I want something with a good headrest and supportive for reading a book. Would this one fit the bill?

This would work, but if you really want to read, get the one with the leg rest! Ultimate lounging for reading!

Hi Cheryl..I put it behind my neck when I'm laying down to read. It helps keep your head a little elevated and it's really comfortable. When my hubby isn't using it, I use it myself. The middle part goes to the back of your neck. I hope that helps. Good luck.

I guess it depends what you want from a sofa. It sits low and the cushions are deep. It's not wholly uncomfortable. I don't care for the headrests as they are cheap. It's over priced in my opinion but it does look good in the living room and I have gotten used to it. It's kinda hard too. Of course I don't use very much. I would see if you could find a showroom that actually has one of these and go check it out. If I had done that I probably would not have bought it.

Yes, it is very comfortable. It is easily adjustable. I have a small head and it works great for me while reading in bed and not disturbing my husband.

It will definitely support your body weight. But the most important if it feels comfortable to sit on. I had tried different shapes and kinds before I found the one that works for me.

i didnt have the issue with the height, but the elastic broke right away. Also, I didn't feel like the headrest was comfortable. It was too hard for me.

Head support is adjustable height and great. Not sure you're going to find any car seat that will completely prevent the head bob when they fall asleep

This would work so well. While on the plane, coach bus or on the ferry- I didn't need to lean on the chair for support. I simply rested my chin on the third arm of the pillow and it was comfortable. The pillow comes with a flyer for several different positions you can use the pillow.

I'm not sure, but if I would buy again I woukdnt get this one. I feel like the backrest is low and does not have enough support.

Mrs H I sat in a friend's chair and absolutely loved it. Nice high back support, headrest, and can leave your legs out or have your knees bent. I found it very comfortable for the 15 minutes I was in it. I have to say that I'm 6'7" . I'm getting one ASAP.

Just so you know, it is more of a back support then a head rest. It doesn't reach your head if you are setting in a normal postiion. If there are two of you, consider the River Run II. It is a few dollars more but it is fun for two. Remember, the air pump has to have a nozzle with a head that is a half inch in width. The backrest uses a standard air pump or it can be blown up by mouth which is not easy.

I would definitely say I could read a book with this in the tent anywhere and it wouldn't even have to be on the brightest setting. But something like "comfortably read" is very subjective depending on your quality of eye sight. I have 20/20 vision and I'm fairly young so I have no idea how this would be for some one that was say 60 years old and using reading glasses. I don't know where you are at on that spectrum but hopefully this gives you an idea to judge for yourself.

Yes, the Jasmine is great and would hold a 1000 page hard-back book. It can hold a book a little bit over 4 inches thick. This is one of the best buys on a product I have made; especially since I am a college student. No more upper neck pain from looking down to read. the page holder are terrific for those book that seem to want to close.

It is very sturdy and would have space for many books. I use it as a toy box, I guess it could be used as a foot rest but it is quite big and on e filled it's not very easy to move about, hope this helps you.

I have a problem with the end of my spine so I need one that support my whole seat area and does not put pressure on the middle of my spine and has cushion as well and this one does.

Yes. I use it also for reading hard back books.will work with most anything that won't break it.

I think the arm rests would be fine. Where the diffulty, in my mind would be, is the back does not sit up straight enough (for me at least). I found that even when watching TV, I have to place a lower back support pillow so my lower back doesn't hurt. That is the one problem with the chair in my opinion (no way to set the back up nearly straight). If you go with this as a desktop, you will probably need to do the same.
