Back Cushion

Sitting for long periods without lower-back support lets the spine slump and puts pressure on the waist. This memory foam lumbar cushion fills the space between your lower back and the chair, so you sit more upright with less strain. The slow-rebound foam moulds to your shape for personal support, and the breathable mesh cover keeps you comfortable.

Most of us spend many hours a day sitting – at a desk, in the car, on the sofa. How you sit matters as much as how long you sit. Your spine has a natural S-shape, and the inward curve of the lower back (the lumbar curve) is the part that most often loses its support in a chair.

What happens when you slump

Without support, the pelvis tilts backwards, the lower back rounds and the head drifts forward. The muscles, ligaments and discs of the spine then have to carry the load in a position they are not built to hold for hours. Over time this can lead to:

Good sitting posture in 5 points

• Sit all the way back in the chair, with your lower back supported.
• Keep your feet flat on the floor and your knees at about hip height.
• Let your shoulders relax and stay over your hips.
• Keep your screen at eye level so your head stays upright.
• Stand up, stretch or walk for a few minutes every 30–60 minutes.

How this cushion helps

The lumbar cushion fills the gap between your lower back and the chair, helping you keep the natural lumbar curve without having to think about it. With your lower back supported, the rest of the spine can settle into a more upright, balanced position – so you can sit longer in comfort and stand up feeling less stiff.
