Memory Foam

1. Sit and stand with your back straight.  Slouching places extra pressure on your shoulders and other parts of your back.
2. Ensure your desk is a comfortable height, neither too high or too low to avoid a strain on your back.
3. Purchase a chair with good back support, one in which your back is touching the back of the chair.  If extra support is needed a lumbar support pillow can be purchased and easily inserted to correct the situation.
4. If you are sitting for a long period of time, place your feet on a stool to remove pressure on your back.  If you stand for a prolonged amount of time, change the position of your feet periodically.
5. Low heeled or athletic shoes should be worn so as your weight is distributed evenly.

Discomfort in pregnancy, particularly during the latter months, is common.  We want to try and help ease you through those “rougher” months so consider trying the following tips.

1.  Maternity Back Support Belt - A good night’s sleep is so important during pregnancy.  Even though you are in a horizontal position, you may falsely think that the weight is off your back.  Guess again, the weight is still there and using this belt will support your belly, thus relieving your lower back from carrying all the weight.

2.  Low-heeled or athletic shoes - Fashion must move aside for now as pain in your feet can cause pain in your back.  Even while wearing supportive shoes, you may still want to request a foot massage every so often!

3.  Daily Workout - It is okay to do some light exercises, such as walking, with some light stretching each day.

4.  No Heavy Lifting - Remember you are already carrying weight inside of you, so there is no need to carry more!

5.  Plenty of Sleep - Bed rest doesn’t mean you have to be in bed all day long but do give yourself permission to relax.  A back support pillow will be a welcome help .  It can also be placed between the legs while sleeping on your left side to provide support. 

It’s best to follow all these tips as zeroing in on just one will not bring the best results in relieving your back pain.

Finally, it’s 5:00 p.m.!  The end of another work day and bonus, it’s the weekend!  Aah, rest and relaxation, but wait…as you slide your chair away from the desk and get ready to stand up…OUCH!  Your back is hurting, you’ve strained it somehow.  I guess there will be more rest and relaxation than you thought this weekend after all!

Sitting for long periods of time without any support creates muscle tension and can result in pain in the lower portion of our back.  May we suggest a lower back support pillow to help reduce or alleviate your back pain and possibly neck pain.

A natural gap is evident between the lower spine and chair on which one sits and a back support pillow helps to fill in that space.

These back support pillows can also be used for our heads and necks while sleeping as they keep these body parts aligned, relieving pressure and tension points.

Now, doesn’t that sound like an easy way to be able to really enjoy those weekends?

I just love my lumbar support pillow. I cannot sit down or sleep without it! For me, it was one of the greatest inventions ever made!

Being pregnant sure makes back pain a daily hell, but this great reliable pillow makes my waking hours more bearable. I’ll definitely keep on using this even after I give birth!

If you are a person who prefers sleeping on your side at night, we would highly recommend the Four-In-One Memory Foam Pillow for you.  This pillow placed between slightly bent knees, while on your side, will allow perfect alignment for your spine.   Pressure points will be alleviated and you’ll be on your way to a good night’s rest!

The same would apply for those who prefer their backs to lay on at night.  Place the Four-in-One Memory Foam Pillow under their knees and you have the perfect lumbar support pillow.
