Things I've broken / destroyed:
- barstool in my own kitchen
- dining room chair at my soon-to-be in-laws
- pool float
- Adirondack chair at a VRBO
- numerous toilet seats
- shower chair
- mechanism in the passenger seat of my old car
- a hotel mattress
- a conference room chair
- 2 restaurant chairs
- 2 scales
- a grocery store mobility scooter
At this size, where I go is very much determined by the seating available, since some of this destruction happened publicly.

How do you break a mattress - do you mean a bed frame?
This was a spring mattress, and I hadn't even slept on it yet. I was sitting on the side attempting to dress for a wedding, and I was struggling a bit, so I was kind of trying to "wiggle" my way into my dress. I both heard two noises and felt something give way. There was a distinct sag in the side of the mattress itself that never fluffed back up. I slept on the opposite side that night without incident, and I never had any issues with the hotel trying to bill me for it. I'm still not sure what exactly happened to it though.
I do know of one obese person who had a hospital stay and was placed in a regular bed instead of a bariatric one. His weight crushed whatever mechanisms help the bed redistribute pressure and left it with a sunken area. They had to switch it out for one that could support him.
