It's 27 inches from the bottom to the top. Keep in mind that when you sit down, the seat cushion will squish down some so it's probably more like 271/2 - 28.

My Chair is in storage right now, but I want to say it's about 28 inches high it is high enough for some one like you that would have either MD or some type of back problem I am very happy with mine I have Fibromyalgia myself and also struggle with getting up from a chair not with this one, I've had people with back probglems that have actually tried mine and have bought one cause they like the height of it, you don't sit low on this kind of chair it's something that is very easy to get in and out off.

This is a great chair! I can rest my head but if you are really tall, it may not be high enough. I have a lot of people that have sat in this chair and all love it!

From the point where the back joins the seat, it's 27 1/2-inches to the top of the back. If you're looking for a head rest, this isn't it. I thought it looked as if my head would be able to use the head rest, but it can't, so now I'm back to my old chair and this one is in the living room waiting for my son to pick up and use it.

It is 15 inches from the floor to the top of the seat. Just to let you know that it really isn't very comfortable. The back is very upright, so when you sit in it, you will be sitting straight up. The size is great for my handicapped daughter, because it is a smaller rocker, but she doesn't use it unfortunately. It is upstairs in our bedroom, now just an extra piece of furniture.

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.

It all depends on your height. I am 6 feet and while sitting upright the top of the chair's back reaches the upper part of my neck.

About 12 inches the chair is low and I was not happy that it was so slow but I put a nice cushion and if gives me more height . I was going to return it but must say I'm so glad I didn't its such a awesome chair in every other way and sooo comfortable.

Not entirely sure I understand your question- but the chair is very low to the ground. You feel almost like your sitting on the floor. The rockers are only three or so inches high. So all together your maybe a foot off the ground- a foot being the distance from butt to ground. Maybe a bit less. The chair swoops up a bit from your butt to your legs and it is tipped back- it's very comfortable and doesn't actually feel like your on the floor but in terms of actual distance between you and the floor it is very low down. Hope that helps!

When not occupied, the front lip of the seat of my chair is about 18" down to the floor. The chair is a rocker. When rocked forward, the front lip of the seat is about 13" from the floor. Hope this info is of use.

My husband is 5'9" and he enjoys the chair. When he leans back in the chair, the high back supports his head and back. There isn't a head rest when he is sitting straight up (e.g., while typing) but that isn't an issue for him.

right at 22" / 23"it comes up my back but not behind my head ..... so it is hard to lay your head back .... however it is a great chair ... hope this helps you decide

I am 6'1". When I sat in it, the pillow was at a height where it came behind my neck, kind of like a neck roll pillow. If I would scoot down a little on the chair I could rest my head on it. Hope this helps. MC.

The seat cushion is 4.5 inches. I was able to raise the seat (from base to the top of the seat) to 30.5 inches.The throne height adjustment is comprised of a wing nut and bolt..which is reinforced with a drum key tightening lock to keep the throne in place at your desired height without shaking.I purchased this throne about 4 months ago and am very happy. I usually play cover gigs which include about 4 sets of music. My back has never felt better.Hope this helps

Is very comfortable. I placed a thin cushion in the seat but have nothing on the back except frog decals. I think the shape of the chair prevents you from hitting pressure points on your back while rocking.

Well I am 5' 4" and It's definitely not a head resting chair for me. If I sit in the chair the top of the chair hits just above my bra line, so without taking measurements, I'm guessing it would not be ahead resting chair for you either. The chair is gorgeous and one of my favorites in this house, but I wouldn't use it to rest in.

The back will only recline on this chair when the foot rest is out. Otherwise you cannot push it back. It does rock (front to back like a rocking chair) when the feet are not up.
