How it works

Support that fills the gap.

Two moving panels and a cushioned pad fill the space behind your lower back, so you sit supported for hours.

The gap, filled.

Most seats leave a gap behind your lower back. Here it is from the side.

  1. Two back panels Each moves with its own side of your back, with open cut-outs for air.
  2. Lumbar pad Fills the curve of your lower back. A spare in another thickness is in the box.
  3. Strap One adjustable strap around the seat back.

    2 panelsthat move with your back

    Two independent panels

    Each back panel moves with its own side of your back, so you stay supported when you reach for a cup or check a mirror. Car or office chair.

  2. The Seat Support on its own: two cream perforated back panels with open cut-outs above two brown lumbar pads

    Cushioned lumbar pads

    Quilted pads hold the curve of your lower back. Want more or less support? Swap in the spare cushion in another thickness.

    One adjustable strap loops behind the seat back and stays put as you climb in and out. No batteries, nothing to charge. Car, truck and SUV seats.

How to use it

Five steps for every drive.

Set it up while parked. It takes less time than adjusting your mirrors.

On in about 10 seconds

  1. Man in the driver's seat with the two-panel Seat Support behind his back

    Step 1: Strap it on

    While parked, loop the strap behind the seat back and pull it snug. Keep it clear of seat controls and side-airbag seams.

  2. Close-up of the Seat Support panels and lumbar pads on a light office chair

    Step 2: Pick your cushion

    Try the cushion it comes with. Want more or less support? Swap in the spare.

  3. Man driving with the two-panel Seat Support on his car seat

    Step 3: Sit all the way back

    Slide your hips to the back of the seat. Each panel settles against its side of your back.

  4. Hand pulling the seat bar to slide a car seat one notch forward

    Step 4: Readjust your seat

    Move the seat forward a notch so the pedals feel the same. Then check your mirrors and seatbelt.

The research

Why support helps you sit

Support where your back curves makes long hours in the seat easier. An X-ray study in the journal Spine showed why.

  • Your natural curve, keptlumbar support held the lower back's curve while sitting

    Support behind your lower back helps it hold its shape while you sit: the posture your back is built for.

    Andersson et al., Spine, 1979: X-ray study of lumbar support while sitting

Fill the gap, and climb out of the seat with less stiffness.

Good to know

Still unsure? A real person answers every email within 1 business day.

Will it fit my seat?

It fits most car, truck and SUV seats, and office chairs with a backrest. Not sure? Send us a photo of your seat and we'll tell you before you buy.

My seat already has lumbar support. Do I use both?

Yes. Dial your seat's own lumbar support down first, knob or air, then let the Seat Support fill the gap. Fine-tune with the spare cushion.

Can I try it risk-free?

Yes. If it doesn't suit your seat, keep it and we refund you anyway. Or send it back within 90 nights, even used, with a free label.

Is it safe to use?

Yes. Fit it while parked, then readjust your seat and mirrors. Keep side-airbag seams clear. Bulging or herniated disc? It is gentle, passive support, with no heat, vibration or traction: start with the thinner of the two cushions. Pregnant, recent back surgery, or a numb foot or weak leg that is getting worse? Check with your doctor first. Safety guide

Can I use it on an office chair?

Yes, on any chair with a backrest tall enough for the strap. Many people move it between the car and the desk.

How do I find the perfect position?

Try both cushions, and slide your seat forward a notch so the pedals feel the same. Most people find their sweet spot in a minute.

Will it help me sit up straighter?

Yes. It fills the gap behind your lower back, so sitting all the way back takes no effort and your back has something solid to lean on.
