Foldable Chair Information:

It took over a year to source and be approved to represent portable chairs of this quality.

What to look for in a Super Sized Heavy Duty Portable Chair:

1.      Static Weight versus Usable weight: Static weight is a chairs ability to hold a perfectly still load. Chances are if a manufacturer lists a weight capacity it is static weight. While an interesting number, it has little relevance if you are getting into a chair, move around in the chair or want to have your picture taken with your kids or grandkids squirming around on your lap. Be sure to look for both a static weight and a usable weight rating.

2.      Usable Weight: This is the real world weight rating your chair should function well within. The user’s weight should be less than the usable weight. Buy a chair based on the usable weight.

3.      Chair Arm Strength: Consider how you get into and out of a chair. If you prefer to push down on the chair arms you will appreciate knowing the arm weight ratings on our chairs.

• Frame Construction: For durability and maximizing the usable weight on a folding chair, High Density Steel is the material of preference. And for you folks who like facts, here are some specifications on the Ultimate chair.
• Tested Static Weight Capacity 1400 pounds on seat and armrests at same time
• Drop tested vertically from 24 feet
• Components physically beaten with a 2 pound ball peen hammer.
• Fabric was rip tested 400 pounds per square inch
• Steel frame is 19mm diameter galvanized steel, Tubes are 2.1 mm thick

• Components physically beaten with a 2 pound ball peen hammer.

Fitting Considerations: Use a normal chair from your kitchen or another type of chair with a solid seat and backrest. Consider which height you most prefer. You will then need to measure the height at the top of the seat. Please remember the chairs we have are made with a slightly stretchable fabric. You will sink slightly. If you are using the chairs at the beach, the chair legs will also sink slightly.

Consider your height. If you are 5’8” or 5’9” you may want a regular height chair of 14 to 17 inches at the seat. If you are taller go with a chair that has a higher seat, 17” to 24”. You should also consider whether or not you prefer to put your hands on the arms and push yourself up and out of a chair, or you may prefer to step down when getting out of a chair. Note – if you have injuries to your lower body or back and cannot push up:  go with the taller chair seat.

Consider your weight. This is a serious consideration when purchasing our compact folding chairs. We have 2 lines of chairs. Our Standard Products Line and our Max Performance line. If you are a person who is “Super Average”, a Person of Size, or someone who wants the ultimate in strength and quality, the Max Performance line of chairs is where you should begin shopping.  Remember, on the Max Performance Ultimate the arm width is 23 inches at the very bottom and spreads out as the armrest goes up the arm.

Consider your Comfort Level. Do you like sitting lower and maybe slouching a little bit? If so go with a lower seat height. Or, do you like to sit up with a straighter back? If so then go with a taller seat height.

Consider how you will use your chair: If you love to have 4^th of July pictures taken with your kids or grandkids in your lap, please buy the Max Performance chair.
