350 lb
A pocket-size handle that slots into the U-shaped door striker on your car's door frame, giving you a solid, low handhold to push up from when you stand. The Amazon listing rates it to 350 lb, and it hides a seat belt cutter and window breaker in the grip.

350 lb

In: Car Entry Aids for Fat People: Handles, Straps & Swivel Seats
250 lb
A padded handle on an adjustable strap that buckles around the window frame of the door, so you get a higher handhold to pull up on. It doesn't need a door striker, but the listing rates it to 250 lb, so treat it as a steadying aid, not a lift.
In: Best SUVs and Trucks for Fat People and Big & Tall Drivers
A bundle of the HandyBar and a cushion that rotates 360 degrees, so you can sit down sideways, pivot your legs in as one unit and push out against the handle on the way back. Good for stiff knees and hips, as long as your seat has room for the extra height.
21.75 x 18 x 2.5 in

17.5 x 15.75 x 1.25 in

15.75 x 9.25 x 2.5 in
A 15.75 x 9.25-inch grid lumbar cushion with a built-in strap and buckle that Purple says fits most car, office and gaming seats. It fills the gap between a flat car seatback and your lower back on long drives.
The aftermarket option to consider only if your automaker's dealer can't supply an extender. You shop by make and model rather than a 'universal' fit, and the company says its extenders are tested to the European ECE R16 standard with E4/E8 marking. It does not claim U.S. FMVSS 209 certification.

1,000 lb (static)
A UV-stabilized resin folding chair with a 1,000 lb static rating. Huge capacity, but only 17.5 inches wide overall, so it solves strength, not width.

In: Best Heavy-Duty Toilet Seats for Fat People (400–1,200 lb)
A slim, non-electric bidet that slides under your existing seat, with separate front and rear nozzles. A wash can be easier than reaching to wipe, and an attachment doesn't change the seat you already trust to hold you.
A non-electric attachment that can give you warm water by tapping the hot line under your bathroom sink, with rear and gentler front wash modes and a self-cleaning nozzle. Warm water makes a bidet much more pleasant day to day.
A full replacement seat with the bidet built in - no outlet needed. It's a cleaner-looking option than an attachment, but Brondell doesn't publish a weight rating, so it's best for people comfortably within a standard seat's range.
A full-featured electric seat: endless warm water, heated seat, warm-air dryer and two-user remote presets, which can make cleanup much easier if reach is limited. Brondell doesn't publish a weight capacity, so heavier users should ask Brondell before buying.
TOTO's entry-level WASHLET adds warm-water washing, a heated seat and a soft-close lid from a trusted toilet brand. TOTO does not publish a user weight limit for it, and its manual warns against strong force on the seat.
A handheld sprayer lets you aim the water yourself, which can work better than a fixed nozzle when reach or positioning is tricky. The nearly 4-foot hose gives you room to maneuver.
A simple 15-inch wiping wand from the company behind the Big John seat, made with larger bodies and limited reach in mind. Wrap tissue on the head, wipe, then press the handle to drop the paper.
A long-running, patented wiping aid with a soft, flexible head that holds toilet paper or a flushable wipe, and a button that pushes the used tissue off so you never touch it.
hose 80 in
