"I have tailbone pain as a result of a fall when I was a child. I recently ordered one of your RelaxoBak seats. I have tried a lot of 'gimmicks' over the years and nothing worked until I used your product! I can drive without pain.
I even take it into the office and sit on it all day. I have spent a fortune on products that didn't work but the small amount I spent on the RelaxoBak is worth a million!"

"In my job as a tour bus driver, all I have to do is sit on my RelaxoBak.... Everyone loves them and I wouldn't be without mine!"

When I first read the reviews on this product, I noticed a few people said their butts hurt from sitting on it. The first night I got the RelaxoBak, the same thing happened to me.
I thought, "What am I missing?"
So I went back to the box, and low and behold found a little quickstart guide titled, "Read this first!"
I read it, then tried the RelaxoBak again. After a few minutes, I finally found the comfort-spot where I was perfectly supported.
After sitting in it for a while, my back felt a little achy. I wondered if perhaps I was again using it wrong, so the instructions said:
"Try sitting without the RelaxoBak and notice any differences."
So I did that, and immediately I realized that sitting normally hurt my tailbone and butt even more!
It turns out that it actually takes some time for the back to adjust to sitting properly (imagine that!)
Long story short: It's now about 30 days after I bought this, and I'm still getting used to it but I definitely feel the difference and will continue to use it.
If you're having trouble with it, read the instructions and try it for a few weeks. When you find the 'sweet spot' you'll notice the difference instantly.

I've been using RelaxoBak for over a year. Having had a desk job for my entire career, RelaxoBak 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 RelaxoBak 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 RelaxoBak.
Whether you're suffering from intense pain or simply want to alleviate the stress of long-term sitting, I would recommend this product.

Since I had read all of the reviews before purchasing the RelaxoBak (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 RelaxoBak 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 RelaxoBak 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.

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.
