A magnetic head having an in-stack bias structure and a free layer structure. The in-stack bias structure includes an antiferromagnetic layer, and first through fourth antiparallel (AP) pinned bias layers separated by three AP coupling layers. A first spacer layer is positioned above the fourth bias layer of the bias structure. A free layer is positioned above the first spacer layer. The fourth bias layer magnetostatically stabilizes the free layer.
