Description
Support Beyond the Lumbar Region
A basic lumbar cushion may not provide enough support when prolonged sitting affects the upper, middle and lower back. The icare Reform Full Back Support is shaped to support the thoracic spine, shoulder blades and lumbar region together. It helps encourage a more balanced sitting posture and may improve comfort and functional seating tolerance during extended use. This makes it suitable for people who need more than lower-back support alone.
Very high-density Charcoal ActiveX™ slowly conforms to the body, increasing immersion and redistributing pressure over a larger surface area. The two-way lumbar contour and extended upper back wings create the ergonomic profile, while the 4-way stretch, zip-off washable cover supports flexible contact and practical care. An adjustable elastic strap helps secure the support to most seating surfaces. Together, these features support comfortable, stable everyday seating.
Use this full back support in a wheelchair, day chair, recliner, office chair or vehicle seating. It is designed for clinical seating, rehabilitation, aged care and high-risk community applications, as well as everyday use. MoveSmart can help New Zealand customers choose a support for prescribed seating, postural needs or more comfortable prolonged sitting.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the icare Reform Full Back Support include upper-back wings?
Many back cushions focus only on the lumbar spine. Reform's extended upper-back wings provide additional support around the shoulder blades and thoracic spine, helping encourage a more balanced sitting posture. This makes it a more complete option for people who need support above the lower back.
What does Charcoal ActiveX™ do?
The high-density, slow-forming Charcoal ActiveX™ gradually moulds to the body. This increases immersion and helps redistribute pressure over a larger surface area, while also assisting temperature regulation for comfort during extended sitting. It is designed to avoid creating firm, concentrated contact points.
Is the icare Reform Full Back Support suitable for everyday use?
Yes. Although it was developed with clinical seating applications in mind, many people use it every day to improve sitting posture and comfort. It is suitable across a range of seating surfaces, provided the strap is fitted securely and the support feels appropriate for the user.
How is it different from a standard lumbar support?
A standard lumbar support usually focuses on the lower back. The icare Reform Full Back Support is shaped to support the thoracic spine, shoulder blades and lumbar region simultaneously, giving a more comprehensive seating option for users who require greater postural support during prolonged sitting.
Who may benefit from this back support?
It is commonly considered for wheelchair users, people in rehabilitation or aged care, people with spinal or neurological conditions, and anyone needing advanced pressure redistribution while seated. For complex seating, reduced trunk control or clinical conditions, a therapist should assess individual suitability and positioning.
Can I use it in a wheelchair or office chair?
Yes. The adjustable elastic strap helps secure the support to most seating surfaces, including wheelchairs, day chairs, recliners, office chairs and vehicle seating. Check that the support remains aligned and does not interfere with the chair's own supports or a prescribed seating setup.
How does the material support pressure management?
Very high-density Charcoal ActiveX™ slowly allows the user to immerse into the support, increasing contact area and helping reduce concentrated loading over vulnerable areas. It can contribute to an individual pressure-management strategy, but it is not a replacement for regular assessment, repositioning or clinical care.
Is the cover washable?
Yes. The icare Reform Full Back Support has a zip-off washable cover to support regular hygiene and care. Remove the cover and follow the product care instructions supplied with it. The cover also has 4-way stretch, designed to support flexible contact with the ergonomic profile beneath.
Can it be used in rehabilitation or aged care?
Yes. The Reform range was developed for professional healthcare environments as well as home use. This support is suited to clinical seating, rehabilitation, aged care and high-risk community applications. A qualified therapist can determine whether the profile and positioning suit an individual care programme.
