Best seat cushions to support your body

We're starting strong with the Feargar Seat Cushion. This memory foam cushion is built to support you. Not only does it give reinforcement in all the right places, but it also helps increase blood flow, which is great if you sit for long periods. Want to know the secret to the incredible back support? This seat cushion is ergonomically contoured, which helps distribute your body weight across the whole chair, reducing pressure on your lower back and tailbone.

Customer review: "After searching for weeks, I decided to buy this support cushion for my husband who has very serious mobility problems. Impossible to get up or sit down without help. This cushion is strong enough to support him without giving in (108kg.), and its orthopaedic design gives him all the comfort he needs. He uses it at home on his orthopaedic armchair, and on the car seat, when I drive him to a medical appt. It also gives him great support to stand out of the car. When he didn't have it, he had big problems to get out of the car. We have a Volkswagen car, with seats that are low and not easy to sit on or off. The cushion is very well made, and has an excellent cover fitted with a zip so that you can wash it."

Are you looking for a chair cushion that can be used in your home office and the car? If the answer is yes, then you'll love the Supportiback Gel Seat Cushion. It is made from 100% pure memory foam and has a breathable cover to help keep you cool and sweat-free when summer hits. Not only that but it has the perfect density in the cushion to redistribute weight and take pressure off for maximum comfort.

Customer review: "Wish I had this in my 20s, might have saved a lot of pain later. I can't work out why all chairs aren't built like this, with a coccyx cut out? I've only had it a few days but it's interesting the differences that can make already. What's strange is that while it enables you to sit straighter the shoulders naturally roll backwards, so in fact it can help with posture all along and naturally stretching out your shoulders. It's also pretty comfortable to sit on, the coccyx doesn't get compressed, so no hard chair, or slouching. So yes recommend. It's a little wide but that's natural. To support your leg it needs to reach slightly to the outside of your thigh. I'd suggest a board underneath if your chair is narrow to stop sides drooping so as not to damage the cushion. At the same time if doing that be aware not to sit too high with no foot support. Either way you can use this anywhere, it's quite firm so if the surface is large it supports itself .i.e. sofa, bed, floor. Don't wait."

Whether you're using an office or dining room chair, this Supportiback Lumbar Support Pillow, with extendable straps, is here to help. The viscoelastic memory foam moulds to your back, which helps provide the foundation you need for comfort when sitting in front of a laptop, computer or tablet. Plus, it's beneficial for everyone as it isn't too firm or soft.

Customer review: "This cushion is perfect for my wheelchair and very comfortable. I highly recommend if you suffer from lumbar pain. Has adjustable straps which makes it easy to be used on a manual and powered wheelchairs."

Find yourself slouching over your keyboard while answering emails? The FORTEM Seat Cushion not only helps you maintain good posture whilst avoiding pain on your coccyx, but it'll also give you that little lift. This option is super lightweight and portable, plus it's easy to clean and has a waterproof cover.

Customer review: "I was looking for a support pillow to ease my pain in my lower back due to a herniated disc which causes me sciatic pain. This pillow has helped a lot to ease my pain when sitting down. I have yet to use it while driving as I am unable to do so yet but I believe this will make such a difference when I am able to drive again. It is firm enough without feeling too hard & it feels well-made & not at all cheap. The size is right too, not too small & not too large that I would be unable to take it with me while travelling. This cushion is worth every penny and I definitely recommend it to anyone who is having trouble sitting for any period of time."

Widely recommended by doctors and physiotherapists, it's clear that doughnut cushions have many benefits. This ERGONOMIC INNOVATIONS Donut Cushion offers a medium level of firmness to alleviate painful conditions while remaining durable and supportive. If you struggle with back pain, you'll find the carefully considered coccyx cut out particularly useful.

Customer review: "My hubby’s GP recommended a doughnut cushion as he has serious back issues and is particularly susceptible to pressure sores. I had a good search through all the options available and decided on this one. I’m really pleased I did. The cushion is really lightweight and covered in velour making it soft and comfortable. Its shape means there’s no pressure on vulnerable areas and it does sit you in a well-supported position. Since it arrived my hubby has used it everywhere, even on the sofa and his mobility scooter. I had a sit on it and it is really comfortable. The underneath of the cushion has a nonslip finish and it really doesn’t move at all once you are sat on it. My hubby is very happy with it and it really seems to have helped. His skin is no longer under pressure and red thus reducing his risk of ulcers and he feels his back pressure has also reduced. You can remove the cover for washing and the hole in the middle is 16cm x 8 cm so not too big but big enough to do its job. So if you are looking for similar protection then I would recommend this cushion without hesitation."

Seat cushions for posture don't have to be boring and basic - this option from Tumaz proves just that. With nine different colours to choose from, this balance cushion is easy on the eye. Not only will this reduce any aches and pains you might have, but it also boasts incredible benefits for posture and core strength.

Customer review: "Such a simple concept, a few minutes every day improves your balance and core strength. It's helped me no end as I suffer with knee and ankle issues, allows me at +60 to still play weekly football with friends who are 30 to 65."

Thanks to the high density memory foam inside, the FORTEM Chair Cushion is adjustable to the contours of your body. It has two cushions to ensure your back and your tailbone area are supported and comfortable at all times. The back pad has a stretchy elasticated strap so it can fit most chairs while the seat pad has a non-slip rubber grip bottom to stop it from sliding about while you're sitting on it.

Customer review: "I am very impressed with this set of support cushions as they help support my seating area and back at the same time. There’s no more painful lower back and upper shoulder pain. Both cushions complement each other, although can be used separately. The memory foam is of great quality without being too soft or too hard. Both cushions are comfortable and relaxing whilst retaining their shape, even after hours of sitting down! The sizing is just right without the seat being too big and the velour covers adds that extra touch of luxury. I previously returned a cushion as it failed the sizing test of being smaller than this and the comfort factor of being too soft that it offered very little support.
Very please with my purchase."
