Cool concept, just didn't work for me

I gave myself a month before writing this, I sit on this posture correction pillow almost every day. My first impression was that it didn't help at all with sitting posture. Even when I sat on the "wings" according to the instructions, I didn't see much improvement in my posture other than the slightest nudge of the tailbone forward. After a few tries, I found that I could improve my posture a bit if I pushed my tailbone back even further, basically as far back as possible towards the back of this pillow. This seems to gently tilt my lower back forward just enough to help me assume a more upright position. But the problem is that I can never hold it in that position for long and end up slipping back and forth into the slump. I also don't like that the edge or the fabric that's glued to the hard plastic on the other side is pretty sharp. The design is very cute, I like the angel wings. I love the concept behind it and that it's a fairly gentle posture corrector that doesn't force you into a specific position and you can place it in almost any chair. I think maybe the shape is too light and doesn't offer enough to get you in the right position for long or not at all. Playing with where you sit may give you some alignment. But for me personally, getting into the right position with it seems just as exhausting as just correcting my posture without it, which ultimately makes me pointless.

Pros
  • Everything was great!
Cons
  • Nothing here
