What is the standard seat width for office chairs?

Standard commercial office chair seat widths range from 18"–20" for regular-size models, which fits the majority of adult users comfortably. Wide or bariatric office chairs offer 22"–26" seat widths for larger-frame users. A seat that's too narrow creates hip pressure on the outer sides; a seat too wide makes it difficult to position armrests at a useful distance from the body. For most users, an 18"–20" seat is the right fit; users with hip widths over 20" should look specifically at wide-seat models.
