FAQs
What are heavy duty office chairs?
A heavy duty office chair is a type of desk chair which is designed with durability and strength in mind. They’re larger than standard office chairs and can support more weight thanks to their robust design. Often they are also called bariatric chairs as they’re able to support bigger and taller users due to their larger frame and features.
What are the features of heavy duty office chairs?
Typically, heavy duty office chairs will feature the following:
A larger frame to improve the chair’s stability and accommodate its larger features.
A wider seat to cater for taller and heavier users so that they can sit comfortably whilst working. A wider seat will allow for a person’s weight to be better spread and helps to make sure that a safe amount of pressure is applied to the body to prevent aches and pains.
Adjustable features (such as the armrests, back and seat) so the user can tailor the chair to meet their specific needs.
A higher weight capacity - heavy duty office chairs can support approximately 27 stone, which is higher than standard office chairs.
Padded backs and seats for extra comfort.
How much weight can an office chair hold?
The average amount of weight an office chair can hold will depend on a number of factors, such as its design, the material it’s made from and who it was manufactured by. Typically, an office chair will be able to support up to 18 stone in weight, however, a heavy duty office chair can hold more weight and can support around 27 stone.
What are the benefits of heavy duty office chairs?
They can support more weight and accommodate users with different body shapes.

How do I choose the right heavy duty office chair for me?
Finding the right office chair for your workspace is important because comfortable seating options help to boost productivity and encourage good posture. With many employees needing to stay seated for around 8 hours a day, they need a chair which will offer maximum support. Some things you may want to consider to ensure you choose the best product for your office are:
Which material will be best for your needs - this is very important as different materials will have different qualities. For example, mesh office chairs are made from a breathable mesh fabric which allows for better ventilation, whilst leather office chairs are easy to wipe clean and have a more executive look.
Whether you would like additional features - for example, some heavy duty office chairs will have a high back for extra comfort.
The chair’s aesthetics - if finding a chair that matches your office’s style is important to you, think about which chair would fit in best (considering material and finish).
The price of the product - your budget will inevitably play a part in your purchasing decision.
