My old office chair has no lumbar adjustment. Can I just buy a separate lumbar cushion to fix it, or is that a waste of money?
Yes – a good lumbar cushion can dramatically improve an old chair. But not all cushions work.
| Cushion Type | Effectiveness | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Memory foam roll | Good – firm, stays in place | Chairs with flat back |
| Inflatable cushion | Excellent – adjustable firmness and height | Fine-tuning curve |
| Cloth-filled pillow | Poor – flattens quickly | Occasional use only |
| Elastic strap-on | Good – won't slide down | Chairs with short backs |
How to position it: Place the cushion so it fills the gap between your lower back and the chair when you sit upright. The curve should hit just above your belt line.
What won't work: A cushion that's too thick (pushes you forward, thighs lose support) or too soft (flattens under weight).
