Choose the structured option when…

  • You want a defined support point you can feel.
  • You move the product between desk, car and home.
  • You prefer structure over a soft cushion.

The short answer

If your first thought is “I want to feel where my back is supported”, start with the portable back support. If you want a softer, more forgiving cushion, look for that kind of product instead.
