The orthopedic cushion is able to remove numbness and the ethnicity of the limbs. The product has various forms and suitable for any seat: chair, car or office chair.
The orthopedic pillow is designed for comfortable work associated with a long-term seat on a rigid surface. This is how even a comfortable office chair for 10-12 hours of uninterrupted use can turn into a torture instrument. What to talk about chairs, for example, in the workshops of sewing factories with mass production, where the usual change lasts 12 hours ... At this time, the spine, which is in the inclined state, is experiencing strong loads.
There is another very important problem with which the product will help, for some reason, not mentioned in articles on orthopedic seats for seating. This is the stressful state of the buttocks and pelvic organs, because it is not for nothing hemorrhoids is considered a professional disease of truckers and people with a seating lifestyle.

Materials manufacturing
High-quality filler and cloth for the case - the basis of strength, durability, efficiency of the orthopedic product. When buying should be attentive - the market is filled with counterfeit. Consider various types of fillers.
Latex - rubber foam, the most common material. The main advantages of latex consider:
- Comfort - the porous structure of the rubber foam filled with air is characterized by soft and elasticity;
- durability, since the viability of the certified product exceeds a decade;
- the ability to take anatomical outlines of the human body;
- Easy to care - the latex product can be washed, and both manually and in the washing machine.
Vyazkoelastic or memorial foam, which has a unique property - "physical memory". Material is able to adjust the inclined pose of the sitting person and save the form accepted for some time. The filler is used in the production of office and other types of chairs. This advantages of viscoelastic foam are not limited to:
- Natural raw materials are safe for humans;
- The filler effectively distributes the load;
- It is characterized by increased wear resistance.
Polyester is the optimal option for lovers of cheap and low-quality products. At best, the pillow for seating from polyester is more or less normal to last year, but it will be a record deadline. Raw materials have a number of conditional advantages.
- Manufacturers argue that the material is very soft and comfortable for seating, but it is noted by its ability to keep an anatomical shape. This is very doubtful, given the lubricant of small balls with silicone composition and ramp - most likely, they are able to maintain only the shape of the cover.
- Pillows are really soft, but the cheapness of the foundation cannot serve as a guarantee of durability - do not forget that in difficult economic conditions even "free cheese in a mousetrap" went up.
- It is possible to adjust the height by removing part of the filler.
- One of the truly good qualities of polyester is tolerance of any kind of washing.
However, it must be borne in mind that the silicone lubricant, which the balls are processed, will very quickly wash off the efficient chemistry of the washing powder.
Buckwheat husk - natural and cheapest filler. Some articles meet the approval that Luzga is able to "memorize" adopted form. In order to be clearer, Luzga passes a special technological processing - dedusting, calibration, steam treatment - after which it becomes striking sweep. Is it possible to "memorize" the form to the form of reflection and logical conclusions. But the absolute naturalness of the product can be considered the absolute nature of its dignity and the light massage effect. The approval of unscrupulous manufacturers about the service life of up to 10 years is the baking lie. The maximum service life of the pillow with buckwheat luzgoy - 1.5-2 years, and then it concerns models under the head. The product on which is constantly sitting, will be in a satisfactory condition even less.
Gel orthopedic pillow is one of the best options, despite the high price of products. The gel filler perfectly redistributes the load, cools and prevents the release of sweat, has a long service life. The inflatable rubber cushion is a practical option if a durable material with good hermetic properties is used as a cover.
The rigidity of such a product is easily adjustable. From the pillow you can release air, and it will become compact and mobile. The disadvantages include the zero level of hygroscopicity - the body on such a product is very sweating at high temperatures.
