Would this still be comfortable for someone who is overweight?

I would not recommend it. The reason futons are good for many is that it gives enough cushioning to make things soft for your bones, but not too much, so that your bodyweight is supported by your bones while your muscles and organs relax and have better circulation (as with all good posture) rather than getting compressed from the cushioning or being under persistent low strain trying to support themselves from sinking in. If you are overweight, the weight may not be supported by the bones any which way, so it would be better to have cushioning that would at least evenly distribute the pressure as much as possible.

This futon tends to compress pretty quickly. I rolled it up every morning when I wake up. After two or three weeks, it gets compressed and less comfortable for me. Over two years, it started to give me backache. My weight is 60kg.

The trick to keeping a traditional Japanese futon in good condition is to air it out and fluff it up regularly, such as once a week or more often if you are worried about mattress compression. They are designed to be thick and comfortable for years when taken care of well. If you are not already used to sleeping without a mattress support like the ones for western beds you may experience discomfort for a while, and if you have specific medical concerns with back pain then you should stick to a western bed or put the futon mattress on a mattress support in a bed frame. This mattress is intended for use on tatami mats, which are a bit softer than western carpet and wood floors!

It's comfortable for now one. We bought them, used them for a few weeks and got rid of them. Horrible back and hip pain

Honestly, I'm not sure. I used this for a little while while I hurt my knee, and I had it on my carpeted floor, but I needed more back support. If you have not used a futon before, then I would be cautious.

I am 250lbs and it is comfortable when I am sitting. The height can be adjusted.

Its heavy, so it depends on if you are back packing or not. It would definitely be more comfortable!

No, it should be comfortable for you. Plus its somewhat adjustable with seat height and handlebar height. Ended up buying a bigger seat for a little more comfort.

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

When my mother got this, I did sit in it to see how it felt (if it was too roomy or too short/tall). I weigh 230 & it felt comfortable. My grandfather tried it too & he weighed 280-290 & he thought it was very comfortable.

It should not be a problem, however, I don't find it incredibly comfortable...I mean it's not a difference maker.

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

Might not be the most comfortable for someone her size. I'm 6' even and 150lbs, and feet me extremely well. Could work out, but the side straps may sit at an awkward position.

No.it's not thick enough for comfort for your weight. I would go with a futon or a much thicker mattress.

I'm only 165 pounds.. the seat is a bit too small for you anyway, you won't feel comfortable. so not recommend :)

No. Not with any semblance of comfort, not sure about the weight ratings.I am 5'10" 174 and the fit on me is almost ideal if not a tiny bit snug.

I would say no. It is probably too big. I am 5'9" and 160# and it feels a big on me. I would say that I am the minimum height and weight for this harness.

It won't be snug. I'm 6 foot 1 and 192 pounds. The vest is slightly loose on me. It feels comfortable and I have no issues with it...but sometimes I need to hold the best with one hand while I remove my camera.

Yes, abtolutely. I have been using it for about a year (or perhaps slightly less) and it feels exactly as it did when new. However....I weigh only 136 pounds, so how it would perform for a larger person, I'm not sure.Robert

Well, I don't match your gender or exactly your size, but I can tell you that the belt is designed to fit a waist size up to 50". It will feel awkward at first, whatever your size, but once you get it on correctly and wear it for a while, you will appreciate it. It has two levels of closure (a wider bottom band - seen in the picture as black - and a more narrow stretch band - seen in the picture as silver - that fits on top. Even after you get it on, you can pull it up or down a bit (to help with the gut?). At first you will feel like you cannot sit down with it on, but after walking and working while wearing it, you get the knack of how to make it work. It is rather thick, is something to wear over your clothes, and is not a thing of beauty, but if your back hurts and the belt works, then...

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.
