A lumbar support should fill the gap between the chair back and your lower back, rather than pushing your body forward. The main differences in design lie in thickness, rebound, and adjustment methods.
Mesh Type: Breathable and Elastic
Suitable for those who want to reduce stuffiness, but tension and contact feel can be affected by the chair back's shape and fixed position.
Memory Foam: Conforming, but mind the thickness
Slow rebound increases contact area; too thick might shorten seat depth, leading to insufficient thigh support.
Dual-Back and Butterfly Structures
Left and right sections can follow some movements, but the fixing strap, backrest width, and central gap must all be suitable.
Pneumatic Adjustment: Don't go to maximum support immediately
Start with the lowest support and gradually increase to allow your body to adapt; adjust only one variable at a time.
- Measure backrest width
- Check fixing strap
- Maintain usable seat depth
Lumbar supports are not medical devices; if you experience persistent pain, numbness, or restricted movement, please seek assessment from a qualified healthcare professional.
