Likeall camping gear, these comfort-oriented chairs come in a range of sizes, styles, and budgets.
The chairs durable materials and full body length add up to a heavier weight.

We love how easily we could maneuver the chair to our desired comfort.
It also comes with a plushadjustable pillowthat can be removed if desired.

Overall, the fabric also felt very durable, and it did a great job at wicking away moisture.
The weight and lack of carry straps make it less portable than others.
For all-day lounging in the outdoors, the Timber Ridge Zero Gravity topped our list for its lasting comfort.
We found that the oversized recliner perfectly shapes and supports the body.
We also love the adjustable headrest and the option to have a folding side table and cup holder.
A rocking chair isnt just for the front porch.
We found the seat and back of the chair to be taut, yet supportive.
The chair also features a phone pocket and cup holder for handy storage and convenience.
We needed a place to rest our feet to get the full comfort of the reclining position.
The Nemo Stargaze Camp Chair combines the support of a recliner with the serenity of a swaying hammock.
We love the rocking feature this chair offers and how comfortable it is to gently swing while seated.
But at nearly eight pounds, its far from a backpacker-friendly design.
In the real world, we tested them based on the same factors in our backyards and at parks.
Some reclining models simply fold in half while others can be disassembled and stored in a carry bag.
If traveling by RV or car camping, the weight and volume may not be an obstacle.
Whereas campers traveling some distance on foot or by canoe might opt for lighter and more compact models.
Higher chairs can mean easier in and out while ventilation keeps air flowing to stay comfy in warmer weather.
Chairs with lumbar support and leg or footrests are better bets for lasting comfort while lounging.
