I'm 5'10 185 lb, of normal build. How comfortable is the 16x16 seat from a wideness perspective. I don't want to be squished.

I bought this for my Mom, 5' 4" and 122 lbs. She finds it very comfortable. I can only speculate at your definition of comfort or what width you need between the armrest structure to accommodate whatever your pelvic width is. I weigh 180 myself, and 16" might be close to an uncomfortable closeness to the armrest frame, but that's me.

My husband who is 5'9" and 200 lbs said it was fine for him, so it should be wide enough for you. I recommend one of those special cushions if you need to sit in it for extended time. Mine cost about $100 but it was really worth it.

Hi Patrick, you should be fine, this chair is great for narrow door ways. Don

I'm Not Sure But You Might Be Squished In The Narrow Chair. My Mom Is 5'3 110# And Fits Great In It.

I weigh 200 pound, 40 inch waist - if I gained girth or width it would be tight - just fits - 16.5 inches between forward armrest supports - back part of seat where you actually sit is wider. very comfortable. very sturdy. Although I feel like my weight might be too much for rough usage? T.J.

No, it is comfortable. I would suggest the wider chair. My next purchase will be one that is wider.

I am 6'3" myself...I basically live in the chair. I am 193 lbs and it seems to hold me well. I sleep/nap for 2 hours in it and it don't bother me or make me feel stiff or anything. Its a good chair for the money...you do have to get used to the material though....its not leather...but it feels like it a little...very comfortable chair!

Not sure. I'm 5'8, 178 lbs and may have been one of the bigger people. The seats are comfortable for me, but probably narrow for someone who is wider.

I find the seat quite comfortable w/o anything added. Think of a very firm hammock, if that helps.

I found this pad quite comfortable and helpful. I use it in a sitting position so I don't put my full weight on it, however. Good luck.

I weigh 265 and it easily accommodates me. I would guess that you will be fine!

As seats of this type, I think it is comfortable. It is a little nicer than your basic seat. This is a nice bike.

I can tell you that I'm a big boy (5'9", 250lb) and it fits me comfortably. In fact I have never even considered this issue during my use. As for comfort, I choose to use it at the mid-range rather than fully inverted because of the stress it puts on my feet. 250lb is a lot to have pulling on your feet. However, I am sure that if/when I lose this extra weight I will probably be able to use it fully inverted without discomfort. And I do find it to be beneficial despite not using it fully inverted but of course each person's experience may be different. In my case I have 2 herniated discs which is why I use this apparatus. I hope this info helps you. I can tell you that I'm a big boy (5'9", 250lb) and it fits me comfortably. In fact I have never even considered this issue during my use.

It will be perfect for you.i wish it sunk in more. I'm 160 and 5'9" but if I were heavier it wouldn't make a difference.

Padding isn't terrible but not fantastic either. B/c of the saddle shape it does cause a sore butt for a week or so. It's great now with no aches or pains. I'm 5'8" 128 with boney behind. Love the chair for the price. Their are higher end saddle chairs that have A+ padding but they are $500.00+.

Yes, it is very comfortable, but remember it will also raise you up an inch or two from the ground. I found myself straining to touch ground when I come to stop. Other than that I really like this seat for it's comfort. Good rideing

I am 6 foot 5 tall and weigh 280. After assembling a chair and love seat, I subjected them to my considerable bulk in a "drop and flop". Solid as a rock with just enough give in the backrest to be comfortable.

I got the regular size and it was perfect for me. I'm 5' 5" and I had plenty of extra room below my feet. The width is also great. It slept really comfortably.

It is very comfortable. It did compress quite a bit within a relatively short time after I began using it. I am a relatively small build, and it still gives me more than enough cushioning. I can't say how well it would hold up with someone obese, but I think it would be OK. good luck.

You're right on the border line. You would technically be fine, but might not feel 100% comfortable. It's really great for kids and preteens. I am 5'3" and 130 lbs and am more comfortable the next size up, since we have both.
