I highly recommend this chair for anyone who suffers back discomfort.  Of course, everyone may have a different back issue, but it works for me. So comfortable and I like that it surrounds your entire back with support at the same time you can relax your head and neck.   I bought this chair for style not realizing how comfortable it is. My personal opinion it is possibly very good for a new mother who may be  breastfeeding.   I have one in my bedroom and another outside on my patio.
