Are You Obese? Office Chair Tips and Hints - By: Genesis D.

There’s no reason to put up with an office chair cracking under your weight. If you are obese, office chair comfort is one of the most important things you can look into for your health. It’s not uncommon for those who are overweight to end up with back and leg problems, thanks to poor posture. Often, that poor posture is caused by the anxiety over a potential broken chair.

Anyone who is over 200 lbs can tell you that obese and office chair don’t go together. It can be humiliating when your new chair cracks or a leg snaps off, dumping you on the floor. Choosing a specially designed obese office chair will help you regain your confidence, improve your posture and feel better about your work day.

So, what should you look for in an obese office chair? Here are the biggest things to watch for.

- Solid metal. If the office chair is entirely plastic, it probably won’t hold up. This is particularly true if the base is made of plastic. Even the webbed type can’t actually sustain much more than 175 lbs in most cases.

- Rated for 400 lbs or higher. Depending on your actual weight, you should look at a chair that is rated for at least 25 lbs more than you weigh. The majority of office chairs are built for 200 lbs max. You will be able to find others, however, that are designed for the obese. Office chairs for bigger people are usually rated for at least 400 lbs.

- Long lasting. You can check reviews online or look for a guarantee to ensure longevity in your new office chair. If others are reporting breakages within a few days, you might want to look elsewhere. There are now a number of places manufacturing obese office chairs.

- Comfortable. Most of us spend quite a bit of time in our office chairs and if you are going to be sitting there for a while, it’s a good idea to be comfortable! That means wider seating and comfortably positioned arms. Adjustable office chairs are even better.

If you’re obese, office chairs that are rated for just 150-200 lbs aren’t going to cut it. You need something sturdier and there is nothing better than being able to sit without the anxiety that you might crash to the floor at any minute. The investment in a sturdier office chair is most certainly worth it.
