This chair is a LOT more comfortable than I expected it to be! My sister has a single chair, so I can compare hers with mine; and now I would never even consider buying a single one! I'm 5'7", and can easily lie down in it. Now I'm spending a lot more time on my patio :) For added comfort I bought a pillow, because I like my head to be elevated a little more, but the arm rest of the cushion can also be used as a pillow. This chair is beautiful, sturdy, and very well made. There is also a lifetime warranty on manufacturer defects, which definitely helps. Finally, a shout out to Wayfair's excellent customer service, way over exceeded my expectations!
