Customer Reviews of Obus Forme Ultra Forme Ergonomic Orthopedic Back Rest, Medium, Black
Customer Review: back support
Summary: 4 Stars
Overall, I find this to be a good product. If it had a little more support for the lower back I would love it!Customer Review: Good support but not worth the $$$
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this backrest and was a little skeptical to spend over $100 without reading any customer reviews so I thought it might be helpful for others who are looking to purchase premium back support. I have been using the backrest for over one month now so I feel like i have a pretty good feel for the product.
Pros:
1. It is a good length that will support your entire back but not head, which is better than the other rests I was looking at purchasing.
2. The product is constructed very well and I can imagine this will last for at least a few years.
3. Material is very confortable and does not cause your back to overheat.
4. Lumbar support is good when used correctly with your back leaning aginst the entire length of the support.
Cons:
1. You cannot slouch whatsoever because the backrest will no longer stay positioned on the seat, even though there are straps to go around the existing seat. Even if you move a little the backrest will have to be repositioned which is annoying for a person who has to get up often or is a little restless.
2. The lumbar support is decent but not nearly as good as other rests that concentrate more on the lower back. Perhaps the pitch of this support is scientifically proven to be good for you but I have felt just as good if not better from rests that offer a little more support. There is a slight bend in the backrest for lumbar support but it is not adjustable at all and some people might need more.
3. Sizing can be difficult, I am about 6 feet tall and weight 180lbs, I bought the medium size rest, however I have a long back and I wish I had purchased the large. You really need to test out which size works for you before you buy it.
4. Item is large and can be slightly bulky to carry. I work in new york city and it was annoying traveling with the backrest if you need to move it often.
5. The price, I dont see why this product should cost as much as it does. It is bascially fabric wrapped around a plastic and metal board. Perhaps all the R&D for this product was costly, or perhaps obus had to pay a few doctors to put their stamp of approval on it, but you can find a rest that offers just as much support for $50 or less. I purchased a different backrest for $15 off amazon for my office in my apt and I feel just as good after using it.
I hope this is helpful for anyone thinking about buying this product. I wish I would have known this information while I was reading about various backrests. Look at the other obus forme backrests or less expensive ones from other manufacturers before you put down the cash for this one.
Customer Review: hurt my back
Summary: 2 Stars
i bought this because my car seat forces me to hunch over. i drive 2 hrs a day and have constant pain by the time i get home. i have a small frame 5'6, 130lbs with a small waist. whenever i sit down, i never feel like i have enough lower back support. i purchased this thinking it would help my problem. first of all, i was excited because it wasn't hideous but once you get the thing in, you can no longer rest your head. i liked the back support at first and then noticed much more back pain once i got to my destination. simply put, there's not enough lower back support. i ended up using my memory foam pillow until i can find something better. would love some recommendations if anyone has them!!Customer Review: Dealyard is no deal!
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased 3 of these items. Guess what you get when it eventually gets delivered? A really huge, ugly red stop sign embroidered on the backrest with a bunch of writing on it in white letters-NOT BLACK AS PICTURED~!. my husband and I used them to drive on a 9 hour trip and it did not help at all. I bought 3. two to use and to give one as a present. they are refusing to take them back when on the packing slip it instructs you to email them and they will give you the return protocol. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH DEALYARD!!!!! buy your product elsewhere!!!!! false advertising and zero customer service and satisfaction. and maybe stop using amazon since they won't be able to solve any service issues either!!!!!!
