“We sat in this chair for over two hours and tried all its various reclining positions, including the face cavity—a game changer when lying on your stomach,” says writer Julia Fields from The Spruce.
Fields evaluated over 30 beach chairs at beaches all over the US, including California, New York, and Florida. They evaluated their portability, ease of use, comfort, and durability. Each chair was toted across the sand to determine the best designs that are easy to set up!
Overall, the Ostrich Deluxe 3N1 was dubbed “Best Adjustable.” You can read their article here!
Maximized Relaxation
Fields recommends Ostrich to “maximize your day of relaxation.” Testers sat in the chair for over two hours. They loved the cutouts on the backrest for your arms so that you can comfortably lie flat, read your book, or even check your phone! They noted, “We felt no usual neck discomfort from craning our heads side-to-side to find the right position.” They were able to reach their book comfortably!
The adjustable footrest also added comfort, allowing them to recline and lie on their backs or stomachs in a fully supported position.
Transportation
The testers walked a “decent distance” from their car to their spot on the beach, and they “never experienced any discomfort.” Ostrich chairs ensure not only comfort on the beach but also prioritize comfort to and from the beach. The extra-padded shoulder strap “has a surprising amount of padding, making the carrying experience even easier,” said Fields.
Extras
The cup holder rotates under the wide wooden armrests when not in use. Fields also noted the sturdy side pockets for sunscreen or your phone. The chair's design incorporates convenience and comfort into every detail.
Fields argued that although spending $100 on a beach chair may seem impractical, “our experience proves that this design is well worth the cost, especially if you prefer to stretch out on the beach.”
In short, if you love long, relaxing beach days, achieving an even tan, and being comfortable in all positions, the Ostrich Deluxe 3N1 is a must-have.
Consumer Reports says Ostrich has "Most Bells and Whistles"

Whether you're soaking up the sun at the beach, lounging by the pool, or relaxing at the park, you deserve a comfortable place to unwind. That’s why a quality beach chair is just as essential as your sunscreen, sunhat, and favorite snacks. Consumer Reports evaluated big-name beach chairs, including Coleman, Ostrich, Tommy Bahama, and Walmart. They found the Ostrich Original 3N1 to have the most “bells and whistles”.
Portability
Although a bit heavier than the other chairs evaluated, CR found the chair to be much wider and longer, ultimately creating more comfort on the beach. It took the evaluators a few extra minutes to unfold and fold the chair back up because they needed to ensure the headrest and other components of the chair were tucked in. CR noted that the process was not difficult at all, and the detachable shoulder strap boosts its portability.
Comfort
CR expressed their preferences on the breathable mesh fabric; they found that a thicker fabric would feel a bit stiffer. For those with those preferences, Ostrich offers other models, like the Deluxe 3N1, with a stiffer fabric!
The footrest, the chair's five adjustable positions that can convert to a lounge chair, was dubbed “a few clever design choices help ramp up its comfort”. Unlike the Coleman chair, the back of the Ostrich chair comes up higher and measures 12 inches from the ground! The seat is overall roomier!
Features
“We loved the built-in cup holder that is smartly positioned beneath the right armrest so that it swivels out to the right but takes up zero armrest space—it’s genius,” said Consumer Reports. The cup holder can be tucked out of your way!
The wooden armrests were noted as wider than the others. There is also a cutout in the armrests to make carrying easier! They emphasized the chair's unique feature of the face and arm hole cutouts, which allow you to lie on your stomach. This feature truly makes Ostrich Chairs special.
The Original 3N1 comes in 3 colors!
OverallWhile Consumer Reports had its positive and negatives about Ostrich, one thing is for certain “if you want to invest in just one chair and you want it to effortlessly convert to a lounge chair and be as luxurious as a beach chair can possibly be, the Ostrich 3N1 Beach Chair is calling your name.”

Ostrich Chairs are Taking Over TikTok
National publications regularly feature the Ostrich as one of the best chairs; now, regional presses are also seeing the praise for the chair. In a recent review in Penn News, Ostrich was dubbed “a quality beach chair.” We’re excited that Penn News recognized Ostrich. In this blog post, we’ll dive into what they had to say.
“With all these sunny adventures ahead, a quality beach chair should be at the top of your list,” says writer Ashley Dill from Penn Live. For regular beachgoers, having a chair that’s lightweight, comfortable in any position, and easy to carry can make all the difference in their beach experience.
Why Beachgoers Love This Chair
Dill found that the face and arm holes are a fan favorite—beachgoers can read or scroll comfortably while lying on their backs. The Ostrich Ladies Comfort and On Your Back Chair adds extra supportive comfort; the design offers a chest cavity that accommodates all body types while lying face down. The chair truly creates comfort for everyone.
When beachgoers are no longer lying face down, just close the face cavity and relax with the cushioned headrest! Dill noted that the size of the chair is another bonus! The 8-inch seat height makes getting in and out a breeze.
The chair’s adjustable five-position frame allows everyone to find their ideal lounging position. With built-in cupholders, a zippered pocket, or even a cooler bag in the back, the Ostrich Chair has all the necessities for a perfect and relaxing beach day.
When it’s time to pack up, Ostrich makes it easy. The chair easily folds up and is easily carried with backpack straps. Some models even feature umbrella straps for hand-free carrying!
Quality
Dill described her Ostrich experience perfectly; from her comfortable experiences tanning with the face and arm holes, the simple, convenient features for her things, and the easy transportation of the chair to and from the beach, readers can truly understand why the Ostrich is a must-have.
The quality of the chair, its unique features, and the details that put your comfort first are why the Ostrich chair is going viral on TikTok.

Ostrich Deluxe 3N1 is the “Best Splurge”
“This three-in-one padded beach chair is more expensive than others on this list, but its added accessories make it one of the best options to invest in,” says writer Rena Behar from Better Homes & Gardens. Behar and her team tested 26 styles of beach chairs based on five categories: portability, ease of use, comfort, durability, and value.
Ostrich was recognized as one of the 26 as “Best Splurge”. Read more

Portability & Ease of Use:
Behar found that the 9.5-pound chair was easy to carry! Its aluminum frame and extra-padded strap made this chair easy to transport. Behar also recognized that the padded strap stands out amongst other options because it truly cushions your shoulder!
Like any first-time-use beach chair, opening and closing the chair can be a learning experience. Behar pointed out that once she got the hang of the chair's accordion-like setup, it’s a smooth process! While in transit Behar also noted it was easy to pack in and out of your car!
Comfort:
“Part of what makes this beach chair stand out is that, in addition to wide armrests, it also features a footrest and an adjustable back pillow for added comfort,” Behar pointed out. The Deluxe 3N1 was designed with maximum comfort in mind. Behar spent over an hour in the chair and was “comfortable the entire time.”
Durability:
“Regardless of how you adjust the chair, we noted that it felt sturdy and stable,” said Behar. No matter the position, Ostrich created a chair that's sturdy enough so that you can get comfortable at any angle.
Value:
The chair features side pockets and a cup holder that can slide under your armrest when not in use—these are just the little details that add value to the chair. The biggest benefit this chair has is its “massage-table-style cutout” for your face and arms to tan your back comfortably. With the chair offered in five colors, a padded footrest, cup holder, side pockets for extra storage, a wide frame, and an adjustable back pillow, the Deluxe 3N1 is truly worth every penny.

Best Reclining
Goldberg found that The Ostrich Deluxe 3-in-1 Beach Chair was the best reclining and most comfortable seat on the beach! The chair did not disappoint, and it checked off all the criteria. The chair allows for beachgoers to find the perfect angle because it smoothly reclines in five different positions. Goldberg also mentioned the benefits of the padded footrest with its three adjustable positions, creating comfortability whether you're reading, napping, or even eating lunch!
What stood out to Goldberg was the footrest and Ostrich’s signature open-close headrest that can be used as a pillow or a face cradle!
It’s Got Everything
“This chair has pretty much everything you could want in a beach chair,” Goldberg stated. With its cupholders, side zippered pocket, padded footrest, and adjustable lower-back pillow, comfortability and convenience are what the Deluxe 3-in-1 is all about. The little details were appreciated, including the extra-wide wooden armrests and how the cupholder can tuck under them when not in use. Every aspect of the chair was designed for maximum comfort.
While testing, Goldberg especially loved how the padded headrest could be lifted to reveal a face cradle, allowing her to lay face-down and get that even tan!
Worth the Weight
Although the chair clocks in at 10 pounds, Goldberg highlights that it’s worth it for the wide variety of extras that make the beach day extra comfortable. She even noted that it was easy to carry in one hand to and from the beach with the padded strap!
