ObusForme Lowback Backrest Support – Lower Back Padded Seat Cushion and Lumbar Support Pillow, Portable Posture Support with Soft and Durable Foam

Recently a nagging lower back problem got progressively worse, and I knew it was time to make a few adjustments to how I sit; both at home and work. I felt a little desperate so I jumped right to one of the pricier options instead of the cheaper back supports that I've seen around and even tested. This item is well worth the additional money.You might think of this as primarily for a desk chair, but I actually used it first in our recliner couch. After watching about an hour of TV, I could already feel a difference. And when I stood up, a huge improvement! No stiffness, less soreness, and generally just felt better. I took it to work the next day and same results -- less stiffness after working on the computer for 90 minutes (I try to make myself stand up and move every 60-90 minutes). And at the end of the work day, I felt much more mobile and less pain than I've had in a few months.Just as important as the support, it's also very comfortable. You really forget it's there. Because of it's taller shape that conforms to your back, it stays in place. I can also comfortably recline all the way back on our sofa and even took a bit of a nap with it!I'm writing this review after about 2 weeks of regular use, and my husband and I both have decided this is a must have for anywhere that we sit regularly.

Migraines have stopped showing up daily.This backrest gave me immediate relief with it's comfortable and solid cushion. I work sitting down for a living in an office and I'm tall. I like the adjustable band on the backside but it does slide as you move around but I have found that nearly impossible for anything to stay in place - this does a better job. The foam support pillow is velco'd and can be placed anywhere I need. Coworkers like to sit in my chair when I'm gone.I recommend getting Kensington solemate footrest also because the two keep me sitting aligned better as I have a tendency to slouch to look at my computers. Now I rarely slouch because the backrest keeps me supported and less likely to want to move from my more comfortable position.

This item is perfect for the short, petite office worker who needs to be propelled forward in the chair in order to create a 90 degree angle for the knees bend as well as to provide lumbar support adjustable at every level. The lumbar pad is velcro and the entire backrest serves as a board for it to attach to so you can literally place it wherever you like (major plus, and a feature not always available with other brands). The strap is long enough to reach around my rather bulky office chair (another feature not satisfied by other brands). The entire backrest is tall enough to reach the top of my chair. It actually fits really perfectly for my chair, though I imagine that is partially due to luck.My back feels better already! (paired with a foot rest - crucial for short office workers whose feet dangle!)

I purchased this because my chair at work was uncomfortable. I find most chairs to be poorly designed in terms of the chair back not protruding forward enough to meet the back. When I got this it definitely relieved a good deal of my back stress and allowed for better posture when seated. I found I was comfortable and not as worn out at the end of the day with back aches. The smaller piece in the front comes off an you can move it about as you like. There is also a stretchable strap for securing it to a chair which tightens with two different buttons. There is all a small carrying handle on the side if you need to take it to and fro. It does not make your chair look goofy and it works as I thought it would. It's just fabric and some hard plastic-like substance inside. It is durable material and well made. I would purchase it again if I lost mine. I would not recommend this for anyone who wants to use it in a car with bucket seats as it will not fit correctly. This one is best for office chairs in my opinion. The company also makes versions of back rests for cars which are designed differently for that need.

I have had this support device for about a week shy of two months. I am absolutely satisfied that this device is as good, or better than most any other like device on the market. I use it on a straight-back rocking chair. It is very durable and provides excellent lumbar support. Initially, I was concerned that the small strip of Velcro behind the support pad would not last and that the pad would start slipping. Wrong!!! Perhaps, if I had a need to frequently re-adjust the pad's position then, of course, the Velcro would be insufficient. But, I have not had such a need and the pad is firmly attached.Not only is the pad supportive, but the frame is very firm and is shaped to provide the bulk of the support that I need.I think it would be a mistake to frequently move this device from one location to another. Under such conditions, I can see where the durability of this device might be diminished. Instead, It might be a better idea to purchase another device.

I can only rate the Obus Forme Orthopedic Low Back cushion for its short term performance in the purpose for which I purchased it after several recommendations. I bought this product to relieve stress on my SI (sacroiliac) joint in which I have developed sacroilitis or the inflammation of the SI joint, and the low-back pain associated with it. I found several recommendations across the Internet stating that this product and the associated Ergonomic Seat could help. I received the seat and the back one day and tried them out in my computer chair at home and was very uncomfortable. The next day I tried them together in my car seat and in addition to the seat adjustments I had to make for the extra height and thickness, I was in more pain after my drive to work WITH the cushions, than without them. I returned them both the very next day, and bought a 2" memory-foam dining chair cushion for $13.00 which works better for my pain. I'm sure it probably would suit other purposes, but definitely not for my SI Joint pain!
