whats the deal with leaning back in the chair? is it possible? does the lumbar thing jab your back to impose the 90 degree angle?

No, it tits as you do, however, I do not love this chair...it's just not that comfortable for long sits.

Does NOT support a true right angle. If you read the description it states "near vertical". There is a slight decline - you will not notice if you are doing seated shoulder laterals or bicep curls BUT if you do any sort of shoulder presses you will notice that you are leaning back every so slightly. It is a tough piece of equipment but if you want a try 90 degree angle this bench is not it.

Yes, I am 5' 10" and my chair just barely goes as low as I'd like. First there is a lever that raises and lowers the seat. Second, how low it goes depends in part on weight, as the spring is keeping it at a certain height. I have the spring set to maximum compressibility, so the chair goes as low as possible under my weight, which gets me just to the 90 degree angle.

Theorectically you could use the stick on your neck and back. You would position the valley on either side to stradle the vertebre. I've never tried it but now that you mention it, I will give it a go tonight. My first thought was it would be darn uncomfortable but I won't know until I try. Great question.

If you are sitting in the chair, reach down to the right and pull the locking tilt control arm straight out to your right then lean back. It's either straight up and down or all the way back. There does not seem to be any setting in between.

The knob in front under chair adjusts the tension of the lean. the lever on the side that adjusts height also allows for tilt if you pull it out to the right. it leans pretty far, but u may have to loosen the knob to get the tension where u need it for easy recline. .

Yes you can lean back. The jets should be effective except where they might be blocked by the back of the chair.

Hello, According to the manufacturer, push the lever inward so the chair will not lean back. If you need anything else, please let us know. Thank you.

If you say the chair is at 90 degrees in the picture, it reclines back another 45 degrees (Just about half way to being completely parallel to the ground. Hope that helps!!!

No... maybe the chair was changed at some point, but my chair is static and the seat back is actually angled slightly forward. Very uncomfortable! imo

The lumbar curve on the back of the chair itself is fixed. But the chair back itself can be raised and lowered to adjust the lumbar position.

Not really. The back angle is adjustable, but the lumbar area is not adjustable separately from the rest of the back.

The back is rigid. I don't know to answer the other question. It would depend on the chair. My experience with it continues to be the best I have ever tried.

Yes, I think so. I usually rest my weight on it with my elbow and head. Haha. I have a back condition so leaning is something I do very often and it has been very stable for me. Hope it works as well for you.

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.

It does lean back. But if you're near the weight limit of the chair and actually use it as a full time business chair it starts failing around the 10 month mark. I just got a warranty extension because the seat part deflated and metal spikes came out of the front of the chair.

Yes, you can put it on your back and lean back against the chair you are sitting in, or you can lay on it also.
