NASA Research: Zero Gravity = Zero Back Stress

I think a lot about relieving back and stress, but I seldom think about gravity as a stress inducer. Well, our friends over at Backsaver think about the gravity factor a great deal. And they've built extensive NASA research on the subject into a phenomenal line of zero-gravity recliners, work chairs and other accessories.

Their latest zero-gravity wonder is the Sonsie recliner, a great-looking marvel that goes equally easy on your back and your budget.

NASA discovers how to neutralize the effects of super-gravity

Gravity, by its nature, puts constant stress on our back and joints. Since astronauts undergo extraordinary g-forces when blasting off into outer space, NASA had to find a way to neutralize this effect.

They discovered the ideal position in which the back and joints can withstand these g-forces with no ill effect. So, like the astronauts, your knees are above your heart and there's no pressure on your back at all. This precise geometry is called the zero-gravity position.

The designers and engineers at Backsaver built a whole product line around this knowledge. They were the first and they're still the best.

Backsaver launches the Sonsie recliner

The newest addition to their line, the Sonsie recliner, goes well beyond just the therapeutic benefits of relaxing in the zero-gravity position.

The Sonsie is an unusually versatile recliner and the first of its kind to sell for under a thousand dollars. "Versatile" seems like an odd word to use for a recliner, but it's true.

Most recliners have two positions - upright and reclined. The Sonsie is different...it lets you set the adjustment wherever is most comfortable for you.

Superior fit, finish and value

The Sonsie has a sleek, curvacious look that I just love for its form-follows-function elegance. The tapered leg rest is a great example of what I mean. Beyond just looking good, it makes the Sonsie that much easier to get into and out of.

Its smooth, well-balanced motion never gives you that "falling backward" sensation.

And I've always been partial to leather upholstery. The Sonsie comes in black or tan leather. And unlike other recliners, it doesn't cost extra. Sweet.

I could go on, but I think you get the picture. The Sonsie sets a new benchmark for value - it's therapeutic, it's gorgeous and it's eminently affordable.
