Camp Chairs, Recliners, Zero Gravity for BIG GUYS.
Folded size is not an issue. 300# capacity, Heavy Duty, Indestructible is ALL that counts.

so all 270# of me says none of the average "I love this chair" will not work for me. I have found a few zero recliners built for big guys and I'd pay $300 for one but how to find the right one when no one within 500 miles carries them.

I like these... As comfortable as a Lazy Boy, and pretty compact folded but I'm looking for someone who has a Heavy Duty Recliner camp chair.

"A" style


or

"B" style


Anyone have experience with the different styles?
Folded size of either works fine for me.

I feel you. I'm 305 normally, 310 after Covid-19! There is a lot of info by women for women around camping gear and clothing, but absolutely nothing for big fellas. Ive reached out to numerous outdoor mags and sites about big mens gear/clothing/etc with zero response.

I have yet to find a regular, non reclining chair, that is rated to 250+ and I fit in. I am not fat at all, just a big guy with big bone structure... meaning my hips dont fit in those narrow ass chairs! Find anything else big guys can benefit from?

I'm kind of remote, and Amazon does have a great return policy so I'll likely pull the trigger this month. And hope for the best. I only need one.

ALPS Engineering King Kong. You can generally catch them for $50 or less if you shop around. It's wide enough my wife doesn't like them because the arms are too wide for her.

Coleman makes one. I paid like $30 USD for it. I'm over 300 LBS. It doesn't recline, but damn those are expensive.

So much for that idea, All the Amazon Zero Gravity Recliners are delayed due to COVID 19 shipping issues, they gave a maybe delivery date of August 4th, but no guarantee.

I was just going to post the same thing. I sat in these and it certainly qualifies as big and sturdy.
