 has saved my back |

I've been using BackJoy for over a year. Having had a desk job for my entire career, BackJoy has made the hours in front of my computer so much more bearable. Before, I suffered from horrible posture and tight shoulders--I don't feel these common aches and pain anymore.
However, I decided to write a review after I tweaked my back and experienced the relief that BackJoy was able to provide. I knew that the "cushion" helped me sit taller and much more comfortably, but I didn't know how profound this effect would be until after my injury. The only way I could bear to sit was with a BackJoy.
Whether you're suffering from intense pain or simply want to alleviate the stress of long-term sitting, I would recommend this product. *Please be sure to read the instructions carefully.* I think misuse has been the primary reason why others haven't been satisfied. It's really important to scoot yourself back on the cushion as far as you can so the curved back actually scoops your rear. You'll feel when you're in the sweet spot. |
Quite Surprised at the Amazing Support and Comfort!!

Since I had read all of the reviews before purchasing the BackJoy (Back Orthotic Sitting Device), I was very hopeful that I would also find this to be equally helpful and supportive, and I can say that I was very surprised to find it to be that and even more. I don't have severe back problems but rather a very weak core and as I also have a long torso, my upper back muscles are much stronger than my lower back, so I have a tendency to slouch when sitting no matter how much I try to correct myself. When I tried the Backjoy I was ecstatic at how it pushed my entire back into a straight position with no strain at all after sitting for hours. I'm amazed at how well it is helping me to correct my posture and I don't end up having the neck and shoulder aches that I usually get from slouching.
So far I've used the Backjoy for driving in my car, sitting in an office chair and also sitting in a cross legged position on the floor during meditation and I'm so thrilled that I can actually sit up straight the entire time. It's such a great design and built very sturdy and comfortable to sit on for long periods of time. I am 5'8" and weigh 150-lbs and the seat is flexible, strong and wide enough to hold a much larger person. In order to get the seat in the best position for the most comfort, I have found that scooting your fanny as far back as you can go is the most comfortable and best position for support. I really love it and highly recommend it for any kind of sitting you will be doing or in any kind of chair--or even on the floor which I hadn't seen any literature for using it in that way, but since it is very important to have a straight spine during meditation, this has been an amazing find and seeing that so much of a person's life is sitting either at home or at work, it's very important to keep the spine straight and in a good posture. Of course enough cannot be said about strengthening the back and core muscles to help with a poor posture and/or back problems through exercise, but this product has been very useful for supporting the weaker back muscles and helping with correcting my posture. |
This really works!

| I bought 2 of these, one for my husband at work and one for home. My husband loves his. He tells me he has no back pain at work now. He is an engineer and sits many hours at his computer. I use the other one at my computer at home and at my sewing machine. It aligns your spine and keeps your back from rounding against the chair and really keeps my back from hurting. Great Product. I don't know why someone would write a review about a product they haven't even used enough to know about. Please try this if you sit all day and your back hurts. |
It is just what I needed

I have a desk job. I work in three different offices, and all of the chairs are uncomfortable; every night, I had muscle pain in my legs and my back hurt from sitting in those chairs all day. A friend suggested the Back Joy. I checked it out on-line, but the description sounded too good to be true. And $50 seemed like a lot of money for such a low-tech device. But because my legs and back hurt so much, I ordered one and paid extra for faster shipping. I got it four weeks ago.
When I started using it, my legs felt better the first day. After several days, my back felt a lot better, and now, I have no pain even after a long day. I tried it at home, but I have soft comfortable chairs at home, and I mostly sit in my recliner, which does not lend itself to using the Back Joy. Then one day I forgot to bring it to work with me and I really felt the difference that night -- my legs were killing me.
Now, I just leave it in my car in the driver's seat, which is also more comfortable with the Back Joy -- I can drive longer without getting leg or back pain. I take it in to the office and use it all day, then put it back in the car. When I go to meetings in the community, I bring it in and use it there, too. It works best in hard chairs; I can now sit in plastic chairs for long meetings, without discomfort. It is worth the price. |
Wonderful product

| I got immediate relief from my sciatica pain using BackJoy. I had constant soreness from January until the day I got this in August, and I just can't believe the results. It takes a few days to get used to sitting on it but the pain relief was immediate. |
