The back support that IS back-shaped

(if you prefer a briefer description,
use this back support link)

• Government Research shows that a separate back support on your seat can reduce or even eliminate back pain.
  
• BackShape was scientifically developed by qualified ergonomists and a human biologist.
  
• BackShape is a better back support, effective and uniquely comfortable - or your money back.

BackShape eases you from this... to this....   You can see that because it is the right shape, all your back is supported. The large contact area means that pressure on the skin is low, so blood flow is maintained and discomfort does not build up. The low contact pressure also means that we can use a softer foam...

	BackShape's ultra-dense foam core has many tiny cells, formed in a super-soft urethane polymer,
	so it can absorb localised indentations, like clothing creases, for maximum comfort. In combination with the stretch fabric cover , this further reduces peak pressures (which are the primary factor in skin-level discomfort).
	The high foam density means that although it is soft, it still provides effective back support, over the whole of the back.
	Clinical trials were run, to test whether the design was effective and comfortable. Independent volunteer back-pain sufferers reported daily back pain reduced by 44% on average, when they used BackShape back supports for a week. Half the volunteers found their back pain reduced by 80% or more. Details...

Effective on most vehicle, public and office seats...

BackShape can transform your office chair, often it makes more difference than buying a new chair. The strap locates securely around the seat back.	In vehicles BackShape hangs from the head restraint pillars, at any height you set. It's neat, stays in place, and fits between the bolsters. See this page if you have sports seats.	Use without straps for better back support on trains, boats and planes.	Works on dining chairs,	and in your garden.
