If you slouch while sitting at your desk for long periods or suffer from back pain after a long workday, a lumbar support pillow can make all the difference.
Are you slouching right now? If you’ve been sitting for a long period of time without proper lumbar support, you probably are. Slouching with your head and shoulders hunched forward puts strain on your entire body and especially your lower back. After several weeks of testing lumbar support pillows for office chairs, we think the Everlasting Comfort Memory Foam Back Cushion is the inexpensive, supportive, and comfortable cushion that will save your back.
The thick memory foam of the Everlasting Comfort Memory Foam Back Cushion is sturdy yet cushiony. The two adjustable, extendable straps make the pillow easy to position so that it hits the right spot for your lower and middle back on most chairs. A cover that you can easily remove for washing and a lifetime replacement guarantee offer peace of mind—this is a pillow that will support your back for years to come.

If the Everlasting Comfort is unavailable, consider the LoveHome Memory Foam Lumbar Support Back Cushion. From the quality of their mesh fabric covers to their overall dimensions, these two cushions could be twins (give or take half an inch in width or length). The main difference between them is that the LoveHome has shorter straps at its shortest setting, which makes it stay in place better on small chairs. (The width of chair backrests can vary by several inches; inexpensive task chairs and dining room chairs might be 14 inches wide, while “executive”-type office chairs are wider, measuring 17 to 19 inches.) The LoveHome pillow’s cover is difficult to remove—making it less likely you’ll wash the cover regularly—and you can get a replacement only within 60 days of purchase.
