Office chairs for heavy people
(2020年09月24日)There are numerous reasons which make buying a computer chair for a heavier short person quite difficult. While there is no one perfect chair that will suit every person living under the national height, the below guide will help you narrow down the few options you have. Following this guide will be the appropriate office chairs regarding height and weight capacity. And you can choose the office chairs for heavy people.
Weight capacity
Most office chairs these days have a weight capacity of 200 to 220 pounds. For a heavy person this is not enough and will eventually cause the chair to buckle under the pressure. While there are many high weight capacity office chairs, many of them are aimed at taller people.
Seat height
For whatever reason, most people assume that a big person must be tall. So many of the high weight limit chairs are aimed at taller folks. Which for a short person is simply not compatible.
People around or over 6 foot tall have many options. Someone that is 6 foot can comfortably sit in a chair that is 23 inches tall. However, a short person will be left dangling their feet, which is not the most ergonomic position. So for someone much shorter at around 5 foot, the maximum height for the seat should be between 15 inches and 18 inches.
Seat depth
This may not apply to all short people as some folks have longer legs than someone the same height. But for the most part, a short person needs a seat depth that is much shorter. Otherwise, the knees won’t be able to bend down to a ergonomic 90 °. Anything above 20 inches is going to be too deep for a short person.
Seat width&arms
Seat width, or length, is crucial for a bigger person. A seat that is too small is simply going to be uncomfortable. Its extremely difficult to find the perfect sear size when you are shorter and wider than average size. Most seats are very square in shape which means we either sacrifice width or depth in the process. Both of which are important for a short heavy person.
