Anyone who has ever sat in a Bear Chair knows it right away: this chair sits wonderfully. The combination of clever ergonomics, timeless design and high-quality materials makes the Bear Chair one of the most comfortable chairs on the market. But what exactly makes the original Bear Chair so comfortable? We dive into that in this blog.
Canadians understand better than anyone how important comfort and durability are for outdoor furniture. The use of western red cedar, a wood species that has many similarities to teak, provides a lightweight, weather-resistant and environmentally friendly construction. This makes the original Bear Chair ideal for garden or patio use.
Why is the ergonomics of the original Bear Chair so unique?
The iconic design of the original Bear Chair originated in Canada. Designed in 1987 in Ontario, Canada, the original Bear Chair was inspired by the classic Adirondack design of the early 20th century. The chair is known for its robust simplicity, as well as its comfort and functionality.
The ergonomics of the original Bear Chair
What really sets the Bear Chair apart from other wooden garden chairs is its unique ergonomics. The chair is designed with a deep seat and a slightly sloping backrest, giving your body full support. This makes the chair ideal for long summer days outside, whether you are enjoying a good book or admiring the sunset. The wide armrests not only provide extra comfort, but are also convenient for placing a drink or a plate of snacks.
An adjustable wooden garden chair
A great advantage of the original Bear Chair is that it is adjustable. Thus, the chair can be adjusted to your sitting position and preference. You can thus spend hours enjoying a lovely, comfortable, wooden garden chair. In this way, the Bear Chair thus becomes a luxurious garden chair that perfectly suits your personal preferences.

Ease of maintenance
What makes the Bear Chair even more comfortable is that when you buy it, you know that it requires incredibly little maintenance. This is because the Bear Chair is made of western red cedar, a type of wood very similar to teak. Western red cedar is known for its durability, light weight and natural resistance to weathering. The wood has a natural oil that protects it from rot and insects without the need for harsh chemicals or maintenance products.
