Description
Does your back start complaining the moment you sit down, and complain louder when you stand back up? For a lot of people with ongoing back and neck pain, the hardest part of the evening is finding a position that doesn’t ask anything of the spine. That’s the gap the Human Touch Gravis ZG Chair is built to fill.
What zero gravity actually feels like here
Zero-gravity seating raises your legs near heart level and tilts you into a neutral posture, so your weight spreads out instead of stacking on your lower back. Human Touch says the position helps reduce spinal pressure and support circulation. Many people simply describe it as the back letting go. The Gravis adds air massage, so the pressure comes from inflating airbags rather than mechanical rollers — a broader, squeezing feel instead of a deep point massage.
The controls you’ll actually use
The headrest, backrest and footrest each power-adjust on their own from the remote, so you can drop the footrest without losing your neck support. Easy-reach buttons on the chair handle recline and incline with one touch. Three heat zones cover the back, seat and leg areas, and you can run them one at a time or all together — useful on days when only your lumbar area wants warmth. Massage and Stretch programs work the whole back, with the option to add lumbar focus. The Human Touch App opens up more settings beyond the remote.

It arrives in two boxes — the base and the pad set — and at 122 pounds it is not a one-person carry. Frames come in Beech, Black or Mahogany; pad sets in Gray, Saddle, Sand, Bone or Black. The upholstery is leather, which needs a quality leather cleaner and conditioner at least every three months to keep it from drying and cracking.
Honest limits and a few cautions
This is a comfort chair, not care. Air massage and warmth can make a stiff evening easier; they don’t change what’s going on underneath. Unplug it before cleaning, use a dry cloth only on the controller and power switch, and skip benzene, thinner and other solvents. If you’re pregnant, have an implanted electronic device, reduced sensation, circulation problems or recent surgery, ask your doctor before using the heat or massage. And pain that’s new, severe, follows an injury, or comes with fever, numbness or weakness needs a clinician, not a recliner. Human Touch backs the chair with a 5-year limited warranty.
