Lafuma Recliner Chairs
Since 1954, Lafuma has been making recliner chairs, continually improving upon previous designs and introducing new products. Lafuma introduced the patented Zero Gravity recliner and utilizes the features of that early engineering in every chair they make today. The entire line of Lafuma reclining chairs is the top of the line in comfort, quality and functionality.
Starting with High Limit Elastic (HLE) steel and aluminum alloy, Lafuma's frames are designed for both a beautiful aesthetic and an exceptionally lengthy lifespan. From there they add a variety of colors and comfortable fabrics resistant to all the elements. Lafuma also backs up everything they make with a 2-year warranty. If you've been shopping around, you know that a testament to quality like that is a rarity in a market so filled with inferior products.
So now, the only question you have to ask yourself is this: do you want to go to a discount store and pay hard-earned money for something that may last a season or two (and who knows where it was made), or do you want the best? Lafuma and their diverse line of reclining chairs make the choice easy.
To see how these chairs stack up to one another, check out our compare chart.
What is a Zero Gravity Recliner?
A zero gravity recliner is a chair that allows you to rest with your feet raised higher than your heart. By extending your lower legs and feet above your heart, the load on your spine is reduced, allowing your vertebrae to decompress after a full day of walking, standing, and sitting upright.
If you do a search for zero gravity recliners, you'll often find references to NASA and a seating position that recreates astronauts' posture at liftoff. However, it's worth noting that in 1954 - before NASA was even founded - the Lafuma brothers were busily designing and creating the world's first zero gravity recliner. Indeed, Lafuma was the first to patent the technology in the mid 20th century.
Sitting in the zero gravity position provides not only the most comfortable seating position imaginable; it also provides numerous benefits for your health and general well-being.
Lafuma zero gravity recliners such as the Lafuma Hybrid, Lafuma Futura and popular Lafuma RSX transition easily from a comfortable upright seated position all the way back to fully reclined, zero-gravity position.
What are the health benefits of a Zero-Gravity Recliner?
Relaxing in a zero gravity recliner has these effects:
- Reduced spinal pressure
- Relief of muscle tension
- Decreased heart pressure
- Expanded lung capacity for deeper breathing
- Improved blood circulation
- Raised blood/oxygen levels
Who benefits from relaxing in a Zero Gravity recliner?
Everyone, especially after a hard days work. By reducing pressure on your heart and spine and improving your circulation, even a few minutes spent relaxing in a zero gravity recliner after a long day is a proven way to relieve stress and unwind in a way that is both safe and beneficial to your health.
The health effects of zero gravity seating are especially beneficial to people with back problems, as a Lafuma Recliner's ability to neutralize the effects of gravity on your spine not only relieves stress but also enhances your body's natural healing properties.
As you lean back and lift your feet above your heart, the muscle tension, which has built up over the course of the day, will subside, your spine will decompress, and you will be able to breathe deeply and freely thanks to the reduced burden on your heart, back, and lungs.
Taking the time to unwind in a Lafuma zero gravity recliner is a gift to your back, heart, health, and happiness. [return to top]
