Is the backrest "rigid"/"firm" or when you bend your back, does the backrest also bend (i.e., is the backrest flexible)?

When you're sitting in the chair and lean back the back of the chair feels firm. There is a very slight "give", MAYBE about 1/2 inch or so, just enough to where it's comfortable and not to where you feel like you're leaning against a concrete wall. It's not super wobbly or anything like that.

No it doesnt lean back. But its comfortable and sturdy so far :) hope this helps :)

It's rather firm, and has great back support. It does conform to your body, but you won't sink. If you prefer a very soft mattress - than this is not for you.

Compared to what i owed previously, this has the right firmness for me. My back no longer aches. If yoy need something more firm, this may not be for you. I will say that it doesn't spring back like it did when i first purchased it, but still no more back pain. You may have to look at another product. This may not work for you.

The part that sticks out the back Is for support. The frame is an acute angled "L". The seat cushion part flops around but the frame is rigid.

Hello R. Grimmett,I checked and the back rest of the chair does not lean forward or backward. It is stable. The entire chair moves up and down and spins around, but otherwise the parts do not move separately. You can lean back in the chair, but the back is connected to a sturdy frame and is not lose and flimsy.

When you lie on it its quite firm. But as it has springs when you sit on it it might seem to be softer as all your weight is at one point.

Yes it doesn't let you lean all the way down, like a bed. It only goes part way, but I find it comfortable for my lower back problem.

It is firm but not hard. I have back issues and was not uncomfortable at all. I am totally pleased with it overall.

The seat actually tilts. The seat and the backrest are fixed in relation to each other. When you lean back, the backrest goes back and the seat part tilts up to stay with it.

This is a great FIRM back rest. I have had it for several years, use it daily, push it around, pull it and it is still firm. I have back problems and I am so grateful that I purchased it. Get it, you'll enjoy it. MMC

Nope. The back is fixed to the seat with a metal bar. There's no flexibility there. The seat doesn't tilt on the base, either.

This one was pretty rigid. It is not thick so it does have a little bend, however depending on the curvature of the door - I would search for a product from that door MFG.

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

We just use it for trips and guests. It is firm. I slept on it several times and did not have any problems the next day with my back. I don't use it every night either, though.

It's quite stiff, which is good for supporting the back. It does work with a recliner, but it takes some getting used to...I have even slept with it in the recliner. As to material, it seems to be a stiff plastic core covered with a kind of lightly-padded foam.

Not very. I'm having major low-back problems when I wake up. I'm looking for a way to make it feel firmer or else I'll have to find a firmer one. Good luck!
