Long stretches behind the wheel or at a desk pull the lower back out of its natural curve. This lumbar support sits against a car seat, office chair or wheelchair and holds that curve for you, using a firm curved frame rather than a soft cushion that flattens under load. It suits anyone who spends hours at a time sitting. The frame is powder-coated mild steel in a 'D' shape, wrapped in a contoured open-mesh back of polyester knotless net. The mesh lets air move behind you, so you don't build up heat against the seat on a long drive. A secure attachment strap holds it on the seat rather than shifting around as you move. The standard model measures 380mm wide, 420mm high and 100mm deep, which fits most car and office seats. A heavy-duty version in the range adds a deeper 130mm lumbar projection for firmer support, and an optional polar fleece cover stops buttons and clothing catching on the mesh.

Run the attachment strap around the seat and fasten it so the support holds its position. Adjust the height so the lumbar curve sits at about your beltline. It is a seat support, not a brace worn on the body. Care and storage Wipe the frame and mesh with a damp cloth. The open mesh dries quickly. Store it flat or upright, away from direct heat. Common questions Is it worn on the body? No. It straps to a car seat, chair or wheelchair, so it is a seat support rather than a brace you wear. What size seats does it fit? The standard frame is 380mm wide and 420mm high, which suits most car and office seats. Measure your backrest first if space is tight. What is the difference between standard and heavy duty? The heavy-duty model has a deeper lumbar projection, 130mm against the standard 100mm, for firmer support. Call 03 5443 2239 to check current availability.
