Customer Reviews of HoMedics BRF-1 Massaging Back Rest with Cup Holder and Integrated Headrest
Customer Review: Second Review: After using for three years
Summary: 5 Stars
When I initially wrote my first review, it was luke warm. Three years later, I will reverse my first impression and say that I love this back rest.
I think my first review was colored by my 'expectation' of the old style, bulky back rest. This new one seemed small, even lean by comparison.
It may be lean, but it is far from wimpy.
Three years later, some of us are slow learners, I became accustomed to it's narrower width, and simply love it. It has held up well and held its form as if it were still brand new. The back massager is a bonus, and I've learned what kind of tea cup works well in the cup holder without spilling.
Five Stars a few years after the fact.
Customer Review: Good support
Summary: 4 Stars
This back rest offers good back support. The massage feature isn't very strong and is a little louder than I like while watching T.V. The cupholder is shallow and hard to reach. I am still very happy with my purchase though because it is very comfortable. I can read, do puzzles, work on my laptop... whatever with ease. It is sturdy and well made. I'm glad I bought it and I do recommend it. If you are just looking at the massage feature, I'd go with a different product. If you are looking for a comfortable way to sit up in bed, get this one. I can sit for long periods of time with it and not suffer any back ache or anything.Customer Review: Not if you are looking for a massage.
Summary: 2 Stars
This chair is okay for leaning against in bed, but even then I needed a pillow behind me. The hard metal vibrator just under the thin material stuck right in the middle of my back. It hurt me the first time I leaned back because I wasn't expecting something hard. This back rest has a very small vibrating mechanism in it that doesn't really travel the whole back.
The height was okay for me since I am only 5'3.
There is no way to control the intesity of the vibration. It is either on or off.
I took mine back the next day. The metal object in the backrest definately did not sooth my aching back.
Customer Review: HOMEDICS MESSAGING BACK REST
Summary: 2 Stars
I was sure my daughter could use this with a new baby to feed and the cup holder to hold a warm bottle. I thought this would even be a good idea for me to do some paperwork in bed and message my tired back. The joke was on us. This product is very well made but the arms are to short. The cup holder is a great for resting your elbow. I am 5 foot 7 and my daughter is 5 foot 5. This is made for a very small person. The back head rest is too short. It fits the lower part of the neck at the shoulders. I wish this came in sizes. The men in the family just laugh. It would never work for them. The workmanship is great.Customer Review: It's ok...
Summary: 3 Stars
This product is ok...not great. The cup holder is not really useable because the arm rests are too short. That's something you won't get from the photo. And returns are prohibited because of some sanitation concerns, supposedly. (Although most retail stores allow clothing to be tried on or even returned....) I haven't used the battery operated massager because I'm not really in to that. It's the proper balance between softness and stiffness for me. I sometimes put a pillow at the bottom of the back rest so I can lean back a little more and still have lower back support.
