I put some colorful cushions on it and I sit on it in the evenings. I have had a lot of people want one like it.

Yes it is comfortable. I am only 5 ft tall and I think 'fits' me well. It sits in the corner of my bedroom and is great for rocking the baby or reading a book. It may look odd in a living room next to bigger furniture pieces. It is a small chair with a low back. I am happy with it. It feels plenty sturdy.

Yes, you can listen to music while reading a book or browsing - hope that helps!

Yes, it is very comfortable. It is easily adjustable. I have a small head and it works great for me while reading in bed and not disturbing my husband.

Not really. The chair lays back quite a bit. When I read from my iPad I have to use a pillow to prop it us so I can see it better.

Yes you can. It is really nice to read the books on it too!! Though I still like the Kindle because it is smaller and lighter!!

No, it's pretty comfortable. I haven't sat on it for an extended period of time, but it's nice.

I have certainly strapped it on and gotten a reading while sitting at rest at my desk.This is a generally recommended use, i.e. obtaining a resting heart reading, even for atheletes.You may need to moisten the contact pads or use an electrolyte gel product to get reliable readings.

Sorry for the late reply, I didn't realize you asked another question. That is exactly why my wife bought it! Very versatile, and yes, it is very comfortable to sit on. My kids sit through entire T.V. shows on it. They lay on it and use the arm as a head rest when they are on their Kindle's. My kids obviously love it. My wife and I have both sat on it for at least an hour. My kids fit three accross and 2 large adults can sit side by side comfortably. We used it at Christmas and was a big hit. Surprisingly comfortable for a lid, well cushioned and well made. it even makes a nice foot rest when nobody is sitting on it! Of course all of this is moot if you already purchased. Either way, enjoy and good luck.

Yes - I do use this to read at night. My Kindle may have spoiled me, as regular books appear "just plain dark" and I find I no longer like limiting myself to "that one chair near the lamp". If I want to read on the couch or on the porch or wherever, the light isn't good enough and the head lamp makes reading in those places practical. Yes the light is comfortable enough to wear while reading, and the variable light settings allow you to pick how much additional light you need.

Yes, very much so. The swivel/rocker is an especially nice place to sit, read, etc.

No, it is comfortable. I would suggest the wider chair. My next purchase will be one that is wider.

My 9-year-old granddaughter just told me again this weekend how much she loves hers and that she sits in it every night to read, she says it's very comfortable. Her 6-year-old brother thinks it is, too, so I would say yes!

Yes, it is definitely comfortable to sit in for long periods of time. I have had no issues of back pain or soreness, and my husband has the same report. He even stated he has fallen asleep, very recently, while sitting in the chair.

No. -and IMO it is certainly not comfortable for hours of reclining even with an accompanying ottoman. This is a fairly rigid chair best used as a decoration that is occasionally used by guests to visit for an hour or less. (I use two of them and 2 ottomans to round out my library room opposite a love seat... little use except for guests, but very classy looking.

Yes - the shape makes it more comfortable than you might think. I sit in it a few hours at a time when working on my computer with no problems. It comes with a thin seat cushion that makes it more comfortable.

That's kind of dependent on what you like. It's basically like reading with a large hardback book. If you don't mind holding a hardback book, then it's fine. I hardly use the stand and don't mind reading without it. I read in the car with no stand, at appointments, in bed, etc.
