Back Pain will be Gone with the Anywhere Back Comfort Lumbar Cushion!

Filed under: , ,

Y’all, I love this thing! Seriously, I sit for way too many hours a week. I sit while working, I sit on planes, I sit in the car…and I’m ALWAYS uncomfortable. The human body wasn’t meant to be seated for so long, and it shows in the increase in back pain sufferers we’ve seen since office and desk jobs became the norm. Like many sufferers, most chairs and seats don’t seem to be made for my height and back curve, and there’s always this weird gap that creates discomfort around my upper and lower back after just a few minutes of sitting. At home, I can easily fix the problem without worrying about looking ridiculous propped up on a few pillows, but not looking weird in public is somewhat important to me, which is why I have been so sad about the ginormous bed pillow behind me in the driver’s seat of my car. And now, with the portable, memory foam-filled Anywhere Back Comfort Lumbar Cushion, there’s an answer for all of us suffering from back pain in public places!Unlike other back pads, the Anywhere Back Comfort Lumbar Cushion isn’t just a single, thin pad, it’s two strategically-placed, extremely plush tubes that are attached to each other and can conform to fill gaps between chairs and your back. It can be placed vertically or horizontally, and is easy to attach anywhere with the included velcro strap. The memory foam inside really does an amazing job of relieving the pressure that builds up, and best of all, it doesn’t look ridiculous!

The Anywhere Back Comfort Lumbar Cushion is easy to take along with you anywhere because it rolls up into a smallish 3 x 9 x 3″ package, so it can fit into my backpack if need be. While it’s remained in the driver’s seat of my car since I first got it, I can’t wait to take it with me on my next plane trip! If I worked in an office, I would totally use it there, but since my office is my kitchen table, I’ll just keep my pillows there for now, until I can justify splurging for a second one.

Unlike my previous pillow, which my hubby would just chuck behind him whenever it was his turn to drive somewhere, making it look like I frequent the backseat for naps, the Anywhere Back Comfort Lumbar Cushion can stay in place without bothering users who don’t need it for their backs. So if you share an office chair, it’s ideal because it’s not cumbersome or unattractive – your chairmate may even find that they feel more comfortable sitting down, too, so be careful of people trying to steal your Anywhere Back Comfort Lumbar Cushion!
