Back & Lumbar Support Cushions Melbourne

Back and lumbar supports

Back and lumbar support cushions are designed to support the natural curve of your spine when sitting. They can be used on office chairs, dining chairs, lounge chairs or in the car to encourage more comfortable posture and reduce slouching.

Different shapes and firmness levels suit different body types and seating positions and can complement advice from your physiotherapist or occupational therapist.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about lumbar support cushions

? Who might benefit from a lumbar support cushion?

People who sit for long periods, such as office workers, students, professional drivers or those who notice lower back discomfort when sitting, may benefit from extra lumbar support. Lumbar cushions can help support the natural curve in your lower back and make everyday sitting more comfortable, especially when used alongside good posture and movement breaks.

? Can a cushion fix my back pain?

A lumbar support cushion on its own is unlikely to “fix” back pain, but it may improve comfort and posture as part of a broader treatment plan. Many people use lumbar supports alongside exercises, movement strategies and clinical care. If you have ongoing or severe back pain, it is important to seek advice from your GP, physiotherapist or other health professional.

? Where should a lumbar cushion sit on the chair?

The thickest part of the cushion should sit in the small of your back, supporting the natural inward curve of your lumbar spine. Your bottom should be back in the chair and your feet should rest flat on the floor or on a footrest. Armrests, screen height and seat depth should also be adjusted so you feel supported rather than slouched or leaning forward.

? Can I use a lumbar cushion in the car?

Yes, many people use lumbar supports in the car for extra comfort on short and long trips. It is important to make sure your driving position remains safe: you should be able to reach the pedals and steering wheel comfortably, see clearly and fasten your seatbelt correctly. If you are unsure, ask your physiotherapist or occupational therapist to review your driving set-up.

? Can you help me choose the right lumbar support cushion?

Yes. Our team can help you compare different lumbar cushion shapes, thicknesses and materials, and talk through where you plan to use the support (for example at a desk, in the car or in a lounge chair). If you would like personalised guidance, please contact our team for support. You can also review detailed product information on our product catalogues page .

? Can I use my NDIS funding for a lumbar support cushion?

In some cases, seating supports such as lumbar cushions may be considered assistive technology under the NDIS, depending on your goals and NDIS plan. This usually requires guidance from your occupational therapist, therapist or support coordinator. For more information about how assistive technology works under the NDIS, you can visit the official NDIS page on assistive technology explained . We are happy to provide quotes or product information to support your NDIS discussions.

? Do you hire lumbar support cushions as well as sell them?

Most lumbar support cushions are purchased for personal use, but some seating and comfort products may be available for hire through our dedicated hire website.
