There is no difference between heavy duty chairs and bariatric chairs. The term Bariatric comes from ‘Bariatric Surgery’, which is a variety of surgeries for people who are overweight or struggling with weight issues. But Bariatric chairs aren’t just designed for overweight users due to the back's height, so the term heavy duty chair is more commonly used as these are also suitable chairs for tall people.
Many of our heavy duty chairs also fit into the Control Room Chair category. Control room chairs are designed for multi-shift 24 hour use. Control room chairs are designed for prolonged use and durability.

AFRDI Rating
Ideally, you want your heavy duty furniture to be Level 6 approved. This means your chair has met the highest standards for durability, performance, sustainability, and overall functionality.
You will notice that many heavy duty chairs have been given AFRDI Level 6 certification. What does this mean exactly? The Australasian Furnishing Research & Development Institute (AFRDI) is an organisation that determines product standards for a wide range of furniture. The certification is dependent on how safe the chair is and how good the product is for the environment. AFRDI Level 6 is the highest rating a chair can receive. Level 6 means that the product can adhere to the toughest working conditions in environments like hospitals, police stations, and casinos.
Whether or not you should have heavy duty chairs in your meeting or waiting room depends on the kind of work environment. For example, doctors’ surgeries and hospital waiting rooms should have a percentage of heavy duty chairs because they have overweight people who visit their businesses frequently. Whereas for an office environment, it is better to order heavy duty chairs on request as they have better knowledge of the people who work there and what their physical requirements are.
