I bumped into “Luxury Folding Massaging Back Rest“ from Homedics in a local pharmacy — glanced at it while was waiting in a line and decided to give it a chance.

… I spend 10-12 hours with laptop on my laps every day. A proper back support has become an issue long time ago. The issue I was not giving time to address… other things were much higher on my “To do” list. My back pain has become my companion that I learned to live with.

On and off I have been looking for a chair, but they either did not fit “my fancy” (defined both as style and feel) or were more than I was willing to pay. The last one I looked at was over $2,000 when I looked at it …

This Homedics “Back Rest” turned to be an excellent find. I haven’t gotten batteries yet (it needs two D batteries) and haven’t tried the massage effect yet, but as back support it is absolutely invaluable. For $50, it is ‘golden’.

I would recommend it for those who work from home or those who work in “relaxed” office conditions; and I am not on Homedics sales team. .

Sharper Image has a similar back support chair with a lamp for reading for $130.
