The Original Lazy Bear
KUMA Lazy Bear Chair
The chair that helped make KUMA famous.
Some folding camp chairs simply give you somewhere to sit. The KUMA Lazy Bear Chair gives you somewhere to stay.
Oversized, fully cushioned and built around relaxed outdoor living, the original Lazy Bear combines a padded seat, supportive backrest, cushioned armrests and a sturdy steel frame in one of Canada’s most recognizable camping-chair designs.
From the campground and cabin to the hockey rink, soccer field, lakefront or backyard fire, this is the chair people settle into and immediately understand.
The Camping Chair People Ask for by Name
People do not usually become enthusiastic about folding chairs. The Lazy Bear is different.
Its popularity starts with the way it feels. Instead of a thin fabric sling stretched tightly across a narrow frame, the Lazy Bear surrounds you with cushioning through the seat, backrest and armrests. The wider profile gives you room to settle in without feeling cramped, while the 16-inch seat height creates a relaxed, lounge-style seating position.
The result is a camp chair suited to long evenings around the fire, full weekends at the lake, hours beside the sports field and quiet mornings outside the trailer with a cup of coffee.
It is comfortable enough to become your favourite chair at camp and practical enough to keep in the truck, RV, cabin or garage between adventures.
The KUMA Original
The Chair That Started the Lazy Bear Family
Before the heated version, the double chair, the dog bed and the cozy accessories, there was the original Lazy Bear. Its oversized padded design became the foundation for an entire family of KUMA outdoor-comfort products.
Why People Love the KUMA Lazy Bear
Fully Cushioned Comfort
Generous padding through the seat, backrest and armrests provides a softer, more comfortable place to relax for extended periods.
Oversized Seating Area
The wide, relaxed design gives you room to settle in without the narrow or restrictive feeling of a basic folding chair.
Strong Steel Frame
A sturdy 3/4-inch black tube-steel frame creates a dependable foundation for camping, sporting events and everyday outdoor use.
350 lb Weight Capacity
The substantial frame and seating platform are rated to support up to 350 lbs.
Insulated Beverage Holder
Keep coffee, water or your favourite campsite beverage secure and within easy reach.
Dedicated Phone Pocket
A convenient side pocket keeps your phone, keys and small essentials organized instead of disappearing into the chair or grass.
Stabilizer Feet
Wide stabilizer feet help the chair sit more confidently on grass, gravel and other typical outdoor surfaces.
Large-Mouth Carry Bag
The included roll-top carry bag opens wide, making it easier to pack the padded chair away after use.
Slow Down and Stay Awhile
Why Is It Called the Lazy Bear?
Bears seem to understand something people occasionally forget: not every outdoor moment needs to be rushed.
Sometimes the best part of an adventure comes after the hike, the drive, the setup and the work are finished. It is the moment when you finally sit down, stretch out and enjoy where you are.
That is the feeling behind the Lazy Bear Chair. Oversized, padded comfort that encourages you to slow down, stay awhile and enjoy the moment.

Care and Outdoor Storage
KUMA uses durable outdoor fabric, but proper care will help preserve the chair’s appearance and comfort.
- Brush away loose dirt, dust and debris regularly.
- Clean the fabric and frame using warm water and mild soap.
- Use a soft-bristle brush for stubborn marks.
- Do not use bleach or harsh cleaning chemicals.
- Allow the chair to dry completely before placing it in the carry bag.
- Store it in a clean, dry location when not in use.
- Do not leave the chair exposed to prolonged rain or standing water.
- Use the optional Lazy Bear Chair Cover when leaving the chair outdoors between uses.
Help Protect Your Chair From UV Exposure
Like any dyed outdoor textile, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can eventually cause fading.
Customers who plan to leave their Lazy Bear outside on a deck, campsite or seasonal RV site should consider the optional KUMA Lazy Bear Chair Cover.

Cap-it Take
We have sold a lot of camping chairs over the years. Very few become products customers ask for by name.
The Lazy Bear is one of them.
People often buy their first one after sitting in somebody else’s. Then someone in the family claims it, so they come back for another. Later, one ends up at the cabin, another goes to the campground, and eventually the dog gets the matching bed.
That is usually how it goes.
The appeal is not complicated. It is wide, padded, supportive and comfortable enough to use for hours. The insulated beverage holder, phone pocket and oversized carry bag are thoughtful additions, but the chair’s reputation was built on how good it feels when you finally sit down.
If you are only buying one camping chair, the original Lazy Bear remains one of the easiest recommendations we can make.
