I’m 5’8” 220, aka short and fat :) so I’m not sure about someone taller. The headrest on my model (Admiral) is height adjustable though. Of course, only he would know for sure if it works.
They’re super expensive so definitely need to be sure if you’re going to commit (unless you’re lucky and get it free like I did).
ETA: These apparently come in different sizes, so hopefully you can find the correct one that way.

Tell me about it! I’ve had it for about 2 months now and have probably spent more time in it than the previous owner did in over a decade. Great for (sometimes unintentional) naps.

I just got one of these from a family friend/retiring therapist. It is so very comfortable.

There’s also the giant white capsules filled with our waste (read: shit) that sit in a yard alongside the Turnpike waiting to be put on freight trains to Alabama. ~Exit 14/I-78

Reply to comment by KeyInterview7942 in I’m in search of a good vacuum preferably cordless. Any recommendations? by Pitcrashers1
Similar situation as you, but I went with the Aerus Lux Legacy (the cheaper Classic model is also great, but shorter warranty and fewer included accessories). If you know the brand history going back to the original real Electrolux brand of bagged canister vacuums, it’s hard to find anything close aside from a high end Miele or Sebo.

Interesting idea to keep trucks off the commuter roadways. Either way we could really use another Hudson crossing and a limited access highway between NJ and Queens/LI

I hadn’t heard of the project but based on your description I imagine it would definitely alleviate a ton of traffic in between NJ and LI

Money would be better spent building another bridge across the Hudson, or better yet, a series of bridges that go straight from NJ to Queens.

Reply to Happy birthday to Newark native, 4× NBA champion, Olympic gold medalist, actor, sports analyst, and Essex County legend Shaquille O'Neal. Twice broke the backboards during his rookie season, prompting the NBA to increase the backboard strength and stability for the following season by rollotomasi07071
I witnessed one of those two backboard busters at Brendan Byrne Arena when I was a kid. I remember complaining to my dad about how long it was taking to replace the backboard and clean the court. It was also the day I became a huge fan of Shaq.
