Can you use this lying down or does it have to be in a chair?

I have not used it lying down and would not want to try it. My guess would be that the articulations could not function with body weight over it - at least for very long. IT IS WELL MADE. I bought it for my mom 2 or 3 years ago and it gets used every night by at least her and one other person in the family. It was a very appreciated gift.

I am not sure if it can be used in a laying down position, my brother always had it upright in his semi. He got a new semi that has a built in freezer/fridge. The Coleman Powerchill that I got for him worked fine for about 1 years then quite.

NO!!! You cannot lay down on any of these types of massagers. I sent my compression unit back because I couldn't use it in my chair. It was way too bulky and very uncomfortable. I have tried these models in stores but they are all set up in straight back chairs and feel great. I am going to try another model before I give up.

You need to recline to be comfortable. It is not meant to be used in the upright position.

You don't have to stand on it. I sit on a chair when I use it, and anyone I have ever had try it does the same.

You can use it, but it will rest on your lap. The legs won't reach your chair. It works well that way, though.

I read the instructions and the only thing it said was that you should not lay on it if you were unconscious or sleeping. I've laid back in my chair with mine behind me on my lower back and I do fine, so as long as you're not sleeping, I guess it's okay to lay on it.

You are sitting upright. The other responses that say you can recline are false, you can only slouch in this thing if you want a different angle. It's not an office chair, it's an outdoor swing.

Yes. Just reach back and move it into the position you want. No need to get out of the chair.

Good day.. I actually bought this item for a friend so i did not get a chance to give it the all round test but i called the person i bought it for and they told me yes you can lie down with it and it is very comfortable.... I hope that info helped?

Can't say I've ever tried doing that with my HoMedics Massager, but I think it probably can be done. I don't believe there's anything that forces the back of the chair to stay in an upright position, so you could probably lay it flat and turn it on while laying in a hospital bed.

I put mine on my couch recliner. It's possible to use pillows and such if you want to lay down on it.It would be good for the message, but not for long periods.

Yes you can lay down, but your bottom will be much lower that your knees and you have th option to use the back rest adjuster bar to go slightly vertical, but I do not think that is what you want.

I have always used it sitting up. I would think it works best that way, but honestly I don't know about lying down with it. I do think you have to be sortof careful not to overinflate it, as you can easily put too much pressure on your cervical spine.

You would use a traditional pillow. The "headrest" is designed to facilitate seating not sleeping.

I think so, but don't know that for sure. Have not used it that way. Do you mean lay it down, then a person lay on their back on top of it? or the other way: a person on their stomach ? I think it is best used sitting in a chair.

if you are sitting in a chair you will not need to move the mat from the spot where you are usually standing in. put one in both places. Under the desk for feet comfort and where you stand at the desk.
