DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
Finding a comfortable spot for your yarn projects
- You might work in an armchair, a dining chair or wherever there's good light.
- Some people use several pillows before they find a position that feels right.
- Pair lower-back cushioning with comfortable arm support for crochet and knitting.
Support for your project and forearms can be just as useful as comfortable contact with the chair back.

A little more padding behind you
Our back support for crocheting offers contoured foam padding and a moveable central pad for compatible chairs. It's one way to make a familiar sitting spot feel a bit more comfortable, especially when you sit back between rows. You'll still want your arms well supported and your materials within easy reach.

FINDING YOUR FIT
Your favourite chair may need measuring
The backrest shape is a useful place to start when considering the fit. Our cushion measures approximately 50 × 47 × 9 cm. Deep soft sofas and reclining armchairs vary a lot, so a freestanding cushion may not sit securely in every one. You should be able to move and change position comfortably.
Choose a chair that holds the cushion securely and leaves room to sit back naturally.

RESEARCH & PRACTICAL ADVICE
What the evidence means for crocheting and knitting
Crocheting and knitting often involve holding work in front of you and changing between upright and slightly forward-leaning positions. Extra back cushioning may be useful when you sit back, but it will not provide contact while you lean away from the backrest.
Direct clinical research on lumbar pillows for crocheting is lacking. You may find it helpful to explore comfortable chair and cushion positions, with support for your arms and opportunities to move between tasks.
General sitting research: Sitting behaviour and low-back pain; no product-specific therapeutic benefit is established.
Designed to add adjustable lower-back cushioning to your everyday chair. Choose a position that feels comfortable for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this cushion while crocheting?
Yes, it may be suitable for your chair if it has a stable backrest and enough seat depth. Please check dimensions first.
Is it suitable for knitting too?
It can be considered for knitting in the same way, provided the chair fits and you can move your arms freely.
Does it support my arms?
The cushion supports the area behind your back. For your arms, suitable chair arms or a separate pillow may be more helpful.
Will it stay in place on my sofa?
The fit depends on your sofa's shape and softness. A stable backrest with enough room gives the cushion a better chance of sitting securely.
What's the total price?
The price is £39.99, which includes free standard UK shipping.
