SOUND FAMILIAR?
A fixed pad doesn't suit every back or every chair
Some lumbar pads sit too high or too low. The same cushion can also feel very different on another chair. Being able to try a different position is useful, although it doesn't guarantee a perfect fit.
Once the chair feels comfortably adjusted, you'll be better placed to judge whether a separate pad leaves enough usable seat depth.

Meet the movable central pad
Our adjustable lumbar support cushion combines a contoured memory foam backrest with a separate centre pad held by an adjustment strap. The movable pad gives you flexibility to explore a comfortable position. Adjust the pad gently and check that the cushion leaves enough usable seat depth.

BEFORE YOU BUY
Finding the right fit for your chair
A comfortably adjusted chair is a helpful starting point. The approximate overall size is 50 × 47 × 9 cm. Make sure the cushion doesn't push you too far forwards or force an awkward position. Gentle adjustments can help you find a comfortable position. If anything feels uncomfortable, stop using it and reassess the fit.

What the evidence means for adjustable lumbar support
Research suggests that a lumbar-support pillow can change seated lumbar posture, but the effect depends on the pillow, the chair and the person. A small controlled study found a modest posture change without a significant improvement in self-reported comfort.
The separate centre pad lets you personalise where the lower-back cushioning sits. Move it gently in small steps, keeping enough seat depth to sit back naturally. If a position feels uncomfortable, remove the cushion and review the fit before trying again.
