    Very good for improving posture on uncomfortable surfaces

    This works well on uncomfortable wooden chairs posture killing low soft sofas. After spending decades on ergonomic computer chairs I find this very comfortable and reminds me to keep my shoulders back to improve my ability to breathe.

    I'm delighted with this back support.The one problem that could arise are the connecting straps between the back support and seat support.I got a spare set but I suggest a stronger connecting strapping system for frequent transportation from the car to chair use.Apart from that suggestion it's a fabulous seat.Would highly this product.

    Great back relief.

    I found the back friend great for supporting the lumbar area. I use it for driving and find it great so far, took a bit of time to adjust the seating position to a comfortable position with the back friend installed. The only negative is there isnt much side support while driving, I find when going around bends or round abouts my back slides a little side to side. Also the brackets holding the seat pad to the back pad could do with being reinforced. One side has broke already and I havent used it a week. For me it has definitely giving me great lumbar support.
