Help! How do I adjust this thing? I managed to ratchet it up to the most curvy position as I was unboxing it but I can't get it to flatten out again.

Bend it tighter and it should release to flat.This chair is good but not great as far as the quality of the frame.

Have to push it all the way closed till you hear a final click then it unlocks and you have to go to full recline for it to 'reset' itself...then you can slowly ratchet it upwards again. Same for the headpiece.

Ratchet as much as possible and push and it will release and it will go back to default.

It's like a lawn chair....fold it forward and you'll hear the "clicks"....it should lie flat then. If you can't get it to stay in a chair position after that, lift it slightly in the middle and it kind of resets.

keep going in the same direction with extra pressure,once you have maxed it out it will release the ratcheting to allow you to start over again.you can do this at every joint.

I had the same problem: but I kept working with it & finally it fit well.& now I still have problems-- sometimes the top or the back falls off,I just snap it back in, so yes, it does not fit very well, should have a betterfit - I think. thank you

Try turning it upside down. I thought both ends looked the same and had the same problem. Finally out of frustration I turned it upside down and it fit great.

I used a bar to force everything down to get it into place. Don't be afraid to muscle it. Everything should come together. Loosen everything up and try again.

didn't have that problem. what I would do is contact who you got it from and ask for an exchange or refund.it might be just a default in that one. it did settle when the box spring and matters was added.

Get someone stronger to twist it. Use some of those jar gripper things. Keep saying bad words to it until it loosens up. ? ;)

I think it will flatten once you sit on it. I think you should find something thicker because and wider to help you with that.

Try sewing it together with waxed thread. It won't be adjustable but it won't mar the seat. Also the waxed thread is super strong.

Mine came to me all wrapped tight & expanded big time when I opened it & put it on the bed. I have a double. I can reposition it pretty easy on my bed so I imagine you could fold it up & put some kind of restraint to keep it that way. Or maybe you could stuff it in a space bag & vacuum the air out. Good luck.

I suspect it's just wedged on tight. I don't know what would happen if you tried prying it or greasing it. Mine is, I think, a bit tight, but can be wiggled off.

I had the same issue to the point of having returned one for an exchange in which customer service was extremely helpful. When my exchange arrived, I had the same issue again. I decided to apply a strong pull outward giving up occasionally for fear it would break in half. I did not want to set myself up to not be able to return it for a refund but I really liked the monitor and still do. Eventually, I just applied a little extra strength to my pull and it worked. Just keep trying until it gives. I was personally surprised when it loosened because the base mechanism upon inspection did not even appear as if it was designed to adjust. Good luck! I hope this helps.

Try unscrewing the adjustment entirely...the should be a rubber seal inside in addition to a little plastic ring. See if either of those are mangled and messing with the adjustment.

If you can't unscrew and adjust send it back. Customer service through amazon is very good. Just request that you want to return it and an address label should be provided dto you in good time.

It is now FLAT!!! Thanks everybody. The curved edge is to the outside, away from you while you're sitting there but I can live with that. Someone here said to pull the post out and turn it 180 and put it back in the bottom holder and that's all I needed. Thanks to you!!

Mine came folded up in squares, and despite attempting to stretch it over my frame, the wrinkles are still very visible... and that was after leaving it flattened out for a couple of weeks. Unless gravity straightens things out or I can steam iron it straight, I basically just wasted $70. It's unrealistic to think I could take out the 4000 staples I've put in and restretch it.

Loosen the nut and screw where the seat post and the frame meet...you can move it up and down...and then retighten.

Did you try the actual physical adjustments on it, the controler adjustements don't seem to be able to compensate for it being put together out of alignment.
