 Best Beach Chair for Every Beachgoer Seat height is one of the most overlooked factors when choosing a beach chair, but it makes a huge difference in how comfortable your day actually is. Whether you prefer sitting low to the ground for that classic beach feel or need a higher seat for easy access and egress, Ostrich has a chair built for you. Here is a breakdown of the lineup from lowest to highest: The Tommy-O Backpacker: 6.5 Inches The Tommy-O sits just 6.5 inches off the ground, making it the closest to the sand option in the Ostrich lineup. It is the entry level pick that does not cut corners, featuring the patented face hole and arm slots, five adjustable armrest positions, backpack carry straps, a rear storage bag, and a cupholder. If you love that low, laid-back beach vibe, this is your chair. The Deluxe Backpacker: 8 Inches A step up from the Tommy-O, the Deluxe Backpacker sits 8 inches off the ground and comes loaded with extras including a large insulated cooler bag, side utility bag, cupholder, and a unique umbrella carry system. All of this on a lightweight aluminum frame that weighs just over 8 pounds. The Deluxe 3N1: 12 Inches At 12 inches, the Deluxe 3N1 hits the-mid range sweet spot. It adds a padded seat, lumbar pillow, adjustable footrest, and extra wide bamboo armrests on top of the signature face hole and arm cutouts. Three chairs in one, upright, reclined, and face-down, all with upgraded comfort. The Backpack 3N1: 14 Inches The Backpack 3N1 brings the 3N1 experience to 14 inches off the ground, making getting in and out noticeably easier. It adds backpack carry straps and a built-in insulated cooler bag, making it one of the most feature packed options in the lineup. The Altitude 3N1: 16 Inches The Altitude 3N1 is Ostrich's tallest chair at 16 inches, designed for those who want the easiest access and the most elevated feel. It features breathable quick-dry fabric, bamboo armrests, a side storage bag, cupholder, and the full 3N1 face-down functionality at the top of the range. Which Height Is Right for You? If you love sitting low and going fully face-down, the Tommy-O or Deluxe Backpacker are your best options. If comfort and easy access matter more, the Deluxe 3N1 through Altitude 3N1 range gives you progressively more support and height. No matter where you land, every Ostrich chair is built with the same commitment to quality and versatility that makes them the best beach chair on the market.
