work a physically demanding job or are suffering from persistent body pain or arthritis. To receive full benefit from the chair, you should fully recline.

Price

• Zero Gravity chairs are expensive and can cost up to $3,000. Zero Gravity chairs with minimal features and standard material start at $1,000, but the upgradeable features can dramatically enhance the convenience and level of benefit your chair provides.

Suggestions

• Test your chair before you purchase it. Sit in the full-recline position to make sure it accommodates your body perfectly. A Zero Gravity chair is a serious investment for your physical health so take your time and modify the chair with features that address your specific needs. Ask the salesperson about the warranty length for several chair models as you compare prices and fits.
