How comfortable is it to use the backrest? Do you feel you are leaning back awkwardly/precariously?

The backrest is more to stop you from rolling over. I use it occasionally to stretch back.

The back rest is good, I don't feel uncomfortable leaning back at all. It gives me a little break from keeping my posture super straight.

Seems reasonably stable and am not leaning back awkwardly at all, don't feel unstable anymore than a normal office chair.

I LOVE this chair.... I have one in both of my offices. I do not use the backrest. I only use it to move the chair while standing. I sit up straight and come no where near the backrest. I have leaned back, but I prefer sitting up on the middle of the ball.

No, Lauren you don't feel awkward. It is all fully adjustable which is what sold me! The back rest is padded and just kinda supports the curve of your back. If it doesn't hit in the right spot you can move it up and down. It isn't to lean against though. I was surprised at how comfortable it was to sit in. Hope that helps!

I find the backrest a plus on this chair. The adjustable design allows it to fit my lower back perfectly for firm support when needed. Being a ball chair, I do not always lean against the back but it is sturdy and comfortable when I do so. Hope this helps. It is the round firm shape and adjustability that makes it fit right into lower back area for support. Not all back rests are created equal... for me, this one is great. This is best ball chair I have ever used. Hope this helps you.

Yes. It's a little awkward at first, but I've had no issues in terms of comfort.

This chair was a gift for my daughter-in-law. I did sit in it and it is very comfortable. It's hard to comment on the support for someone else, especially with a bad back. It is more comfortable then others of the same style. The back did not seem stiff, but softer. Hope this helps!

Seat padding is fine. Back support leans back a bit and I find myself unconsciously tilting my head forward. 8 hours, perhaps?

Not the most comfortable to sit on... It seems my rear is somewhat larger than the cushion but I have used it in a pinch and it was fine.

Not very. I'm having major low-back problems when I wake up. I'm looking for a way to make it feel firmer or else I'll have to find a firmer one. Good luck!

It is true that the seat is quite uncomfortable. I use a folded towel and a small cushion to GREATLY improve the seat comfort. Whether or not this bike will be acceptable for a person with back problems is always an individual decision. I have had 2 spinal surgeries and this bike causes absolutely no discomfort for me... but again, that is "for me". Once I figured out how to make the seat comfortable I have not noticed the bike causing any strain or pressure on the back at all. Hope the info is helpful for you.

First, I love these chairs. They are awesome and look great in my kitchen. Occasionally, I will sit back and have never noticed any discomfort. My back touches the top bar. Most times, especially when eating, you are leaning forward or sitting upright, so I don't think it is a real issue. The padding on the chair was more of a concern for me and these are wonderfully padded chairs. They are very comfortable. I hope this answers your question.

I brought my pillow up to the computer to try it out. It definitely supports my back, though it feels different than in the car because of the way it hugs your body and the shape of the car seat is different than computer chair.I think it is worth a try.

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

The chair is comfortable and firm. The back height adjustment does not stay in place, so the back is always at it's lowest position. If this is ok, it is very comfortable. All the other positons such as tilt and seat height have locks to keep them from moving or "bleeding" position, but it is strange that the back does not and is the one position that really needs to be locked in place.

I find that it is more comfortable with a pillow behind my back. It is hard and does not have any intentions that would make it more comfortable. It's not uncomfortable, just basic. Hope this helps

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.

That's a hard question. Everyone is different. The seat is a firm cushion but I find it comfortable but you might not. If you want a soft cushion then this isn't the chair for you.

Hi there,It's actually comfortable for short periods. I'm using it for my dining table and I have two of them. For a quick meal or short duration, I like them. You can't really lean back in it, though. Therefore, as an accent chair or lightly used seating, it's good. Hope this helps.

not uncomfortable at all. I sleep on my back and it's like I'm not wearing a mask at all!
