Spec me a heavy duty bariatric office chair please

Hopefully not breaking rules because OCUK doesn't sell office chairs, if I am just delete.

I'm 15 stone but I have now destroyed my 3rd 'Executive' chair in around 10 years.
All 3 were a well known Staples chair.
I'm now looking at spending more so I've got a chair that will last longer so looking at heavy duty/bariatric chairs.
Surely somebody on here has bought one and had experience?
Any suggestions or advice appreciated.

A lot to think about - thanks

I would actually be a good test subject for Noblechairs and I can fetch them

Those £50 "executive" chairs are absolute pos if you spend a lot of time in them.

They were the ones we have a big thread about on here, they cost around £130 - £150.

OcUK do sell chairs! If anyone's deserving of a free chair, it's Sexygreyfox

That is true, one of the first through the door on IMEX Business Park all those years ago and I've just had my Blue Badge today so I need a disability free chair.

You're 15 stone not 30 stone, you don't need some kind of specialist heavy duty fat guy chair, you just need a chair.

Is it a Staples Kashmir you currently have?

I know all about bariatric patients but my reference is if they are strong enough for them then my weight shouldn't bother a chair like that.

Yes the Kashmir, I've had 3 in at least 10 years.

At 15st you do not need a bariatric chair!

I have explained and I have worked with many bariatric people helping to teach staff how to use different lifting devices and slip sheets.

If a bariatric chair is good enough for them then a lightweight like me should never destroy it so it sounds reasonable it should last a lot longer don't you think?

Lol, you sound such a charmer.

Yes i agree with what you are saying.

Hurrah, somebody finally gets my point

I might need to pad the sides out with pillars though.
Actually we have a bariatric staff member in the other room, I'll wait until he goes home to try it.

I also meant slide sheets not slip sheets.

Out the box, the first one as it has more padding in it's naked form, the second one however comes with adjustable lumbar and neck support in the form of plush cushions

You pays your money, you takes your choices

I could just buy the £27 cushions and have a much better chair though?

I've bought this and some pillows - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/nobl...air-Limited-Edition-Anthracite-GC-02J-NC.html
