Which chair ?

Apologies if this is in the incorrect section.

There are a few chairs at OCUK now but I'm wondering if anybody could give me advice onto which one is better for a big lad. 6ft3 20 stone.

Take a look at the DxRacer KING series i just got one myself im 6ft1 and 19 stone the chair is rock solid does not feel flimsy and feels like it can support me without breaking a sweat it also it quite wide with unobtrusive bolstering.

i'm 6ft 4 ish and 17 stone,

the aK racing pyro is the one i have it's fine. some of them are a bit thin in the shoulders and some have narrow bases but the measurements should all be accurate.

5,8 14 stone
Had my DxRacer D-series/Soho for 2 months now glad i spent the money.
supports my neck and back wondrfully and is very comfy

I imagine the king series /taller persons chairs to be just as good

For the larger person's frame, watch out for the seat style with many of the chairs. I have chubby thighs (there might be a more discreet way of phrasing that) at just under 6' and 18 stone. The AK Racing Premium chair I have has a quite pronounced side bolster to the sides of the seat, a design I see on a number of chairs. That forces you to sit very leg's together which might be good for the posture, but not necessarily relaxing. Don't get me wrong, I like my chair, but there are times when I push back, rather than am gaming that something wider would be nicer.

It's nice to see an increasing range of chairs on sites like OcUK, but this is really something quite difficult to buy online when you really want to be able to park your bum on a few cushions and see which really fits. After all one size doesn't fit all.

I picked up a DX Racer Max Series chair about 3 weeks ago and love. I suffer from a bad back where I have to see an Osteopath and this chair has to be one of the most comfortable ones I have sat it. Im about 5ft 9 - 15st. Love it

Arozzi XL series?

Are there actually any chairs which hold you in one place? All the chairs I had so far were massive, the support was bad...

I'm 6ft 8" and about 18 stone and find the DXracer k-series the best chair that I have ever owned by far! Had it about 4-5 months now I think and its showing none of the usual signs of weakness that I've always got from the endless £100+ staples chairs that I have bought in the past. The arms wobble a bit (since day one) but the rest feels very very solid.
