Description
Advanced lumbar support for prolonged sitting
When seated posture and pressure redistribution are ongoing priorities, a basic lumbar cushion may not provide enough contact or stability. The icare Reform Low Back Support combines a distinctive two-way lumbar contour with a wider lower section to support the lumbar spine and help stabilise the pelvis. It is designed for more comfortable, supported sitting through work, travel, rehabilitation and day-to-day care.
Very high-density Charcoal ActiveX™ slowly moulds to the user's body, increasing contact area rather than simply pushing against the back. This slow-forming material helps redistribute pressure and manage heat build-up. A four-way-stretch, zip-off washable cover adds practical flexibility and hygiene, while the adjustable elastic strap securely secures the support to almost any chair for a stable, consistent position during use.
The icare Reform Low Back Support is designed for wheelchairs, recliners, office chairs, vehicle seating and general chairs. It is particularly suited to clinical seating, rehabilitation, aged care and community care where people spend extended periods seated. Its focused low-back profile can also be useful for someone seeking more targeted lumbar and pelvic support than a traditional cylindrical lumbar roll provides.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the wider base do?
The wider support surface helps stabilise the pelvis as well as the lumbar spine. This can create a more balanced seating position and may help reduce fatigue during prolonged sitting, compared with a narrow support that contacts only a small area.
Is it suitable for someone who sits all day?
Yes. The icare Reform Low Back Support was developed for prolonged sitting where pressure management and posture are important, including work, driving and wheelchair use. Positioning should be adjusted to suit the chair and the user's individual comfort and support needs.
Will it feel firm?
Initially it can feel firm, but it is not intended to feel hard. The Charcoal ActiveX™ slowly responds to the body, creating a more personalised support level rather than immediately compressing like a softer conventional cushion.
Does it work on most chairs?
Yes. It is designed for wheelchairs, office chairs, recliners, dining chairs and vehicle seats. The integrated adjustable elastic strap helps secure it to almost any chair, reducing movement and supporting more consistent lumbar positioning throughout the day.
How does it differ from the Reform Full Back Support?
The Low Back Support focuses on the lumbar region and pelvic stability. The Full Back Support extends into the thoracic region for people needing more comprehensive postural control. The appropriate option depends on the area of support required and clinical guidance.
Why is Charcoal ActiveX™ important?
Unlike standard foam, Charcoal ActiveX™ provides slow-forming immersion that increases contact and redistributes pressure while helping manage heat build-up. These characteristics make it particularly relevant to prolonged seating and situations where pressure management is a consideration.
When might it be chosen instead of a standard lumbar roll?
It may be considered when a person needs both pressure redistribution and postural support. Its broader support profile and pressure-relieving Charcoal ActiveX™ can make it more suitable for prolonged sitting than a traditional cylindrical lumbar roll, subject to individual assessment.
What is the benefit of the two-way lumbar contour?
The contour follows the natural lumbar curve while distributing support across a broader surface. This can help reduce concentrated loading and encourage a more functional seated posture without creating excessive lumbar prominence or a sharp point of contact.
Can the cover be washed?
Yes. The support has a zip-off washable cover to assist with regular hygiene. Remove the cover before washing and follow its care instructions. This is useful for frequent use in a home, workplace, community-care or rehabilitation environment.
Is delivery available throughout New Zealand?
Yes. MoveSmart ships nationwide across New Zealand for the icare Reform Low Back Support. Delivery options and charges are confirmed at checkout, and no particular delivery timeframe, delivery price or free-shipping arrangement is guaranteed for any order.
