My Husband is 6 feet tall and afraid that his head will not be supported by the back. Can anyone tell me if this is a "higher back" chair? Thanks!

My son is 6'4" and has reclined in this chair. I am very pleased with this chair but it is difficult to "kick" footrest back from reclining position for me.

Love my chairs but if your over 5'10' your feet are going to hang over the end of the chair. Height of back of chair is perfect for everyones size. Pillow is ajustable up and down. Very comfortable chair ended up buying two. At camp my little sister said she knows why the call them gravity chair. I asked why? and she replied because everytime I get up someone else gravits to my chair to relax in. Hope this helps

My husband is 6'4". The chair is perfect for him. Of course, his feet hang off the footrest, but as far as the back of the chair hitting his neck and back, it is just right.

My husband has, which is as tall as you...it supports your neck in the back. It is its own support system. If you get my drift..it holds your neck up and cushioned all the way around. I hope this helps

The chair is great for the low back, that's part of the reason I got it. It has an adjustable strap to provide custom support to the low back. As far as your height and weight, I do not know. I am 5'6" and 130 lbs.

I have two of these chairs. On mine the back can be adjusted up so at the highest the top of the seat back is 28.5-inches above the seat. For me that hits at the top of my neck/base of my head.

My husband is 6' and his head hits about the curve at the top, but it depends on if your husbands length comes from his torso or his legs. My husband loves the chairs. When he lays it back the chair gives about 4-5" more in length so he really enjoys it and can sleep in it.

I am 5'3" and I measured only 4" from where my head hits the back to the top of the chair. I would think someone 6'2" 's head would tower over the top of the back of the chair. It is an awesome chair and I have no regrets buying. Hope this helps you ;-)

Yes but your expectations for "back as far upright as possible" and "front tilted down" may or may not be met. Guessing that with the seat tilted down as far as possible the back is still less than a 90 degree "as far upright as possible" position however it's comfortable and does keep the pressure off the back of legs if that's what you are looking for. My disappointment with this chair is the lack of height...anyone over about 5'6" may not find this chair's max height adequate.

It is right around 20". I'm 5'6" and had concerns chair would be too high. Also, weird triangular seat...would it be comfortable? Height was ideal for me, and also a 6' friend! And everyone agreed that the chair was surprisingly comfortable...even the backrest!Give it a try...I'm very pleased with my chair! (No, I don't work for Primos!)

Mrs H I sat in a friend's chair and absolutely loved it. Nice high back support, headrest, and can leave your legs out or have your knees bent. I found it very comfortable for the 15 minutes I was in it. I have to say that I'm 6'7" . I'm getting one ASAP.

Most definitely, very comfortable. The tall backing is perfect for someone 6' to 6'3" maybe even taller if you don't mind the bottom of your cranium resting on top of the chair.

I am 5' 7" and my husband in 6' 3" and since our son has been born I believe he is in it more than me...LOL Unless you are a very tall and heavy person it should fit very comfortably. I still say it was worth every penny especially since most stores wanted anywhere from $300.00 plus for the same style of chair. Also the pillow is an added benefit....very comfortable on my back after giving birth.

I'm 5' 8" and no I have to use a small pillow to support my head and another one in the seat or the back hits me in an awkward position in my lower back. The difference in height may make a difference, I think the chair may be designed for a smaller person.

right at 22" / 23"it comes up my back but not behind my head ..... so it is hard to lay your head back .... however it is a great chair ... hope this helps you decide

I sort of agree with all the other posts here from Nov 2013. I'm approx 5'6 and have the backrest adjusted for the lumbar fairly low that fits my comfort. When I tilt my head back it rests on the top of the plastic rim/edge of the backrest. So this is not a head support that is comfortable. If I raise the backrest a little higher (giving up optimum lumbar for MY body), then I have a little more of the backrest to use for my head. If a headrest is a major criteria for your purchase, you could raise the backrest higher up to have more to rest on. If ultimate lumbar and headrest are a criteria, then I would look for a chair with a taller backrest or a headrest attachment. I sort of agree with all the other posts here from Nov 2013.

Well I am 5' 4" and It's definitely not a head resting chair for me. If I sit in the chair the top of the chair hits just above my bra line, so without taking measurements, I'm guessing it would not be ahead resting chair for you either. The chair is gorgeous and one of my favorites in this house, but I wouldn't use it to rest in.
