I have a sofa with very low arms. Can this pillow stay upright on its own or does it need to lean against something?

Read you question again. It will stay upright if you are not using it but needs a back support if you want back support when sitting down. Sit it in the middle of the floor by it's self it want fall over. Sorry miss reading the question

I had pillows behind the pillow chair and that worked very well. Not sure how it would be without some type of back support. I hope this helps.

The pillow does have firm support. But it must be used up against the headboard of the bed or on a sofa. It cannot be used free-standing.It is very easy to move from place to place.

It's pretty heavy. I wouldn't recommend try to stand it up on its side. It sits on top of a base and is not secured to the base, rather the machine holds the base in place with its weight. That could be a long process. If you don't used the base ever, then I guess you could prop it up along the sofa. But it still is heavy.

When I lay on this pillow on my back, the back of my head touches it and the back/top of my shoulders touch the bottom edge. It's too firm to allow it to also shape to my neck so my neck has no support the way I like. You can "scrunch" at it to make it better but that only works if you're awake so I often wake with a bit of a stiff neck with this pillow. I save it for support when laying on the sofa or in bed when I read or watch television.

That depends on how much of your body/head you lean against it. If you lie down and rest your shoulders and head against it, it sits up fine.

Sorry LBJ, It's just a pillow. Though one side of the handle is shallower than the other, making your device sit down lower or higher...but I think that they mean it will ROLL to any angle. There is no support suspension built in or anything. If your sitting up, or at a table, use the deep side of the handle. Laying down, use the shallow side. That's about it.

I would not describe the sofa as firm. In fact the back pillows have an issue with being squashed it down as you sit on the sofa. I also cannot say that this sofa is supportive. I would describe it as soft and comfy.

I do not believe this is rigid enough to stand alone, it's basically a pillow after all.

I don't lie flat so tried this to see if the PadPillow would work. I am not heavy, so have no stigma to rest it on, but I put a small pillow underneath at the back to prop it forward, and it worked fine. I may try this position for myself.

No, it's either upright or bed position. With that being said I'm impressed withthe quality of the build. It is very good for maintaining proper posture, but if you want to relax you'll want some throw pillows. I paid $420 and feel it was quite a bargain. Hope that helps!

You must remain upright. The chair even came with a warning not to lean back in it.

it's a sturdy lounge probably won't be the most comfortable position so I would not recommend ...... arm rest and pillow doesn't give

My son never uses this in a the sofa position, but he says with his type of mattress, it probably would slip/overhang the bottom some, with nothing to stop it. He uses the thicker/firmer type futon mattress.... In the flat position, we give it 5*'s though.... nice and solid!!

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.

You have to lift the back up a couple of times until it locks into place. It took me a minute to figure it out. Just lift the back and jiggle it a little and it should lock in the sofa position. It folds down the same way, I hope that helps.

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.
