The Flamingo Foam Back Rest – Large is an ergonomic back support cushion designed to provide additional support to the thoraco-lumbar region during prolonged sitting. It is suitable for office chairs, car seats and other situations where extended sitting is unavoidable. Flamingo identifies the product as a Large-size back rest, with SKU DOC2182.
The back rest uses pre-moulded foam designed to follow the natural contours of the back. This provides a supportive surface around the lumbar area while helping users maintain a more comfortable sitting position. A soft outer fabric adds comfort for regular use.
An adjustable elastic strap with buckle allows the back rest to be secured to a chair or seat, helping keep it positioned during use. The product is particularly relevant for office professionals, drivers and anyone who spends extended periods sitting at a desk, in a vehicle or at home.
