Would *experienced users* recommend this as a firm support for your back while sitting up, watching tv or reading in bed?

I think for a short period of time like a couple of hours it would be supportive.

Not I - they're very, very good for use as pillows but lack the stronger support you would need as a back support. I've seen, at Pottery Barn, I believe, some very nice, up-scale 'study-buddies' that I think would work better for your needs.

I have purchased 4 pillows, over the last year....All are in good shape, verses other pillows I have purchased.

I have thought of using it for that but I don't want to squish it and have it lose it's shape. I have the BedLounge Classic that you can buy on this website. I use that to sit up in bed and read.

Hello Akasya. The table is excellent to support the laptop and keep it high level when you need to read something but I think is tall in case you need to type on it because you have to extend your arms for long time causing pain over your shoulder. I don't think it would be good for your back. I hope I could help you with my comments . Regards. Raquel Martínez -

I have, but it's kind of heavy for me. I'll usually lay in bed, position it on my lower back and press against the bed. It works much better when you have help.

Hi NormaYes you can use this in bed, and you can also use it in a seat as a lumbar support.

I wouldn´t say it provides firm support. It makes the top layer softer. If your mattress is too hard on top this product will make it softer. The firmness depends on the rest of the support (your mattress).

This product is designed to raise your head in bed...check their web site for details. To read whilst in bed, you need a back rest. Hope this helps!

I can't make any promises, Patricia. In the case of my own mattress it didn't appear to be sagging, but I could feel it when I would lay down on it. If your side is sunk in as you say, this memory foam topper may not give you all the support that you need. It might make it somewhat better, but then again it might not provide all the improvement that you need. You might be better off applying the cost of the topper towards a new mattress.

Hi Jan, if you are looking for a device specifically for ab work, this won't be good for you. This inversion table is more important if you are looking to stretch your spine. Mostly designed for releif in back pains. Hope this would answer your question.Amos

It's comfortable in a supportive way...it's firm, not mushy...you will not sink into it...the chaise portion is nice for sitting with your legs up while reading a good book :) good luck!

Can't say for sure not knowing all your circumstances. Putting it into my own perspective I would say a resounding YES! I had a fairly comfortable firm mattress, but still wasn't sleeping well. There's no doubt that a quality memory foam will provide the support and comfort needed to keep you from tossing and turning and provide support and provide a feeling of security when you get into bed. I bought the mattress to help provide pain relief to bad knees and to help stop constant tossing and turning. This mattress solved both of those for me.

I have both products. I tried this yesterday with the Back Magic. It does give good support while using the Back Magic, the problem is that to get a good stretch with the Back Magic I usually remove head support, making this useless for me.I would recommend using the devices separately because this product is recommended for at least 10-15 minutes and the Back Magic for 5.

The back seems fairly supportive. I lean back on it...but not with all my body weight. I sit normally and am comfortable. As for the stability of the chair...the hooks are best. But... I have used it without the hooks to try it out. The bottom is rubberized so it stays fairly stationary. If you are a wiggle worm you might end up on the floor. If you sit normally you should be comfortable and stay put!

Laying flat would be uncomfortable for me. LOVE using it on my desk and sitting on sofa. Use it in bed but use pillows to raise my hard a bit.

Yes, it is comfortable to lean on. I still put a pillow behind me though when I sit in bed to read.

No I would not because the mattress is too soft.. It causes mine as well as my husband back to hurt. .If you are having back problems you should consider purchasing a firmer mattress. .

I don't think it's very comfortable, but if your idea of comfort is being well-supported, then it is that. I bought it mainly for the design and to have an extra chair that would contrast the gushy cushions of the other furniture in the room.

I don't feel I'm qualified to answer that question since I purchased mine for use as part of my physical therapy regiment for a broken back. It is rather firm, but how it will fit your space you want to fill...I don't know.
