An 880-pound rating usually comes attached to a chair that feels like a piece of furniture, so the 15.4-pound carry weight is the number we kept coming back to. KingCamp's double folds into a shoulder-bag shape and still leaves room for two adults. The open size is 55 inches wide, and the seat depth is 20.9 inches, which gives your thighs somewhere to land instead of perching you on the edge.
The heat is easy to live with. Three levels run from 122°F to 140°F, and the low setting is mild enough to leave on once you are settled rather than something you switch off after a minute. We liked that the controls are straightforward and the padding is thick enough that the heating elements do not press through. It is not a deep lounge chair, but it is a comfortable place to spend a cold evening.
The frame is stiff when new, and one person may need to push from the center hubs to get it locked open. After a few cycles it loosens, but the first setup takes a firm hand. For the space and capacity, we still think the extra effort is worth it: this is the double we reach for when two people want a real seat and the walk from the car is not a hike. The 3cm padding is the detail that makes it feel less like a camp chair and more like a place to settle in.
Pros
- 880-pound weight rating
- Three heat levels up to 140°F
- 3cm padded seat and back
- Carry bag included
Cons
- 15.4 pounds is a two-hand haul
We recommend this one first because it balances an 880-pound rating with a 15.4-pound package, and the three heat levels warm quickly.
