How thick is the Thin version of the Back-Huggar at its thickest position? In-other-words, how far will it push me away from the seat?

I don't have a caliper to accurately measure this tricky curving solid, but I would guess it's no more than 1.5", possibly less, in it's thickest dimension. But "how far will it push me away from the seat" is a different issue, and depends on how the Back-Huggar's contours fit onto your chair--different if it's a straight back from if it's a curved surface. At any rate, I don't find this to be a significant issue.

The back part of the seat is pretty hardy/thick. If you're looking for a slim backing this one will probably be too big.

hi Onlymomma, it's the size and dimension of a standard bucket seat of a car if this helps? I can use it comfortably on my reclining sofa, it fits well. It has tightening straps both up and down as well as horizontal. This is what I can say about it. I don't have a tape measure handy (nor handy with a tape measure). about 2-3 inch thick except where the motors are, which are round but unlike most message chairs, it's not painful to either sit on or lay against.

Mine is much thicker than that. Since it is inaccessible right now (it's in long-term storage), I can't give you an actual measurement, but I'd guess it is at least 4.5" thick. I find it firm and yet very comfortable.

I actually ordered a more squishy one based on another reviewer's advice, but returned it as the original seat was comfortable to me. My daughter and friend also had no complaints. I weigh less than 150lbs, so don't know if that is a factor.

At it's thickest part, it is approx 4-5 inches but it curves in where it cushions the back.

I am using mine In my trailer on a fold out bed and that mattress is also pretty thin. My guess is 2.5" thick. It does the trick for my mattress but I have to remove it after sleeping and I will never again get it back in the bag it came in, it really puffs out once it is removed from the bag.

A little under an inch, I use it with the toddler mattress and have had no problem, you could always roll a blanket next to it to avoid contact

I sit most days at work as well as drive while wearing it. You do wear it low, but I haven't had a problem with it slipping up. I wear it under my clothes, not over. If I wear it over my clothes, I found it slipped more easily. You might try watching a Youtube video to be sure you are placing it correctly around your back.

As I recall (i returned it didn't like it at all) it fills out about 2" thick. Wasn't at all comfortable compared to the self - inflating therapist back pad I got instead which I've traveled with extensively since it's purchase 2 years ago...including on a 19 hour flight to S. Africa.

The separate piece of foam inside the cover is 1" to 1.25" thick, as-stated by several others. I will add that it's medium-density, at best, and thus compresses very quickly and doesn't provide that much support. Better than nothing? Yes. Could it be better with thicker or higher-density foam? Definitely!I have a garden kneeling pad that's approximately the same thickness, but much more dense and rubber-like. If I were to cut a piece out of that and put it inside the cover, I'm sure it would be much more comfortable!

Elizabeth, may I ask how it's working out for you - IF - you are using this? I am very petite also, and am wondering how it will work, especially since it's pre-tied in the back? (if I'm not misunderstanding descriptions ;)Any further explanations and tips about how it works for you, would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you in advance! Blessings... :)

At the widest part in the back it is 3 inches, but in the front it is only 2 inches. The fabric also has a fair amount of give to it, so I can't imagine it would dig into your skin. Hope that helps.

It is about 2" thick when inflated. I started having a lot of pain from my hips pivoting the wrong direction. I never had this happen before and my skin started breaking down. I had to stop using this cushion and replaced this with a cushion from SpanAmerica which better met my needs.

I assume you mean thickness along the spine. With the exact number escaping me, about 1/6th of an inch. Pretty darn thick.

I would definetly NOT CUT you beaded seat!! All the wooden beads are on fine strings, and I fear your entire seat would unravel! Try tucking the seat up under the back section, holding it in place with some heavy thread. This would make the back section thicker, but would also give you added lumbar support. It's worth a try. Hope this helps! Charles M. Burr

It's about an inch thick. Doesn't seem like much, but it has helped my back a lot due to my five-year mattress that has lost its shape. A definite improvement. I place it on the mattress, then cover it with a protective lining ( I have pets) prior to placing my sheets down.
