Can anyone around 6'6" tell me how comfortable the back and seat are? Also how long does the seat foam last for?

Yes, as for the height and the seat lasting and feeling more comfortable your best bet is to get the Comfort Products Commodore II Executive Big and Tall Chair - Black --this is also found on Amazon and if you have not already ordered the Alera please DO NOT order this one and DO ORDER for the Commodore---is much more suitable for taller people and I think is better for the money.

The flat part (behind the front curve) is about 18-19". I am 5' 2" and it is comfortable for me. And, every other person who has sat in it noted how comfortable it is. I have a 19" square cushion on it and it works perfectly.

Hi - I am 6'3" and have 5 herniated disks. This chair is very comfortable for me. My legs hang off it a little, but I would certainly recommend it. Definitely wide enough...

Very comfortable. Im 6'2 and I love this chair. The speakers are more or less garbage though.

I have no idea how tall the back is, but unless you are a person of extreme height, then it's fine. My husband is 6 feet, and it is not too short for him. I love this chair. Comfy, and a great cost.

I am 6'3 and weigh over 300 lbs. I have used this chair daily for over 6 months now, and have not had any issues. I really like this chair and find it very comfortable.

I am 5' 11" and I am comfortable on it. over 6 ft might be a stretch but not really sure. It is really fun to ride though.

All I really can tell you is that I am 6' 6" tall and weigh 250; and after 1 year, this chair has held up and is by far the most comfortable chair I have owned I am 55 and have owned dozens of chairs and they all break down within at least by now! I dI'd get this thru office.Com on sale. Do not remember what I paid though

My husband is 6' and he finds it very comfortable. Personally, I fall asleep in it!

Yes! I find it great for us tall men. I'm 6'"2 and this is a roomy chair. The cushion after having it for more than 5 months is still good and supports me while I game for hours without discomfort.

I'm 6 ft, 205 lbs, and yes the chair is very comfortable. The coil helps, BUT the main thing to consider is that most manufacturer's use "lower end" foams,{softer} when they build cushions, they want it to be soft when someone first sits in it. After a peroid of time the foam will fail, crush, {makes you feel like you are sitting on a board}. Then you can take it to a "quality" upholstery shop and get them to replace the foam with a better quality, more dense foam. That will last you forever. I have not changed the foam on this chair yet , but have done it to others. {Maybe just repair the foam in your old chair if you like it.................. mike

I don't think it would be super comfortable for a tall person, but I love it (I'm 5'4"), and my kids think it's awesome. So I'd give it a B for comfort. It can be irritating how the cushion slides around. The material is very durable but not super attractive, but the frame is very sturdy so as far as "holding up well" I'd give it an A!

I am right at 6 ft. tall and I find it comfortable. I use it to play Xbox and have never felt like it should be longer. For me putting my feet on the bottom bar bends the legs slightly but if you want to straighten your legs it isn't bad either.

I am 5' 8" and let's just say I am about what you weigh. Being that you have a few inches height on me you might find it more comfortable than I have. The back pushes you forward some and I find myself "fighting" with it. In all honesty when I have to replace this chair I will not be buying another like it. I need a straight back situation but this is too forward. I hope this helped.

I am 5'11" and 260lbs and I find it very comfortable, no back issues. The chair has a more strait up right posture, not reclined and I prefer that. Also the head rest hits me in the back of the neck and is not as tall as it appears. One side note and the main reason I purchased this chair is that it is double walled with sone kind of filling between the layers. I do a fair amount of cold weather camping and the air barrier created keeps your back warm.

Very comfortable. My kids love them, I make sure to fluff it up before i sit on it, it great especially if you have a foot rest. It actually looks just the the picture. So to answer the question, it would feel good on a bad back but I'd recommend a foot rest for a taller adult.

Love my chairs but if your over 5'10' your feet are going to hang over the end of the chair. Height of back of chair is perfect for everyones size. Pillow is ajustable up and down. Very comfortable chair ended up buying two. At camp my little sister said she knows why the call them gravity chair. I asked why? and she replied because everytime I get up someone else gravits to my chair to relax in. Hope this helps
