Orthopedic seat cushions

Outwardly, a healthy person does not suspect that during long sedentary work, the internal organs of the pelvis are deprived of the proper functioning of the blood flow, being in a transmitted state. Sitting on a chair can not be called a natural posture, because at this time an irregular load on the spine turns out to have a negative effect on the body. A little later, the back starts to hurt, then the pain spreads further and often becomes unbearable.

To help the user relieve pain, orthopedic pillows are designed for sitting on the chair. Such accessories stand out against the background of conventional analogues for the chair and have several advantages.

The main distinguishing feature of orthopedic seat cushions is a special filling material.

Externally, they come in different shapes, sometimes similar to the usual pillows, however, the main focus, which determines the properties of the product, is stuffing. It is different in composition and shape, different elasticity and density of the surface. Thanks to her, sitting on orthopedic pillows is convenient and comfortable.

These products are not therapeutic "pills", however, they are able to relieve the user from aching pain or reduce its severity.

The principle of operation of such pillows is based on an even distribution of the weight load on the spine. Due to the "correctness" of the packing, the pressure is distributed over the entire surface of the body, taking into account the area of ​​the pillow. Thanks to this feature, orthopedic pillows relieve the user's body of pinching nerve endings, numbness of the hands and swelling of the legs.

These are unique additions to any kind of chair (soft or computer chair, uncomfortable student, office, regular stool, and even bedside tables).Being a simple device, they align the position of the back, make the posture correct, straighten the shoulders, relieve muscle tension and normalize the work of all organs.

These products save many people whose work is associated with a long stay in a sitting position:

• office workers;
• school students;
• students of educational institutions;
• secretaries;

• programmers;
• drivers of auto and air transport long-distance routes;
• people whose work is associated with heavy physical exertion.

Unfortunately, despite the mobility of orthopedic pillows, it is not always possible to take them with you to work or study. In this case, it remains to control yourself on your own, and when you return home, use a useful pillow.

According to doctors, such pillows are shown:

• in the last months of pregnancy and immediately after childbirth, as well as before childbirth, when contractions begin;
• users with poor posture, scoliosis and back pain;
• patients with injuries of the pelvic organs in the postoperative period (as rehabilitation);

• people suffering from constant aching pain in the lower abdomen;
• those who suffer from prostatitis are familiar with hemorrhoids and osteochondrosis;
• people with disabilities who, due to illness, are forced to move exclusively with the help of a wheelchair.

Orthopedic pillows prevent the appearance of pressure sores in people with impaired blood flow (especially important for immobilized users). These pads perfectly vary the degree of rigidity of the seat and make the landing as comfortable and convenient as possible.

Orthopedic pillows for sitting on a chair cannot fully save a person from the disease.

In most cases, such products are effective in a duet with a lumbar pillow: this is the only way to achieve the stated effect. The choice of such products must be solid: not everything that is advertised by sellers is a useful product with orthopedic effect. The rulers include inflatable items that, at best, can soften the seat of a hard chair.Even if we take into account their ability to vary in size, thickness, cheapness and mobility, rubber is detrimental to health.

Most models are sold without a removable cover, making it difficult to care for the pillow and requires more careful handling. Such products cannot be washed at all. All care is to wash the cover, if it is removable.

Externally, orthopedic pillows for sitting on a chair are monolithic overlays on the seat under the buttocks. Depending on the model, they can be simple or with varying degrees of stiffness in different parts of the pillow.

Useful accessories are of two types:

• not adjusting to the anatomical form of the user and forcing him to take the only correct position while sitting on a chair;
• anatomical, able to remember the contours of the user's body.

In this case, the product may differ, it happens:

• round or oval shape with a hole in the center;
• in the form of a rectangle or square with an open hole;
• like a bagel or boomerang;

• triangular shape with low rollers and back;
• in the form of a wedge or roller.

In addition to the variety of shape, the type of surface differs: an orthopedic pillow can be flat, convex, with anatomical relief, repeating the contours of the user's body.

In the production of useful pillows, trademarks use a quality type of stuffing. Usually the component of the pillow is:

• natural latex - high-tech product processing wood juice Hevea, multi-level filler with excellent performance and quality characteristics, externally characterized by the presence of holes of different diameters and depths;
• artificial latex - An analogue of natural material, which is a latex-impregnated polyurethane foam that does not have holes, but is quite rigid and not deformable (a budget version of latex with a long service life);
• viscoelastic foam - anatomical material, when heated from the human body, is capable of memorizing the user's comfortable position, delicately enveloping the body, but returning to its original shape during cooling.

In addition to basic materials, other types of stuffing are used in production. However, not all of them can be called orthopedic (for example, ordinary foam rubber is not able to provide the necessary back support, despite being related to polyurethane foam, it does not have the desired properties, it forms dents very quickly).

When choosing an orthopedic pillow for sitting on a chair, it is important to take into account a number of factors ranging from appearance to the complexity of care.

The first thing you need to know: models for the back, neck and head are different. These are separate types of orthopedic pillows designed specifically for each case. For the purchase to be successful and to please the user for a long time, it is important to choose the right model.

Before buying, you should look at the information about the model you like on the manufacturer's website, pay attention to the size, characteristics, service life, composition of the filler, medical indicators (models for a particular problem may vary).

Ideally, it is worth making a purchase from the manufacturer or its official supplier. In extreme cases, you can contact a proven store with a good reputation, confirmed by a mass of positive reviews from real buyers. Since this is a special product, a certificate of quality and compliance with hygiene standards is mandatory.

Any discrepancy of the model from the one proposed on the official website indicates a fake. Listening to the speech of the seller who wants to sell the goods, it is worth starting from the recommendation of the doctor and the existing problem.

In addition, you can take a few tips:

• Latex is a great option, it will withstand a lot of weight, without bending, it will help to take the correct posture, not adapting to the user;
• Anatomical foam (polyurethane foam memory base) is good for those who have no problems with posture, it facilitates sitting on a chair (in a chair);
• orthopedic pillow should not be too small (smaller buttocks): it does not relieve the back, and increase the pressure;
• choosing a cushion under the buttocks, it is necessary to give preference to a three-dimensional product;
• round ring pillow is good for women in labor (relaxes the crotch), relevant for hemorrhoids, prostatitis;
• pillow size should be universal (suitable at the same time as an office chair, car or soft chair, stools);
• “Fitting” is a great way to understand the degree of convenience, it is obligatory (such products are packed in polyethylene, therefore, the store will not be harmed);
• in order not to overpay for the goods, you can ask the price of the model you like by comparing the cost on the Internet.

The leading manufacturers of orthopedic pillows for sitting on the chair include:

• Trelax - Manufacturer of models for various problems (including options for disabled people), characterized by durability and high performance;
• "Trivers" - domestic brand, producing models with a memory effect (in the form of a bagel), characterized by mobility and ease of use;

• Labona - a brand that produces low-end models in the form of a rectangle and a roller, having a pleasant design and low cost;
• Ormatek - Russian product developer to relieve any tension with the correct support of the back and straightening of the shoulder body.

Buy an orthopedic pillow is half the battle.Need to learn how to sit on it. You can not use this accessory on an overly soft chair: having crouched without support, the pillow will begin to work to the detriment of health.

If the product will be used for other than its intended purpose, it will reduce the service life. You can not try to adjust the pillow for themselves, using heavy objects to change the shape.

In models with an anatomical surface it is difficult to get confused: they can see the location of the body while sitting. To settle down otherwise they will not work and you should not try to experiment: the surface is designed in such a way that each section of the pillow has its own pressure.

The same can be said about the products with the back and side rollers: they sit in the center, without bias. These products provide the user’s orthopedic correct position.

If the model is universal and does not have distinctive differences for the front and sidewalls, it is necessary to sit on it so that the hole is exactly in the center.

In care of their own health, orthopedic pillows for sitting on a chair are a good acquisition. This is evidenced by numerous customer reviews left on sites dedicated to this development. Users who regularly use orthopedic pillows under the buttocks, note: these pads can relieve back pressure. Thanks to them, muscle fatigue becomes less pronounced, although it does not disappear altogether.

All buyers talk about the importance of movement in the intervals between sedentary work, otherwise the effectiveness of the use of useful pillows is reduced. It is impossible to completely shift the care of health on the lining, - users write in the comments, - it is important to move, straightening the stiff spine.
