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 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, vinyl chair mats …
Looking for the best high-end massage chair? Easy…just go buy the most expensive one (here on Amazon). But if you’re looking for the best massage chair for big and tall people….things get a bit trickier…. When I was newly married (and stressed out of my mind), I remember going to a friend’s wedding.

“Oh sure you can spend the night, we’ll just pull out our heavy duty air mattress….” When my wife and I first got married I would dread visiting her parents. Oh, you do too? Well, I didn’t dread it for the normal reasons, I’m afraid. They’re nice enough people. I just knew that whenever I …

Unless, of course, your rocking chair experience is accompanied by creaks, groans, and the imminent prospect of your rocking chair collapsing and possibly impaling your leg with a shard of wood. The best outdoor rocking chairs are designed in a …
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 …
Every year during the holidays my wife and I have to visit our respective families. Due to divorces, remarriages, etc., we end up visiting and sleeping at 3-4 different houses during the weeks I have off work. During this time my sleep situation could be better. I’ve slept on the floor, on a heavy-duty futon, …
