Ostrich Ladies Comfort Lounger

Reading on your stomach sounds relaxing until your lounge chair gives your face nowhere to go. The Ostrich Ladies Comfort Lounger makes room with an open face cavity and arm holes, so you can reach your book while lying face down. That is the reason to choose this chair: it gives prone readers and poolside loungers somewhere to put their head besides sideways.

The chest-support panel expands and contracts to accommodate different body sizes, rather than asking everyone to settle into the same shape. Heavy-duty polyester fabric sits on a white powder-coated steel frame, with a stated weight limit of 250 pounds. The chair measures 72 by 24 inches when open, and its 12-inch seat height makes getting down and back up easier.

It folds flat, weighs 10 pounds and includes a carrying strap for beach or backyard duty. This is a useful gift for someone whose idea of outdoor activity is turning another page while lying on their front.
