All the chairs are folding and there is no assembly, so they come ready to use. The folded size is usually such that they will not take much space in the car, but they are also portable to shorter distances.
My selection of best heated camping chairs
The chairs in the list below are ordered by weight from heavier to lighter:
I have tried to collect chairs that have at least something unique regarding features, so have a look below, you will see those unique features mentioned for each of them.
1. KINGS TREK Camping Chair Heated with Battery Pack
This is an interesting design with padding and with heating in the seat and in the backrest. But these padded elements can also be removed and this transforms the chair in an excellent item for warm weather use. This unique feature sets the chair apart from its competitors and makes it suitable for all seasons.
But the chair is here because of its heating so you have 3 adjustable heat settings, color coded so it is easy to understand. There is a dual-control button which enables you to adjust the temperature of the back and hip position separately. When the desired temperature is reached, the battery turns off and it starts again when the temperature drops.
You have up to 10 working hours on the lowest setting, 6 hours on medium, and 3 hours on high. The good thing is that the battery is included. Note that 2 USB ports are on the power bank, so you can heat your chair and charge your phone at the same time.

It comes with one Coleman OneSource battery included. This is a 4800 mAh lithium-ion battery. You will want to know that they have many outdoor products that work with the same battery, and this includes a sleeping bag, a blanket, a sitting pad, lanterns, fans, and even a tent where you can use it for lighting.
There are 4 levels of heating. So you can have 1.5 hours on high (133 °F, 56 °C), 2 hours on medium (123°F, 50 °C), 3 hours on low (113°F, 45 °C), and 2.5 hours on pulse setting (low to high).

As you realize from the picture, this is a folding and very easy to use chair that offers heating on the seat and on the backrest. You have a button to control 3-level heating. All you have to do is to plug in some USB battery pack (not included). There is a connector in the pocket on the right side.
The chair has plenty of features and they include a cup holder, a cooler, a large pocket on the back/top, and one more pouch on the side. But note also that you have an adjustable lumbar support which is a unique feature here. This together with its high backrest offers a perfect support and you will feel comfortable in this chair even after prolonged sitting.
Overall dimensions are (D x W x H) 26 x 23 x 41 inches (66 x 58 x 104 cm), so this is high enough to have a neck/head support. The weight is 11.3 pounds (5.12 kg). The seat is 18.5 inches (47 cm) high so this is quite typical.
The chair is well-built and strong, its capacity is 400 pounds (181 kg), and it comes with a very useful carry bag equipped with a shoulder strap to carry it short distances and to keep it clean from dust. The dimensions in its carry bag are 38 x 9 x 8 inches (96 x 23 x 20 cm).
The frame is an anti-rust steel with 22 mm diameter tubing. The fabric is a durable 600D tear resistant Oxford polyester. Note that the feet are wide so the chair will not easily sink in a soft ground.
4. POP Design The Hot Seat Heated Portable Chair
This POP Design The Hot Seat Heated Portable Chair is here because of the heating in the seat. There are wires in the seat connected with a battery (not included) in a side pocket. You can use any rechargeable USB battery. If you have a quality battery, the seat can be heated more than 7 hours.
But the chair is also a folding recliner, so it offers 3 different reclining positions that make it unique, and it has several other great features. There are 5 different pockets, solid armrests, and it is padded.
The mentioned pockets are visible in the picture, and you see some hanging on the front under the seat and on the side. There is also a very large mesh pocket on the backside of the backrest.

Final thoughts
So this was my selection of heated camping chairs for adults, and I hope you have noticed their unique features. All of them are on the heavy side, but when folded they transform in elongated but narrow tubes. So they are portable, but they need a car for transportation.
I use the word Camping in the title, so these chairs are indeed ideal for cold weather camping. But they are not limited to camping only. These are versatile items that can be used by fishermen, hunters, at sports events, or any other cold weather gatherings. You have seen an example where the warm padding can be removed so you have only a breathable mesh on the seat and backrest, and this is a true 4-season outdoor chair.
