Does the zero gravity chair really offers zero gravity ?

guru — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 09:28:12 +0000

The basic concept for the development of the zero gravity chair actually came from NASA and the experiences of its astronauts who spent long hours in space. During the process of take-off of the rockets, astronauts lie back with their feet higher than their hearts. This position of the body reduces the amount of force exerted on the spine by the extreme speed at which they travel in their space craft. Generally in an upright standing or sitting position, gravity exerts pressure on the spine causing the spinal discs to compress and spinal muscles to contract to maintain balance of the body. When the force of the gravity is neutralized, muscles rest and the spinal discs return to their normal size and shape.

The zero gravity chairs are manufactured by the Dutch Stokke and it promises to deliver comfortable sitting to the extreme level. The zero gravity chair allows you to sit in four positions, being suitable for a wide range of situations like from a comfortable working position to a reclined position and a feeling of almost weightless. The sloping seat of a zero gravity chair allows the user a wider space between the thigh and the upper part of the body, the leg cushions prevent sliding forward when working at a table. When leaning back legs of the user will be lifted higher than their head providing them with the best position for relaxation. When the user leans back in a zero gravity chair, it provides a whole new level of relaxing comfort. Doctors also recommended the unique position offered by a zero gravity chair to help relieve pressure and stress on the body parts.

The traditional rocking chairs move on the rocker attachment of the chair and the process of oscillation involves the movement of the whole rocking chair unit. While the glider rocking chair, moves on its own suspension system and the base of the glider rocking chair is stationary while the seat moves freely and independently. The motion of the glider rocking chair is smooth and soothing the gentle to-and-fro motion is very pleasing. The glider rocking chair has its seat suspended in its own frame. This allows the unit to glide back and forth instead of rock, so the glider rocking chair moves more smoothly than a traditional rocker chair. The glider rocking chairs takes up less space usually. The glider rocking chairs are available in quite large variety of materials to choose from.

Usually the traditional rocking chairs have a eternal look and do not have any moving parts to wear out. But the traditional rocking chairs always had the danger of having arms or legs pinched beneath the rockers. On the other hand the smooth movement of a glider rocking chair depends solely on its moving parts, though the hinges and slides could rust or wear out over a period of time. Some of the latest gliding rocking chairs available in the market lock itself before a user tries to sit or stand. An automatic-locking system prevents the gliding rocking chair to move as a user sits down. Once safely seated, the lock releases, permitting the user to experience the smooth and relaxing gliding motion of the chair. When it’s time to leave the chair, the lock automatically engages again to secure the glide for a steady and safe way out. Side stabilizers and armrests provide further security during transfers.
