Fellowes Professional Series Back Support, Black (8037601)

I'm suffering from a lower lumbar injury and have been experiencing chronic pain for 10 months and it has gotten to a point that it's close to unbearable. I lose at least 3 hrs of sleep per night rolling around trying to get out of pain. I'm on a deadline to complete a work project and I've hardly been able to work at my desk. When this product arrived, I had been sitting at my desk for at least 6hrs straight and was coming into a lot of pain. I could hardly hold myself up. I unwrapped it immediately and put it on my chair, so easy and seems like it would fit any chair. Sat down and WOW! What a difference! The way that it aligned my posture and brought me into a position that is comfortable for working. None of the other similar products had an upper back cushion as well or the top strap to hold her up.. This is really helping to get my shoulders back. The cushion is such a nice spoungyness to lean back on and this completely rearranged my posture. You can adjust it higher or lower for your needs and no need to readjust it constantly from slipping around because the strap goes over the top as well as around the back and holds it in place. This product is well made, looks visually pleasing, seems it might be washable as it has some zippers on the cushions, is very functional and so I will also say that it's a good price for an item that's gonna save my back and help me get back to work so I'm not out of house and home soon. Do not hesitate to buy this product or think of ordering any other. Just look no further, seriously. I don't write reviews but I read tons of them before making a purchase and I want you to get out of pain too. Good luck!

I purchased my Fellowes Professional Series Back Support through the Amazon Warehouse (used-like new condition) to save a few bucks. It installed quickly on my Hon Ignition Task Chair, Black, which while a supportive, comfortable office chair - isn't the best on my back for long computer sessions.Playing with the placement of the back support straps and then cinching them into position takes a little time, and with this chair the fit isn't ideal, but truly I think it can be adapted to fit most office chairs assuming they are not 'manager or executive' types with extra tall or wide backs.Very little info comes with this item, but the best fit is achieved by moving it around until you feel comfortable. For me, that means the top-center cushion sits between my shoulder blades, about at 'bra strap level'. (Sorry... not sure how to put that any other way!)The lumbar support placed right in the small of my back above my hips pretty much gives me a perfect fit.POINT TO CONSIDER BEFORE PURCHASING: I'm 5'6" and of average weight. I think this product would be a good one for most people 5'4" - 5'8", but taller or shorter folks may not find the fit to be as good. There is no way to increase or diminish the space between the two padded areas.The pads can be removed from each section of the back support, and the cover (with straps attached) can be hand washed or machine washed on low.I am pleased I decided to purchase this product for added comfort while spending extended hours at my desk. It provides me with support for a more comfortable spine alignment, which in turn removed the need for me to get a lift for my feet for proper ergonomics.Nice design, well made, feels good (not too hard or too soft) and will fit different sizes of office chairs via easy strap adjustments.I recommend it!

I badly injured my lower back and am still adjusting to living with constant pain. Sitting at my desk all day was agony until I got this back support cushion. The other supports I tried did not work. I was at the point of frustration and resignation when I decided to give the Fellowes support a try and I am so glad I did. I worked all day yesterday with minimal discomfort. It fit on my desk chair, stayed in place and is unobtrusive. What worked for me was the small upper back cushion just above the lumbar support. I was able to maintain proper posture and support for my entire back. What a relief! No, it did not cure my back, nothing apparently will, but I can work now without the despair and worry that I had before the Fellowes!!! I am going to order a second one to see if I can get it to fit my car seat!

I've used this for a few months now, and I really like the lower lumbar support. My back was almost entirely convex against the back of my old desk chair, and this has really helped straighten out my spine and help me sit up straighter and reduce back pain/fatigue. My desk chair has a high back that comes all the way to the top of my back and attached arm rests at the sides, and this support still fits on it, so if you have a high-backed desk chair, it should fit fine. I like how I can slide the support up and down on the chair back to just where I like it.I did, however, end up tearing out the memory foam in the top triangular part of the support (there's a zipper that allows you to access the foam, but I still had to rip it out in two pieces to finally remove it). That part was just awkward and never felt right no matter what I did. It was too high and narrow and just dug into my spine. It's a lot comfier with that piece gone.
