The best furniture for big and heavy people. We test mattresses, recliners, dining chairs, toilet seats, and anything we can get out hands on!
When I was younger and far more innocent, I had no idea that anything like a heavy-duty gaming chair existed. I sat on our old spinning computer chair with paper-thin padding in our living room until my butt went numb. It usually took about 15 minutes. My “computer time” in those days was a max …
Whenever anyone asks me for a product recommendation, I tell them to buy a product meant specifically for big and heavy people. Why? Because they are typically overbuilt and use much higher quality materials than the average item. Heavy-duty bar stools are no different. Whether you are heavy or not, getting bar stools that support …
On multiple occasions over the course of my life, I have been accused of snoring quite loudly. Obviously, I can’t confirm or deny that since I was asleep at the time but I trust the people who have reported it. I’ve always wondered if being fat has anything to do with my snoring. Do fat …
Despite being very well off, my grandpa has had the same furniture on his patio for over 40 years. His kids have given him new patio furniture which has come on and gone but the same few items have been there since before I can remember. During that time, the chairs and the swing frame …
When I was younger, my family didn’t have beach chairs. Or camp chairs. Or any sort of outdoor chairs. I don’t know if my parents thought they were for lazy people (more likely: we just couldn’t afford them) but we never invested in anything that would make our short beach trips more comfortable. We did …
Finding heavy-duty dining chairs for your family can be a challenge. Believe it or not, there are actually many dining chair sets with a 500lb capacity out there…but very few of them are comfortable or aesthetic enough to go in your home. Finding the best dining room chairs, then, is a mix of frame material, …
When my wife and I were first married we spent way too much money on a mattress. While an $800 mattress isn’t at all expensive in the world of premium mattresses, it was a large investment for us. If the mattress was amazing, I would have no regrets…but it wasn’t. The reason that I say …
There must be something in a man’s blood that makes him need a recliner. It could be that I like to be comfortable but, from the number of recliners that I’ve seen in friends’ houses, a man’s recliner needs seem to be a universal truth. When my wife and I were expecting our first child …
“Go camping!” they said. “It’ll be relaxing!” they said. I guess they didn’t foresee the situation where my Walmart “Camp Chair For Big Guys” had two of the legs bend right in half and the seat tear, dumping me on the ground. While that day was a little bit painful and a whole heap of …
By the time I graduated from high school, I was 6’2″ and weighed over 250 pounds. My mom had long since given up on buying me kid or teen items (thankfully) and had been buying me men’s clothes since middle school. So when it came to beds, things were no different. I wasn’t too old …
