That's an excellent question! When it comes to relaxing outdoors, the angle of the backrest is absolutely crucial for comfort. For our premium outdoor benches, we've found through extensive ergonomic research and user testing that a backrest angle between 100 and 110 degrees offers the ideal blend of support and relaxation.
This specific range is carefully chosen. A 90-degree angle is too upright for prolonged lounging, while a significantly reclined angle can make sitting up or engaging in conversation awkward. Our 100-110 degree sweet spot provides gentle lumbar support, encourages a natural, slightly open posture that eases pressure on the spine, and allows you to unwind comfortably for hours, whether you're reading, socializing, or simply enjoying the view.
It's more than just a number. This angle is integrated into our overall design, which often features a slight contour to the backrest and is paired with carefully calculated seat depth and height. This holistic approach ensures your body weight is distributed evenly, minimizing strain. We craft our benches to be sanctuaries of comfort, inviting you to pause, breathe deeply, and truly enjoy your outdoor space. The goal is not just to sit, but to experience restful and rejuvenating comfort.
