Portable chair

A folding chair comprising:

• a front and rear seat support frame cross each other and are hingably joined for rotating the seat support frames between a first mutually aligned position for carrying the folding chair, and a second spread apart position for sitting;
• a flexible seat member joining the seat support frames and providing an upwardly facing surface when the seat support frames are in the second spread apart position, whereby the support frames are self supporting on a support surface for placing the flexible seat member at a convenient height;
• a back support frame hingably joined to the front seat support frame and rotatable between an upwardly extending position for establishing a back rest, and a laid-over position wherein the back support frame abuts the seat support frames, the back support frame having a horizontal member that abuts the front seat support frame opposite the flexible seat member when the back support frame is in the upwardly extending position, thereby preventing the back support frame from rotating beyond the upwardly extending position when the folding chair is in use;
• and
• a headrest having a head supporting surface, the headrest being hingably joined to the back support frame for rotating the headrest between a closed position wherein the head supporting surface is within the back support frame, and an open position wherein the head supporting surface extends above and is supported by the back support frame.
