Best office chair for heavy person

HON Wave Mesh Big and Tall Executive Chair with Knee-Tilt

Maximum Weight Capacity: 450lbs

Seat width: N/A

A few people avoid traditional gaming chair designs that have become so popular in the past few years. In the end, not everyone would like to sit in a seat which makes one feel like you’re sitting in an automobile race! If that’s the case, I’ll tell you it is possible to find alternatives for the style, particularly in the tall and large category. This office chair made by HON can be one. It combines an executive-style appearance with an mesh covering, and lot’s of cushioning in the backrest and butt areas to make an ideal office chair for big and tall people.

While it’s not as ergonomic like some of the other options however, the office chair more than makes more the most bang for your buck. This office chair won’t contour to your body shape, however, that doesn’t mean it’s comfortable in any way. Actually, it’s a chair is extremely comfortable and sturdy, which is perfect for those who have to be seated for hours on day and night doing office work, gaming or even just watching tv. But it will not keep your spine straight as the king and tank series. However, the lumbar support also leaves something to be wanted. It’s something to think about when you’re considering this.

Another thing I like in this office chair it’s construction quality. It is able to hold up to 450lbs, and due to the steel structure, it can do not sag even a little.

Then, HON had to cut costs in order to make sure that the chair will be profitable for them. And you are able to see this when you take a look at the tiny aspects. One thing they have done to lower expenses is to use less expensive wheels and less durable plastics beneath the chair itself. It’s a good thing that it doesn’t impact the durability of the seat itself, however, if you’re seeking a high-end product with a luxurious look across the entire bottom then avoid this option.

Pros

  • Elegant style that looks great in any room
  • Can hold up to weight of 450lbs
  • Although it’s isn’t the best ergonomic seat available, it more than compensates for it in sheer comfort

Cons

  • Coasters are quite affordable and you may need to replace them in a short time

Sadie Big and Tall Office Chair for Fat People

Weight Capacity: 400lbs

Seat width: N/A

Another office chair by HON in the category of tall and large I’ve found both pros and cons to this seat. If the negatives are an issue or not is dependent on what you are seeking when it comes to the perfect office chair. Although the cushioning made of foam in this chair is extremely comfortable, equally for those who are normal sized and big and tall folks, the other components and materials in the chair leave an impression to be wanted.

One of the primary reasons you should consider the chair in your living room or office is that it’s seat cushion is extremely dense, making the seat extremely comfortable. Many people find it greater comfort than mesh such as me. However, it is true that the seat cover can tear down quite easily. The cover could easily be broken by a cat therefore, I would not recommend this chair in the event that you owned one. Even in the absence of one, I think the cover could be damaged by wear and tear which leads my attention to the next thing i want to discuss.

The armrests on the chair are too fragile for me, and some customers have mentioned that they fall apart after a couple of months of usage. It’s true that you shouldn’t be expecting much from the price point, so if you’re looking for something that lasts longer than a year or two you might want to spend the money and purchase something that is a bit higher priced.

Pros

  • A comfortable seat cushion
  • The price tag is more easily accessible than the other options on this list

Cons

  • Chair’s design could be too sombre and subdued for certain users.
  • Cheap, filmsy armrests

Ficmax High-Back Executive Office Ergonomic Chair

Weight Capacity: 300lbs

Seat width: N/A

An excellent option to replace the DXRacer gaming chairs above is a highly economical gaming chair that will really ensure you have the correct posture while playing an Xbox or computer. But, keep in mind that you’ll get what you pay for when you purchase this. A few users have complained about some issues with the hydraulic system. Some have also said that it isn’t the most suitable option for taller individuals. If you don’t mind the negatives and you’re looking for a chair that’s comfortable, you should think about this option, particularly in the case of the best gaming chair on the cheap.

When you first get the gaming chair, you will find that the style was influenced by DXRacer gaming chairs. To put it lightly, it’s an exact copy of the original design. It’s not a bad thing, but some people may prefer something more original or creative in terms of design, perhaps something similar to designs that come from COUGAR as well as Raidmax. This is again something that is more personal choice however it is something to be aware of.

What I really like about the chair is its vibrator feature which is located in its lumbar support. It’s a great small feature typically only found in higher-end office chairs and, if you can find a good sitting position on this chair you won’t need to settle for any other type of chair! Although I’d love this connector to have just larger and stronger but you don’t have to request that much in these price point.

There’s a second thing that I’m required to discuss about the gaming chair, and it is related to the hydraulic base I’ve already mentioned. There have been some complaints with it following a couple of weeks, however, it appears the Ficmax customer support isn’t very effective in solving the problem. However, not everyone has experienced issues with the base, or the customer support, however, so be aware of this if you’re considering buying an inexpensive gaming chair on the cheap.

Pros

  • A great alternative in place of DXRacer chairs
  • A lot less expensive than the choices that were the first on this list Amazing vibrating feature

Cons

  • A shaky hydraulic system is an acknowledged issue with this chair
  • The manufacturer has poor customer service.
  • Carbon copies of popular gaming chairs on the market

DXRacer King – Tall office chair

Max weight capacity: 254lbs

Seat width: N/A

The ergonomic office chairs for fat people I’d like to highlight is a different DXRacer chair that is The King Series. It’s a bit cheaper and is suitable for those looking for something durable, but doesn’t necessarily require 450lbs of weight capacity.

Although it’s true that the King Series isn’t quite as sturdy as the Titan but it still has plenty to provide. It comes with a lower weight capacity of 254lbs (which is nevertheless enough) and DXRacer classifies it as an “XL” chair for big and tall users.

As with all DXRacer chairs the construction quality is excellent and the chair has a highly-adjustable, ergonomic design. The armrests can be adjusted in a variety of sizes in addition to the seat height as well as the lumbar support.

Furmax Gaming Chair High Back

Max weight capacity 310lbs

Widespread of seat: 20.9″

The Furmax Gaming Chair with High Back features striking black and turquoise design that looks stunning in an gaming set-up. While it may appear a bit out of place in an office however, it’ll give you the convenience and ergonomic support you’ve been searching for.

What is it that makes the chair ideal suitable for fat people is the padded bucket seat that provides ample space and additional cushioning to provide the ultimate comfort. This chair’s weight capacity is also pretty impressive, with 310 pounds however, it’s not as big than some of the chairs I’ve discussed to date.

It also features an adjustable footrest that flips out it is a great option that allows you to put your feet up and relax with the style you prefer. The chair includes an adjustable headrest as well as lumbar support cushion for more ergonomic support.

In addition, it compensates for the less weight capacity with features like an adjustable height of eight positions, a unique “finger rest” technology and ultra-comfy upholstered oval quilting.

Seat width: N/A

This chair is specifically designed for the average-to-high person and has a weight limit of 300lbs. However, due to the high back, it is a chair is suitable for tall people who are not necessarily overweight. If you’re tall, and you’re looking to ease back pain then this chair is the best choice for you.

This Posturion High Back Chair comes with the adjustable lumbar support that is set within it’s back of the chair. If you’re about 6’2” your lower back will be aligned to that lumbar support perfectly, and this chair will be the perfect suit for you! However, if you’re smaller than 6′, then you should probably not choose this chair as it’s specifically designed to accommodate tall people, but not heavy people, so you’re better off having a seat on one of the other entries.

A waterfall-like edge on the seat can also assist reduce the discomfort in your thighs and can help reduce the numbness that can be felt in your legs and feet. The waterfall seat design is the base of a comfortable ergonomic office chair!
