4.0 out of 5 stars bought six of these through the years, April 29 2007
By Haydn S. Shaw - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Obusforme Lowback Backrest Support (Black) (Health and Beauty)
the only product i've found thats better is the air filled obus forme that uses a pump.

they work:

i've used them for over ten years. I've traveled over a million miles carrying one.

i've not had trouble with the product staying in place even though it uses only one strap and they do make a light noises sometimes but they never bother me.

i colleague told me about them. i've told hundreds of people. my neighbor tried multiple products and borrowed mine to use in his car. he wouldn't give it back.

what i don't like about this model:

this model uses velcro to attach a foam pillow to the shell. that allows you to adjust the lumbar exactly where you need it even if the pad slips down between the back and seat of a chair. But the pillow gets smashed over time and is no longer useful, sometimes the pillow falls off, and over time the velcro on the pillow rubs the material on the shell until it will no longer adhere (just rotate the cover so the back is in front and there will be a fresh side to wear out). I lasts about two years.

I now purchase the version with a built in pump. It lasted me five years of heavy travel until i finally destroyed it. negatives of this model are that it costs a little more and doesn't have adjustment on position of the lumbar. If you need lumbar adjustment, get this one.

2.0 out of 5 stars It has good support but the materials were very annoying., Sep 17 2006

This review is from: Obusforme Lowback Backrest Support (Black) (Health and Beauty)
I recently purchased the Obus Forme Lowback Backrest, along with the Seat Cushion. Although I have heard people rave about the excellent support, and they felt comfortable enough to me, I can't give them more than 2 stars. The material used in their construction drove me to distraction. This is obviously a personal preference type of thing. Other folks may have no issues with the material at all. These are just my feelings on the matter:

I found the texture of the fabric to be a little rough and it didn't allow easy movement when sitting on/leaning against it, which would drive me crazy after just a few hours at work. Also, when making any movements, the compression of the foam, and the friction between it and the fabric covering, made really annoying noises. It reminded me somewhat of snow compressing down when walking on it. The Backrest was even worse than the Seat Cushion because it had a thin plastic wrapping (looked sort of like shrink wrap or Saran wrap) around the foam inside, which made loud crinkling noises every time I even twitched. It was awful! However good the science behind the backrest and cushion is, the sound effects and unpleasant texture were distracting enough, to me at least, to return both items.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too narrow, too hard, too bad, Dec 28 2007
By Bruno "Bruno" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Obusforme Lowback Backrest Support (Gray) (Health and Beauty)
I got this to help transform a set of uncomfortable truck seats into something I could use on long trips. Unfortunately it doesn't do it for me. I think that together with the seat pad this costs about $120 or more. Upon inspection I'd be surprised if anyone paid half that if they bought it in a store after checking it out.

In my case it was too narrow, the frame edges are felt and padding is pretty minimal. It must work for those with strange back ailments, but for me it didn't. It also lacked a good system for attaching it to a seatback, so you'd have to reposition it every time you use it.

A tiny person might get some use out of it but I can't imagine what's in it that costs so much to produce. It's a frame, foam and a cheap thin cover that looks like it'd wear through with time.

Thankfully Amazon accepts returns on these items. It seems to work for many, but it felt like I was sitting with an ironing board behind me. Literally.
