Is this large enough to lie with your back on it and feet on the ground? I'm a 5'4" female and want to use it for dumbbell chest flies, etc.

My best guess is that, even with your spine at the edge of the step, your head would still be unsupported at the far end. The 14" inch width would work ok, but even at 5'4", I have doubts that 27" is long enough. Maybe you could have someone place a measuring tape on your back and see where the 27" would fall.

I am a little larger then you, I just tried it and I was able to use for what you are asking. So yes!

No.it's not thick enough for comfort for your weight. I would go with a futon or a much thicker mattress.

I am 6'3", 260+ lbs and i have plenty of room on the bench. In fact, I can do seated reverse flys on the side of the bench, and the cushion does not bend or flex.Great Bench

I'm 5'4 and about the same weight. I had plenty of room for me,and my supplies. I think you would be alright. My feet were no where close to touching the end of the tent in the laying position.

I haven't tried it lying down. As Roxy answered, your bottom wouldn't be aligned with the rest of your back. There isn't much "give" to it, so that could be uncomfortable. It might help you with sitting, though. It takes some getting used to. Best wishes for complete recovery.

Yes, but others may not think so. I am 6'0", 190lbs, athletic build (not fat and soft but not chiseled either) and I bottomed out the pad with shoulders and hips depending on how I was laying. I am an avid camper and usually sleep on a 1/2" foam pad under my sleeping bag, so this mattress topper on my hard wood floor felt great. Totally good enough for a good nights sleep, but don't expect full mattress plush. My sub-100 lb girlfriend never bottomed out the pad and said it felt just like the tempurpedic mattress in the spare room.

I have never used it lying down and would think that to be very difficult. As long as you can get your feet (or hands) in the pedals then a somewhat reclining position might be okay not sure about that. If you can reach the pedals with your hands or feet then its usable I would think. I sit on a couch, put the ergometer on a table near the front of my couch and place my hands on the pedal stirrups and pedal with my arms. For your feet you can sit on a chair or couch and with the ergometer on the floor pedal around I suppose but I use it not for my legs or with my feet but with my hands for my upper body and love it. Always make sure you are okay to exercise by running it by your doc. Usually I would imagine it would be okay but I'm not a doctor. Good luck and let us know what you do.

I'm 5'8" and it is great. I am more comfortable by placing a soft pillow over it and lay on it. Knowing that the thickness of the pillow can help adapt for you height if needed. Good luck.

It is. I just measured mine. I am 5'0" so it's not a problem for me but I can see where it could be for some. I do love the bench and if it were me, I would probably put it up on cinder blocks to elevate it......I've never had to elevate anything in my life!

I bought this tent cot for a music festival several months ago. It is not huge but it does sleep two average sized people well. I am 4'11" and my boyfriend is six foot. We both slept well on it. The bar on the middle acts something like a divider. It will only affect your comfort if you are lying directly on top of it. I would not recommend it for two heavy or exceptionally tall people but we were very satisfied . Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, if you're shorter than, say, 5'4" it may be too high for you. I'm 5'9" and it is perfect, although care must be taken to avoid leaning back too far due to the three legged stance. I purchased this item to provide me a rest when standing in long lines and it's ideal for that.

I have not used it lying down and would not want to try it. My guess would be that the articulations could not function with body weight over it - at least for very long. IT IS WELL MADE. I bought it for my mom 2 or 3 years ago and it gets used every night by at least her and one other person in the family. It was a very appreciated gift.

Yes! I am female and 5 feet tall & I can set this up all by myself. However I am a strong girl, I workout often and practice proper form when lifting things. Might not be so easy for someone out of shape or lacking strength.

Mine is adjustable and can be laid flat. So as big as the back is, would be the largest in your case. The back lays down flat against the back part holding it up. And the cushion folds up. It's not "super" sturdy, but is sturdy enough as long as you are not tough with it.

Definitely big enough!! Sometimes I sit on it and use it as a chair. Then, I fluff it up and make it flat by laying on it like a bed. My daughter, who is "5'6 and 214 lbs. and her husband who is "5'6 also and 150 lbs. prefer to use it as a bed while visiting. My husband and I have also used it as a place to take a nap during the day, I'm "5'3 and 140 lbs. and my husband is "5'9 and 200lbs. and we fit comfortably. It's a lot bigger than I expected!!

1. Yeah, it is stable enough for dips.2. It's not terribly thick, but I have never experienced any discomfort.3. Don't worry, you won't fall off. However, you will notice it taking slightly more effort to stabilize your body in a flat chest press, and sometimes doing flies you will feel your shoulder blades hitting the edge of the pad.

I am 6' 00", 200 pounds and EXCEPT for the wider than normal space between the seat & back ... you should be fine. I have been using a folded towel which I have put in the space as needed ... not great, but comfortable enough .... a piece of foam would be better. The other negative for me are the "rollers" on the leg extension arms ... they don't roll well. If I didn't have to have a "space saver" type bench I wouldn't buy this one as it is not as sturdy as a one piece bench. I do miss my old Marcy. Use it in great health!
