Description

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who makes this pillow?

Putnams designs specialist support pillows and cushions — this listing is part of that range.

What is it designed to help with?

Each model targets a specific need (neck, knees, elevation, seating). Match the product title and who-it-is-for copy to your sleep or sitting position rather than buying a generic hotel pillow.

How do I choose the right Putnams pillow?

Use our pillow finder or the benefit bullets on this page: pick by body area (neck, knee, back) and position (side, back, sitting).

Are covers washable?

Most Putnams covers are removable and washable — check the care line in the product details for this SKU.

Is it made for everyday home use?

Yes — sizing, fills and covers are specified for everyday home use. Delivery to the United Kingdom is shown at checkout.

When will it arrive?

UK delivery usually takes 2–4 calendar days from ordering, including processing and weekends. Delivery is free on orders of £39 or more, or £5 below that. Check the estimated delivery dates beside the price for this item.

Can I return it?

Contact us within 14 days of delivery, then send the item back within a further 14 days. You pay change-of-mind return postage; we cover return postage for faulty, damaged or incorrect items. See our refund policy for full conditions, including inspection rights, hygiene-seal exceptions and refund timings.

What is this backrest used for?

This cushion is designed to provide additional lower back support when sitting in chairs such as office chairs or car seats.

How is the cushion attached to the chair?

The included adjustable strap allows the backrest to be secured to the chair so it stays in place.

Can the backrest be used in a car?

Yes. The cushion can be used in cars, office chairs and other upright seating.

Where is the backrest made?

The cushion is manufactured in the United Kingdom.

Where should lumbar support be positioned?

Position lumbar support at the natural curve of your lower back, approximately at belt level (L3-L4 vertebrae). It should fill the gap between your back and the chair without pushing you forward or causing you to hunch.
