I absolutely love this lounger. It is the most comfortable one I've ever owned, and the design allows me to lie face down without smashing my nose or twisting my neck. I can even read while lying face down. The pillows can be arranged to fit my individual needs and are held in place by velcrow. I have a little trouble folding the lounger up single-handedly, but that's okay. The great features outweigh this minor annoyance.

My husband & I have purchased many loungers over the years but always ended up getting rid of them because they were not comfortable and/or did operate easily. The Ergo lounger is everything that we have been looking for........comfort, great height of 18", easy set-up and light-weight. Love it!

THE MRS. HAS MS AND IT IS A GREAT ITEM, THE ONLY ONE WE COULD FIND THAT, WHEN SET UP FOR USE, IT IS 18" OFF THE GROUND WHICH MAKES IT EASIER TO USE.
SHE CAN GET OFF THE LOUNGER WITHOUT THE HELP OF ANOTHER PERSON.

My sibblings and I purchased this chair for our 69 year old Mom because she always said she wished they made a lounge chair so her face wouldn't get smashed or her neck hurt while sunning while laying on her stomach. And ta da they do. After researching several of the options I order this one. She loves it! She loves it so much we ordered her a second one for her home in Wisconsin. Now she has one in Arizona for the winter and Wisconsin for the Summer. The taller version is excellent for getting in and out of. It is very stable and will not flip. The extra cushions are great for placing where ever you need support.

This is a wonderful product. The higher legs on the lounger allows for easier rising off the lounger. I always felt like it was such a job trying to get out of any lounger or beach chair. This product is well made and exactly what I wanted. It is worth the price.

Overall pleased with this lounger with one exception. Since the chair has absolutely no give in the fabric (which might be considered a good thing) I find my tail bone starts to hurt fairly quickly when sitting in an upright position. The same stiffness of the fabric makes my chest (breasts actually ...sorry to be so graphic) ache when laying on my stomach.

I bought this a few days ago from a Goldbox deal as an impulse buy, despite the nagging feeling that I was overpaying. Judging from the build quality shown in the photos, even with the GB discount (final price $125), this item was overpriced.

I suffer from back problems and have been meaning to purchase a consumer version of the face-down table for several years, like the ones massage therapists and chiropractors have. I didn't do my research on this product and now I regret it. Higher quality lie-down tables can be had for near this price. The construction of this chair is similar to other folding beach chairs, consisting of hollow metal tube legs, and do not look particularly sturdy. One big minus I noticed right out of the box is the use of plastic washers and parts. I don't expect these to stand up to the stress of repeated folding and unfolding. likewise, the teeth/brackets on the underside that control the angling and height of the face rest are also made of plastic, which I don't expect to hold out over time from all the weight being put on them.

The face hole is too small, as many users have said, and the fabric of the cushion is not very soft on the face and overall, the pad is insufficiently thick. Also, when lying face-down, my feet have no comfortable position to go to. They have to stick straight down, or I have to angle them to the side, which are both not very relaxing. A pillow under the shin may help. When lying face-down, there is also no place to rest your arms in an elevated position. You have to let them hang straight down, which for me, is not very comfortable.

I am 5'7" and this product is just enough for me. if you are much taller than this, your feet will hang off the end. All be careful of rolling around if you sleep on this. you'll fall right off. it is only as wide as a normal adult body.

On the positive side, this unit comes almost entirely assembled, except for the face rest panel, which is attached using 2 bolts, washers, and a plastic spacer tube, then an end cap metal nut. Assembly took about 10 minutes with the included bolt tighteners.

I don't think it should be called a Therapeutic lounger. Ergo Lounger also makes a cheaper one (12" height) that is not as tall as this one (18" height). For $60-75, I would be happy with this purchase. For $125, I feel I have overpaid for a glorified folding beach chair with a face hole/fold-away cot, not a bona-fide therapeutic lounger. It should not be advertised as a therapeutic anything.

Points:
-1 for overall value
-1 for build quality vs price ratio.

in retrospect, I should've looked around first, and purchased something like this Master Massage 25-Inch Skyline Sport Size Portable Massage Table

I bought this lounger because I have orthostatic intolerance and need to lie down perfectly flat at times. I thought the face hole would be a plus when lying prone.

I am a slender person but while lying face down on this chair, I have trouble finding a place to comfortably fit my arms and totally relax . My husband, who has a larger build and is broad shouldered, can't use the chair at all - face up or face down.

Also, when the chair is flat and I want to lie on my back, I have to put the larger pillow under my head for comfort... but there is a bar located under the shoulder area that the fabric drapes over, so the bar digs into my back. It has some hard foam padding, but that doesn't help. It's very uncomfortable.

After using this chair for almost a month, I would recommend it only to very petite people who like to lie face down, but can't keep their heads turned while doing so. And with the caveat that even then, it's not very comfortable.

I bought 2 of these and returned one. The face hole was not right for my husband. His glasses hit the side and made it uncomfortable. I think that if they added additional pillow/s for different face shapes it would work better. I am looking forward to trying it out this summer.

The quality of the chair is very good. I think the side frame rails should be flat for better comfort when laying face down. Also for those of us who wear glasses and like to read, it's a little difficult when laying face down. Still trying to perfect it with an air mattress for comfort or chase lounge pad, as it is a little stiff, not too comfortable without some sort of padding. All and all as I got this for $65 it's worth the money, but definatly NOT worth the full price of $165.
