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.

I find the chair comfortable. I have sat in it for 4 to 6 hours at a time, and have had no problems. Keep in mind I have no back problems or any other issues. I am sure there is a more comfortable chair out there, but you will probably pay a lot more for it. This is good comfort for a good price in my opinion.

I didn't like the backrest as the contour didn't fit my body properly. It did fit my son, so I gave the unit to him. I am 5'3" and he is almost 6'. IDK if that helps, but it just was uncomfortable for me.

Personally, I find that 5+ hours is alright, but much after 6 1/2, 7 hours, you feel like you want to lay down. It's no LayZBoy, but it's far better than most chairs I've tried (it looks cool too). But it you try to sit down for long without a shirt and pants (I don't, home is where the pants aren't) then the fabric is not terribly comfortable.

The chair is very comfortable and we'll worth it for the price. I have not measured it but don't see an issue with a tight back.

I sit on my lift-seat for several hours each day and don't find it terribly uncomfortable. It is not as comfortable as my recliner. I think it would be difficult to use a cushion as it would be hard to keep it in place due to the angle of the lift-seat.

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.

Yes, it is comfy in the middle. I've sat with my laptop before. I have a canine assistant, and she's too big to fit on the loveseat with me, but your assistants may fit better :-) I've also napped on it - it's in my office at work. I love it.

I do feel a slightly stiff area, close or almost over lower stitch area of backrest. Seems there is an area right below and above stitch that does not have adequate amt of cushioning material. But I don't have issues with that. It would be a good idea if you place something soft, thin, with some cushioning in that area of your back so you don't feel it.

Hi Heather - it is really comfortable, and doesn't dig in. I have a bit of a butt and the seat is wide at the back and narrow at the front - so its perfect. And its cushy as well! Sometimes I find myself slipping forward though that could just be my riding style!

Yes it is. It can help support your back if you have trouble maintaining the posture without support. But I would like to add that when i sit on this chair, I can feel the metal frame to some degree through the cushioning and this takes away from the comfort it provides. It is not painful or anything... but rather a hindrance for sitting on it for a long periods of time.

We think it is very comfortable! Both my husband and I use it at our home office. It is good lumbar support for me.

Hey there. For me, the lumbar support is good, and I'm a big guy! Hard to judge personal preferences when it comes to comfort though. Great value for the price. Hope this helpsWest

The back adjusts fine. I have no problems with it at all . It is very comfortable for me. Remember everyone is different.

No, it is not a comfortable chair. It is easier for my husband to get in and out of but as far as comfort I would not reccomend.

Well, after having the loveseat in my house now for almost a year, I have to say, it's not comfortable. I am planning to donate mine to the local library and buy something else. It is certainly durable, but it makes my legs go to sleep, and there is no lower back support. My thought is, take your $310, add a little more, and buy something else. Thanks!

not so much rock as allow you to lean back and recline a little. I find it feels stiff so you feel safe reclining but I also find myself periodically catching myself from falling (although i will not) i guess it happens on most reclining chairs.
