Different Cushions for Back Relief

Placing a regular pillow behind the small of the back can provide relief from lower back pain and discomfort because it can relieve some of the physical pressure of body weight from the lower spine and surrounding area. Specialized orthopedic cushions can provide a greater support for back pain in comparison to regular pillows because the specialized cushions are designed in specific shapes with materials that will blend and mold with the natural composure or shape of the spine.

Weighing only 5.5 pounds, the cushion can easily be carried around to be used anywhere.
