What is Zero-Gravity® ?

The Zero-Gravity® technology is credited to the scientists and doctors at NASA and was utilized in the space program to reduce the amount of compressional forces exerted on the spine by the extreme speed at which the astronauts blast into space.

During take-off, astronauts recline with their feet higher than their hearts with a torso-to-leg angle of 128 degrees +/- 7 degrees, the "Zero-Gravity" position (also referred to as the body’s “neutral” position and the “90/90” position). The reason Zero Gravity is a preferred posture for astronauts is any slight amount of disc compression will be exemplified by the speed and force of take off. 

Normal sitting postures can load 150 pounds of compression into the lower back, while standing can load 100 pounds of compression, and lying in a horizontal position can load 25 pounds of compression. Even a minor back or spinal disc problem can be exacerbated with 25 pounds of compression.

BackSaver™ designed a solution to this discomfort by mimicking the postures of the astronauts with a chair called a Zero-Gravity Recliner. A Zero-Gravity Recliner by BackSaver™ can reduce or eliminate the pressure that will cause spinal disc compression while sitting. This chair positions a person into a no-compression or Zero-Gravity posture by assuming the ideal angles of the torso to the leg the same way NASA positions the astronauts.

If you've never tried a Zero Gravity® recliner, you will be amazed by the difference compared to a normal recliner. Now at a great new price, why not treat yourself !

It's a feeling that is hard to describe, but as soon as you lean back into the zero gravity®, or anti-gravity position, and your legs are elevated, you can actually feel the pressure and discomfort being taken away from your lower back. Its a truly anti-gravity or zero-gravity experience. With your legs elevated your blood circulation improves and your tension fades away.

As you settle into weightless relaxation (just like the NASA Astronauts during launch), muscle tension is soothed and pressure on the spine is relieved.

Orthopaedic surgeons universally agree that the 'zero-gravity® stress free position' reduces pressure on your spine, relieving muscle tension and increasing circulation.

We are so wild about the idea of zero-gravity® that we even trade marked the term here in Australia ! (#1050862)

Testimonials:

“Over 20 years ago, I sat in a BackSaver chair for the first time. I never got over the fact that it was, by far, the most comfortable chair that I had ever sat in. A year and a half ago, I finally purchased one. To say I love it would be an understatement. The only negative thing I can say is that it is very difficult to get friends to GET OUT of the chair after they have tried it! Several of them are now planning to order their own.”     D. Shear / Pensacola, FL

“I was exhilarated when I sat in that chair!! I’ve had a damaged nerve in my lower back for years and have had so much pain while sitting...Your special chair was recommended by two doctors and now I understand why they insisted on my purchasing it.” C. Smith / Cincinnati, OH

“This is the most comfortable and pain relieving chair I have ever used. I suffer from a ruptured disc in my lower back and honestly believe that this chair has been a major factor in aiding me in avoiding major back surgery.” L.R. Williams / Durham, NC
