Best Office Chair Lumbar Supports
Sitting for hours in an office chair can be gruelling on your back. If you find your back flagging in the afternoon or if pain intensifies the longer you're sat at your desk, chances are your lumbar region is not being given the support it needs.
Hunching over to squint at a screen, general bad posture and uncomfortable or unsuitable chairs will eventually cause the degeneration of the lumbar in the lower section of your back. Thankfully, by tweaking your office chair slightly with one of our Best Office Chair Lumbar Supports, you can drastically improve the health of your spine and your comfort level when at work.

- D-Shaped Lumbar Supports – D-shaped supports are ideal if you're sensitive to pressure
