No, the zero gravity chair will not enable the user to float. It will, however, assist the user to relax in a new and more effective way. The chair is designed to reduce or eliminate the pressures felt by the body when in an upright-seated posture. The concept originated with NASA in its search for the ideal position for astronauts during lift-off. While pulling free of the Earth's atmosphere, the gravity effects experienced by an astronaut are extreme. They required a reclined position, that would distribute the stress level safely across their bodies. This led to the development of the zero gravity seat concept.

Borrowing from the NASA concept, the structure of the zero gravity chair promotes the sensation of weightlessness by its support of the human body. The chair reduces stress on the spine and ribcage. It can raise and extend the lower legs at or above the level of the heart. This body posture will lessen the burden on the heart, decompress the spine, promote the expansion of lung capacity and increase levels of oxygen in the blood. This also encourages healthy blood circulation. Therefore, the chair not only optimizes the user’s comfort level but also encourages his robust health. It promotes healing or general good health via improved circulation and relieved stress. Its enhancement of proper posture may also contribute to preventing further injury.

For people with back pain, the zero gravity chair is a miracle-worker for a combination of reasons. Along with spinal disc stress reduction, the chair also relaxes muscles. This relaxation also alleviates back pain by easing muscle tension. Other muscular problems may also be improved. 

The chair does not just promote physical health. Other more recent research suggests the zero gravity chair may influence clear thinking and creativity as well as ease depression, perhaps due to the improved circulation and relief from pain and discomfort.

In this exquisitely designed and constructed zero gravity furniture technology, the user can relax in excellent health and peace of mind.
