Is the backrest "rigid"/"firm" or when you bend your back, does the backrest also bend (i.e., is the backrest flexible)?

When you're sitting in the chair and lean back the back of the chair feels firm. There is a very slight "give", MAYBE about 1/2 inch or so, just enough to where it's comfortable and not to where you feel like you're leaning against a concrete wall. It's not super wobbly or anything like that.

It can be set to completely upright or to lean back. I prefer the straight backed chair, so I have it completely upright. There is lumbar support, which I need for my lower back and it is ideal.

No! This is one of my biggest regrets. It does not lean back at all... Very stiff. And no butt cushion! It hurts my but after just 3 hours sitting in it. I had to buy a pillow for it. Would not recommend.

Yes, the backrest is reversible. It's sturdy, very easy to set up, and it's very useful for my 78 year old mother. Good luck.

The chair rocks. It is not a stiff upright chair. I can rock back if I choose but it does not recline. The ability to rock back alleviates the pressure on the back always being in one stiff position.

When you lie on it its quite firm. But as it has springs when you sit on it it might seem to be softer as all your weight is at one point.

It's rather firm, and has great back support. It does conform to your body, but you won't sink. If you prefer a very soft mattress - than this is not for you.

Yes, I do consider it firm. I've owned mine for a few months now and it's as firm as the day I got it. It is still comfortable and helps fill the space between my back and my leather chair where I needed added support.

The chair is very firm. It is good for my back. I would have preferred the seat to be softer, but it is ok. It is important to have your hips and knees at a 90 degree angle to relieve stress on the back.

I would say yes it is firm. The problem for me was that it was too thick. Pushed me too far forward. My upper back then was not supported. It felt great on an easy chair at home. Not good in my truck.

When you sit on the edge, it feels as if it will be soft, but as soon as you lie down, it's nice and firm, yet still gentle on the spine. I absolutely love it, and I'm a senior who has had back problems all her life!

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

Do you mean "rigid"? It is rigid, not flexible. I love it and am so happy that I purchased this. I have so much more peace of mind, not to mention the reduction of heat on my legs.

The back is very rigid but not straight up and it has a moderate lean to the back. My wife loves it but has made comments about the back not conforming to her spine.

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 have 2 twin box springs and a Tempurpedic gel mattress sitting on mine and it's sturdy. I've never had an issue with bending/warping or even feeling it move at all. It's a great buy

Hello, thank you for contacting us with your inquiry. The back rest is adjustable (up-down) not front-back. This is a firm seat made out of foam material, not gel. As for the horn, I think the photo is a bit deceiving in that it looks more pronounced than it really is. I have not heard any negative feedback on that feature and once on the seat, it does not add pressure, however, it will be a matter of personal comfort.
