Living Room Chair for Heavy Persons: Safety and Comfort

Is excess body weight preventing you from taking full advantage of your living room? Uniquely designed for adults weighing up to 660 lbs, our heavy-duty living room chairs empower users by allowing them to relax, watch TV, or read a book safely, reliably, and comfortably.

At VELA, we believe that our chair is one of the best living room chairs for the average overweight person thanks to innovative features that go well beyond those you’d expect from a typical TV viewing chair.

A Heavy-Duty Relaxation Chair that Hugs Your Body

Our living room chairs for heavy persons are designed to comfortably support your body from the moment you first sit down. A VELA Chair adapts to your body’s contours, making you feel safe and secure at all times. 

Allow our chair’s wide and sturdy armrests to embrace you, as you envision yourself sitting on a throne while overseeing the day-to-day activities of your royal subjects.

Soft + Hard = Comfort

The soft seat on a VELA Chair consists of two foam layers that cushion and coddle your buttocks, no matter its size. 

The combination of hard and soft foam dreamily supports your shape and evenly distributes your weight, virtually eliminating pressure on sensitive body parts.

Breathe Easier in Our Ergonomic Living Room Chair

Do you prefer to fully recline while relaxing in the living room? Although most overweight people do, a leaned back posture does not support healthy breathing like a standing or an upright seated posture. 

Your body needs fresh oxygen to perform optimally. Because you’re not compressing your lungs, sitting upright allows you to breathe more efficiently. The backrest on our ergonomic heavy-duty living room chair is designed to support you in an upright sitting position, giving you the best conditions possible for breathing in oxygen-rich air.

Unrestricted Comfort: Lift Assistance up to 660 lbs.

Is your relaxation break over? Minimize your risk for falling while standing up by using the VELA Chair with an electric lift to gently support your body. Once you’ve engaged the sturdy handbrake, you can slowly raise up using the button on the armrest until you can comfortably slide out of the seat.

Built tough to hold up to 660 lbs, you can count on your VELA Chair to deliver the safe sit-to-stand lift assistance you need without placing more stress on achy hip, knee, and foot joints.

Freely Move About Your Entire Home

As much more than a piece of heavy-duty living room furniture, a VELA Chair can be used throughout the home to support your daily routine. Our chair has four, smooth-running wheels that allow you to push or “walk” it around as you effortlessly navigate across most floor surfaces, including wood and tile. 

Once you’ve reached your destination, simply lock the wheels with the handbrake to keep the chair firmly in place. As long as the brake is activated, the VELA Chair will remain stationary until you are ready to move again.

Why Choose Our Heavy-Duty Living Room Chairs?

When you are a larger individual, finding the best living room chair for overweight persons is essential for your continued health and well-being. As a highly versatile heavy-duty living room chair, a VELA Chair puts you in the “driver’s seat” by offering these benefits: 

Strong and Durable:

Engineered to hold up to 660 lbs and constructed using high quality materials, our bariatric chairs with electric lift are tough enough to withstand the test of time. Our chair’s upholstered seat is made from stain- and wear-resistant fabric, while its legs and frame are reinforced steel. A VELA Chair is made to take care of you, so you can sit back and relax with renewed peace of mind.

Compact-Yet-Spacious:

While our chair is large enough to comfortably hug your body, it is also small enough to easily assimilate into your living room without having to remove furniture. Even better, when not in use you can simply push your VELA Chair aside.

Consumer-Approved Bariatric Chairs

Most people would agree that heavy-duty chairs used in private residences must be constructed to hold more weight and withstand greater wear-and-tear than the average mobility chair or device. That said, VELA Chairs have been assisting larger consumers in Europe for over 30 years, while earning their trust and “stamp of approval.”
