Spec me a heavy duty bariatric office chair please

[SexyGreyFox]

Hopefully not breaking rules because OCUK doesn't sell office chairs, if I am just delete.

I'm 15 stone but I have now destroyed my 3rd 'Executive' chair in around 10 years.
All 3 were a well known Staples chair.
I'm now looking at spending more so I've got a chair that will last longer so looking at heavy duty/bariatric chairs.
Surely somebody on here has bought one and had experience?
Any suggestions or advice appreciated.

Won’t a “bariatric” chair be ridiculously wide?

At 15st you do NOT need a bariatric chair, i'm 23st and find my Nobel Epic perfectly does the job; no creaks, wobbles and have about 2 inches of extra space each side.

I have a Herman Miller Aeron size C and I love it. I would definitely get the size C though. Size B likely won't be big enough.

This ^^^

I burned through several office chairs from the likes of Staples before saying stuff it and plumping for an Aeron size C, that was over 15 years years ago and its still going strong. I'm 6ft and similar weight to you (I was a couple of stone heavier though when I bought it).

Personally I'd stick to the cheaper stuff and replace it every few years, it gives you the opportunity to try out new stuff, refreshes your warranty and keeps up with the latest tech.

Buying a £lol chair is all well and good but after 10 years it'll be mankier than Paris Hilton's coin purse.

That's not particularly heavy. Just stop buying rubbish chairs and buy a better quality chair. I'm 19 stone and my Herman Miller Embody has lasted me yonks.

I'm sure @fiveub can you sort you out with a decent Noblechair.

Free too, I hear he likes giving out free chairs.

OcUK do sell chairs! If anyone's deserving of a free chair, it's Sexygreyfox

During a quick mindless skim of the thread titles, I genuinely thought you'd asked for a "Barbaric" chair and though you wanted to punish someone

Yep. That's what I have. I've had it well over 10 years. I sit in it most days. All day. Still the same as the day I got it. I'm about 17 stone.

Took me two reads too

A lot to think about - thanks

I would actually be a good test subject for Noblechairs and I can fetch them

I'm 14 stone been using a leather Hero for past year and half working from home full time, the dense foam's still kept its integrity, it's super comfortable for me, pretty sure any type of Hero chair is fine for 15 stone or way heavier, I think up to about 22 stone.

Those £50 "executive" chairs are absolute pos if you spend a lot of time in them.

They were the ones we have a big thread about on here, they cost around £130 - £150.

That is true, one of the first through the door on IMEX Business Park all those years ago and I've just had my Blue Badge today so I need a disability free chair.
