Hey Gang
I have noticed several comments on members who have these and was looking into them. I was wondering if those of you who have these would share about them how well you like them do they work as they say they do etc? Also do you have to order them off the net or are there stores around that you can find them in? I really would like to go sit in one and feel what it really feels like before I make that type of big purchase. Any help anyone can give me on this would be appreciated.

Kim,
I love my zero gravity chair. I was able to sit in it comfortably for hours, even sleep in it. It took all the weight off my lower back. I no longer need it, but I won't part with it. Guests & family members also love it. You can find them online, even generic versions. I've seen them in stores. Email me if you want to know where you can find one. When my back was hurting (prior to ADR sugery) it was my favorite possession.

Hello, I have a chair called "The Perfect Chair" purchased at Relax the Back. It has been a HUGE benefit for me. I consider it one of my most important pain defeating tools. I started having quite a bit of difficulty sleeping in a regular bed (nice ones too, DUX, Intelli-Bed etc.) a couple years ago. Now I sleep in the chair. Wife isn't too happy but at least I can stand up straight in the morning now. I believe it works so well due to its ability to put you in the "astronaut take-off" position which is about as non-load bearing as you can be without being submerged in water (or floating in space). Hope this helps.
Regards, Drufus Severely torn L/4-5 Significant DDD L4-5a and L5-S1 Living with it 20 years now. Dual ADR or hybrid soon.
