Hi everyone I'm after a bit of advice, recently I've been suffering with back issues that are worse after fishing, I've put this down to my chair which whilst comfortable is low and not easy to get out of, I'm after recommendations for chairs that are regular chair height and not low.

Thanks

Richie

Have a look at Helinox Chair one xl ...not the standard ..
They are very comfy and very light ,in fact you can literally wear one ,to carry it..

Now before someone is saying they are not adjustable, which is correct ...99.9 swims today are normally flat ...I use mine for all aspects of my fishing not just carping

I suffer with lower back issues also.

I use the nash moon chair and it helped a ton. Bear in mind that the chair is still huge when packed away. I'm reluctant to take it on 24 hour sessions because of this.

Moon chairs are very comfy bit very low and hard to get out of if you struggle like the original post says.

I wouldn't say it was low personally. Depends how tall you are I guess.

A chair with arms really helps with getting up too, that's my next purchase.... I'm getting old!

i have suffered with a bad back for a long time,
and I've had three minor opps, two epidurals, and then a lumber punch
and I've used a Nash Indulgence Big Daddy Recline Chair for a good few years
and got to be honest, it's been spot on,
i do use my lumber seat cushion on the chair that i have in my van, and that does help me,
plus a hot water bottle which i keep in my barrow that i use just in the odd moment my back plays up a bit on the lake,
i've tried a few, but found the nash chair the best,
but i have heard theres a few good ones that have come out over the last couple of years,
but i just stay with what i know, and am happy with

Im 6'4. Its the way you sit inside them that makes them hard to get out of. I dont have any problems but i would imagine there a bit of a nightmare if you have a bad back.

Solar SP CTech Recliner chair - I've got the low version which IMO is not particularly low even with the feet un-extended (and I'm 6'1") - the lumbar cushion is a godsend and the chair on the whole very easy to get out of . . .heavyish to lug compared with others but no probs on a barrow

I have a Sonik SK-tec recliner, which I got because of back and hip problems.

It is fine on level ground, but the extending legs do tend to slide back in with my 80kilos on them.
As said, fine for flat and level, any slopes, forget it.

Hi there,
I use THE HELINOX SUNSET Chair
It has a high back, fairly long legs and light a thing that is light!!!
No leg height adjustment but for most of the fishing I do it's fine and dandy, I did also get a
What they call a Ground sheet that levels the load, providing a wide, stable base that helps prevent sinking or tipping on soft and uneven ground.
Absolutely spot on.

I got shown a really good hack for Heliox recently ..using those golf practice balls ,you can cut the plastic easily to fit on the legs ,so no sinking ,...(nb,the xl diameter legs are bigger than the standard diameter)

I sat in a Moon chair at Farlows tackle shop and really struggled to get out of it !!!
if you have a bad back avoid it !
I have owned and used most chairs wychwood ,nash,trakker JRC etc etc
and in my opinion the Solar Tackle SP C-Tech Recliner Chair the high version is the best chair on the market for anyone with a bad back

the higher the BETTER for anyone with a bad back as its easier to get in and out of
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
