Like you aren’t thinking, “If I pulled down real hard I wonder how far I could make him fly...” The [Gravity Balans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gravity-c5) is touted to be the closest you can get to experiencing [zero gravity](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hover-dog-bed). The chair description says it has a [wide variety of positions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/king-living-king-cloud-recliner) in case you can’t decide if you need to snooze or watch the tube. The sloping seat has a wide space between the thighs and upper body, but leg cushions keep you from sliding to the floor like Wile E. Coyote after he slammed into an open door.
