Does a lumbar cushion work?

Yes. A lumbar cushion can provide effective support for the lower back by maintaining the spine’s natural curve and encouraging better posture.

This helps reduce strain on the muscles and ligaments, which can ease or prevent back pain during prolonged sitting. Cushions made from memory foam adapt to your body’s shape, offering consistent support throughout the day.

Which is better, gel or memory foam seat cushion?

Both gel and memory foam seat cushions can improve comfort and posture, but they work slightly differently.

Memory foam seat cushions mould to your body for even weight distribution and targeted pressure relief, making them great for long-term comfort. Gel-infused cushions add cooling properties, which help prevent heat build-up during extended sitting. The better choice depends on whether your priority is maximum cushioning or temperature regulation.

Are footrests good for your back?

Yes. A footrest helps improve posture by ensuring your feet are properly supported and your hips, knees, and ankles are aligned.

This can reduce pressure on the lower back, improve circulation, and encourage you to sit back in your chair with a straighter spine. Over time, this can help prevent or relieve back pain caused by poor sitting habits.

Where should a lumbar cushion be placed?

A lumbar support cushion should be positioned so that it sits in the small of your back, filling the natural curve of your spine. This placement supports proper posture by keeping your lower back slightly arched and your shoulders relaxed.

When seated, your hips should be pushed to the back of the chair, with the cushion providing gentle but firm support against your lower back. This ensures even weight distribution and reduces strain during prolonged sitting.
