Is this better than a mesh? I recently went to chiropractor. They had mesh back supports on chairs. Looked flimsy bu I liked it! Can u compare the 2?

HiHave never tried the mesh support, but have been using this for many years. It is a life saver for me. I take it with me to lectures where there is a space in the chairs between the shoulder area and the seat. It fills up the gap and provides continual support. It is light weight to carry. I take it,to the movies if I am unsure about the chairs; also to restaurants and even on the train. Its permanent place is in the car. Sorry that I can't compare it to the mesh,ones.Good luck,Nancy

I have not used a mesh. Although it looks like a good shape it did not have the flexibility of moving the lumbar pillow. I have found that very important when moving it to different chairs. I also thought the mesh might slip in-between the seat back and seat of an office chair. Of course this item is softer and maybe a bit more comfortable.hope this helps.

The Obus Forme is working really well for me. I bought one for the car and one for the office chair. I've never tried mesh supports, so I can't speak to that.

This is fantastic. I had one before for several years and just bought this one which I use for the car and it has a lot of support.

This product is very firm. If you liked the "give" in the mesh and that was sufficient support, you might want to go with that. But if you felt you needed more support, this will hold up better over time.

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.

I have the pain reliever. Took a look at the pictures and don't see any difference between those two units. The unit works well for lower back pain. I also have an incline table , which by the way will decompress the whole spine, and find that I actually use the latter more than the nubax unit. However, if you don't have space the nubax unit takes less room. I do find the nubax unit difficult to get our of - the incline table is a bit scary until you get use to it. The trick is to not incline too much too fast. My chiropractor recommends the incline table and told me to start at a 5% incline and gradually increase it. Hope this helps I have the pain reliever.

Didn't find the product effective. Similar to an Ace lumbar wrap. If you are still interested, contact the maker. Believe his name is available on Amazon. You might look into a Therasage healing belt which I used for awhile. Now I've gone to a belt with magnets. It may be helping. Have you tried a chiropractor and a certified massage therapist. I'm really liking the Spoonk mat which I park at the back of a straight back chair and lean against the prickly spikes which simulate acupressure. You might also like the Nayoya (sp) which is less prickly. Good luck.

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.

I went to the manufacturers website. So you know, this isn't meant to "support" your posture and anyone that thinks a fabric item supports is looking at this the wrong way. It pulls your shoulders back to correct the problem some of us have with slouching forward and rolling our shoulders in. It worked for me to fix that but that was what I was looking for, not magical support from a fabric item.

Not true. This chair is mesh, just as described. There IS a version of this chair with a non-mesh seat. So, unless the person mistakenly ordered that one, he was shipped the wrong chair.

I want to ensure the "BOTTOM SUPPORT" of this seat is going to be comfortable for EVERYDAY USE, along w the "BACK Support". My child just turned 2 years old 4 days ago. He is custom & VERY use to His "Chairries/by JonTi-CrafT" but enough eating in living room!! Does anyone feel this Transition of not only The Cairrries but his own personal"Security, Stability, Safty" WILL BE MET BY THIS PRODUCT?

Hi Warren. Sorry but I don't know quite what you are asking. I bought this chair to make doing my daughter's hair easier. I don't have any other chairs as I am just a mom looking to save my back from bending over so much:-) If you can explain to me exactly what you want, I am happy to measure/eyeball, etc and get back with you.

Hi. The back of this one is hard plastic and curved upward for the small of your back (following the normal curvature of your spine). I like that, and find the flat padded backs on others not nearly as comfortable. The only drawback to this is that there is not a soft surface for the back of your head when using the machine. Would I buy this one again? You betcha.....and a bargain price with SUPER fast delivery from the company. Box arrived in good shape and simple to put together. Roger

Hello! Mine has a non-mesh seat back. It's more of a harder, form fitting foam. Like a car seat.

Seat comfort is key for me too after spine surgeries. Tried the Diamondback 910Sr but seat so shallow I could not stay on it - sliding off the front. The Spirit XBR55 seat was much better. The Spirit retails around $1,100 so, if in the budget, you may want to look at it.

Looks the same to me. I had to send mine back because it hurt my shoulders. Also you should not use this machine if you have had a back fusion.

Rock... well its not a rocking chair. Its built well over all, no backward motion in it if that is the question. As for extended use - I added another seat cushion, though for most that probably wouldn't be necessary. The extra cushion also adds a bit more height to the chair as I like to keep my workstation KB and Mouse platform a bit higher than the work table. Ive sat in it for hours a a time with no adverse issues... as I said in my rating description... love the chair! if you get one that doesn't have the seat back locking problem - I think most anyone would be very pleased ~~

The back is rigid. I don't know to answer the other question. It would depend on the chair. My experience with it continues to be the best I have ever tried.

There are better ones that support your back better. This particular one is okay. Pay more and purchase the more suportive one. One that you can put your arms in.

I have been sitting on one of these chairs for 8-9 hours a day, 5 days a week (at work), for a couple of years. I love it! It provides "active" sitting opportunities and my abdomen has become tighter as a result and my posture has improved. The padded bar you see pictured is not a backrest but more of a "grab bar" to assist in getting on/off the chair. There is not back support; no leaning back. My only complaint would be that the casters lock into place with just the slightest touch, like when my foot barely kicks one. Then I have to reach down and unlock it. Not really a big deal, but somewhat annoying. I have been sitting on one of these chairs for 8-9 hours a day, 5 days a week (at work), for a couple of years. I love it!
