When you get a new office desk you have all the office chairs in the world to choose from. When you buy a new car, you usually have none. It will have several adjustments, but if you can’t make it comfortable, you have to buy an aftermarket solution, and these mostly consist of flimsy cushions and lumbar supports. And some of us spend all day in our cars or vans.
I’ve written a guide to car seat set up but as with all things sometimes we get to the point where the conclusion is that the chair is just not suitable for an individual and we have to look for an alternative.
The best add on for a car on that i’ve seen so far is Ergodriver. It is the only back support that can be individually adjusted to suit your postural needs without resorting to replacing the entire seat.
Made in the UK from high quality breathable fabrics it fits in place over your existing seat. There is a choice of up to 5 lumbar support cells which you place exactly where you need them, and these can each be adjusted by pumping in air to provide the exact amount of support you need.
The Backfriend also offers excellent support. You can’t adjust the amount of support it provides as you can with the Ergodriver and it probably won’t suit larger built people but it is robust and foldable so can easily be carried and used on pretty much any seat.
