Sit back into fuller support on long days at your desk.
This structured back support cushion is designed to provide stable lower back support while sitting at a desk, in the car, or during travel. The contoured design helps create a more comfortable upright sitting position without collapsing into the seat.
Unlike soft cushions that compress under pressure, this backrest maintains its shape thanks to a supportive foam structure and a firm internal board. This allows the cushion to provide consistent lumbar support throughout the day.
The backrest can be easily attached to most chairs using the included adjustable strap. This keeps the cushion positioned correctly whether you are working, driving or relaxing.
The cushion includes a removable velour cover available in black, blue, grey or beige.
