Is the back tall enough for you to rest your head against? Or will your head hang off if you tilt back?

I'm not sure how far you need it to tilt down, but I can tell you that it can be moved up or down on the velcro strap that goes around the head rest. Hope this information helps. Good luck!

It will tilt. Though gravity works on it to the point where its best to let it hang, or at least have it hang downward at some angle.

If you're sitting up straight it won't support your neck. I'm 5'4" and when I sit up straight, the bed pillow hits at my shoulder blades. If I'm lounging back, rather than sitting up straight, my head will rest comfortably against the pillow.

I weigh 345. The tilt tension is adjustable, setting how much pressure for the tilt back when I recline. It is firm and comfortable. If you have the tilt locked in the upright position it will not pop loose and tilt back which has been an issue for me with cheap chairs. Once tilted back and reclined it's very sturdy. I recline back that way and fall asleep in this thing way too often! You cannot loose with this chair.

Hi. The chair does tilt back from the base but the back does not recline. All in all this chair is not great, but is ok for $70 bucks or so.

I'm 5'11" and if I push my body back my head back about 4" inches will show. More importantly, this chair does NOT have a tilt feature so my head never touches the back of headrest. All in all, happy with chair.

It tilts about 30 degrees when secured at any height. I noticed that some answers are contrary to this, but mine tilts within this range and maintains the position.

I am 5'10" and the top of the back hits the bottom of my shoulder blades when sitting upright in chair, therefore you would have to slouch a great deal to rest your head on the back. My kids, same height as myself have used it with a footstool to slouch and lie their heads on top of the back of the chair.

Hi, I own one of these. It is very sturdy and well built. It has 2 or 3 stops which limit how much it can tilt back based on your preference. It can go very vertical. The nice thing is that you control how quickly you tilt backwards and when you come back/right yourself it turns into a seat so it doesn't injure your back. Hope this helps.

No, the back does not tilt by its' self. The seat and back do tilt back together.

I am a couple hairs over 5'10, and I think that the chair offers great support for me. The chair back does lay nicely behind my head with a little room to spare (for his extra height over me?). The chair back gets thinner toward the top, farther from the primary cushioned back, so my head ends up positioned a little farther back than what I prefer. The chair is still very comfortable for me without any added pillows or anything, though. I hope this helps.

In my opinion, the answer to your question is "No". If I try to tilt it, the feet at the front just raise. But, I will say it is a wonderfully comfortable chair and that was not important to me. Good luck deciding..........bfr

According to the picture in the Amazon webpage - you know, the one with dimensions marked on it (hint hint) the seat back is 28.7 inches high from seat to top. :)I'm 6'2", and "long-wasted." When I sit up straight and lean my head back, my eyes end up looking at the ceiling. Good for a change of perspective, and to de-stress the neck, but probably not what you meant. Interestingly, though, if I just flip the switch and recline the seat back a bit, my head rests on the back perfectly!The best of both worlds, or a deal-breaker? You decide...

The back is 25 inches high on the inside (seat to top of cushion). I am of average height and when I lay back, my head can rest on the back cushion.

Not really, just a tiny bit. Like if you were to just stretch and go back it's got a little tilt. I haven't tried testing it because I don't want to fall on my ass or break it lmao!
