chairback
Where shoulders rest
The back portion of a chair—the vertical surface that supports a seated person's back.
Chairback describes both the structural element itself and things shaped like or positioned at chair backs: a chairback cover, chairback height.
In sports, a chairback seat is one with back support, as opposed to a bench.
