Big and Tall Chairs represent a specific office seating furniture category, created for users over 250 lbs. or over 6'4”. Also known as heavy-duty chairs, these products are reinforced for extensive weight support and often have a larger seat, a taller back, and thicker seat and armrest padding. They usually feature a seat height adjustment range higher than standard office chairs. This will ensure that extra tall users are properly supported by the chair and are able to place their feet flat on the ground when seated, encouraging proper blood circulation while working.

Common features include tilt tension, chair tilt lock, seat and back height regulation as well as multiple arm, knee and lumbar support adjustments. 

HERE ARE 4 TIPS FOR CHOOSING THE PERFECT BIG AND TALL OFFICE CHAIR:

WEIGHT CAPACITY

First and foremost, you'll need to decide on the weight capacity requirement. Regular everyday office furniture chairs are usually rated for up to 250lbs, but this is not enough for many people. Most of the big office chairs is this category are thoroughly tested to meet weight ratings of at least 300lbs. Many of them exceed these minimim standards, and pass the testing for 350-400lbs. And finally for very special needs, there are heavy duty furniture chairs rated for 500 and even 1000 lbs.

ERGONOMIC FEATURES

Another important feature to consider when choosing your big man chair (or big woman chair!) are the ergonomic functions and adjustments. Usually: the more features – the better. But this often comes at a higher cost, so be sure you cover the most important features that will fit your budget.

We strongly recommend choosing a chair that at least offers the following, to start: seat height adjustment, tilt lock and tilt tension control, arm height adjustment, and contoured cushions. If you can find one with a lumbar support, especially with a back height or depth adjustment, your back with thank you kindly. Bonus ergo features allow you more freedom to personalize the angles and depths of your seat, back, and arm rests. These bonus features are well worth it if you are able to invest the funds!

BUDGET

If you are looking for a standard big and tall desk chair for the office, you should aim for a price range between $200 and $600. If you need a 500 lb capacity office chair or the more feature rich big and tall executive office chairs, you should be prepared to spend between $500 and $1300. Finally, for a high-end top model that offers an amazing design and revolutionary features, you should be prepared to spend up to $2000 or even $3000, but once you try it, you will feel the difference and understand the worth.
