What Are the Best Chairs for TALL People? | What's the Best Chair for YOU Pt. 3

What's the BEST chair for YOU if you're 6' (183cm) or taller ?? Finding a good chair for tall people is really hard, as most chairs were made for shorter people. Instead of using a tier list or sifting through reviews, I'm doing a 3 part series where I recommend chairs specifically for YOU! To do this, I put out a questionnaire to my community on all my social media channels (follow me if you're not already!) and asked specific questions around seating preferences. Here are the chairs I recommend for my tall freak of nature friends out there based on various height, weight, seating preferences, and budget! Let's get Ahnest!

It's funny to hear people describe people taller than 6' a freakishly tall. Average male in The Netherlands is something like 6' or 6'1". I'm 6'5" and it usually doesn't take me more than 5 minutes of walking outside to spot at least someone that's taller than me. Unfortunately these guides aren't really applicable, because if it's suitable for someone 6'1", it's not at all guaranteed it will be suitable for 6'5" and above.

Absolutely beautiful video. I’ve been anticipating this since the google forum opened, so I really appreciate that you finished off the list before closing up the series. I truly wish you the best of luck in your work and can’t wait to see what you do next. Have a beautiful day.

[grantanthonylawler]

More tall people vids please. Thanks Dan

[LeBeautiful]

This a great video for the people out there. Still happy with my incredible Mirra 1 cop, but hey, it works.

[parkerhays]

30 seconds in i had to drop a like, which in hindsight i rarely give them out in general. with the intro alone i could tell how much effort you put into your videos. keep up the hard work!

[userunknown]

really great video! That's really helpful for finding my right chair!

[giuseppepaolini]

It's not that much, but i promised to myself that i would have shown my gratitude sooner or later... So here i am still thanking you for your amazing work, not only for this video (crucial for my purchase), but for all the work you keep putting in every single video on the channel. Keep up the amazing work, and thank you again for being the most transparent reviewer on the entire internet <3

[theanswer]

I am 193 and I am thinking about the secretlab titan xl as well. Thanks for the video. :))

[landonlouthian]

Since I sent in my submission I got my hands on a $200 leap v2 in perfect condition to tide me over while I looked and save for end game and I gotta say… I absolutely love it. Thought I didn’t want fabric but I don’t mind it at all. Thought I didn’t like the looks but it’s dope. Do still really want to get my hands on a gesture tho!

[giuseppepaolini]

i was waiting for this video like crazy, thank you so much (i'm the joseph from italy)... i think that when i submitted my infos the embody one year video wasn't out yet, but yes, i obviously watched as it went online:D... now i'm totally sure about my purchase, even without trying it i'm pretty sure that the embody logitech is the way to go for me... also thank you a lot for the detailed informations about the warranty of the fabrics and other stuff, it's way more clear now... i freaking love you man <3

[xviii]

Ares here, i got the secretlab awhile ago, due to me passing my exams flawlessly. I gotta admit, i can finally sit without getting a massive hurting back after an hour or so. I got the XL depsite being really leigtweighted. It sits perfectly. I'd recommend it for everyone with a medium budget

[leifn]

This video helps a lot, thank you from the bottom of my heart. So about head height for normal people.

[aliciamaedo]

I'm 5 ft but I enjoy watching your vids. Very informative!

[EyeFearFoolie]

I’m a tall lanky guy 6’7 around 185-ish pounds and let me tell you the gesture has been one of the best purchases of my life. After some research I learned that backrest promote slouching somewhat but I really wanted the headrest, decided to try it without and it’s been fantastic. In a weird way it kind of taught me how to sit if that makes since.

[jeremysmith]

Loving the comments here - what about us tall people! 6ft5 and 190lb - aeron c is not comfy to sit on, embody has no upper back support (head rest would be essential), gesture sounds decent, but not sat on one. Have ikea markus which was good, but cheap and padding went in a year / two, humanscale diffrient lumbar support (current) is too low, varier balance chair is not for tall people - bough and tried, but it hurt knees after a while (have one for sale now). Hag sofi mesh is what i think i am going to buy next, i sat on hag tribute which was lovely but £2.2k when spec'd.

Hey Dan -- First off, your channel is amazing! Do you Have any recommendations for heavier people? im around 360lbs 6 feet tall -- im a graphic designer, so lots of sitting and long hours -- I have a had a leap plus for the last 2 years -- really dislike it -- kills my legs, and now getting shoulder tendonitis -- been working in the design industry for 27 years and have all types if basic office store chairs and two steel case chairs -- im now 50 years old and need better support and comfort -- im in the US and my budget is open for the right chair. Thank you in advance

[danielsullivan]

All these really tall skinny guys! Only one big guy named Dan! (Wasn’t me lol) I’m 360, 6’3” I’ve sat in an Aeron and loved it but only was in it for like 30 minutes, and I’ve heard concerns about the plastic sides, especially since (when I was smaller) loved to sit on my legs, or criss-cross. Not sure if I can even do that at my weight anymore, but looking to lose weight. Thinking I like the Embody but never sat in it and it’s pretty pricey and I don’t know if I can swing it soon. I know you recommended the MFavour ergonomic chair in a different video, but not sure how to seek it out to try it. There’s also a $200 ULINE chair with mesh back and big cushion seat I really liked at one of my old jobs, but not sure if ULINE does retail sales.

[joshg]

[recklessthor]
