It seems like I have no idea how to sit on an Adirondack chair, and it’s likely that you don’t either.
What Is An Adirondack Chair?
If you’ve spent any time in someone’s backyard, you’ve probably seen an Adirondack chair, even if you don’t know what one is. You may have even passed a vibrant pile of the chairs in Walmart’s garden section.
Adirondack chairs are often composed of wood, plastic, or a combination of materials. They are made to feature a deep seating space and a high, wide seat back.
Some people find the chair unpleasant because of its depth. I prefer to sit in a slouched position where my body eventually melts off the chair and falls into a heaping pile on the floor.
Since I evidently don’t know how to use an Adirondack chair properly, it’s okay if it doesn’t sound comfy to you.
How To Correctly Use An Adirondack Chair
The distinctive style of the Adirondack chair is explained by two popular origin legends.
In fact, the first has its roots in illness. The chairs were first employed in early 1900s sanatoriums in the Adirondack Mountains to cure TB patients, according to Smithsonian Magazine.

During that time, the lethal lung condition was very common, and many people sought solace in the mountains, which Smithsonian Magazine referred to as the “wilderness cure.” Patients with tuberculosis required a chair that would allow them to sit for extended periods of time and breathe in the mountain air.
The environment is the second factor that contributed to the creation of Adirondack chairs. Many people think the design is related to the hilly terrain’s gradient.
To improve comfort, a recent viral TikTok video suggests positioning Adirondack chairs in a non-flat section of your yard.
In a video, TikTok user @watchautumnsays, “The chair can easily sit on a hill because the back legs are shorter than the front legs so you can be sitting upright.”
More than 530,000 people have already viewed this compelling argument.
Look, my yard is as flat as a pancake, and I’ll always be on Team Slouch on this one. However, it makes me want to locate a hill so I may test the hypothesis.
