is this too heavy for someone with a bad back?

Should be fine for anyone , less work than the hose dragging a canister vacuum behind your .

It is not rock solid. I lay on my side and it is fine but I only weigh 140 lbs not sure if that helps or not.

I also have a bad back, which is why I bought this chair. I'm not sure how severe your situation is, but I found that the chair is durable enough for the price and has different degrees of incline which you can manually adjust the back to. All in all I think this chair is a good option for back pain.

This bench is beautiful. I think it would be all right for someone very heavy. I put a bench pad on it to make it more comfortable.

I only weigh 190 lbs. and I sank deep into it. I would say 'no' to support. It's more of a plush snugly sleep.

Absolutely. It is very comfortable. I'm not a small person either. I have never had a sore back or side from sleeping on this pad.

I think it would be too heavy for you. It's a little heavy for me and I'm 6 ft and 200 lbs.

Not really. Although I'd recommend it for someone definitely under 200 lbs. I'm 140 lbs and its pretty amazing to me.

I'm over 200lbs and have done the action of (lay on my back full weight) and have had no problems! This is a repeated action as i have had surgery on my back! A very good product!

No, it's really too soft for someone with back pain. Memory Foam is a great way to go, but this mattress is VERY soft, and causes you to sink in too far to be supportive. The 8 inch is not quite as mushy, while plenty soft enough.

Honestly I sleep comfortably on this nightly. But I think it really depends on who you are. I don't move much and I am 128 lbs and 5"7' I think if you were taller or heavier it would be uncomfortable for you it doesn't support a lot of weight and it is very wide and long either

I have, but it's kind of heavy for me. I'll usually lay in bed, position it on my lower back and press against the bed. It works much better when you have help.

Absolutely not. I think it is misrepresented. There is no back support whatsoever.

It is true that the seat is quite uncomfortable. I use a folded towel and a small cushion to GREATLY improve the seat comfort. Whether or not this bike will be acceptable for a person with back problems is always an individual decision. I have had 2 spinal surgeries and this bike causes absolutely no discomfort for me... but again, that is "for me". Once I figured out how to make the seat comfortable I have not noticed the bike causing any strain or pressure on the back at all. Hope the info is helpful for you.

Its heavy, so it depends on if you are back packing or not. It would definitely be more comfortable!

If you are a back sleeper it might be enough. I'm a side sleeper with a really firm mattress. I'm around 140lbs and it's not enough softness for me. My hips still hurt. It compresses a lot and is only about an inch thick to start with.

Well, it's five-ply laminated maple, so it is quite strong. I don't think it would break with a heavy person, but it will certainly flatten out a little under extreme weight. Also, it's a bit high for most people, so if you're not experienced at doing back bends, you might want to cut it down some, or get a lower one, like the Sae Arc. I don't know if they have these on Amazon, but you will find them on ebay. FYI: I am an advanced bodywork for over 30 years. Feel free to write to me anytime with your questions. Ben.
