Product Reviews of Obus Forme Ergonomic Orthopedic Low Back Backrest, Black
Product Review: bought six of these through the years
Summary: 4 Stars
the only product i've found thats better is the air filled obus forme that uses a pump.
they work:
i've used them for over ten years. I've traveled over a million miles carrying one.
i've not had trouble with the product staying in place even though it uses only one strap and they do make a light noises sometimes but they never bother me.
i colleague told me about them. i've told hundreds of people. my neighbor tried multiple products and borrowed mine to use in his car. he wouldn't give it back.
what i don't like about this model:
this model uses velcro to attach a foam pillow to the shell. that allows you to adjust the lumbar exactly where you need it even if the pad slips down between the back and seat of a chair. But the pillow gets smashed over time and is no longer useful, sometimes the pillow falls off, and over time the velcro on the pillow rubs the material on the shell until it will no longer adhere (just rotate the cover so the back is in front and there will be a fresh side to wear out). I lasts about two years.
I now purchase the version with a built in pump. It lasted me five years of heavy travel until i finally destroyed it. negatives of this model are that it costs a little more and doesn't have adjustment on position of the lumbar. If you need lumbar adjustment, get this one.
Product Review: kind of mixed on this one

Hmmm...
On the one hand -- it simply works. In my oversized office chair (and on my family room leather couch), it keeps me from slouching and offers additional support to my back. However, the material used rubs awkwardly and loudly against leather. (Perhaps not a problem against cloth). Also, it's pretty stiff. Stiffer than I'd prefer. I used it for a week and almost got used to it. But, I'm going to look for a different solution for me... Meanwhile, the small adjustable pillow seems about worthless. Not large enough, firm enough, substantial enough to offer increased lumbar support; so it just adds a minor annoyance.
Product Review: not that great
Summary: 2 Stars
Was initially impressed with the backrest; however, because the straps are not adjustable, it dosen't stay in place. The one snap is not sufficient for holding the backrest in place.
