Let's Talk Lumbar Support Cushions

One of the most fragile parts of the human body is the lumbar area

. So obviously you need to have enough support for the area, especially when you are putting stress on it, like sitting or lying down. A lumbar area that is unsupported will cause back pain, neck pain, headache and even fatigue due to lack of sleep. These pains will in time affect your daily activities. The answer to these problems is simple - lumbar support cushions.

Lumbar support cushions are a kind of pillow designed especially to support the lower back (lumbar area) and to remove the discomforts of bad posture. The cushions contains foam filings and even fabric coverings. The most common fillings used are polyurethane foams and the most common fabric is nylon. Fibers and fabrics made of polyester, acrylic and olefin are also commonly used. These materials can be colored so the cushions can also be used for decorating chairs.

Most lumbar back support cushions are flexible so no matter what position the back shifts to, the cushions will follow. The pain of staying in an erect position is therefore taken away. These cushions are lightweight and easy to carry around. Many cushions today are ergonomic, fitting almost perfectly to the lumbar.

There are many designs for lumbar support cushions. These designs vary according to the type of chair they will be used on. Thick lumbar back cushions are for wide-backed chairs while thin cushions are for narrow-backed chairs. Common cushions fit regular chairs like those used in desk jobs, offices, or dining rooms. There are specialized lumbar cushions for car seats. These are usually smaller since they need to fill smaller spaces only.

Inflatable cushions are one of the newest designs. These cushions can be adjusted depending on a person's preference. They are have soft cotton tops and are washable. They are ideal for traveling by car, plain, ship or any vehicle.

Because you'll be using these cushions almost anywhere, getting used to them won't be a problem. You don't have to constantly adjust to different kinds of orthopedic cushions when you only use one. The comfort brought by lumbar support cushions instantly bring relief from back pain by guiding the person's back into a comfortable, yet suitable sitting position that frees up the joints and muscles from excess pressure.

Lastly, because the cushions are the simplest orthopedic cushion of them all, it is also relatively more affordable than other cushions. If you decide to get other cushions, then it is up to you; but if you haven't try out these orthopedic cushions yet, then getting the lumbar support cushions would be great.
