can an adult use this for a back rest?

I do not think that it would be strong enough...it would depend on the adult and issues...if for stability...using the chest strap, I would think not... If simply for comfort, it might work???

I know that it's not recommended for adults, but I believe that it is strong enough.

Yes, we tried it, but it would rock back and forth as you move unless you pinned it down somehow. It would give back support, the back rest is only 12" high so would not be like a chair back, but would help you stay upright. Funny that the answer before said it wouldn't be comfortable because I was going to say it would be comfortable.

My husband uses it during side sleep. While it can be used for someone on their back, it's not ideal. So the answer is yes, with limitations.

You would not be comfortable. These are pretty small. It could support the weight but the back would seem almost non-existent it is so low.

Yes, I think so. as both previous answers are great, and you might add a thin cushion behind your back. I'm also 5'3" and and use it 4 positions back.

The backrest is more to stop you from rolling over. I use it occasionally to stretch back.

I am an adult, and I use it every day. It just needs to lean against a wall, bed headboard, etc.

Can't help you too much there. I sleep on my back and place it under my neck for support. It can be easily molded into any shape, so don't see why not.

Have not slept on the mattress myself, but it is not very firm. Might not be suitable for someone with a back issue in my opinion.

No, it won't work. Not big enough, and I doubt its strong enough to hold an adult's weight. Its a foot rest more than a standing stool.

Yes. Don't expect comfort though. The seat and back are pretty stiff. I use a throw pillow on my back if I expect to sit for more than a minute.

totally not...it is actually very comfortable as you can bend back...like a ricking chair kind of way...

I've sat at it, I think an adult could use this just fine. My 13 year old loves it.

Yes, I believe it would. I bought it to use as a seat cushion for my sofa. (Wooden frame that was suppose to have 3 cushions for the seat and 3 cushions for the back, but I had none for the seat). So it may be slightly too narrow for an adult used to a standard single width bed (which I believe is somewhere around 40 inches). I would make sure the width is ok for you before you buy or use 2 for each person. The foam is very firm and does not seem crush or collapse under body weight. Hope this helps.

It is really short on both. You will need to add throw pillows to sit an average height adult. It barely hits mid back. Keep looking.

Absolutely. I've had full grown adults sit on it. We have one that we use as a bench.
