How is the lower back support?

I'm sorry but I did not try that before returning the chair .... there were no instructions in my package and I could not get it together all the way. It is a beautiful chair and worth trying....mine was just a fluke and because I was in a hurry I ended up getting a Posturepedic chair that Staples had just introduced in their store. They are approximately the same height and seat size and they put it together for me in store.

Yes it supports my middle back...I wouldn't recommememory memory foam if you're over200lbs.

The back is really supportive, can lean for comfort and not feel like it will snap, tear or break. Have not been in a situation yet where we did not have a place to hook the bottom of the chair so can't answer that.

The back seems fairly supportive. I lean back on it...but not with all my body weight. I sit normally and am comfortable. As for the stability of the chair...the hooks are best. But... I have used it without the hooks to try it out. The bottom is rubberized so it stays fairly stationary. If you are a wiggle worm you might end up on the floor. If you sit normally you should be comfortable and stay put!

I also have a bad back and need support, you won't be disappointed in this item. The cushions are comfortable, but you don't melt into it and sink, having a hard time getting up. The backrest if soft yet angled nearly 90deg., I hate couches that lean back too far. I would rate this a 9 out of 10 on back support/comfort.

I don't have that problem so I couldn't tell you on that. But it does give me relief to my lower back. You can always try one at stores that have them displayed or a friend that has one. But I would check with your Dr before you do it to be sure it is ok with your back problem

it fit in our frame just fine. As far as support I have a bad back, it took a little while to get used to it but now it has helped by back a great deal.

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

I'm shopping for my wife, who has an L4-L5 fusion and spinal stenosis. I see your comment and wonder how well you're satisfied with the 240. Another reviewer was unhappy about lower back support. Any help would be appreciated.

This chair was a gift for my daughter-in-law. I did sit in it and it is very comfortable. It's hard to comment on the support for someone else, especially with a bad back. It is more comfortable then others of the same style. The back did not seem stiff, but softer. Hope this helps!

Yes, it got normal lumbar support as most other chairs, but nothing extreme since it is more into the comfy/couch style.

My wife and I have use it. I like it a lot. You need good Tibias in both legs. I stand up every 15 minutes, do not have anymore back aches like I have when I seat on a regular office chair with good back support. Good product at a reasonable price.

The back rest is good, I don't feel uncomfortable leaning back at all. It gives me a little break from keeping my posture super straight.

Well i am 270lbs i have a stiff back and i love this thing. I bought a second one for my son, also with back problems. I cannot measure it right now... Few inches off the ground and the sides able to help you up or down . Get it , your dad will love it .

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

It does not have much back support. It is fine for my kids to watch TV on and it is REALLY good to sleep on. It is portable-fits in the back of my SUV. easy to clean too.
