Does the high back offer head support? If not, is the back tall enough to put a head pillow behind it? I'm about 5'6".

I bought this chair for my husband to use at work for better back support. I'm about 5'6 and I would say that it's good for head support but you would have to lay back on it because it bends backwards. You could definitely put a support pillow on it for your neck though. It's a great chair!

I am also around 5'6" and the chair comes up to just past my neck, so it might work with a pillow. I not have try a pillow and the chair is not overly comfortable on the neck or head when resting back on the chair. The rest of the chair is comfortable and I use it everyday for many hours per day. So I have no complaints about it.

Unfortunately it does not offer head support. The backs are not that tall but the chairs are very comfortable.

I sort of agree with all the other posts here from Nov 2013. I'm approx 5'6 and have the backrest adjusted for the lumbar fairly low that fits my comfort. When I tilt my head back it rests on the top of the plastic rim/edge of the backrest. So this is not a head support that is comfortable. If I raise the backrest a little higher (giving up optimum lumbar for MY body), then I have a little more of the backrest to use for my head. If a headrest is a major criteria for your purchase, you could raise the backrest higher up to have more to rest on. If ultimate lumbar and headrest are a criteria, then I would look for a chair with a taller backrest or a headrest attachment. I sort of agree with all the other posts here from Nov 2013.

My husband is 5'9" and he enjoys the chair. When he leans back in the chair, the high back supports his head and back. There isn't a head rest when he is sitting straight up (e.g., while typing) but that isn't an issue for him.

I am just shy of 6' with a long torso, but everyone is built differently. For me, the top of the headrest when I'm leaning back in the chair comes to just below the top of my head. It's padded and quite comfortable. At 6' you should be able to recline and relax comfortably on this chair - your head won't flop over the back. :)

I've had no problem with headboard. I bought mine about 1 yr ago. I'm 6 ft tall and the back of my head touches near the end of the board. I'm happy with this product.

I am 5'4 and back support is enough for me. However, the leg support is short. I hope this is helpful.

Sorry for the delay in answering this. Used the pillow today and yesterday it does support most of the upper back if you're not a very large adult.

It depends on your height to a certain extent I would think, but I am 5'6" and it provides head rest / neck support comfortably for me.

I am 5'9" and my wife is 5'5". For both of us, when we lean our head back and rock, our head is resting on the aluminum part of the chair that runs along the top. It is comfortable. The chairs are not really lounge chairs though. You are still in a relatively upright position when rocking.

I'm 5'2" with a short torso, and the lower back support is great. I have the back rest as low as it will go and have to sit completely back against it. However, the seat pan is shallow enough that my short legs easily reach the foot rest when I'm sitting against the back rest.

Very high on the back! My husband is 6"2 and covers pretty much all his back. Love it :)

That was my concern when I bought it too but its actually a little more vertical than it looks... Its got good head suppory once you acutally set in it but if need be you can always throw a pillow behind your head and its just that much more comfy.

Kim I think it all depends on personal preference and your size. If you look for my review, you'll see a very comprehensive description of this pillow. I even give measurements. I'm 5'3" and my husband is 6'. He found it comfortable to sleep on his back with his head in the middle but couldn't sleep on his side. I couldn't get comfortable because of neck problems laying on my back. Although it was fairly comfortable on my side, it still didn't give me the neck support I needed so the pillow is now a back rest when I'm sitting up in bed. The pillow is too wide across to fit under my neck. Again I suggest you read my review. Good luck.

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 depends I suppose on how tall you are but the back of the chair does easily go up and down. I am 5'4', at the lowest setting, it supports my head well. My husband is 5'8" and weraised it all the way up and it supports his head well. The pedals on this chair work really easily so finding your perfect comfort is easy.

I'm 6'2" and can rest my head comfortably on the back with room to spare. My wife is 5'1" and finds it very comfortable as well. The only 'issue' I have is that the leg rest is pretty short - it comes to my calves, however offers enough support to counter the additional leverage and is comfortable for me. My wife's feet sit right on the end.

More than enough height to rest you head. I'm 5'8" and my husband is 5'11". Very nice chair.

I got rid of mine... I'm 6'4" I loved this pillow for sleeping on my side but on my back it caused my neck to hurt as it was too tall. I bought the largest size and I probably should have bought one size smaller as I could have gone either way based on how they tell you to measure.

If your body is proportional you'll be fine. I'm 5'11" and the back of my head almost touches the floor with about 1" clearance. Good luck!
