Furniture Designed for Plus Sized People
As the obesity rate rises (the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that more than a third of adults in the U.S. are obese), companies are looking to capitalize on this growing group of consumers. While plus size clothing is commonplace--Target, Forever 21 and TopShop launched trendy plus size clothing lines already this year--less attention has been paid to the way overweight and obese people live in their homes. Last week BrylaneHome began selling a line of furniture and home accessories called "Plus+ Size Living" which includes oversized bath towels and chairs that hold up to 800 lbs. Give your opinion on the new line in the poll and see more of the products in the gallery.
