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?

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 …
