I am 5'6" and I wonder if the back of the chair will support my neck if I am leaning back? Side view of chair seems like the top back leans in?????

I am a little over 5'5 n 1/2" the chairs highest point rests right where in that pit where my neck goes into my skull. About 99.97% perfect. Would be perfect if I were 1/2" taller. But also to note I have short legs and seem to sit taller than my wife who is 5'6" my wife has long legs. Chair is comfortable for both but more so for me.

I'm 5'8. If you are sitting in the chair with proper posture, it will support your lower back enough to where you can sit completely straight very comfortably. If you lean back to where the top of your back is touching the chair, it still doesn't touch your neck. You would have to lean your head back in order for the chair to support your neck; it looks as though the top of the chair leans forward, but when you are sitting in it it won't support your neck unless you tilt your neck back. Kind of like a car seat.

I'm 5'6 as well and it doesn't seem like its made for someone our height. The chair curves in where it should bow out to support your lower back and so the headrest pushing your head forward.

I'm 5'8" and find it very comfortable. It's ability to flex/lean may be why it seems to accommodate so many different people. I needed to take a break after the first 3-4 hours using it because I felt tired, but I haven't gone back to the office chair since that first day.I don't know if there is a way to raise or lower it. That's a good question for the seller.

I'm 5'7" and when I sit in the chair straight, the back hits my shoulder blades. I have the back up all of the way. I don't have any way to measure.

I am just shy of 6' with a long torso, but everyone is built differently. For me, the top of the headrest when I'm leaning back in the chair comes to just below the top of my head. It's padded and quite comfortable. At 6' you should be able to recline and relax comfortably on this chair - your head won't flop over the back. :)

I would say you probably would want something a little taller in back. My wife and I are both under 5'9" so it is fine for us. Very nice chair. Hope this helps.

I'm 5'5" and the top edge of the back of the chair hits the top of my shoulders. No way would it be considered a high back chair, in my opinion. In other words, you can't rest your head back on it. Not sure of the measurements. Sorry - have a broken ankle and it's too hard to get to the tape measure and the chair right now.

The back rest does not sit really high but you can lean onto it. I am 5'7" so it worked for me

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.

I don't think this would be a comfortable chair for someone of your stature. My adopted son is 6'5. When he sits in it, he puts his knees at an angle with his feet on the floor. He says it strains his lower back. Maybe you should purchase the other one, it's more expensive but it has the pedestal base which raises it off the floor. It's a great chair! We are very pleased with the comfort and sound quality. The other bonus is that it folds up and can be stored if needed. Good luck!

I think the seat is slanted too much for my hight. I'm 6'2". I did, just now, adjust the arm at the base of the seat to it's lowest point, this helps some. I will try this position to see if I can reduce the pressure on my shins and, try to find a position best suited for my posture/hight. Thanks for your input. I'll get back asap.

The chair back is 28 to 28.5 inches. I am 5'10", and it fits me very well. However, I could see someone who is taller having a problem.

I'm 6'0" and the chair is even with my neck/head. The chair is really comfortable as well. THe only issue I had which it might have been isolated to me was the screw on the right side was hard to get in b/c it was aligned. It took me a while but I finally got it lined up. I know you just asked about the measurements but I just wanted to give additional info about it. Hope this helps you out.

I am 5'10" and it is very comfortable for me to lay my head back. I would say it would hold someone up to 6'2" relatively comfortably. However weight wise I wouldn't recommend for much over 200lbs. When my husband sits in it is squeaks under his weight. He is about 6'2", 220. I very much recommend this chair.

No! I am in the midst of moving and just sold my bed so I am currently using this as a bed... I am 5'6 and my feet hang off. That is largely due to the fact that your head cannot rest where the back of the chair is b/c part of the edge of the chair digs into your ribs. Sorry to disappoint!!

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.

It leans back slightly. I have a pillow on it to support my back when I sit in it. It is a little "tippy" if you try to sit on the front edge. It is a nice chair but not for heavy use.

I am 5'9" and my wife is 5'5". For both of us, when we lean our head back and rock, our head is resting on the aluminum part of the chair that runs along the top. It is comfortable. The chairs are not really lounge chairs though. You are still in a relatively upright position when rocking.
