Fellowes Professional Series Ultimate Back Support

I have an Aeron chair, which still doesn't give me very good lower back support (never mind the sales pitch I got that they said it would) and after sitting for a few hours my lower back starts to feel it. I had previously purchased the mesh back type support, which was ok (and very cheap) but when the elastic gave out on the part which holds the support to the chair I thought I'd risk trying this padded version. I only got it as there was a second hand one (as new) for sale at half the price of a new one. The full asking price is very high to take a punt on. Anyway, I am very glad I did purchase it. I find it more comfortable than the mesh type support. The straps holding the pads to the chair are a lot better than a piece of elastic (so they should be for the price) and should be long enough and adjustable enough for any office chair. The three pads hit all the right spots for me.

This is a good product. I've been using for almost a month and I feel that it really does the job of supporting my lower back. I spend >8 hours sitting on a chair and I'm having some back pain. I'm happy that I've found this solution to my 5 year old office chair. The only problem I have with it is that it doesn't really maintain it's position and I have to adjust it regularly. My office chair has a high back rest so the straps are really tight and it deforms the top part so if you like to keep your chair in mint condition, please be aware of this fact.

My pillow is thicker, firmer, and provides more support than this product. I suffer from lumbar pain as a result of 2 herniated discs, and was therefore looking for a product that protrudes out of the bottom of the seat to ensure my back was always either straight or hyper extended, so that it couldn't flex at any point. This product doesn't help with any of those things, nor is it comfortable.

Really excellent product. Provides good solid lumbar support and is very comfortable to use. I found while at a previous office that the chair I was using was very uncomfortable (cheap, straight back) and cause me to have lower back pain most days. I purchased this and it completely solved the problem. The fact that it is compact enough to put in a rucksack is a big bonus too - it means I can take it with me, very useful as I do a lot of contract IT work so need to work in various different offices all the time. The quality of the product itself is very high - well-designed, good adjustable straps, no signs of wear after almost 9 months of use. Highly recommended.

It is a good back support addition to a chair, but the description is a tad misleading: it is NOT a chair with the back-support cushion device.

All I can say is that this product is brilliant. It hits the spot and provides support where it is needed most. I have tried numerous back support items over the years but to constant frustration have found none of them worked. This product is great because you can fix it permanently in place and it doesn't move. It is really comfortable and worth the extra money.

It feels well made and confortable, but in my chair, that has already an ergonomic design, the top padding just don't feel right. I even had to remove it because it caused me backpain! The chair in the picture doesn't seem to have an ergonomic curve so maybe in those chairs it works better...

I’m somewhat ashamed to admit that I purchased this thinking it was a chair. But once I put it on the not-so-great chair I was using, it was never going to be returned. It’s very good and helped with my sore back. It’s quite adjustable and I think will fit on a good variety of chairs.
