How is the back support on it? Is this bad for your back in the long run?

We just use it for trips and guests. It is firm. I slept on it several times and did not have any problems the next day with my back. I don't use it every night either, though.

I prefer a firm mattress and as long as this is used on a floor either carpeted or not; I personally find it very comfortable and wake up every single time thinking I am in my bed. When first squeezed with your hands you would not think it is firm however the floor and weight distribution surprisingly ends up very stable and comfortable. Hope that helps!

not at all. if you want more cushion go for a wider shikibuton it has 4 inches of thickness

Firm mattresses best support backs and, sleeping on the mattress, I found the mattress to be supportive.

I weigh 285 and it seems to handle me just fine. The chair does tip forward when I have it fully reclined and lean forward to grab something. This is not a problem though if you put the chair back in the upright position. I am happy with the chair and would buy it again so far. I did not look to see what the chair was made out of but it seems solid and my backrest is still tight. If you are concerned, get the 5 year, everything covered, insurance upon purchase. Then if it falls apart on you, file the insurance claim and they will fix or replace it.

I have used it at concerts and picnics for long periods of time, and it has held it's form and provided fantastic back support. I highly recommend it.

I broke my back in the mid 90s and I would say this recliner would only be good enough if you use it in the far back position. Not one I would recommend with a bad back.

Yes, I was recently using it on a bench without hooking it on. Once I sat on it, it still supported my back.

The only viable way I can answer that is that it is a very comfortable seat. Not saying it is good for back problems, but if your going to ride anyway and you have a bad back, I'd use this over the stock seats any day.

Not a good idea for a bad back. Shocks are not comfortable and it needs some regular hard working maintenance. Good luck.

Dear Chris, it is extremely smooth on the back. I myself, have heavyweight items attached so I needed to screw it in. Good luck, have a great and blessed day!

It is good but you may need a firmer one if your spine needs ALL the support as possible.

The back support is decent if you're just sitting, not great if you're more active though. The chair takes up some space when stowed. I personally wouldn't want to tuck it into a corner of the living room because it's not compact enough but you might have more space than I do. I don't see it as a "daily use" kind of thing. Great for dragging to the park once every couple of weeks but not great for dragging around daily.

The back is really supportive, can lean for comfort and not feel like it will snap, tear or break.Have not been in a situation yet where we did not have a place to hook the bottom of the chair so can't answer that.

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!

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.

It is very comfortable on either back, or side. I move around quite a bit, and its still supportive.

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.

I realize this is a very late reply to your query, but I thought I'd answer anyway. I sometimes take several months to make a decision about a major purchase. This is super sturdy and doesn't feel bouncy or like you are leaning forward. It feels really good, very solid. it is very comfortable. I am out of shape and needed to start exercising, and my use of this is increasing over time -- I am up to 3x a week.

it fit in our frame just fine. As far as support I have a bad back, it took a little while to get used to it but now it has helped by back a great deal.
