One of the comments below stated that the back of the head was flat. Is this indeed the case, or was this just one incident?

No the head is not flat. Made of soft rubber, can insert wig pins, great for display or styling.

I found a picture showing the unit from the side: http://www.amazon.com/Bilt-rite-Orthopedics-Safety-Infrared-Heat/dp/B009R2J0KI/ref=cm_cr-mr-title. As you can see the backside is not flat.

Yes. We had to get one head set replaced after one side stopped working. The second set is working fine for now. Looks like a few people having the same problems. Do not know if there was a few lemons in the basket, but my son insisted on this head set. The makers replaced the head set without any issues.

Hi! For me, it did not. It held my head straight up. No backwards or forwards pushing

No. The head rotates 360 degrees based upon the wind. We have 4 of them, and usually all 4 heads are in the same direction.

Umm... not really? but the back rest is kind of at angle, so i didnt even notice.

Yes and there was not for me. I was okay with that because I just "Googled" it and found out it is recommended to use with a pillow to support your head. For the money I spent I am VERY satisfied with this purchase. On the occasions where my back is stiff, I can feel it "pop" as I lay to stretch it out. :)

It has a flat base. I have also have the same head with a ball if you are looking for one.

Excellent question that hopefully will gain informative replies, as the back is a serious point of concern for many...myself included.

I think it's pretty accurate. I think the neck pillow looks very good. But when it was placed over the headrest, I felt it was too stiff for me (there was almost no cushion at all). To compensate that you would need to slide down your back rest further behind.

Should be flat.....That's weird may be defective or exposed to too much heat.

I think this will answer your question - As you sleep on it, the soft part of the pillow which is on top of the water "sack" became flatter in the middle where my head is. I hope that helps. If that is not your question, I agree with "Gram".

There are some bolts near the surface at the back of the head and spine so they tell you not to strike the back. It won't break it, it is a safety issue

*actually,the other responder was clearly more accurate than mine.there are indeed three heads.1closed mouth,1teeth clenched&1yelling*

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

Almost. It has just the width of the spine preventing it from being completely flat.

I assume the head on the various models are identical, the bodies would be different
