Stealth Standard vs. Stealth Pro: How to Know Which One Fits You
Share
Of all the questions we get about picking the right chair, this is the most common — and the good news is it has one clean answer. Deciding between the Stealth Standard and the Stealth Pro doesn't require a quiz or guesswork. It comes down to two numbers you already know: your height and your weight.
Quick take
- 6'0" or taller, or 200 lbs or heavier? Stealth Pro.
- Under 6'0" and under 200 lbs? Stealth Standard.
- Right on the edge of either line? Always size up to the Pro.
- Every Stealth chair is rated for 400 lbs — the Pro is about fit and room, not strength.
The Sizing Rule
The Standard and the Pro share the same ZenWave forward-lean technology, the same Free-Float backrest, and the same 5-year warranty. What separates them is the size of the seat and frame. The Pro's larger seat gives a taller user the depth their legs need, and gives a heavier user more width and a broader base to settle into over a long session.
That's why the rule uses both measurements:
- Stealth Pro if you're 6'0" or taller, or 200 lbs or heavier. Either one is enough.
- Stealth Standard if you're under 6'0" and under 200 lbs.
- Close to either line? Size up to the Pro. A seat with a little extra room is comfortable; a seat that's slightly too small is something you feel every hour.
| Example | Your chair | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 5'9", 170 lbs | Standard | Under both lines |
| 6'2", 175 lbs | Pro | Over the height line |
| 5'8", 230 lbs | Pro | Over the weight line |
| 5'11", 190 lbs | Pro | Close to both lines — size up |
Standard vs. Pro, Side by Side
| Stealth Standard | Stealth Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Under 6'0" and under 200 lbs | 6'0"+ or 200 lbs+ |
| Seat size | 18.5" x 16.75" | 20.25" x 19.5" |
| Height range | 19"–28" | 22"–32" |
| Chair weight | 57 lbs | 59 lbs |
| Weight capacity | 400 lbs | 400 lbs |
| Piston heights included | 2 (Studio/Desk + Touring/Standing-desk) | 2 (Studio/Desk + Touring/Standing-desk) |
| Starting price | $599 | $749 |
Both chairs hold 400 lbs. The Pro isn't the "stronger" chair — it's the roomier one. If you're tall, heavy, or close to either line, that extra room is what you want under you for an eight-hour session.
What's Actually Different Between Them
- Seat size: the Pro's 20.25" x 19.5" seat is deeper and wider than the Standard's 18.5" x 16.75" — more depth for longer legs, more width for a larger frame.
- Height range: the Standard's 19"–28" range suits shorter-to-average leg lengths. The Pro's 22"–32" range extends further for taller users at both included piston heights.
- Chair weight: at 59 lbs versus the Standard's 57 lbs, the Pro is built slightly heavier to match its larger frame and seat shell.
- Casters: the Pro and Pro Executive also include 4" TourMax casters for stages and rough floors, in addition to the standard casters.
What doesn't change is capacity: every Stealth chair is rated for 400 lbs.

Shop Stealth Standard — $599 Shop Stealth Pro — $749What About the Executive Versions?
Both sizes are also available with a larger, executive-style backrest: the Stealth Standard Executive ($649) and the Stealth Pro Executive ($799). The sizing rule works exactly the same way — Standard Executive if you're under 6'0" and under 200 lbs, Pro Executive if you're 6'0"+ or 200 lbs+. Choosing Executive is about backrest style and coverage, not a change to which size fits you.
The Bottom Line
Check two numbers. If you're 6'0" or taller, or 200 lbs or heavier, get the Pro. If you're under both, get the Standard. And if you're close to either line, size up — you'll never regret the extra room. From there, the only remaining choice is whether you want the standard or executive backrest.
