BackSaver Chair - Zero Gravity Recliner Chair - Modern Wood & Leather Styling
Great on your back!
Made in U.S.A.
Asking $400.00 - or Best Offer
Original Price was around $1200.00
Large Size Recliner
Navy Blue Leather and Wood Finish
BackSaver wood-frame Original Signature Model Zero-Gravity Recliner takes its cues from a modernist era, with a sleek, curved armrest in natural wood. The retracting leg rest allows smooth exit and entry, and allows for an easy-to-achieve "conversation" position when you want to sit upright. The zero-gravity position, however, takes on whole new levels of comfort with the softness of leather, and an adjustable neck roll will have you relaxed in no time.
Dimension: Overall height: 48.5 inches; Overall Width: 31 inches; Overall Depth: 47inches (upright) 66 inches (reclined); Seat Depth: 18 inches; Wall Clearance 20-22 inches
What is Zero-Gravity ?
The Zero-Gravity technology is credited to the scientists and doctors at NASA and was utilized in the space program to reduce the amount of compressional forces exerted on the spine by the extreme speed at which the astronauts blast into space. During take-off, astronauts recline with their feet higher than their hearts with a torso-to-leg angle of 128 degrees +/- 7 degrees, the "Zero-Gravity" position (also referred to as the body's "neutral" position and the "90/90" position)

I had and sold one of these last year. It was made in early 70s. Original manufacturer no long around but I do believe backsavers has made an updated model with another company. The listing above did not sell. There was an estate sale online in 2015 that finished at $600 for a black one. I personally sold it on FB marketplace for $200 and it took one day for someone to contact me to purchase it. So I guess $150-$650 depending on selling venue and amount of time you're willing to have it listed. Since the newer model is almost identical and the zero-gravity chairs are making a comeback, I don't know if marketing it as vintage will necessarily benefit the sale. Those not familiar with quality furniture tend to automatically want newer pieces instead of "old & used" Just mentioning the name and original price they'll assume it's the newer model and this may influence price. Although the vintage tag can get some serious buyers willing to overpay for something they really want, this becomes more tricky selling local. The cost to ship this would probably be around $100. Just my thoughts though I'm not like a vintage chair dealer or anything.
