How To Use A Lumbar Pillow?

You can use a lumbar pillow while sleeping, however lumbar pillows are typically used when one is sitting down to help with supporting the lower back.

You can also use a lumbar pillow to raise your legs while you sleep which may help with better aligning your spine, to do this place the lumbar pillow under your knee.

A lumbar pillow can be placed on your bed or on your chair to help you while you are sitting up, to get the most out of using a lumbar pillow on a chair the placement is quite important, here is how to place a lumbar pillow correctly:

Put the lumbar pillow on the bottom part of the chair so that it is on the seat.
Test whether the pillow is placed comfortably on your chair, so that it supports the natural curve of your lower back.
Sit on the chair tall with your back straight, if it feels uncomfortable or unnatural just adjust it to your liking.
