When choosing an anti-gravity lounger, it is important to consider where the lounger will be used, who will use it, and what one expects out of the lounger in terms of durability an life span. In most cases, an anti-gravity lounger is meant for just one person, but there are loungers that are twice as wide as the standard models. These can be used by two adults of average size at the same time. Furthermore, most anti-gravity lounger models are made out of materials that lend themselves to the outdoors. For those who want a lounger that is more appropriate for indoor use, there are anti-gravity loungers that are designed to look more like easy chairs.

It is also important to consider the reputation of the manufacturer. This type of chair has become rather popular in recent years and there are new companies adding their products to the market. Read consumer reports and customer reviews online to find out which manufacturers and models are known to be the most comfortable and the most long-lasting. A great way to make sure that an anti-gravity lounger will have a long life span is to purchase a model that comes with a warranty.

Another important feature is the number of positions that an anti-gravity lounger offers. Some more basic models only offer two positions. In one position, the person seated in the anti-gravity lounger is sitting upright. In the other, he is almost fully reclined. Some people prefer to have more options than this. In this case, it is best to go with an anti-gravity lounger that offers multiple positions.

One of the best ways to choose an anti-gravity lounger is to try out a few models. Go to a home store or a furniture store and sit in a number of the loungers. Try out the various positions to see how they all feel. Get a sense of the product's durability.

For some people, the weight of anti-gravity loungers is rather important. This is especially true for people who plan to take their loungers with them to the beach, the park, and other various outdoor events. Many anti-gravity loungers are collapsible, making them much easier to transport from place to place. Models that are made out of materials that are lighter than others, however, are generally the easiest to transport, but may not be the most durable.
