Portable Back Supports

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Get Comfortable at Work, Home and in the Car with a Slim Spinal Brace

— January 28, 2015 — Lifestyle
Portable back supports are great in theory, but how likely are you to actually carry one around? It isn't unusual to spend a couple of hours a day commuting in a car, eight hours sitting in an office chair, and spare time spent relaxing on the couch. With significant periods keeping potentially poor postures, a true traveling lumbar support is hard to come by, and crucial.

Out of the UK, Handsome Ltd. is launching their Backboard. It's a slim, freestanding brace that can be simply placed on any seat and rested against the backrest. The structure of it is flexible enough to be bent to the shape of your own body, yet tough enough to hold that form beneath leaning pressure. The best part is that this portable back support can be slipped easily into a backpack and taken from chair to chair.
Trend Themes
1. Portable Back Supports - The trend of portable back supports is growing as more people are spending extended periods seated in chairs or in cars and seeking a solution for their back pain.
2. Travel-friendly Health Accessories - The trend of travel-friendly health accessories is increasing as people want to prioritize their health and wellness even when on the go.
3. Flexible Back Support Design - The trend of flexible back support design is emerging as consumers seek products that offer customized support and adapt to their own body shape and posture habits.
Industry Implications
1. Health and Wellness - The health and wellness industry can benefit from the portable back support trend by developing more travel-friendly products that cater to consumers' needs for on-the-go pain management solutions.
2. Office Furniture - The office furniture industry can explore the flexible back support design trend by incorporating more customizable and adaptable features into their chairs and seating products.
3. Automotive - The automotive industry can tap into the portable back support trend by creating car seats that come equipped with built-in or attachable lumbar support options for long commutes and road trips.
