The LOGOS Cloud Nest Chair is a chair worth buying if you carry by car and want to lean back with your head supported. Released Aug 27, 2026 as a 2027 model, at JPY 16,500 incl. tax, about 3.7kg and a 37cm seat height. What is new about it is fitting a high back that supports the head into a 51cm pack.
The Gear Nerd's Pick
Though it is a high back that supports your head, folded it becomes a bar of 14 × 20 × 51cm. So I choose it not as a chair that tilts back but as a chair to lean your head on that slips into a gap in the car's cargo area.
Key points
- The packed volume is 14 × 20 × 51 = about 14.3L. That is about one third of the 44.1L of the ogawa Reclining Low Chair (14.3 ÷ 44.1)
- Weight supported per kilogram of chair is 100 ÷ 3.7 = about 27kg. That is less than the DOD Nice Middle Chair's about 32kg (130 ÷ 4.1)
- In use it is 89cm wide × 104cm deep, taking about 0.93m² of floor. If you will put it in a tent vestibule, compare it with the floor size first

When is the Cloud Nest Chair out? JPY 16,500
The Cloud Nest Chair went on sale on Aug 27, 2026 as a set of 2027 LOGOS models. The price is JPY 16,500 incl. tax, and you can already buy it.
The shape is a high-back low chair that supports the head. About 3.7kg, 37cm seat height, load capacity about 100kg (a guide for static load). It has a slash pocket on the right, a small-item pocket on the left and a drink holder that stands straight relative to the ground.
How I judged it
Spending half the year camping, a chair is a tool you load and unload every trip. So before comfort, I look at the volume when folded.
The Cloud Nest Chair packs to 14 × 20 × 51 = about 14.3L. The ogawa Reclining Low Chair, which also supports your head, is 44.1L, so this fits in about a third. What I weighed was the load capacity of about 100kg, but for anyone with margin on body weight, I take this small size.

Differences from the Reclining Low Chair and the Nice Middle Chair
Scroll the table sideways →
| Model | Seat height | Weight | Load capacity | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LOGOS Cloud Nest Chair | 37cm | About 3.7kg | About 100kg | JPY 16,500 |
| ogawa Reclining Low Chair | 28cm | About 4.5kg | 120kg | JPY 14,900 |
| DOD Nice Middle Chair | About 35cm | About 4.1kg | 130kg | JPY 8,800 |
| Helinox Sunset Chair | 45cm | 1,470g | 145kg | JPY 23,100 |
Among the three, the Cloud Nest Chair's strengths are light weight and a small pack. It is 0.8kg lighter than the ogawa (4.5 − 3.7) and 0.4kg lighter than the DOD. In exchange, its load capacity is the lowest and its price second only to the Helinox.
The ogawa packs to 75 × 21 × 28cm and the DOD to 71 × 14 × 20cm (about 19.9L). At 51cm long, the Cloud Nest Chair is a length that slides in sideways easily even in a small car whose cargo area lacks depth.
Does a 37cm seat height suit a fire pit or a table?
A seat height of 37cm is 9cm higher than the ogawa's 28cm and close to the DOD's about 35cm. For reaching for firewood by a low fire pit, the ogawa; for eating at a low table about 40cm high, the Cloud Nest Chair puts your arms in a better position.
The ogawa is the one whose backrest angle changes in 4 steps. If you want one chair to switch between a dining posture and a lying-back posture, read the ogawa Reclining Low Chair review first.
The weak points
Point 1 is the space it takes in use. At 89cm wide × 104cm deep, the floor area is 0.89 × 1.04 = about 0.93m². Two side by side are 178cm wide and will not fit in the vestibule of a small tent.
Point 2 is the load capacity of about 100kg. Weight supported per kilogram of chair is 100 ÷ 3.7 = about 27kg, less than the DOD Nice Middle Chair's about 32kg. Anyone over 90kg of body weight has more margin with a chair rated 120kg or more.
Point 3 is that the frame is a mix of aluminum and steel. It is 0.8kg lighter than the all-aluminum ogawa, yet 2.2kg heavier than the Helinox Sunset Chair (3.7 − 1.47 ≒ 2.2). It is not a chair that puts light weight first.
Who the Cloud Nest Chair suits
It suits people who carry by car and want to relax with their head supported. A high back that folds to 51cm long slips into gaps even in a tight cargo area. It also has a slash pocket on the right, a small-item pocket on the left and a drink holder that stands straight relative to the ground, so you can keep things within reach while seated. It is a new model that thought through the small details of relaxing time.
It also suits people who want to handle meals and rest with the same chair at a low table about 40cm high. For camping on foot, the light chairs in our comparison of 12 camp chairs; for looking at price and load capacity first, the DOD Nice Middle Chair is another way to choose.
