I finally got the chance to open the package due to the weather. However, now that I have had the chance to try it, man, do I enjoy it. I'm pregnant, and paying back with my feet up is so nice and relaxing. It doesn't take much effort to lay back or sit forward. Since I did get the XL, it is meant for taller people. I'm pretty short, so where the knees are supposed to line up, don't. Overall, very comfortable.
