Do you have to be lying down? Has anyone used it in a recliner or adjustable bed? I can't lie flat easily.

I have used it two ways, One was laying down on it horizontally while in bed for about 1 hour.The 2nd way way to place it on my computer chair and sit back against it. The mat is very durable and not stiff so I do not think a recliner or adjustable bed will change anything as long as your back gets exposed as much as it can to most of the pressure points.

I don't see why you couldn't use it on a recliner or an adjustable bed. it's a flexible mat and wouldn't be damaged by that type of manipulation. Probably the only problem you'd run into is either not hitting the pressure pints evenly or possibly hitting some with too much pressure. That's my guess--I've not tried it.

No, you don't have to be lying down. I sometimes use it in the car, and my mom uses it when she watches TV

I always use it the floor because i fgured that its important to have a flat surface so that the plastic spikes can really push in and stimulate circulation in the back. I find that if i lay on the floor and put my feet up on my couch it helps my low back from getting stiff. Ive never tried a bed or recliner so i really cant speak on that. It might be effective also. I hope i was helpful :-)

I have only used mine by laying on it. I never thought about using it while watching tv but we have a leather sofa so I'm not sure that I want it near the sofa.Good luck with your method. Have you contacted the company to ask them?I also stand on mine barefooted. It feels good afterwards.

I use it on a recliner all the time eventhough my preference is to lie on it flat on the floor. Since you aren't lying flat, less weight is put on the "points". You will still feel the them, but not as sharply. However, I always make sure my back is bare, so I do have the most direct contact. I even used it recently in the car while I was a passenger --yes bare-backed. I love this mat and I think it is one of the best purchases I have made.

I dont know if this is the exact answer you are looking for, but I use mine on the bed and couch. It really works great and I cant recommend it enough. It might work on the recliner if you are pressed hard against it. It really needs to get in there and get the blood flowing to your muscles to really take effect.

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.

Yes it doesn't let you lean all the way down, like a bed. It only goes part way, but I find it comfortable for my lower back problem.

We have one of those blank de blank recliners on which my wife cannot recline because she cannot return to an upright position without having me come to her rescue. The mechanism is not appropriate, or the spring is too rigid, something is wrong. I am considering getting another recliner for my wife who is now 87 and cannot get her earned relief from this misnamed monstrosity.

I find that it's a bit firm and intense to lie flat on it. I find it most comfortable to be reclined about 45 degrees.

I do not lay on mine too often. I use it on my back while sitting in a chair most times but sometimes I recline in the chair. That is the only time I lay on mine. I am using it right now. It is giving me such wonderful penetrating warmth.

Hello... this chair does not in fact lie down flat. Hope this information helps... thank you... - zBuys

It will not flatten out. I use it as a head rest in a therapeutic practice. Everyone comments on how comfortable it is. Even my biggest clients -- 300 plus -- can't flatten it, but say its soft and comfy.

It's not the most comfortable sleep but many of my friends have dosed off into dreamland while sitting in it. The initial recline position puts the back at about a 130 degree angle. That angle locks in place. It can however extend to almost straight at about 170 degrees but it goes right back to 130 if enough pressure not applied by the back

I slept in it one night, it was pretty comfortable. Even tho it is not meant for you to sleep in it. Is that the only way you can sleep? Have u tried using a couple of pillows and sleep on a bed?

It says not to use it on the bed but I sometimes do and it still does the job. I sit down and adjust the tail piece in the middle of my lower back and lay down slowly on it then adjust myself until it feels centered. At first it hurts a little but as you relax it aligns your back I've actually fallen asleep on it it gives me such a relief. Then when you're done, roll off of it to your side and lie on your side or your stomach for a period before trying to get up. You need a good 1/2 hr available that' why I use it before going to bed.

I've had it for about two years now. I'm 5'10" and just under 200lbs, and I haven't noticed any sagging or comfort issues. I tend to sleep in the same position most nights, so a tiny 'roll' about where my lumbar curve sits every night started to form a while ago. I started making sure to turn the mattress every couple of times I change the sheets, and it has since subsided. (By turn, I don't mean upside-down like a regular mattress. I mean head-to-foot turn)

I have never used it in a soft bed. I use it for support in a recliner. I have a hump from prednisone use so I suspect my use is different from most people. Sorry I can't be more help.

Yes you can use it in a recliner. What I did was place a towel under the seat and that helps with it wanting to slide backwards. My 89 year old father-in-law uses this and has no trouble what so ever.

No recline. There is a "wedge" that can sit under the seat - it's a plastic wedge that gives a slight backwards tilt - that seems to make it a little better for sleeping. To install or remove the wedge, the seat needs to be removed/unhooked.

No. I used in temporarily when I was in the process of moving waiting for my regular bed to get moved. Its comfortable but not as comfortable and my posturpedic. Now I just use it as a guest bed.

Yes you can use it in a recliner. I use it in my bed which I have set up so I'm almost sitting.
