How high is the back from the seat? I want to know if I can put my head back in it. Most chairs are too low for me to lean my head back.

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.

I didn't measure it, but it was too high for me (5'8) and my husband (5'10) ... Pushed our chins to our chests same as airplane seats do.

More than enough height to rest you head. I'm 5'8" and my husband is 5'11". Very nice chair.

The seat back is high enough to put your head back. It's a really comfortable chair as it also reclines.

This chair is for tall people. My husband is 6'1 and the head rest fits him. The chair is also real wide and great to have grandkids in your lap. It also adjusts real easy and is very sturdy.

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.

May not be best for long sitting. Seat is deep, I'm 6'2 so sitting well back in the seat works for me. Back is very upright.

You just lean back with a little bit more pressure than you would leaning against it normally, and it moves the way it should. The back goes back while the front of the seat comes up a bit too (very comfy for putting your feet on your desk if you feel like it). There is also a lever on the side that will lock that function, preventing you from being able to lean back in the chair.

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.

It is 17 inches from the floor. I am short (5'2"), so I like to lift the seat up, but on this model I cannot do that, so I feel like I am sitting too low for my work area. Also the back leans back too much, so it is always in my way, because I have a small area. Thanks for asking.

It allows me to bend my neck back and rest my occipital bone on the top of the chair back but does not support the entire back of my head. I'm 5'4" and have a small torso so keep that in mind.

I love this chair and think it's very comfortable. I'm 5'1" so it hits about in the middle of my shoulders - but I would think if someone was very tall, it might not have enough back support.

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.

Unfortunately it does not offer head support. The backs are not that tall but the chairs are very comfortable.

I measured 20 1/2 inches from seat to top of chair back. For me the top of back ends just below my shoulders so there is no head rest.

No the back is not high enough to be a head rest even though you are 5 foot tall the chair sit low but it's a really cute accent the chair is not a lounger.

The seat is just a few inches off the ground. The back is still long enough to lean back in. I'm 6 ft and can lounge comfortably. However my knees are above my butt, when sitting with my legs bent. Getting up can be a pain.

My late husband used this chair in the shower. He was 6'2", with much of the height in his torso. Since it is still at my house, I verified the dimensions for you. Height of back from seat= 13 "leave off back? I inspected the chair to respond to this question. From my observations, it looks like you can leave off the back. (I did not try to do so, but it does not look hard. I MIGHT be wrong,m but I do not think so.) Hope this answers your questions and I wish you the best of luck!

Marlene, You can lean back on it like a regular chair but I dont use it too much because I am working on my posture.

Hi - I'm at the opposite end of the scale @ 5'2". There's NO WAY you could sit on your behind on this chair. The angle of the seat is not adjustable. It's a great chair, but at your height, you'd be almost vertical. Or your feet would be under & behind the chair. Sorry, but keep looking!

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
