We all love this chair. The kids fight over it to do school work and I use it to swing and watch the birds out the window. It is very comfy. You could use a small pillow for your head but I find I don't need it. The only downsize is the chain is very long and the links are very hard to remove. You could easily replace the chain with a shorter one, but the one that comes with it is gray and made to match the chair.
