The best furniture for big and heavy people. We test mattresses, recliners, dining chairs, toilet seats, and anything we can get out hands on!
There’s nothing quite like sitting on a friend’s couch….and breaking it. Not that I would know…it was a work couch that I broke… (allegedly) As a big and heavy guy, I’ve always been hyperaware of where I sit. Not only is it draining to stand for long periods of time but there are also fewer …
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 …
Few things are more frustrating than a crusty yellow chair mat. You know the kind. You probably first rolled around on one in elementary school and they’ve been at every place you’ve worked. The cracks catch your wheels and just about tip you over every time you move around. The problem is, that vinyl chair …
Whenever anyone asks me for a product recommendation, I tell them to buy a product meant specifically for big and heavy people. Why?

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 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 …
Finding clothing as a plus-size girl or big guy used to be the biggest challenge in the world. Ten years ago if I wanted to find t-shirts that fit at my local mall my only store option was “Big Dogs” a big and tall store with Mastiffs and St. Bernards on all of their clothing. …
You have an event coming up and your obese friend/family member is coming over. Do you let them sit on and possibly break your regular furniture? Do you provide a special chair for them?
