I'm very short, only 5' tall. Does the headrest push your head forward while seated?

No it does not. I just want to say this is the best chair/lounger I have ever bought! No I don't work for the company, I'm just a guy that went out to all the dealers here in Scottsdale, AZ and sat in at least 50 including the $2500 Zero Gravity leather recliners. There was nothing on the market that comes close to this chair in comfort, support and well made! The leather is very nice and you can tell it is tough, so if you have kid, or grandkids it will recliner the kids won't play with because the recline requires an adult harm to reach the lock. I was going to by a Lazy Boy electric everything that was way more expensive than the Oslo Collection, and I know the grandkids would probably burn the motor out in short order! My wife is 5'-2" and she fits just fine and it is comfortable to her as well. There is another Oslo Leather recliner that is just a bit smaller for smaller people. It also less expensive, but I don't know how much any more and if you are really concerned about fitting the chair, buy the smaller version. I found it by accident when I found a lower price for the exact same chair and wanted that price to save the money. After talking to the people over the phone they told me the reason it was less expensive is that it is a little smaller for smaller folks. Not sure you need it especially if you are sharing the chair with someone larger. After all I believe you will fit the chair just fine! I absolutely smile every time I sit in it! It is soooo comfortable!!! Hope this has helped you a little to make up your mind and feel at peace with your purchase. Thanks, Conrad Scott

I am 68 inches tall and I find the headrest too tall and I imagine the head rest for a 60 inch tall person might be even taller

Only the headrest tilts. So if its on it might be hard to see if the headrest is all the way forward. But it's not completely flat so it's comfort is bearable for the front passenger.

Hello, I am 5'4" and it is a stretch to sit down,...not advisable if you are taller also it would be harder to get-UP from a short seat,... the seat is very small kind of like a pancake,...search for cane-seat thingie for some one of height,..when you sit on these seat-cains the cane part goes in front ..for safety, good luck hunting,...Wendy.PEACE

This is a high back chair so the average persons head would either sit right on the head rest or maybe slightly (a few inches max) above it or below it depending on how you sit down. I am 5'1 and my head sits a little lower on the head rest.

My head is 25 to 27 inches off the ground, feet only 22 inches, it does not recline back so far that you feel your sliding head first in to the ground. It's a nice cradle recline.

I am 6'3" and the head rest seems too low. Stargrave's answer is about right.

yes, your head will be above the chair. I'm 5'3" and the chair is the perfect size and is very comfortable for someone 5'3" or shorter.

I'm 5' 8" and no I have to use a small pillow to support my head and another one in the seat or the back hits me in an awkward position in my lower back. The difference in height may make a difference, I think the chair may be designed for a smaller person.

No. The headrest is adjustable and the seat is wide. My son loves it so much we bought a second.

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.

Yes, I am 5' 10" and my chair just barely goes as low as I'd like. First there is a lever that raises and lowers the seat. Second, how low it goes depends in part on weight, as the spring is keeping it at a certain height. I have the spring set to maximum compressibility, so the chair goes as low as possible under my weight, which gets me just to the 90 degree angle.

Yes - at 5'7" I'm very comfortable - the back of the chair is higher so you should not have a problem. Plus, the chair back is curved and conforms to your body.

No. I'm just under 5'-4" and I had to take the suspension seat post off and replace it with a non suspension post in order to drop the seat down enough to comfortably touch the ground while seated.

I am 5'2 and it's very comfortable for me. It feels so light weight (and easy) when pushing it that I would think it would work for you, too!

it tilts only forward...if back tilting is required it can only be achieved by tilting the back piece but note the head rest will not go further back than the back of the chair.additional information: this chair is used by my wife (broken spine in 3 vertebrae with screws, graft and lateral retention plates) and she has found it very comfortable since we received it. the first criteria for our purchase was her comfort and the second value-money relationship...both were achieved (we had very close competitor in a chair from costco but i'm a very big fan of amazon...)

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'm 5'10 too, and it is tall enough for me to put my head back against the cushion, but if you have a really long torso, it might not fit you as the top of my head is at the top of the cushion. If you try any of the Dutalier chairs at a baby store (Buy buy baby or BabiesRUs), I think they're all the same size.
