I'm considering using a back cushion because I'm spending a lot of time sitting on desk, and I tend to bend my back and sit crossing my legs which is a very bad habit, so having a cushion can help relieve some of the results of my wrong habits.

I guess I do need to start using a back cushion. :inno:


1- Do you receommend any brand?

2- which one is better: foam, gel, air, or other?

3- Any other suggestions or advice?

I might get it from amazon, so if you recommend something medical rather than commercial, please let me know.

4- Should I use a tush cush too?

Is it useful for the back, or just useful for comfortable seating?



Many thanks. :)

You should use it to maintain a normal & healthy posture. As with your current posture you might develop not only pain but also other more distressing conditions such as joints problems & eventually an abnormal position of the back

About what brand & type, someone else who has used such products can advise you better

Best of luck :)

Thanks Hitman for the quick reply. :)

I hope to hear some suggestion soon.

work has been done to see the difference between teh foam and gel cushions.
however, there is no evidence for which one is better. There was a suggestion that gel cushions are better for heavy individuals.
