Your not to lay on pad -can you sit in a chair w/it behind you for lower back or do you have to lay down?

Not sure what you are asking... you can put the pad behind your back & sit in a chair. It's electric so you'll need to be in proximity to a plug. The only thing I don't like about this pad is that the control doesn't have a light in it so when you're watching tv in the dark you have to turn a light on to read the control. It is a moist heat - have no idea how they do that. It gets decently hot and has an attached hook/loop strap so I can wrap it around my elbow & it stays relatively well while watching tv.

absolutely sit in chair - great because it covers such a large area and shuts itself off!

Chair does not sit upright. You could put you feet down on the sides to keep from reclining, but it would not be comfortable and you would be lower to the ground than a regular chair. That side, we have frequently reclined in our chairs and happily conversed with people in upright chairs.

I have it lowered to the lowest position, it does meet my lower back, but you do need to be fully sitting in the seat. Not sure about not sitting back into the chair concern

There is a hole in the chair and in the towel so you can rest your head and read a book through the chair (If you were laying on your stomach). There is also a blue pillow attached to the chair that can be flipped over to cover the hole if you wanted to lay on your back and not your stomach and have some extra padding under your head. I love this chair.

I read the instructions and the only thing it said was that you should not lay on it if you were unconscious or sleeping. I've laid back in my chair with mine behind me on my lower back and I do fine, so as long as you're not sleeping, I guess it's okay to lay on it.

You must remain upright. The chair even came with a warning not to lean back in it.

The answer would be no to lying down unless you are a very small person. The unit is not very wide. In an office chair would probably work well. Havent tried it this way as I only use it for my neck and shoulders.The power cord is quite long but you would not be able to roll aroun more than the 6 feet of the cord. Hope this helps.

You should be sitting on a chair or couch to use this cart. I wouldn't even attempt to use while while laying down. If you need something to use in bed, look at some of the over bed tables like the ones used in hospitals.

Its a great chair but the positioning of your legs while sitting will cut off circulation. The padding is good except for where you rest your legs, a little too much padding. I would not recommend it for more than 3-4 hours of sitting.

No it does not allow you to lay on your stomach but if you are one who doesn't care about that or has back problems it is heaven. Sandy H.

Not really. The chair lays back quite a bit. When I read from my iPad I have to use a pillow to prop it us so I can see it better.

NO!!! You cannot lay down on any of these types of massagers. I sent my compression unit back because I couldn't use it in my chair. It was way too bulky and very uncomfortable. I have tried these models in stores but they are all set up in straight back chairs and feel great. I am going to try another model before I give up.

Yes you can lay down, but your bottom will be much lower that your knees and you have th option to use the back rest adjuster bar to go slightly vertical, but I do not think that is what you want.

This chair is very comfortable on the lowerback, however if you want to lean back this is not for you. If you plan on working a lot at a desk your back will love you.

Yes you can lay flat on your back. It is very comfortable. I am SO glad I got it.

The chair does not lay flat so you are able to lay on your back, but not on your stomach. The whole chair tilts back like a recliner, it does not fold flat.

You need to adjust the position of where the weight hangs. It should be hanging down from your back to around your lower back area. If set up properly, you will unconsciously keep you back straight to have the weight hang rather than press up against your back if you were to slouch. At least that's the way how its worked for me. P.S. You shouldn't sit against a back rest if you are wearing the Body Rite, because the weight will press against the back rest and cause more pain than good. Only use when sitting on a backless stool, standing or walking.
