Gaming chair for the larger man!

Kris swinbanks · 20 Oct 2018 at 16:09

Hi all,

I am in need of a gaming chair than not only will support 170kg but would also be comfy as you can appreciate on the above.

Thanks for your help.

380kgs = 837 lbs there is nothing out there that can hold someone this heavy the closest is 450lbs search on amazon for the DXRacer Tank Series DOH/TS29/NR

There are a number that go by the name of Goliath, Hercules, Big and Tall, and names like that. They all seem to be the same chairs really with different names. They are typically about £260. Recommended not just for heavy people but tall people too. They usually go up to around 378 lbs

Having had a Titan Goliath duo, I would not recommend them.

Mine lasted 7 days, before the foam collapsed and I ended up with the bolt that goes into the backrest digging into my back, through the thin faux leather.
The foam in the base had also gone flat in that time too.

I actually agree to some extent but I find that a really good "large" chair you are talking about a lot more than £250

I maybe wrong but think i read somewhere that the hero chair is designed better for a larger person compared to the epic or icon chairs

Probably most importantly though, the size of the seat and backrest has been increased, which for larger people like me is a very welcome addition. Along with this you have larger improved 4D armrests, providing more comfort and functionality with their cold foam upholstery. Of course the HERO provides all the customary features that can be found on every noblechair - cold cured foam used throughout, with industry thickest PU or real leather providing a luxury finish, precise stitching and an extremely durable frame and is capable of holding up to 180KG.

From sitting in all 3, my favourite is the HERO. More adjustability and it's great for the larger gentlemen.
