Are they good for bad backs?
I'd wanted one of these chairs for years. My wife deals in mid century furniture and when one of these loungers presented itself I said we should keep it for the house. It was the chair on it's own - no foot stool. IMO it needs the footstool to make it a comfy chair. It's a 'lounger' it's made for laying relaxing on with your feet up.
Wasnt convinced so we sold it.FFD a few months then we got another, this time with a stool. Felt so much better.
We only kept it for a few months too though as I didn't really find it 'as comfy as it looks'. Thats why I'm surprised you saying you've heard it's good for bad backs.

- The only thing good for bad backs is a proper workout and stretching. Sorry to say this.
Still the Eames is a lovely chair.SimonFFM - I guess that even through you are reclining and lounging it still keeps your back quite straight. Likley a lot better than a soft marshmallow sofa for posturemicrokorg
- yeah, soft / lack of shape is no goodFax_Benson
