How firm is this backrest? Does it provide enough support for reading/writing comfortably?

We have had them for a while and read comfortably each night, so I would say yes.

I slouch when I use it so it gives me plenty of support. My husband uses his laptop in bed & says he needs more support for his head.

I find it reasonably firm. Definitely less firm than a box spring on a wooden slab (did that for a semester; don't recommend it), but probably firmer than your average mattress.

It is pretty firm. I was surprised, but it does give some, so is comfortable.

it is firm but soft to give your neck proper support.....does hold your head from falling back. Take the chance and buy it. THEY ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE IN AIRPORTS AND STORES!!!

Yes, it's very firm. It's not very deep though, so probably not the best for day-to-day seating.

It is very sturdy if that's what you're wondering. The cushion is firm so it doesn't sink down a lot but it's still very comfortable.

In my opinion, the chair is well padded but quite firm. It's not mushy or softy. I have two, one for my desk and one for sewing. If you are looking for plush, you may want to keep looking.

No, it is firm and barely gives when you lean back on it. It is even firmer than most sofa cushions. Perfect as a sofa bolster but not as a pillow.

I think it is rather firm. I also noticed that after sitting on it, it would spring back up like a tempurpedic mattress

It is pretty firm, but the fabric is really soft. The back cushions are also really soft. I am assuming that the cushions will break down a bit over time, but we gave only had it for a month, so it is hard to tell.

This is a hard one to answer not knowing what kind of back support you use when reading in bed. I sit up pretty straight in bed reading and it does extend my reading time a little without my neck starting to ache. Overall I like the pillow and use it most of the time so give it a try.

It's not firm enough IMO. It stretches when you do some yoga poses on it so you have to be careful. It is soft and provides a good cushion.

I've had it for just over three months, and the seating is firm. I sleep on it a lot as well, so I've made a slight dent near the one corner ( I guess I have a fat head). I'd put it at about a 4 or 4.5 so far. I really like it.

This is a firm mattress. I think you will be fine on it. It is very good support and springs back as you move.

Yes it is. It has become my favorite spot to read and fall asleep. It has to be in full recline otherwise you'll slide right off.

Hi this pillow is not rock hard but I do find it has moderate support when sitting on the couch. It is a beautiful pillow I have two actually.

It is firm but not hard. I have back issues and was not uncomfortable at all. I am totally pleased with it overall.
