Is it effective when used in sitting posture? I am thinking about using it in chairs (flights, office etc).

I don't think so. The point is to lay down on it so that all your weight is applied...

I guess it depends on your tolerance and how long you plan on sitting down. I have sat on it..but only for a few seconds. If you're comfortable and it feels okay go for it :)

If you have clothes on, you will not feel very much from the pressure points. Personally, I did not see any results using this mat and I do not think it was this particular mat. I laid on it without any layer of clothing between the mat and my back, neck, head and feet (i.e., various positions) for several months and saw absolutely no results. Many people had positive results but for me, it was a waste of money.

I would think so. However this chair is not a fix for posture when sitting, It is still possible to slouch when sitting in this and old habits do set in.

It doesn't correct posture permanently, it only helps. So I use it when my back is hurting to help. I will say it's the best one on the market. It just helps you from not hunching over.

I own a "ball chair" that does this. I bought one with a back which I don't like b/c I lean back too often defeating my good posture.

Just slightly but not looking into the air or anything. The design of this chair is great and i would recommend (getting it in the bag is a pain though). The fabric is breathable and there is no crazy tension across the bottom of your legs. The way the chair sits is to support good posture and it works well (i have scoliosis with 4 rods and 10 screws in my back) so posture is important. I'll add when my back hurts this is the chair i sit in. You won't regret it i promise.

I use it when I go out to eat, I use a small pillow for my back for stability. Each person using this chair will have different issues. You may want to ask your Dr.

My husband, who uses this chair, is also losing his ability to stay upright due to MS and/or Lyme disease. but the chair still works fine for him. It is rather narrow compared with US-manufactured chairs, so I think that helps in his case and possibly would for you. Also, if it were really an issue, I suppose you could use some kind of strap around our chest to hold you to the seatback. The benefits of this chair compared with all the other chairs out there on the market would outweigh whatever issues your minimal trunk control presents, which I would imagine would be a factor with any other chair out there that doesn't have an inbuilt strapping system. Hope that helps.

If I'm sitting on a chair yes, so I usually will sit criss-cross and then it works fine, its just not ergonomically correct. It does keep the computer remarkably cool so I think it is still worth it.

Kevin, so far I have had no problems, just good results. I have scoliosis pretty bad, and between physical therapy and using this lumbar support, I feel that it has helped me a great deal. After so many years of poor posture, this reminds me to sit straight. I hope this does well for you.

It's best used in a static situation so it you were cooking and in the same place for a while then I would say there is benefit. Just be aware this is more for leaning and not full sitting like a stool. Good luck.

Hello - This one is great for posture and if you don't like the bulky look of the whiplash collar - Still if there is a medical condition or cervical problem under treatment I would not recommend it as it is not intended for this type of use. It is more of a travel companion instead of the bulky collar pillow sold in the airport, its also great for working in the office and watching TV if one is concern on developing cervical problems in the future or after one has fully recuperated and wants to keep a healthy posture. Hope this helps

I love it in my chair in the living room. I wont sit on any chair without it. I do not know how it would be in a car. It may slide some on leather seats.

I use this only in my chair after a back injury. it is soft and comfortable and takes pressure off the spine. dont know if it will be effective in bed.

Yes, I have used it while lying in bed, resting it on my chest. You can also rest it on your thighs while seated, if you keep your knees close together. It has a multi-stage tilt adjustment that instantly adapts the page angle from almost vertical to almost flat.

It woks for me in my recliner and I find it very useful, but I suppose it depends on the space between the arm rests on your particular recliner. I was even able to use the little desk while my small dog was comfortably lying on my lap!

I use on on my office chair at work which has arms, but it also has an isolated back so it is easy to slip over just the back rest. I have also used it by just placing it on my lounge chair and leaning back into it. This works good also, but sometimes needs to be adjusted since it cannot be strapped in. Hope this helps.
