Can anyone tell me what the most upright position is for the back? Can you set it to 90 degree? Thank you much.

The manufacturer makes no mention of the degree of each sitting position, just that it has 6.

Yes! I can be set several different positions, including a straight up 90 degrees.It is one purchase we take with us most everywhere we go!

Yes, it will sit straight up. It's very comfortable. If you are using it on bleachers, it will take a bit of room, so beware of that. I am ok with this, because I like my personal space. I love mine.

Yes, it can. This seat is very comfortable and durable. I have used it for over 2 years and it is still like new. Enjoy!

The back adjusts fine. I have no problems with it at all . It is very comfortable for me. Remember everyone is different.

In the back of the bench there is a lever that lets you place it at the angle you want. It is very easy to use and comfortable.Hope it helped you.

The chair does not lay flat. The full recline is about 130 degrees. However between the upright position to that position it can be stopped at any point.

In terms of back seats, it would depend on the configuration of the seats and the headrest. It does adjust from left to right. I don't think you can turn it 90 degrees, but you can adjust it.

The chair is very firm. It is good for my back. I would have preferred the seat to be softer, but it is ok. It is important to have your hips and knees at a 90 degree angle to relieve stress on the back.

So so in upright position. In reclining position back is quite comfortable, but legs need to constantly be moved. Also need to remove and replace pillow or head hurts.

Back Jacks all have only one angle--about 10 degrees leaning back. That being said, you can adjust the way you sit and/or use our cushion or any cushion. We know there are some knock-offs going around and we even checked one out a few years ago. The "adjustable angle" mechanism we saw definitely appeared to be susceptible to rust and/or other mechanical problems--so we stayed away from it. Regards,BodyMindWisdom

You need to adjust the position of where the weight hangs. It should be hanging down from your back to around your lower back area. If set up properly, you will unconsciously keep you back straight to have the weight hang rather than press up against your back if you were to slouch. At least that's the way how its worked for me.P.S. You shouldn't sit against a back rest if you are wearing the Body Rite, because the weight will press against the back rest and cause more pain than good. Only use when sitting on a backless stool, standing or walking.

The back lays back to 3 different angles. One almost straight up and down. One 45 degrees and the third flat. There is no foot rest that pops out.

In a low-backed chair I hold onto both handles, lean forward slightly after turning the machine on, bring it over my head and place it where I need the pressure. Usually I have the large part of the motor housing facing downwards. The best is when lying down on your bed and adjusting the pressure on your neck and shoulders by putting a pillow under your shoulders to put you body higher than the Massager. If I want more pressure, I just get a thinner pillow or folded bath towel. Sometimes I reverse the position of the machine 180 degrees depending on what part of my spine needs pressure. But, as you noticed, it is heavy and clumsy. I would have designed it with the orbiting "fingers" off-set higher than the motor housing to get better contact with my trapezoid muscles by my neck and shoulders. All things considered, even though it's not perfect, it is better than the other gadgets I found.

The picture indicates upright position. It will recline back like a recliner. Very comfortable. My favorite piece of lounge furniture.

Agree with C. Hunt. You shouldn't use the wall to support your body while upside down (definitely will cause your spine to be curved backward, not a pretty sight). Head stand is a balance pose which should be done with your spine in straight line from crown of head to pelvis, while engaging your entire body especially the core.

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.

The legs adjust to any angle out to 90 degrees the back rest adjusts to accommodate most models from 7" to 10" but there are little notches that hold the back rest in place. It is very versatile.

Are you asking how to put it in a reclining position? Start with it completely flattened, and as you lift the back, there are several position levels, from most reclined to 90 degree position. If you want to go back to a more reclined position, you push the back forward from the 90 degree level, and then pull it backward to its flattened state and start over.

I personally am too short to make the chair lean back, my feet barely touch the floor. However, my husband did figure out that it has a slight recline if you just lean back. Not sure exactly how much of a recline but, I would estimate somewhere around 5-10 degrees back from upright
