Best camping chair for sore backs ?

[The Flying Scotsman]

I’ve had a quick read through the threads that came up on a search but am looking for recommendations for fold away comfy camping chairs that don’t bring your knees up higher than your arse.
My wife done her back in last year and struggled with our current basic ones.
They need to collapse down into long thin bags for storage in the cubby hole at the back.
I don’t mind paying for quality.
Links would be great thanks.

There are a very few fold-up chairs that recline. I have no experience of it, but it looks good, if pricey:

Thanks it doesn’t particularly have to recline.
It’s just most kind of lift your legs up at the knees and sink your arse down.
It makes them difficult to get in and out of.

I recently bought one of these. One of the most comfortable chairs I've had. Not high at the front and solid arms to help you up.

Some Big Agnes chairs on SportPursuit at a really good price, although still not cheap. I havent tried them but they are a reputable brand so have ordered a couple to try & return if they dont work for me. Pack down small as well. Similar design to Helinox.

Yes they do a membership thing like Costco. Drop seller so very similar. They have been going for 15 years so quite legit. The models I have ordered are:

Big agnes

Mica Basin XL Camp Chair (Blue) £64.99​

Big Agnes​

Big Six Chair (Asphalt) £99.99​

I went for them based on wider reviews, an expectation of quality and the small packed down size. My current campchairs were expensive, but have lasted 25 years and are a bit tired. Plenty of info/reviews on Google for you to check the model without creating a SportPursuit account.

Big Agnes is a very reputable US brand, but isn't sold much in the UK - the reviews are mostly from the US

Also have a look at Alpkit

We bought a couple of Isabella Thor Camping Chairs. They are high back types and are sublimely comfortable.

I've just upgraded my folding camping chair.

Ordered it yesterday, hopefully will have it for CJ.

We used to buy inexpensive camping chairs which lasted a trip or three with varying degrees of comfort. Two years ago, on the basis that over a year we spend more time sitting in camp chairs than on the sofa at home, so bought a pair of the Ever Advanced camp chairs from Amazon.Not cheap but very comfortable, recline and fold down into a narrow bag. Have already lasted longer than their predecessors and still like new.

They look really good. Good height from the floor as well. Quite a big folded up size though.

Completely agree. Think its worth spending the money to get it right.
