Is the back rest soft (comfortable)? or is it hard plastic?

It's what I would consider suitable. Too hard, and you might as well lean on the box. Too soft, and it will quickly flatten out and well, you are leaning on the box. It's firm enough not to collaps but not so hard as to not offer some cushioning.

the back is firm and is comfortable, the arm cushions are velcro, both of mine were damaged during shipment, I kept one and sent the other one back when I was notified by the carrier that the box was damaged. The back cushions sit straight up which I find comfortable. I think an older person would do just find with the up and down movement. Hope this helped.

It's quite comfortable, firm squishy is a great description. Soft seat cushion made of silicone material .

When you lie on it its quite firm. But as it has springs when you sit on it it might seem to be softer as all your weight is at one point.

The mattress is a soft medium...very comfortable, but I haven't slept an entire night on it yet, so I'm not sure how my back will hold up. You might want to look at some other options, because it is definitely not firm.

For me it's firm. I guess it depends on how you like to sit. I tend to slouch over so I have to put it at an angle just so it won't be uncomfortable.

No, it's pretty comfortable. I haven't sat on it for an extended period of time, but it's nice.

I don't think it's hard plastic, it seems like very firm rubber with soft padding on top. My husband loves his.

It is firm but not hard. I have back issues and was not uncomfortable at all. I am totally pleased with it overall.

It's pretty soft once you're laying on it. It feels like a giant marshmallow in my opinion, which is great for my back

I wouldn't say its overly firm or overly soft. It molds around the pressure spots just right. Very comfortable. Made a cheap mattress feel almost as good as my sleep number bed.

No, it is comfortable. I would suggest the wider chair. My next purchase will be one that is wider.

It is not stiff and is very comfortable. I would not say it is real soft, but firm enough to give good support. Just right for me! I weigh over 220#.

The backrest is plastic coated steel, not particularly comfortable but completely satisfactory. When I compared this table to the professional model at my therapists, I found my table to be adequate. You could spend a lot more for a "professional" model but you would not be that far ahead.

I would describe it as firm, but not hard as rocks. I love mine and it really helps with tailbone pain, which is why I got it. I move it about the house with me, wherever I plan to sit for awhile.

It is hard plastic. The sliding bench is not meant for long-term sitting. It's intended only for use during a bath.

Hi Yes, it is very smooth plastic & we think it is very comfortable. It is made really well. We still love it. Hope that I helped you. Marcie ��
