How this site works

Bench-tested, not skimmed

Every product gets measured, weighed on, and used the way it's actually used at home — not unboxed for a photo and shipped back.

Weight ratings you can check

The signature feature is a searchable database of manufacturer-stated weight capacities — so you can check a number before you buy, not after it fails.

Real-use scenarios, rated

Sitting upright, leaning forward, reaching back, getting up — the moments that actually matter get their own rating, not a single star score.

Written by Theodore

One byline, no ghostwriters, no wellness-brand voice. Blunt about the problem, never about you.
