Melokea built the ReliefBack Max for big and tall users who prefer mesh to padded leather. It is rated to 200 kg, certified to the European EN 12520 seating standard, and sits on steel legs with a reinforced base. A weight-sensing tilt, dynamic lumbar and strengthened 3D armrests make it a practical everyday office chair for people who find standard ratings too low.

In its favour
- A 200 kg rating with steel legs and a stated EN 12520 certification suits heavier tall users.
- Seat height starts at 47 cm, a sensible floor for tall users who rarely need it lower.
- The 3D armrests move 7 cm in height, 5 cm forward and back, and rotate 30°.
Good to know
- The listing gives no seat depth or user height range.
- The headrest adjusts in two directions only, with 5 cm of lift.
Our take
Strength and standards
A 200 kg capacity is unusual for a mesh chair. Melokea backs it with steel legs, a reinforced base, an SGS certified gas lift and PU castors that run quietly across floor types. EN 12520 certification is a recognised European test for seating strength and stability. The 5-year warranty includes free replacement gas lifts, which is sensible since the lift is often the first part to wear on a heavily used chair.
Fit, seat and lumbar
Seat height runs from 47 to 56 cm, and Melokea suggests users between 1.6 and 2.05 m. The seat combines high-density foam with breathable mesh in a flat, thick design that allows different sitting positions. The listing does not state seat width or depth.
Lumbar support is dynamic: it adapts automatically to your lower-back curve and movement. Melokea notes it can rotate downward by 30 degrees but not upward, a useful detail to understand before you sit.
Arms, recline and headrest
The 2026 version strengthens the 3D armrests, which Melokea says are 30 percent stronger. They move 7 cm in height, 5 cm forward and back, and rotate 30 degrees. A weight-sensing base sets tilt tension automatically, with locks at 90, 110 and 122 degrees. The 2D headrest lifts 5 cm and pivots 60 degrees. Assembly tools and a manual are included, and the chair weighs about 19 kg.
Alternatives for heavier users
The CAPOT mesh chair is rated to 181 kg and offers 8-level manual lumbar and flip-up 4D arms, but states no warranty. The BASETBL C051B also carries 200 kg with a 60 cm wide seat. The Flexispot Big Max Pro reaches 227 kg with a double steel frame. The Melokea stands out for its standards certification and gas lift cover.
Verdict
Choose the Melokea ReliefBack Max if you are a big or tall user wanting a certified, mesh chair with a long warranty. If you need a very wide seat, the BASETBL C051B is worth comparing, and if you prefer manual lumbar control with flip-up arms, the CAPOT mesh chair is the alternative.
