What the AI looks for in Lumbar Pillows
- Use case
- Decide whether it is for a chair or car seat (contoured, strapped), for lying in bed (low-profile roll) or for decoration These are sold under the same name but are not interchangeable.
- Thickness
- It should fill the gap between your lower back and the seat back without pushing you forward A cushion that is too thick tips the pelvis and shoulders forward.
- Securing strap
- Prefer an adjustable strap for chair and car use Without one the cushion slides down out of the lumbar curve.
- Foam
- Prefer memory foam over fiberfill, ideally CertiPUR-US certified Fiberfill collapses under constant back pressure.
