Frequently Asked QuestionsHow long has The Back Thing® been around? The Back Thing® was designed, developed and patented in 1973 by a neurosurgeon in Michigan. How do I use The Back Thing®? Simply place The Back Thing® back support aid against the back of the chair with the slats running vertically and the flap on the seat. Now sit down and lean back. Adjust the flap to ensure proper positioning for comfortable back pain relief and ergonomic back support. What is the difference between the two products? The Back Thing® comes in two designs: the Back Thing® Original and the Back Thing® Lite. The Original design is perfect for more stationary uses; sitting at a desk, reading, etc. The Back Thing® Lite is lighter weight and foldable and is ultimately designed for the person more on the go; traveling, playing sports, camping etc. Many users will buy one of each to satisfy their low back support needs. Who needs The Back Thing®? Basically, everyone, since people require back pain relief from prolonged sitting. Many expensive 'ergonomic' chairs do not provide the proper back support necessary for proper spinal health. Neither do 'easy' chairs, nor most auto seats. The Back Thing® does; and it will always provide the necessary back support, aiding in proper posture, so you sit in the same comfortable manner, regardless of the type of seat. How is The Back Thing® different from other back supports? Other back supports and devices do not provide proper back pain relief. They are often more like pillows, providing little support where it is most needed - the regions of the lower back - ultimately contributing to chronic back pain. The Back Thing's® patented "slat technology" targets specific regions of the lower back, providing the critical support it requires. The Back Thing® is also one of the most cost-effective devices on the market today. Isn't The Back Thing® too simple to do all that you claim? Actually, quite the contrary. Its simplistic design has a lot to do with its effectiveness and comfort. The Back Thing® is constructed of 6 slats placed to support the large vertical muscles on either side of the spine. The Back Thing® does what it was designed to do: provide low back pain aid so you can feel better. Will The Back Thing® work in my existing office chair? Yes, The Back Thing® will provide you ergonomic back support and backache relief in any office chair - new or old. There is no reason to purchase new chairs for the perceived improvement in lower back support, comfort and backache relief. The Back Thing® will do it for you in your existing chair, so you can live without back pain. Where can I purchase The Back Thing®? Currently, The Back Thing® is exclusively available here, on our website. Can I return The Back Thing®? Yes, if not completely satisfied, just return The Back Thing® in "as new" condition for a 100% refund. More details are available on the Order Info page.
