MEDesign Backfriend (Single-padded, Sienna)

Just what my back needed. This was recommended by a retired physical therapist friend of mine who knows the condition of my back. It has saved me from a lot of discomfort. I take it everywhere. Specially movies, concerts, theater. Those seats are most generally horrible. Being able to sit for 2 hours in comfort is great. My wife bought one after she tried mine and takes hers every where too

Really supports my back. It's not bulky or heavy.

This back support is very well designed. Its portability is enhanced by a built-in handle. And it does provide relief when I'm sitting for hours at a weekly card game!

Would like a little more padding. Otherwise, it makes my back more comfortable in my overstuffed chair.

A bit expensive but promote good sitting posture.

I had before and it is very good for back pain

The seat and the back are both too narrow for most adult men. The overall quality appeared okay, but I had to return it because it was too small.

As someone with sciatic problems, I find most couches and chairs too soft and too deep. I also have an issue with pressure, so the conventional "just put a bolster in the small of your back" actually causes even more problems. The Backfriend solved both issues for me. I got the unpadded version, upon recommendation from the site, and it has been a savior of my back. It's firm enough to support me without too much pressure on any one point of my back. I am very glad I bought this.Within days of using the Backfriend, my lower back was pain-reduced enough that I could start my yoga again. With the yoga stretching and the support of the Backfriend, about 75% of my back pain has been removed. I just to ache after sitting on my couch for just 30 minutes or so. Now, I can watch an entire movie and still move freely. I am very, very glad I bought this.
