"It doesn't matter what you sit on or how you sit, what matters is how long you stay still. A sensory cushion keeps your spinal muscles stable yet active while you sit, adding healthy variability to your posture."
Paula Migala - Physiotherapist
A proper active-sitting chair gives a bit more movement range, but for a fraction of the price, on the chair you already own, Spine Cushion gets you most of the way there. It's also portable and tucks away when you don't need it.

- Encourages micro-movements that help reduce stiffness, especially in the lower back
- Great tool for stretching while sitting and maintaining movement throughout your day
- Can also be used for balance and stability exercises during breaks

Frequently Asked Questions
Place the cushion in the centre of your chair seat. Keep your screen at eye level and your feet flat on the floor. Try sitting without using the backrest so your core has to work to keep you upright. Start with shorter sessions and let your body adapt.
Yes. Slide the cushion slightly forward on the seat so it gently pushes you back into the backrest when you need support. This works well during longer sessions when your core needs a rest.
Start with 30 minutes a few times a day and build up gradually over one to two weeks. Your core muscles need time to adapt. Most people are comfortable using it for full working days within a month.
Inflate to a slightly oval shape, firm enough that you can feel the wobble but not so hard that it feels like sitting on a ball. A softer inflate is better for beginners. You can adjust firmness to your preference over time.
Yes, but we recommend building up to it gradually. Take short breaks every hour, stand up, stretch, and then return. Active sitting is healthier than passive sitting but your body still benefits from regular movement breaks.
It is designed for active sitting rather than soft comfort, so it feels different from a normal cushion at first. Most people need a week or two to get used to it. The optional handmade cover adds a softer layer.
Yes. Place it behind your lower back instead of under you for gentle lumbar support. This is a great option during calls or meetings when you want to sit more passively but still maintain some spinal support.
It is not a medical treatment, and we can't promise it will reduce pain. What it does is make it easy to keep moving while you sit. Back researchers recommend a sitting posture that keeps changing rather than one fixed "perfect" position, and the cushion makes small, constant changes natural. If you have a back condition, check with your physiotherapist or GP before use. Read what the research says about sitting posture.
It is not designed to treat sciatica, so please check with your physiotherapist or GP first. If you do try it, start with short sessions and stop if your symptoms get worse.
Yes. It works on office chairs, dining chairs, stools and on the floor. Please don't use it on a car seat while driving.
Wipe the cushion with a damp cloth. If you have a cover, machine wash it at 30 degrees on a low spin, close the zip before washing, and air dry flat. Do not tumble dry the cover.
The Spine Cushion supports up to 500 lbs which is approximately 227 kg. It is made from thick, high-durability PVC designed to last.
With normal daily use the cushion should last several years. The premium PVC is thicker and more durable than cheaper alternatives. If it ever loses air just top it up with the included pump.
