There are different manufacturers that make zero-gravity chairs, but all are not created equal and are not equally effective. Irrespective of the cost, you should, therefore, look at a few specific factors that will help you to make the right choice. Here they are:

  • Check the feature and quality of the zero-gravity chair to find out whether or not it renders a correct zero-gravity position. Ideally, it should have multiple reclining positions.
  • Durability is another crucial factor to consider to get a high ROI. Check the structural framework and the metal body for its strength. Aluminum is the best choice for its low-price, strength, and rust proof property.

Also, check whether it comes with a powder coating, especially if you want to use it outdoors, to prevent rusting and enhance its life. In addition to that, you should also check:

  • The locking mechanism, single or double, and its strength
  • The cup holder and side tray
  • The canopy or fabric that should be UV resistant
  • The headrest for maximum comfort
  • The quality and material of the handle and 
  • The weight holding capacity.
