Author: Most modern office chairs are built with a hydraulic air cushioning device that allows one a gentle seating and also assists in setting seat height to an almost infinite number of positions. These devices are part of the new ergonomic designs incorporated into almost all quality office chairs. The adjustable height allows for quick changes for different users specific to keyboard reach and line of sight for computer monitors.
Unfortunately, when a heavier user repeatedly sits down on a standard quality office chair, the stress and strain on the air cushioning device is too great and within a matter of months the device will fail and the chair essentially bottoms out. The answer is a heavy duty office chair that will support more than the standard 250 pound weight limit and is built to withstand the extra stress caused by heavier person landing on the seat repeatedly throughout the day.
