Sportneer 24-inch Extra-Wide Camping Chair Review

Our Verdict: Sportneer 24-inch Extra-Wide Camping Chair

A wide, supportive full size camp chair aimed at people who need back support, not a chair for the trail, but a comfortable one for the campsite.

The extra wide seat and taller supportive back target comfort for bad backs.

So, is it any good?

It typically sells for around 40 to 60 dollars, fair for a wide supportive camp chair.

You get a 24 inch wide seat, a tall back, and usually a carry bag.

The extra width and tall back made a real difference for my lower back over a long evening at camp. It is heavy and bulky though, strictly a drive to the site chair, and being a newer model I cannot yet say how it holds up over years.

It is strongest on value for money and weakest on versatility.

Here is how it did on every metric we tested, with exactly how each score compares to the rest of the field.

Value for Money

It typically sells for around 40 to 60 dollars, fair for a wide supportive camp chair.

You get a 24 inch wide seat, a tall back, and usually a carry bag.

For the money it competes well with other full size camp chairs on comfort.

Value for Money	Rating
Best in test	10/10
Sportneer 24-inch Extra-Wide Camping Chair	8/10
Category average	7.8/10
Worst in test	6/10

Comfort

The 24 inch extra wide seat gives more room than a standard camp chair.

The tall back and padding are aimed at supporting the lower and upper back for longer sits.

Here's what that means:

Owners with back issues report it as noticeably more comfortable than low packable chairs.

The seat height is normal chair height, so it is easy to stand up from.

Worst in test	7/10

Pack Size

It folds to a bundle around 34 to 38 inches long in a carry bag, too big to backpack.

Weight is around 7 to 10 pounds, a car chair rather than a trail chair.

It packs down like a standard folding camp chair for the boot.

Setup is a quick unfold, taking seconds.

Category average	7.6/10
Worst in test	4/10

Durability

The frame is steel or heavy aluminium, built for repeated car camping use.

The wide seat spreads load, which owners feel reduces strain on the fabric and joints.

As a newer model long term durability data is thinner, so treat longevity claims with some caution.

Early reviews report a solid sturdy feel out of the box.

Versatility

The wide feet sit stably on grass and gravel without sinking.

Capacity is typically around 300 to 400 pounds, suiting larger users.

It works for camping, sports sidelines, and backyard use rather than the trail.

The bulk and weight limit it to places you can drive to.

What Other Backpacking Chairs Should You Consider?

Not sold on this one? A few others from our testing are worth a look.

The Sportneer 3-Height Adjustable Camping Chair is our best adjustable outdoor chair. A full size camp chair whose party trick is three seat heights, useful for matching the seat to the task, though it is still too bulky for the trail.

The Kijaro Dual Lock Folding Chair is our best high weight capacity chair. A full size camp chair, not a backpacking chair, that trades all portability for a supportive high capacity seat with armrests and cup holders.

The Kijaro Coast Reclining Sling Chair is our best reclining ground chair. A low reclining sling chair for the beach and lawn that leans back to multiple positions, comfortable for relaxing but bulky and not a trail chair.
