subject: The Truth Behind Back Support Cushions [print this page]


Most people spend hours and hours sitting in front of the desk doing paperwork and typing on their computers. Not a comfortable position. They are often asked to stretch, stand up and walk around a bit. However, it is hard to walk around when you need to fit your tight schedules and loads of paperwork. So, back pain is inevitable. The answer is simple - back support cushions. Studies show that using these cushions can reduce and prevent back pain.

Back pain usually means pain throughout the whole back, or sometimes it is just a sting in the neck, upper back, lower back or tailbone. This pain is often due to bad posture of prolong sitting. If wrong posture is left like that, it would cause chronic back pain which will manifest itself as burning sensation, dull ache or sharp sting. Back support cushions aim to reduce back pain by giving support and comfort to the lumbar region. It is made from a special foam which reduces the muscle stress and effectively distribute a person's weight, hence no area of the back is stressed. Some of these cushions can even feature a vibrating massager for instant relief of back pain.

These cushions can also prevent back pain by perfectly correcting the person's posture. Back support cushions are made of foam, which adjust to the contours of a person's back and is perfect for people who have scoliosis or have slightly different spinal formations. The back support cushion is simply placed on a person's chair as it accommodates to all builds and sizes.

Back support cushions can also be used for anything you can think of - car seats, dining chairs, folding chairs, essentially anything with a backrest. The cushions are usually made of polyurethane foams and covered by nylon fabric, which makes them sponge washable. Other materials include acrylic, olefin and polyester - all synthetic.

While most back support cushions were designed specially to bring relief and orthopedic support to the whole back, there are cushions available that cater only to specific areas of the back. This is ideal for people who have severe chronic back pain in a part of their back resulting from bad posture.

Though exercise, good posture and rapid movement is still the perfect way to reduce pain, well back support cushions are very helpful, especially for people who have hectic schedules and barely any time for exercise. It does a perfect job at "forcing" a person to correct his posture and reduce stress on his back, while at the same time boast comfort.
