Is the back supportive?

Not really, no. I think the idea is for you to sit more or less bolt upright. It takes a little getting used to. I would not recommend tossing your old chair right away because you might need to alternate at first.

No it is not supportive, that is the whole point of the chair. The chair is to aid in strengthening your core muscles and sitting up staight, so that you are not slouching in a chair and looking for back support. I agree completely with C. Berg, that is will take a week or two to get used to and build those muscles. But once you do, you will very rarely ever touch the back.

Yes the back is supportive. But there is an issue as in my previous review. The ball is made of rubber. Once you sit on it you will be sweating if it's a hot weather like right now (July). The best use of the chair is from fall to spring or temperature up to 73, 74 degrees.

No the back support doe not go back. The whole seat moves up and down is all.

Yes, there is support but it really depends on how high the back of your tub is.

yes it is. especially if you just have sitting on a flat base. It is not a rock as the padding gives nicely. I like it and would buy another one. my back in the morning feels good and not stiff and there is give for body posture. It is not a board. so I give 4 out of 5 stars for price and comfort

totally not...it is actually very comfortable as you can bend back...like a ricking chair kind of way...

No, the back side appear to be braces for strength. This is a great ladder best one we have ever owned. It is well built.

The back seems fairly supportive. I lean back on it...but not with all my body weight. I sit normally and am comfortable. As for the stability of the chair...the hooks are best. But... I have used it without the hooks to try it out. The bottom is rubberized so it stays fairly stationary. If you are a wiggle worm you might end up on the floor. If you sit normally you should be comfortable and stay put!

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.

I find it to be very sturdy. It does not lean back as an office chair would but it is not meant to. Its purpose is to provide support for your back which it does very well. One of the best purchases I have ever made for my drumming and bad back.

Firm mattresses best support backs and, sleeping on the mattress, I found the mattress to be supportive.

The back is really supportive, can lean for comfort and not feel like it will snap, tear or break. Have not been in a situation yet where we did not have a place to hook the bottom of the chair so can't answer that.

I also have a bad back and need support, you won't be disappointed in this item. The cushions are comfortable, but you don't melt into it and sink, having a hard time getting up. The backrest if soft yet angled nearly 90deg., I hate couches that lean back too far. I would rate this a 9 out of 10 on back support/comfort.

Yes, Not a problem. No back rest, but the cushion on the bench is quite comfortable.

Yes the back support is removable, I agree with the reviews about the cushioning, however that is easily solved with some elastic and a small pillow

Back support is ok. You don't feel that fluffy cushiony feeling, but it is comfortable.

Yes...It is great ..my chiropractor recommended that I get something to support my legs while at my desk. It has been great for my back.
