Lumbar Support Cushion

A lumbar support cushion can help prevent and alleviate lower back pain which can occur if you sit for long periods of time in the same position, such as when working at a desk or driving.

The lumbar region is the area of your back which is the most flexible and supports the most weight. It is important to support this area of your spine to keep it in its natural shape. Slouching or slumping forward in your chair is a major contributor to future back problems, so investing in special lumbar support is a good idea.

Foam Lumbar Support Cushion

Foam lumbar cushions mould to the shape of your back, filling in the space between the naturally curved part of your lower back and the seat. They are very beneficial in keeping proper posture and preventing aches, pains and muscle fatigue.

Inflatable Lumbar Support Cushion

Inflatable cushions are great for travellers. Although they generally don’t provide the same level of support as a foam cushion or pillow, they can’t be beaten for convenience on the move.

Wedge Cushion

Wedge cushions are good for drivers and are available shaped in different angles. Some models have a cut-out in the seat area to reduce pressure on the coccyx (tailbone). These are particularly helpful for people who have injured their coccyx at some point in their lives, since sitting is often very uncomfortable for them.

Lumbar Massage Cushion

Not all lumbar support cushions have plain surfaces, some are produced with shaped areas designed to massage your back as well as support it. These normally consist of regularly placed ‘bumps’ of material or air pockets. They are said to improve circulation and reduce muscle stress, also in they allow air to circulate around your back, reducing heat build-up.
