Dockside to Deck: The Ultimate Chair for Your Spring Boating Adventures

When you hear the word “tailgating,” your mind probably jumps to sports: the roar of the crowd in the distance, burgers sizzling on the grill, and team jerseys as far as the eye can see. But Sea Level Seating’s Perfect Tailgating – With or Without the Stadium campaign isn’t just about football or baseball—it’s about bringing that same spirit of comfort, connection, and celebration to any experience you love.  And one of the most overlooked but totally perfect ways to do it? Movies on the Go. With a Luxury Lounger mounted off the back of your pickup truck, you can transform any outdoor space into your own plush, portable movie theater. Whether you’re hitting a drive-in, setting up a backyard screening, or even parking by the water for a romantic night under the stars, your tailgate becomes the best seat in the house—without ever stepping inside a theater. Why Tailgating Works for Movies Movies and tailgating might not seem like an obvious pairing at first glance, but they share the same DNA: They’re social. You enjoy them more with people you love. They’re immersive. For a few hours, you escape the rest of the world. They’re better with snacks. Enough said. The difference? With movies on the go, you control the setting. You can swap the sticky floors and crowded aisles of the cinema for the comfort of a cushioned lounger, the fresh air of the outdoors, and a menu that’s whatever you feel like bringing. Three Ways to Create the Perfect Movie Tailgate 1. The Drive-In Revival Drive-in theaters are back, and they’re one of the easiest ways to dip your toes into movie tailgating. Instead of leaning forward in your truck cab or sitting on a blanket in the bed, set up your Luxury Lounger off the tailgate for a front-row seat to the big screen. Pro tips for drive-in tailgating: Arrive early to claim the perfect spot. Bring a portable radio or Bluetooth speaker if the theater broadcasts the audio on FM. Pack pillows and blankets for extra comfort as the night cools down. 2. Backyard Blockbuster Nights Why wait for a movie to come to the drive-in when you can create the experience at home? All you need is a portable projector, a blank wall (or a screen if you want to get fancy), and the Luxury Lounger set up for stadium-level comfort in your driveway or backyard. Backyard movie night setup checklist: Projector & tripod Extension cords or battery packs Your favorite streaming device or laptop Popcorn, candy, and drinks (bonus points for themed snacks based on the movie) Cozy blankets for a “wrapped in comfort” feel The best part? You control the start time, the snack menu, and the pause button—because sometimes life calls for an intermission. 3. Scenic Cinema For the truly adventurous, take your movie night somewhere with a view—like a beach, lake, or hillside overlook. Park the truck so the water or city skyline serves as your backdrop. Then mount the Lounger, fire up a tablet or portable projector, and enjoy a night of cinema in a setting that rivals any Hollywood premiere. A few tips for scenic screenings: Choose a quiet location where you won’t disturb wildlife or other visitors. Download movies ahead of time in case cell service is spotty. Bring battery-powered lights or lanterns for a soft glow during setup and cleanup. How the Luxury Lounger Makes Movie Tailgating Next-Level Let’s be real—traditional outdoor movie seating isn’t exactly a highlight. Folding chairs dig into your back. Beach chairs sit too low for good sight lines. And blankets on the ground are a gamble with damp grass or uneven terrain. Here’s where the Luxury Lounger changes the game: Plush Comfort: A 3-inch cushion and built-in lumbar support keep you comfortable for the entire double feature. Customizable Recline: Adjust your position for the perfect screen view or to kick back during slower scenes. Connectability: Link two loungers together for a “love seat” feel—ideal for date nights. Portability: Backpack straps mean you can easily carry it from the truck to your chosen movie spot. Durability: Built to handle the outdoors, from sandy beaches to grassy parks. It’s like upgrading from the cramped back row of a budget theater to the premium VIP seats—except your theater can be anywhere. Themed Movie Tailgate Ideas Want to make your movie night unforgettable? Build the whole experience around the film: Romantic Comedy by the Water: Pack champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, and set up by the shore for a scene straight out of a love story. Action Movie in the Woods: Campfire snacks, trail mix, and a backdrop of towering pines to match the adrenaline. Animated Family Night: Pizza, juice boxes, and cozy blankets for the kids, plus plenty of space for them to sprawl on the blankets in front of your Lounger. Sports Movie Marathon: Bring game-day snacks like nachos and wings, and play the films that make you want to cheer. Perfect Tailgating is More Than a Parking Lot Party Sea Level Seating’s Perfect Tailgating – With or Without the Stadium campaign is all about this kind of reinvention. Tailgating isn’t just a pre-game ritual—it’s a mindset. It’s about creating a space that’s comfortable, social, and memorable, wherever you are. With the Luxury Lounger, you’re not just watching a movie. You’re crafting an atmosphere. You’re combining the energy of a tailgate with the intimacy of a shared viewing experience. And you’re doing it in comfort that rivals (or beats) any indoor theater. Your Turn to Roll Out the Red Carpet If you haven’t tried movies on the go, make it your next weekend plan. Whether you’re heading to a drive-in, hosting a backyard blockbuster, or taking your show on the road to a scenic spot, the formula is simple: Truck + Luxury Lounger + Screen + Snacks = Movie Magic. Once you’ve experienced a movie night with the comfort, portability, and style of the Luxury Lounger, you’ll never go back to flimsy chairs or sitting on the cold ground. And you’ll start to see tailgating in a whole new light—one where the “stadium” is anywhere you decide to park. Because when it comes to perfect tailgating, the game doesn’t have to be on for you to be in the best seat in the house.

When most people think “tailgating,” they imagine cheering fans in stadium parking lots, grills smoking, and coolers popping open before a big game. But what if you took that same spirit of laid-back comfort and celebration and swapped the stadium for the shoreline? Enter Beachside Date Night Tailgating —a fresh twist on an old favorite that’s part romantic getaway, part open-air lounge, and 100% memorable. With the Sea Level Seating Luxury Lounger mounted right off the back of your pickup truck, you can turn any beach access point into your own private oceanside retreat. Whether you’re catching a sunset, streaming a live game, or just enjoying each other’s company under the stars, this setup transforms a simple evening into an experience. Why Beachside Tailgating is the Perfect Date Night There’s something about the beach at night that turns up the romance—cool breezes, the rhythmic crash of waves, and the way the horizon fades into a million twinkling stars. Unlike noisy restaurants or crowded bars, the beach gives you space to relax, talk, and enjoy the moment without distractions. And while beach picnics are nothing new, combining them with the comfort of a Luxury Lounger takes things to another level. Instead of sitting in flimsy folding chairs or perching awkwardly on a blanket in the sand, you’re reclining in a fully cushioned, lumbar-supported seat with adjustable armrests and a perfect view of the ocean. How to Set Up Your Beachside Date Night Tailgate The magic is in the details. Here’s how to pull it off like a pro: 1. Pick the Right Spot Scout out a beach with drive-up access or nearby parking that lets you back your truck in close to the sand. Look for quieter stretches where you won’t be competing for space with big crowds. If your local beach doesn’t allow vehicles on the sand, find a spot in the parking area that faces the water—you’ll still get the view and the breeze. 2. Timing is Everything Aim to arrive an hour before sunset. This gives you time to set up, relax, and watch the sky change colors. If you’re planning to stream the game or a movie, this timing also means you’ll have some daylight for your picnic before it gets dark enough for screens to look their best. 3. Bring the Right Gear The Luxury Lounger – Your VIP seating. Its portable design with backpack straps makes it easy to carry from truck to sand if needed. Blankets and Throws – Even warm beaches can get cool at night. A soft blanket adds coziness. Cooler with Drinks and Snacks – Think light bites: shrimp cocktail, caprese skewers, chocolate-dipped strawberries. Mood Lighting – Battery-powered lanterns or string lights give a warm glow without the hassle of fire or candles. Entertainment – A tablet or portable projector for watching the game, a playlist of your favorite songs, or even a small travel guitar if you’re musically inclined. 4. Set the Stage Mount the Lounger off your truck bed so it faces the water. If you brought two, connect them side-by-side for a shared seating area. Arrange your cooler within arm’s reach, spread out your blanket for extra lounging space, and position your lights for a soft, romantic glow. Making It Memorable A great date night isn’t just about location—it’s about creating moments you’ll both remember. Here are a few ideas to make your beachside tailgate unforgettable: Catch the First Stars – After sunset, lean back in your Lounger and watch as the first constellations appear. Bonus points if you use a stargazing app to spot planets and galaxies. Personalized Playlist – Make a mix of songs that mean something to you as a couple, from “your song” to tunes that remind you of past adventures. Themed Menu – Build your snacks around a theme—tropical fruits for a beach vibe, stadium classics if you’re watching a game, or wine and cheese for a more upscale feel. A Shared Toast – Bring along champagne or sparkling water and raise a glass to your evening under the stars. Why the Luxury Lounger Changes the Game Anyone can throw a blanket on the sand, but the Luxury Lounger turns your beach date into a true event. Here’s why: Comfort for Hours – With a 3-inch cushion, built-in lumbar support, and adjustable reclining positions, you can settle in and actually enjoy your night without squirming or shifting every few minutes. Elevated Seating – Sitting slightly higher than the sand keeps you away from the damp, uneven ground while giving you a better view of the horizon—or the tablet screen. Portable and Connectable – Carry it down the beach if you want privacy, or link two loungers together for a shared “couch” right on the shoreline. Durability – Built to handle beach environments, the Lounger’s materials resist salt, moisture, and sand, so you don’t have to baby it. No Stadium, No Problem Sea Level Seating’s Perfect Tailgating – With or Without the Stadium campaign is all about rethinking what “tailgating” means. And a beachside date night is the perfect example—because tailgating is less about the location and more about the feeling: kicking back, enjoying good food and drink, and sharing the moment with someone special. In fact, this kind of tailgating might even beat the stadium experience. No lines for the bathroom. No overpriced snacks. No one blocking your view. Just you, your favorite person, and the sound of the ocean. Your Turn to Try It Next time you’re looking for a date night idea that’s outside the ordinary, think beyond the dinner-and-a-movie routine. Load up your truck, grab your Luxury Lounger , and head for the coast. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just want to make a regular evening feel extraordinary, a beachside tailgate offers all the ingredients for a night you’ll both remember. And if you really want to make an impression, surprise your date by having everything ready when they arrive—snacks packed, playlist queued, and the Lounger set up facing the sunset. Because when you combine the beauty of the beach, the comfort of the Luxury Lounger, and a little thoughtfulness, you’re not just planning a date. You’re creating a memory.

When most people think of tailgating, they picture rows of pickup trucks lined up outside a packed sports stadium, music pumping, burgers sizzling, and a sea of team colors waving in the air. And while that traditional scene is an all-time classic, the truth is, tailgating doesn’t have to be limited to game day or parking lots. Sea Level Seating’s new campaign, Perfect Tailgating – With or Without the Stadium , is all about expanding the way we think about tailgating. Whether you’re at the beach, in the mountains, at a local park, or even in your own driveway, the combination of a pickup truck, good company, and a Sea Level Seating Luxury Lounger transforms any spot into your own personal VIP section. The best part? Our Luxury Lounger is designed to mount right off the bed of your truck, giving you stadium-level comfort anywhere you choose to park. It’s portable, connectable, and built for all-day lounging—no nosebleed seats or ticket lines required. Here’s how you can create the perfect tailgate experience, with or without the stadium. 1. Beachside Bliss – Tailgating with a View of the Waves Imagine this: your truck backed into a sandy beachfront spot, tailgate down, Luxury Lounger set up, and the sound of the waves competing with the roar of the crowd on your iPad streaming the big game. With the Luxury Lounger’s plush 3-inch cushion, lumbar support, and adjustable reclining positions, you can watch every play in comfort while the ocean breeze keeps you cool. Add a cooler stocked with drinks, a portable speaker, and maybe some fresh shrimp tacos from the food shack down the road, and you’ve got yourself the ultimate coastal tailgate. Bonus tip: if you bring two loungers, you can connect them for a double setup—perfect for you and your tailgating partner. 2. Backyard Date Night – Stadium Romance, No Tickets Required Why fight traffic, pay for parking, and wait in long lines when you can bring the stadium experience to your own backyard? Picture it: your truck parked in the driveway, the Luxury Lounger mounted on the tailgate, a warm blanket for two, and a small projector playing the game on the garage door (or a romantic movie if you’re skipping the sports altogether). Set the mood with string lights, a charcuterie board, and your favorite drinks, and you’ve just created the most comfortable—and affordable—date night in town. The Lounger’s portable design means you can easily unhook it and bring it inside once the evening’s over, keeping your gear safe and ready for the next adventure. 3. Park Picnic Tailgate – Family Fun Without the Folding Chairs We’ve all been to picnics where the “seating” was a blanket on the ground or a wobbly folding chair that’s been in the trunk since 2012. The Luxury Lounger changes that. Take your truck to a scenic park, load up the bed with picnic baskets, yard games, and a Bluetooth speaker, and set up the Lounger for the ultimate seating upgrade. You’ll have a perfect vantage point to watch the kids play frisbee or to kick back after a big meal. Because it’s built with durable, weather-resistant materials, you don’t have to worry about grass stains, wet ground, or the occasional splash from a water balloon fight. 4. Camping Comfort – Tailgating by the Campfire Camping is great… until you realize how uncomfortable most camp chairs really are after an hour or two. That’s where the Luxury Lounger earns MVP status. Set your truck up near the fire pit and let the Lounger’s adjustable headrest and armrests keep you comfortable long after the marshmallows are gone. The discreet storage compartment is perfect for stashing snacks, a flashlight, or even a deck of cards for late-night games. And if you’re in a remote spot with no TV or streaming signal, the Lounger still delivers—because sometimes the best tailgates are about swapping stories under the stars instead of watching a scoreboard. 5. Drive-In Movie Revival – Old-School Tailgating with Modern Comfort Drive-in theaters are making a comeback, and they’re a perfect place to reimagine tailgating. Instead of sitting inside your vehicle or awkwardly leaning against the tailgate, imagine reclining in the Luxury Lounger with a blanket, popcorn, and a perfect view of the big screen. Whether it’s a blockbuster movie or a live concert event streamed to the drive-in screen, this setup turns an ordinary night out into a premium experience. And when the credits roll, you can fold up the Lounger in seconds and be on your way. 6. Small-Town Festivals and Parades – Front-Row Comfort Without the Lawn Chair Shuffle Local parades and festivals are often standing-room-only, especially if you want to be close to the action. But with a pickup truck and a Luxury Lounger, you’ve got a front-row seat—literally. Pull up to the parade route early, claim your spot, and enjoy the perfect combination of comfort and convenience. The built-in tilt pole feature even makes it easy to add a beach umbrella for shade, so you can enjoy hours of festivities without baking in the sun. Why the Luxury Lounger is the Tailgating Game-Changer The reason the Luxury Lounger works for any kind of tailgating comes down to three key features: Portability – Backpack straps make it easy to carry from your truck to wherever the action is. Connectability – Link multiple loungers to create a shared seating area for friends and family. Unmatched Comfort – From lumbar support to adjustable headrests, it’s designed for long-haul lounging without the aches and pains of traditional chairs. Whether you’re steps from the stadium or miles away on a quiet beach, these features make the Lounger your all-access pass to better tailgating. The New Definition of Tailgating Sea Level Seating’s Perfect Tailgating – With or Without the Stadium campaign is about more than just selling a chair—it’s about redefining how and where we come together. Because tailgating isn’t just about football. It’s about creating a space to relax, connect, and celebrate—whether that’s in the heart of the city, at the edge of the ocean, or under the trees in your local park. So the next time you think “tailgating,” think beyond the parking lot. Think beach sunsets, backyard movie nights, campfire conversations, and drive-in nostalgia. Think comfort without compromise. And most of all—think Luxury Lounger .

Whether it’s college football Saturdays, NFL Sundays, or a Saturday night NASCAR showdown, there’s one thing every tailgater knows: comfort is key. You might have the grill fired up and the cooler stocked, but if your chair situation is lacking? The whole vibe is off. That’s where the Luxury Lounger by Sea Level Seating changes the game. Tailgating's Greatest Problem: Cramped, Crappy Seating Let’s face it: most tailgating chairs suck. You know the ones. Flimsy arms, sagging bottoms, awkward cupholders that barely fit a can. And they’re never quite the right height—either you’re crouched over your food like a caveman or you’re awkwardly perched like you’re sitting on a milk crate. Worse, those cheap folding chairs don’t hold up. They squeak. They collapse. And after a season or two, they’re headed to the trash. Tailgating isn’t just a pastime. It’s a ritual. A lifestyle. And it deserves better. The Solution: Luxury Lounger by Sea Level Seating This isn’t just a chair. It’s a throne.

Your Luxury Lounger is perched perfectly on the back of your truck. You’re leaned back just enough to relax but upright enough to cheer when your team rolls in.
