has anyone used this pillow for a back support on a chair?

I found the BICOR Sciatic Saddle Pillow gave me more pain than comfort, and certainly "no gain" in relieving pain in any area of my body.No, it didn't help as a back support. I should have returned it.

It didn't help at all as seat cushion for my sciatica problem. I tried it as a back support it didn't help at all for my back.

I think it has good back support. We use it as a conference table chair and our clients like them. I'm not sure how supportive it would be for an all day type of desk/work chair.

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.

I do use it for my lower back, and have used it on a couch, a recliner, and a folding chair. As long as the office chair has a something to hold the pillow against your lower back, you shouldn't have a problem using it in an office chair. I haven't tried it while laying down, since it makes a loud clacking sound when too much pressure is put on it. I suspect that laying on it with my full weight might break the internal gears. The pillow is powered by 110V wall current, so there needs to be an outlet somewhere near the chair. I've used a heavy-duty extension cord with it. I haven't tried using it in an office environment yet. It does make a humming noise, and I don't know if the noise is loud enough to annoy coworkers in a cube farm.

This pillow is not firm enough to support your back. It is only sufficiently firm enough to support your neck.

I would have to say it's more for lumbar/back relief. But, maybe it's worth a try. If the back is straight and supported, then the rest of things usually fall into place too. I have a Tempur Pedic cushion to sit on for my office chair and it helps me in that department.

Not I - they're very, very good for use as pillows but lack the stronger support you would need as a back support. I've seen, at Pottery Barn, I believe, some very nice, up-scale 'study-buddies' that I think would work better for your needs.

It might, but the purpose for this lumbar pillow is to give support to your lower back. If you have achinghips, you might want to go to a ''Soft Touch'' Technique Chiropractor. Soak in some Epson salt, and rinse off afterwards. Call around to a Chiropractor in your area, and ask if they do that type of Modality/Technique in their practice, if they don't ask them if they know of one. Hope this helps. Truthful

Yes and there was not for me. I was okay with that because I just "Googled" it and found out it is recommended to use with a pillow to support your head. For the money I spent I am VERY satisfied with this purchase. On the occasions where my back is stiff, I can feel it "pop" as I lay to stretch it out. :)

I'm sorry but I have only used it to sit the back is strong enough to help you lift yourself up. I hope this helps

If your back problem requires you to keep your legs elevated then I think this pillow would work for you. My wife has lower back issues and this pillow allows her to sleep at night. She use to use a recliner as a bed until we got this pillow. She loves it and I have my wife back. Hope it works for you.

I actually put mine on top of two feather pillows (that do flatten quite a bit). I find it most useful though for sleeping on my side. It protects and soothes my neck. I can't live without a dog bone pillow.

I used 3 pillows. 2 pillows for the back and 1 pillow for the bottom. It worked well for me. Unfortunately the recliner broke so that's why I need a new chair.

I have used it as a head pillow but it doesn't really support my head like I would like, it isn't too thick it just isn't that firm, as a body pillow and for the price it's perfect. Hope this helps.

I found myself setting in one of these chairs in my Doctors office and found that it helped ease my lower back pain. On that experience I purchased one for myself. So, yes I find that the chair has excellent back support .

I bought this for my lower back problem causing Sciatica pains, difficult to move and sleep side ways. I was hoping this pillow will help in my condition. However, it does not have much to do in helping the back problem. In your case with neck and brain injury, that would be different story. I do not have same experience to guide you if it would be helpful to you or not. So, sorry.

This cushion is pretty firm, & has a 3 inch raise. I like it best for a wooden chair. I think if you used it lying down that you would end up arching your back. I would not buy it for lying down d
