Lafuma Futura XL Air Comfort Zero Gravity Recliner (Acier Black) Extra Large Padded Folding Outdoor Reclining Chair

I got this to replace an old Lafuma. I couldn't imagine summer without being able to really stretch out (I'm 6'2") and feel completely relaxed. This new one is longer and wider, with more cushioning; has an attractive, high-quality black coating.It's light enough to easily shift from one spot to another.. plus, It came fully assembled - all I had to do was lift it out of the box and it was good to go.

I needed something with a little cushion. It's not the most comfortable zero gravity chair, the lumbar support is a little off for me. But the cushions are soft enough that I think it will work just fine. It is a little stiff to push back, but it's brand new, and it wasn't a problem for me...I'm short and a size 3. It seems very sturdy and I'm happy with my purchase.

Comfortable chair but a little short for a 6 foot tall male

After reading lots of reviews here on Amazon I have to admit I was skeptical but went ahead and purchased anyway. The chair is undoubtably the best I have ever owned. The only nitpick, as others have expressed, is the lack of a cup holder, other than that, it's perfect.Lots of negative reviews I read concerned the lack of a true locking mechanism for holding the chair in a certain position. It does not, have that ratchet mechanism that in my opinion is a pain to use, instead it has a mechanism to increase or decrease the friction on the slide bar. I have not yet found it necessary to use it as the chair is so well engineered that it holds me in any recline position. I'm 5'10" and weigh 165 lbs. and it works perfectly for me but I can't say for sure it would preform the same for all shapes and sizes. A friend of mine (5' 11" 230lbs} tried it out briefly and I didn't see any indication of him struggling to hold it in position.It's very comfortable and I would say that anyone who has back issues (like me} would find this chair a welcome addition.The only other complaint I have is that when my wife sat in the chair she didn't want to get out of it. So it ended up costing me another $259 to get one for her! But hey, it's cheaper than a divorce, right?Buy the chair, you won't be sorry.

I have purchased several LaFuma chairs to do Reflexology, as this chair brings the feet up higher than most other zero-gravity chairs. It is also rumored that these chairs are well-built, and I need them to be sturdy for clients. With my last LaFuma, the back suddenly gave out while a client was sitting in it, after having the chair for several years, so I purchased this updated, padded version of the LaFuma chairs for over $300 with tax, and after a year & a half, the back of the chair suddenly gave out while a customer was in it. Because of Covid, I was not taking many clients at all, so this chair had very, very little use in the time I had it. For $300, I definitely did not get the value out of the chair. I see other zero-gravity chairs for a third of the price, but fear they may not bring the feet up high enough for my needs, but I would be tempted to buy those if it was just for my own use. I can say that I have had the Lafuma chairs with webbed material, canvas material, and the newer padded versions, as well as laced-up material attachments and the clip-version of attachments. If you were in the chair for a very long time, you might prefer the cushioned version, but all have been very comfortable, and I have clients that come in stating that they've heard about my chair & the comfort of it. Zero-gravity chairs are nice, but I definitely did not get my $300 worth of value out of this one.They state there is a 5-year warranty in the description on Amazon, but when you try to get information on that, they say to talk to the seller; and when you go to the seller, they say they may only recently have started selling it, and you have to go to the manufacturer. I am on hour 3 of trying to get any assistance on the warranty, and after 45 minutes of being put on hold by Amazon Customer Service, to see if the warranty will cover any of it. I am currently submitting on-line emails to the manufacturer. Meanwhile, I need a chair immediately for my clients, and will have to purchase something, as I find support of the products is very tedious, and very likely non-existent.Because LaFuma touts the durability of the chairs, I am disappointed in my purchase.

If your back is bothering you, this helps! I’m no doctor, but it’s a very practical lawn chair!

This chair is very comfortable, if a bit squeaky. Unfortunately, the clips that secure the fabric to the frame failed just after 2 years, well short of the 5 year guarantee they advertise for the product. It seems like planned obsolescence, as the previously available cord system could be replaced cheaply without needing to throw away the whole upholstery. I've attempted to contact support and will update this review if they make good on their warranty.UPDATE: I contacted support through the form on their website and they sent me a replacement fabric mattress.

Product surpassed expectations in terms of comfort, sturdiness, and my perception of the product quality (after 4 months of daily use). I bought an item that was in "Used - Like New" condition, at half the list price of 330 dollars.Tip for easier use: When returning the chair to an upright position, use your feet to push down on the foot rest while pulling on the front of each arm rest.Of minimal concern or easy to overlook (at half the list price):- Unfolding the chair can be a little tricky at first, but acceptable after initial use- The levers on the chair arms that lock the chair when reclined are sturdy, though they take some hand strength to engage; when the levers are fully engaged (i.e., when the chair is reclined), they do not completely lock into place; so, you have to balance your upper body a little in order to maintain the desired level of recline.
