OPTP The Original McKenzie Lumbar Roll Low Back Support for Office Chairs and Car Seats - Standard Density

Product Information

Memory Foam: Most lumbar support pillows are made with memory foam because it’s the perfect blend of soft and firm support. You should note, though, that memory foam’s overall firmness changes with the temperature: colder air will make it firmer, and warmer air will make it softer, while room temperature is best for medium support.

Material: Memory foam | Positioning Straps: No | Shape: Oblong | Care Instructions: Machine washable cover, dryer-safe innerMaterial: Memory foam | Positioning Straps: Yes | Shape: Wedge | Care Instructions: Machine washable cover Quality and Durability: Memory foam typically lasts a long time, but a removable, washable cover will extend the life of your pillow, allowing you to keep the exterior clean. If you’re looking for a higher quality pillow, consider one with breathable mesh to keep you cool or multiple adjustable positions for versatility.

All of these can be affected by many things including age, tiredness, a medical or physical condition, medicines, sight and cognitive ability. Consider how all these factors will be affected by, and will affect, your use of the chair. As well as comfort, it is important that you consider safety when choosing a chair. Less effort is required to stand up from these chairs than from manual seat lift chairs, but the action tends to be much slower. It is important you have the ability to re-adjust your position as the chair rises. If your feet are not positioned correctly you may lose your balance when the chair is in the raised position.

Chair cushion with lumbar support

The Coccyx Wedge cushion has been designed to help improve posture and offer relief to those who suffer with a tender coccyx. Used in conjunction with an additional lumbar support or cushion, many people can achieve a good working position with this wedge.

The armrests should be at least the same length as the seat. If they project further forwards to give more support when standing, the front legs of the chair should be splayed. The seat should be wide enough to allow you to sit comfortably whilst reading, writing or knitting, but narrow enough to enable you to make use of the armrests. Ideally, it should be the width of the widest part of your bottom/hips plus approximately 5cm (2in) on either side.

High quality comfort and support

Although vinyl can be cleaned easily, it tends to be slippery and can cause sweating. A sheepskin cover is soft and warm and will absorb moisture; it also allows the air to circulate so that you do not become too hot. For people who have continence problems, there is a choice of upholstery that is waterproof and has an attractive finish.

If you struggle to get on/off a chair, you may also be experiencing difficulty transferring to/from a toilet. You may benefit from a grab rail on the wall by the toilet, a raised toilet seat or a seat and frame over the toilet. This classic lumbar roll (or lumbar support) provides good depth, which is beneficial is you have a pronounced inward curve and need robust support. It comes in three different styles, all of which are light and easy to carry around.To measure the height of the seat of your current chair, make sure you do this when you are sitting in it, taking into account the amount that the cushion or seat compresses. The seat height of a well-used older chair with softer cushions is likely to be significantly lower. If you are using a walking frame, do not pull yourself up on a walking frame or another piece of furniture as they are not secure. Only reach for a walking frame once you are in a stable upright position.
