Review on 🪑 RS1 Back Support Pillow by Relax Support – Lumbar Pillow for Chair Back Pain with ArcContour Technology and Unique Lateral Convex Shape for a Pain-Free Back by Evan Larson

Availability Like many here, I am a WFH during COVID-19 and find that my home office chair does not have lumbar support. I went to the internet to look for solutions. First I was looking for something small to fill the space behind the sacrum and buttocks. There is something like an open space for a chair that I used. This pillow fits. While it physically filled the space, it didn't really help provide additional support. It also pushed me forward in my chair, causing further discomfort. After a while I thought maybe I used it wrong. So I moved it to the lumbar area and that seems to have helped. But after 1 week of use I found it was causing other pain or even more pain. Upon examining the pillow, I found that it was an odd shape. It is wedge-shaped, with a large base at the bottom that tapers towards the top, like a slice of cheese. The base seems too thick for a lumbar support as nobody has a 3-4 inch curvature of the spine. Even if you lose an inch due to compression, it fills the space for spinal curvature and then some. loins outwards. While it supported my lower back, I was so far forward that I lost the chair's upper back support, causing fatigue in my shoulders/traps. Sometimes I want to lean back a bit to check my email and the pillow was just uncomfortable because it forced me into a weird slouched position with my stomach out while I was reclining. Over time, the pillow became a pressure point and became painful to use. My back became sensitive and I had to stop using it. I re-read the instruction manual, looked at the pictures and unless you are a person who sits very straight and only needs lumbar support and nothing else, with an unusually deep curvature of the spine, I may not understand how this pillow is helping . I was dying to get it working but had to send it back.
