Does this come with a lifteime warranty? I have a boney body frame is it comfortable? doing yoga position are you steady?

I don't know about the lifetime warranty. I returned mine right away because it was defective. I do yoga. I wouldn't use this mat for yoga because it's too think. It would cause instability in a lot of poses.

I'm not sure on the lifetime warranty. It's very plush and comfortable, some positions you can be unsteady due to the plushness though. But it's great on my knees. Also it tends to come apart where you your hands and feet make contact the most after extensive use.

It's very cushiony and thick. My mat was one of the thickest in the class and it is steady while you do yoga moves.

Hi! We are a similar size. I love my obus forme! Have had it for at least a half dozen years and it has saved me many times over from unbearable back pain due to poorly designed chairs, seats, work stress etc. My new PT approved it and noticed that I am wearing out a part of it due to my spinal curvature and my tendency to lean my weight to one side. So do get support for your office and travel, but also be sure to check in with a PT if you have chronic issues.

I have not the answer. We just bought it because it was reasonable and had a warranty plus you really have no idea how comfortable a bed is going to be by just trying it out in a store. We have been very happy with our bargain....no more back or nerve pain.

I take hourly breaks and occasionally swap the chair with a standard desk chair, but otherwise I'm fairly comfortable over 8 hours per day. regular chairs stress my back, this kneeling chair is easier on my back but is harder on my legs. Prolonged typing is hard on your body no matter what; yoga helps. I agree with happymom that it takes a couple weeks to get used to the kneeling chair, but after that it's fine. I wouldn't recommend for heavier people because the cushions do depress to the wood easily.

I realize this is a very late reply to your query, but I thought I'd answer anyway. I sometimes take several months to make a decision about a major purchase. This is super sturdy and doesn't feel bouncy or like you are leaning forward. It feels really good, very solid. it is very comfortable. I am out of shape and needed to start exercising, and my use of this is increasing over time -- I am up to 3x a week.

It works with movement. correct me if I'm wrong, but I think of yoga as a lot of position holding. My guess would be no.

It's not firm enough IMO. It stretches when you do some yoga poses on it so you have to be careful. It is soft and provides a good cushion.

I've had mine over a year and it's hardly gone down at all. That's with irregular practice (probably not quite once a week), but that should give you some idea - this is going to last a while. Note, you don't actually use it to dry but to get stickiness - I sweat quite a lot and have a terrible time slipping, and even in heated yoga this works for me.

No problems. I sleep on it daily; I find it comfortable. I have complete ease of movements.

I have no complaints about this chair at all. I love this chair and being a plus size person of 300+ pounds I feel very secure in this chair. I would recommend it. If I had to say anything bad it would be that you do have to use your arms to get out of the chair because you rest so comfortable back in it. I would give it five stars though on the five star scale.

I am 65, with spinal stenosis and degenerating hip & knee joints and I use it. I found that the body weight of the user stabilizes the unit, making the handles that need to be held during use, secure. The unit I had before was just the bottom portion (no handles) and you had to hold on to the back of a chair for stability....which ended up to be not too stable at all.

I have osteoarthritis in my back and the back rest and seat feels like you are sitting in an "easy" chair. Very comfortable. I do not think it stresses your knees at all since you are leaning back some. This is not like an upright bike that can cause pressure on your knees.

yes, I bought it after being released from hospital with back and neck issues. slept on it for a week or so. That being said after 2 months the base frame screws tour out of the assembly. Had to glue it all back together again as a short term fix til i find a replacement. Am not a heavy person 165 and only moderate use. Be warned

I have low back problems as well (spinal foraminal stenosis, scoliosis, and a ruptured disk) so I need a recumbent bike. I'm hoping this one would be supportive and comfortable for my back. Thank you for your help M. Houston, it is appreciated:-)

I use it lying down on the floor. Exercise is primarily legs, but I experience stretching/movement in my back as well.

Exactly!!! No expert, but that was my basic idea in my statement. Body adjusts to change sometimes. A break is helpful - in my experience with this product.

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking but we didn't notice any big strain on the back one way or the other. We were using it for general exercise, so if you increased the tension, you might create more of a "stretch".
