Default Good seats for fat people?

I was interested in getting some racing seats. I'd like something lighter, but im pretty chunky in da hipzz and tall also. I have a 38 waist and im 6' 2''. Any good seat suggestions? I want a set that can be had in leather or alcantara (or specialty fabric..) and in maroon, red.

i'm 6 feet 275lbs.
i have corbeau TRS seats wide version.
they are very good seats, very comfortable and can hold upto a 42" waist, they are in microsuede material.

only thing you may have to get though is the sparco sliders/brackets because the corbeau brackets raise the seat a little bit so being 6'2" you may hit your head on the top to the car... look into sparco sliders I heard(not 100% sure its true) they are lower.

lol I was going to say that a good seat for a fat person is on a stationary bicycle. Go for Corbeau wide seats of maybe some Sparco wides, but the higher end you go, the less cushion/comfy they will be for you.

Unfortunately, most seats are super tight and really don't accomodate larger people.

First of all, we're not fat we're big bonedid. lol

Second, corbeau does make a wide version of their a4's which should be sufficient. Thats about the only good company I know that has a racing seat thats wide.

Good luck.

JIC Magic makes some reclinable seats that should fit you no problem.

Or if you want to spend a bit more you can check out the Bride XAXII with low side bolsters

You can even spend a bit more on the new Bride Vorga seat, comes with low side bolsters and a Carbon Fiber back.

Good Luck!
