I can't see any info online or in the box about a weight limit. I'd get one for my dad as well, but he's a big guy...anyone have input on max weights?

We have had our Homedics massager for over 5 years now without any problems. My husband weighs about 200 lbs. and uses it frequently. It also gets used by other family members on a regular basis without any problems but they are much smaller. From my experience I can't see why weight would be a factor because the massaging balls are only on the back and not on the seat where most of the weight would be. Hope this helps.

I don't think there is a weight limit and it seems very sturdy. I would get it!

I bought HoMedics MCS for my husband, he really enjoys this device, and it seems to give him a good massage.

The way it is made, it should work for all weights. The seat is only a thin foam cushion, there are no moving or electrical parts in the seat itself. Everything is in the back. I am 190lbs and it works great. Weight should not make much of a difference because of the way it is constructed. Just put the seat in a chair (we use it in an upright recliner) and lean back against it and turn on the controls.

I don't know the weight limit set by the manufacturer, but my Dad is 250 and he rides it with no problem. We have 2 now in the family- they are great!

I am not sure what the weight maximum is...I have a friend who weighs about 240, and he uses it. Another friend weighs 340 and he just looks at it and says "no way"! I think for the most comfort, about 200pds.

the bench is well made but I think its a bit small. I never noticed that 250lb limit. If I had I think I would have bought something else. I am 175 and rising so I will most likely have that same issue. Buy something else, something you know won't let you down.

I am not sure about that as I no longer have the box. I don't remember seeing a weight limit on it. I am 225 and I bounce around on it pretty good with no problems

No weight limit. Have seen 350lb guys use them no problem. Very robust design.

I don't have a real answer but I bought this for my father who is down to 105 pounds and it has worked well for him. It would not work well for someone who is much heavier. My mother weighs 160 and it would be too small for her.

Not sure of the maximum weight it can support if thats what your asking? I can tell you it supported me and my brother just fine, and our combined weight was an easy 400lbs. Took this from the manufactures website ' Weight Rating in excess of 350 lbs (150 kg).'

The information in the package didn't mention a weight limit. I weigh 132 lbs., and my husband is 213 lbs., and we both use it with no difficulty. I really like this product.

I don't know the weight limit. You could write to the seller through Amazon.com. Maybe they will give you that info.Sorry!

The weight limit is 130 pounds. If the adult weighs that much or less, why not? I'm going to try mine.

Well, you are not alone. I completely missed that wt limit also, if it was there. None of my friends can use it. One friend who is 145lb could not really make it work. We ended up doing some redneck engineering with some boat bumpers and can sit on it, but not stand. I am going to save for my neices and nephews, but all of my crew is too heavy.

I am not sure of the weight limit, but we have some guys that are about 250 here and they have not broken them yet. :)

This meant as a general Comment for all the Answers: Thank you everyone for all your answers. At topping 300lbs, I suspect I wouldn't be able to even sit on this without being worried about crushing it, heh. I usually don't pay a lot of attention to weight limits on things that seem like they should be ultra sturdy (I have no problems climbing a ladder with a 200lb rating, for instance, I just don't jump up and down on it and I balance my weight). But it sounds like this would be an injury waiting to happen. Thank you all for taking your time to answer this!

I couldn't find any info in the manual about a weight limit, but I weigh 200 pounds and it has no problem propelling or supporting me. It is built really well.

Saw a video with a Solstice rep. He stated the weight limit is 275. I can neither confirm nor deny the performance at that weight though.

The manual says max 300 lbs for a person, 100 lbs for weights. I don't know why they don't just say 400 lbs is the max.
