Chairs and back ache (20 posts / 1,989 views)

Got out at the weekend for the first time in months but am only just getting over the back ache I suffered! Was fine after the first night but after spending all day in my chair on the Saturday my back was starting to play up and by the time I woke up on the Sunday I was in all sorts of bother and was seriously worried if I'd be able to lift my gear into the car!

Hoping that just a new chair will sort out my issues as really don't want to have to fork out for a new bedchair as well (Current chair is a JRC Stealth recliner and using a Trakker Oval Mk1 bedchair) Looking through previous posts the Solar SP-CTech appears to be the default option for comfort but has anyone else suffered back pain and found the Solar to be OK? Or is there anything else that might be more suitable.
Suspect the high option may be a bit kinder on the back but will this fit under a brolly in the rain? I'm only 5'9" if that makes a difference

Cheers

I find the low recliner solar perfect but I've just had the new Solar sofa chair.I have not used it yet but first impressions are it's going to be mega comfy.It looks like the low recliner could be going in the classifieds

The Solar high version is too high for under a brolly, at 5'9 as well, it feels too high in general really though it is really comfortable. I'm looking at switching to the Solar sofa chair as well.

Put a small soft cushion at the base of your chair to support your lower back.

At the front it is 40cm high and at the back it's 30cms on the lowest setting but it does drop down when you sit in it,at the highest setting it's 49cms at the front and 40cms at the back.The back legs extend alot more at the back than the front and the back headrest is higher than on my recliner,I think if you have the back legs extended so the chair is more level you will have no issues getting in and out of it mate.I hope this helps

Hi

I found both the SP solar bedchair and SP chair to firm for me. I have sensitive trigger points in the lower part of my back so it depends on what's causing your back pain. Best to get out and have a look if you can. I use a SIM on my bedchair and it makes a huge different.

Sat in it for quite a while today,its superb but time on the bank will be test.I like how there is no gap for cold air to get through where the arms on the recliner can

Thanks all, think I'll try and find somewhere local that has the Solar chair to test it out.

Solar sp c-tech is very comfy . I suffer with a bad back , but not with this . Don't be fooled by the ‘low' version which isn't that low at all and I find it just right 👍

The solar high recliner with the lumbar support has done wonders for my back.

Nash moon chair. Not the lightest but I can move around in it, curl up in it, drape myself across it so I'm not sitting/slouching in one position
