Does your head rest on the back on its upright position? I'm 5'11"

Short answer is "yes" These things are very comfortable and have held up well. I was beyond skeptical when I ordered and I have been nothing but satisfied. Oh, I never write reviews...did this because I am really happy with the product.

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.

No...it's actually very comfortable and you don't feel anything pressing up against you. At the same time, I'm not that tall (5'2-1/2") so I don't have that much of my back unsupported. Hope that helps!

I'm 5'8. If you are sitting in the chair with proper posture, it will support your lower back enough to where you can sit completely straight very comfortably. If you lean back to where the top of your back is touching the chair, it still doesn't touch your neck. You would have to lean your head back in order for the chair to support your neck; it looks as though the top of the chair leans forward, but when you are sitting in it it won't support your neck unless you tilt your neck back. Kind of like a car seat.

I think it might be a little lower... I'm 6'1 and it sits on my mid upper back between my shoulder blades.

I sort of agree with all the other posts here from Nov 2013. I'm approx 5'6 and have the backrest adjusted for the lumbar fairly low that fits my comfort. When I tilt my head back it rests on the top of the plastic rim/edge of the backrest. So this is not a head support that is comfortable. If I raise the backrest a little higher (giving up optimum lumbar for MY body), then I have a little more of the backrest to use for my head. If a headrest is a major criteria for your purchase, you could raise the backrest higher up to have more to rest on. If ultimate lumbar and headrest are a criteria, then I would look for a chair with a taller backrest or a headrest attachment. I sort of agree with all the other posts here from Nov 2013.

I'm 6' and it is just perfect. Any taller and my head would not rest comfortably.

At 6' you can use it yet your head would be high on the headrest - BACKSTORE

I'm 6'2 and the back is just high enough to support my head so it should give you support as well.

I am 5'11" and 260lbs and I find it very comfortable, no back issues. The chair has a more strait up right posture, not reclined and I prefer that. Also the head rest hits me in the back of the neck and is not as tall as it appears. One side note and the main reason I purchased this chair is that it is double walled with sone kind of filling between the layers. I do a fair amount of cold weather camping and the air barrier created keeps your back warm.

I am 5'11 as well and I have no issues with fitting it. I believe there are several more adjustments on the seat to make it even higher than where I have it set. Your height will not be an issue.

Mostly shoulders. You have to lean to rest your head but I am tall. I would say under 5'10" and you could rest your head.

I have a large head and it is comfortable while on my back. Hope This Helps

it has two adjustments to raise or lower the back rest for slightly larger people. my wife is 5' 10'' and she is very comfortable with it.

My husband is 5'9" and he enjoys the chair. When he leans back in the chair, the high back supports his head and back. There isn't a head rest when he is sitting straight up (e.g., while typing) but that isn't an issue for him.

It's not high. The chair isn't nearly high enough or big enough for my 5' 11 1/2" frame. Head hangs over the back, legs hang over the footrest. A smaller person would find the chair quite comfortable, I think.
