Lawn reclining chairs – FAQs
Below, we address consumer hot topics when it comes to our famed zero-gravity lounge chair!
How can a zero-gravity reclining chair help?
While NASA may have fashioned the first zero-gravity chair which dates (way!) back, as fas as the 1970s, LAFUMA repurposed it for impactful comfort. The key benefit is the zero-gravity position, which elevates your legs to form a 127° angle with the body. Not only does this put the spine “into neutral,” but it also alleviates back pressure to fuel your blood circulation. “Relax” for the win!
What are the differences in the clipped models?
- At the lower end of the pricing spectrum, our RClip models manually perfect the comfort of your relaxing chair.
- Meanwhile, our Futura and RSXA Clip ranges come with fixed armrests, a protective footrest bar and 4 non-slip pads – all designed to accentuate your chillaxed
- Lastly, LAFUMA’s Evolution brand is simply ultra. Ultra-comfort, ultra-purpose, ultra-size. Its state-of-the-art clip system removes all crosspieces in the back and leg rests. So, whether you’re taller, larger or smaller, its clean, elegant design is made for you!
How do you protect outdoor zero-gravity chairs?
3 measures, in order of priority. Number one: use our protective storage covers that you can buy for all LAFUMA zero-gravity chairs (not included). Number two: keep your lawn reclining chairs in a ventilated space such as a garden shed or garage. And number three: you could do a lot worse than a waterproof tarpaulin to protect your zero-gravity reclining chair from heat and humidity.

Exploring the benefits of zero-gravity outdoor chairs
In this hyper-connected, super-opinionated age where ratings are all the rage, it would be wrong to simply list the manifold benefits of our zero-gravity outdoor chairs. Decade after decade, LAFUMA has championed quality, and indeed quality, is synonymous with the benefits that follow!
First and foremost, Most of our zero-gravity chair is crafted with Batyline® fabric, which is both tear- and UV-resistant. Hey presto, no!?
Second, and much like our pool furniture and folding camping chairs, LAFUMA lawn reclining chairs are label-certified. This makes our furnishing designs a standard bearer of firmness and durability. Now that’s what we call powerful!
Third, our zero-gravity reclining chair is boosted by a HEL (High Elastic Limit) to bolster the chair’s strength and adaptation to weather elements, providing it with extra-large (XL) size capabilities to withstand up to 300 lbs. No mean feat, we know!
Fourth and finally, the zero-gravity lounge chair is fitted with a padded, removable headrest cushion. Did anyone say “comfort?!”

How much does an outdoor recliner typically cost?
The price of an outdoor recliner can vary wildly, ranging between $60 and $700. But for most good-quality recliners on the market, expect to pay somewhere between $200 and $400.
The steep difference in prices is all down to the quality of each outdoor recliner. Always consider the sturdiness of the frame, the UV and tear resistance of the fabric, the comfort of the padding, and the reclining positions the chair can adjust to. Can it tilt back into the zero-gravity position? Will you have to peel yourself off the chair because the fabric isn't breathable? Will sunscreen rub off your skin and stain the fabric? How easy is it to carry the outdoor recliner around and fold it away?
How to choose an outdoor recliner
All Lafuma outdoor recliners may look similar, but there are subtle differences that cater to different needs. The big question is, do you plan on bringing your recliner with you to the beach, on camping trips, or to barbecue parties at your friends’ houses? Or do you want a patio reclining chair that will mostly stay in one place?
In the first scenario, you want an outdoor recliner that is lightweight and easy to fold. So whatever recliner you are considering, have a look at the product details for information about the weight and dimensions of the recliner when folded.
On the other hand, if you plan on leaving your outdoor recliner in one place, it’s weight and dimensions aren’t as important. What is important is the comfort of the fabric. So make sure the outdoor recliner has a nice, thick layer of breathable padding.
Price is another factor you have to consider, because we don’t all have the same budget. The Lafuma outdoor recliner range goes from $199 to $699. All our products are designed for durability and comfort, with the premium end of the range being the heavier recliners that are made for style and pure comfort rather than transport and storage.
In all cases, no matter what type of recliner you’re looking for, make sure the product is durable. It has to have a strong steel frame, UV- and tear-resistant fabric, a high weight capacity, and be easy to clean.
Is there a weight limit for recliner chairs?
Yes, lawn recliner chairs have a weight limit. Within the Lafuma range, our weight limits vary between 220 and 330 lbs. For users who are very tall or large, there are outsized models on the market that can take between 400 and 500 lbs.
Pay careful attention to the weight limit. If you are too heavy for your outdoor recliner, you will hear it creak and feel it sag uncomfortably under your weight. In the short term, this makes the chair less comfortable to sit in. Long term, your recliner will wear out faster. And of course, the last thing you want is to haul your outdoor recliner all the way to your campsite or your friend’s barbecue, only for it to collapse the moment you sit in it. Save yourself the embarrassment and possible injury by checking that the recliner you have your eyes on is sturdy enough for the people who are going to use it.
