Family vacations are approaching, and weโ€™re sure the water is calling your name! Have you found any good beach chairs for plus size people yet? If not, keep reading.

Although itโ€™s fun watching the waves and feeling the sand between your toes, failing to bring a reliable chair to the beach isnโ€™t. Specifically, itโ€™s an unspoken belief that most plus size women only like to be seaside under the conditions that they can be cuteโ€ฆ and COMFORTABLE. OK, maybe we made that up, but you get the point, right? Right. The right beach chair is a big part of that comfort so here are a few we know you and your behind will appreciate it.

What to Look for When Buying Beach Chairs for Plus Size

How much weight does it hold?

When looking at the productโ€™s specifications, this should be your go-to section. Understanding the chairโ€™s capacity could save you time and a tumble if broken. Whether purchasing it online or in person, check for an item tag or detail page.

Is it metal, plastic, or wooden?

The annoying truth is that plastic and wooden chairs (of any kind) are not big-girl friendly. Well, at least, not usually. There may be instances where you could get by with hard plastic or a super solid type of wood, but in this caseโ€ฆ youโ€™re better safe than sorry. Assuring that the legs of the chair are metal is key. Transporting it could be a slight headache, but in the end, itโ€™ll be worth it.

Does it have a supportive seating area?

Unlike lawn chairs, many beach chairs are made without a cushion. To support your buttocks, some have a fabric seat or the annoying hard plastic we just mentioned above. When sitting for an extended amount of time, youโ€™ll need to ensure that the seating is heavy-duty and convenient enough so that the friction wonโ€™t irritate the back of your thighs.

Even worse, if itโ€™s plastic, unsticking your thighs from the chair could be more painful than sunburn. If this is a virtual purchase, sift through the reviews to see what the people have said about it. If this is an in-person transaction, do a test-sit for a few seconds to see how you like it.

Foldable or non-foldable?

This is necessary to know for transport purposes. On beach days, youโ€™re (more than likely) going with family and friends and donโ€™t have time to wrestle with getting a chair into the vehicle. Be mindful of that when setting your sights on a non-foldable. However, if itโ€™s just you and the kids or your boo, it shouldnโ€™t pose a problem.

Whatโ€™s the width looking like?

Beach chairs mostly have armrests, so confirming that the chair is spacious and wonโ€™t weigh in on your sides is a priority. Way too often, outdoor furniture is only designed for the average body shape. Unfortunately, the back rolls, side flabs, and hips arenโ€™t normally on the manufacturerโ€™s mind. Make sure you have enough wiggle room to move around without the fear of getting stuck.

Have you asked yourself these questions and are ready to shop? If so, letโ€™s get into some of our TCF-chosen beach chairs for plus size!
