Is it worth the price? Brookestone has a similar one but it costs 90 dollars. I need to know if I should get this for my boyfriend who has back pain.

Its very nice, not worth $90. I first looked at it in a retail location and thought it too high.

I like it, the high back gives me better head/neck support. If you need more support, the back cushions fit nicely in it. I have a bad back so this means a lot to me.

It's worth the money. Especially since my work really imburses $100 for home equipment. As a medium sized middle age woman it's perfect for my workouts. A strong man may need something more robust.

On days that my back has been particularly achy, I have turned the entire chair around and used the back as an armrest. I don't know if this is a recommended use or not. At the time I received mine, no recommended exercises were included. I received mine as a gift about 10 years ago and it is still in use and shows no sign of "wearing out" I LOVE IT. If it ever pops or falls apart, I'll order another!

I haven't bought this chair yet. I have severe back issues, I am usually in my bedroom by 4 or 5 in the afternoon. I would love to enjoy my downstairs a lot more, I would love to have a softer chair to relax in and enjoy my family/ Any opinions will be appreciated and taken into cosideraton

I have it now and I wish I bought a different one I only bought it because it was cheaper then others but I recommend to buy a good one if it cost more it's probably well worth it . Not firm or as thick as it first was.

It is great. Notice the pic. It has a built in lumbar Support that is adjustable.

Hello Tami B. I would not recommend this particular product. It does not cover a wide range of support or comfort for an athlete with an injured shoulder. The reason is because the material will dig into your shoulder/armpit area. Not comfy. There are posture correction products available that provide wider coverageand comfort which I believe would be most beneficial to you. The price range may be from $14.95 to over $100.00. You may want to look into the magnetic back and shoulder support or something similar to it. Hope you find this info helpful.

I would say it depends on how you feel physically. I had back surgery about 12 years ago and recently bought the Teeter Hangups, and it made dealing with pain a whole lot easier. I wish I had bought it a long time ago. I don't take pain killers or see the chiropractor since I started inverting. If you can try one before buying that would pretty much answer your question. I Love mines.

I don't have that problem so I couldn't tell you on that. But it does give me relief to my lower back. You can always try one at stores that have them displayed or a friend that has one. But I would check with your Dr before you do it to be sure it is ok with your back problem

I have the pain reliever. Took a look at the pictures and don't see any difference between those two units. The unit works well for lower back pain. I also have an incline table , which by the way will decompress the whole spine, and find that I actually use the latter more than the nubax unit. However, if you don't have space the nubax unit takes less room. I do find the nubax unit difficult to get our of - the incline table is a bit scary until you get use to it. The trick is to not incline too much too fast. My chiropractor recommends the incline table and told me to start at a 5% incline and gradually increase it. Hope this helps I have the pain reliever.

D. Rein, I am debating purchasing one of these. I've really gotten into workout dvds and I'm tracking my calories without much success on my scale. I am hoping one of these can help me adjust my workout/eating to reach my goals. Which do you think would be better for me? I work a desk job so most of my day is sedentary. I'm also continuously tired and am excited to have something that tracks my sleep. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I think it was a very good purchase. As far as the back being too low, I think that would depend on your body type. For me it is just fine.I think it is also a very good value money-wise.

I have really bad lower back pain also - this particular mattress is VERY firm - for me personally a little too firm and not enough cushion for my hips (side sleeper) and shoulder so we just ordered and got yesterday a 3in mattress topper with a 4lb density which seemed to really help - my husband loves the firm mattress and had no complaints. If this is too firm you might look at the 14 inch from innovations - apparently that one is a bit softer.

I love it. I mostly bought it for my back because it's so sore. It helps a lot with lower back pain. As for "curve enhancing" I couldn't tell ya as I am already curvy.

At the time I bought my Back Magic, it was the brand recommended to me, and the only one I have tried.I see now there are several others that appear to be similar, but I can't honestly tell you whether they are identical, or of the same quality. They may well be, but I have continued to recommend the Back Magic, and so far, everyone has loved it.I wish I could be of more help, but I will say that if for any reason I had to purchase a new one, I would buy the same one again.

It has been good for my back problem so far. I'm 81 yrs old and for these ole bones it's a great relief. Feels so good after I do my 3 minutes several times a day. It's not a cure but sure beats anything else I've tried.
