Product details
This compact backrest cushion is designed to provide supportive lower back comfort when sitting for extended periods. Its structured design helps maintain support for the lumbar area while working, driving, or travelling.
The cushion features supportive foam with a firm internal board that helps the backrest keep its shape instead of flattening into the seat. This allows the cushion to provide consistent support whether used on an office chair, dining chair or car seat.
A removable adjustable strap allows the backrest to be secured to most chairs, helping keep the cushion positioned correctly throughout the day. The compact size also makes it easy to carry when travelling.

Yes. The compact size makes it suitable for use in car seats, especially for longer journeys.
How does the strap work?
The adjustable strap allows the backrest to be attached to most chair backs so it stays in position while sitting.
