Is there anything better than a warm summer day on the beach with a good book?  With the summer officially here, many of us will spend some time lying on the beach or by the pool side.  Of course, there’s always the simple and old-fashioned way to go about it — lying on a towel.  But how comfortable is that?  If you’re ready to invest in a new beach chair, The ErgoLounger is what you want.

The ErgoLounger offers multiple adjustments, allowing you to sit up or lay down comfortably. The backrest adjusts at various angles; the lower leg can be leveled or lowered to the ground’ and the armrest height can be raised to support your arms or lowered and be unnoticeable.

I love the opening at the top of the backrest. It allows for comfortable face-down lying to read or take a nap.  The same hole is also very handy if you have long hair and like to wear it in a pony tail — you know how uncomfortable it can be to have your head be pushed forward by a high back rest.  I always end up with a funny looking bun on top of my head in order to maintain a better head and neck position.  Well, no more funny hairdo for me this summer with The ErgoLounger!

The ErgoLounger also comes with a set of pillows to better support your body and customize your comfort with every position.  The face and neck pillow pads your face when lying face down and supports your cervical spine (your neck)—when lying face up or sitting.  The abdominal and lumbar pillow works to support your lower back in the face-up or sitting position.  The same pillow can be used under your belly when lying face down to reduce lumbar lordosis – the curve of the lower back.  The combination of both pillows can be used when lying face down to provide more space and comfort to those women who are well endowed in the breast department.

I can’t vouch for the manufacturer’s claims that the ErgoLounger “provides gentle stretching action to the back and neck” and “passively stretches the vertebrae to relieve nerve and disk pressure.” But the chair does offer good ergonomic features to allow the user to customize it according to their positions and activities.  The ErgoLounger is sturdy, can support up to 300 lbs., is light (12 lbs. or less) and easy to carry. So if you’re looking for a new beach chair, I recommend it.

Enjoy the summer and don’t forget the sun block!
