Description
Targeted Support Wherever You Rest
Changing from bed to chair can make it hard to maintain comfortable lower-back support throughout the day. The icare Reform Lumbar Support is designed for both seated and lying environments, providing targeted lumbar support with gentle lateral stability. Its slim, moulded shape supports the natural lower-back curve while helping maintain alignment. It is a versatile positioning aid for rehabilitation, aged care, home care and clinician-guided post-operative support.
The Reform Lumbar uses very high-density Charcoal ActiveX™, a responsive material that slowly moulds to the body to increase immersion and redistribute pressure. Charcoal ActiveX™ also helps regulate temperature, reduce odours and is anti-microbial. Its thin profile features a two-way angled lumbar contour and lateral ridges, while the 4-way stretch, zip-off cover is removable and washable for practical ongoing hygiene.
Position it in bed for supine or Fowler's positioning, or use it for added lower-back support in a recliner, chair or selected wheelchair set-up. The compact shape makes it easy to reposition through the day. For anyone with complex needs, reduced mobility or a prescribed 24-hour positioning programme, use it only with advice from an appropriate clinician.

Why Choose the icare Reform Lumbar Support from MoveSmart?
The icare Reform Lumbar Support is made for situations where lower-back support needs to travel with the user from bed to chair. Its responsive Charcoal ActiveX™ core, slim lumbar contour and gentle lateral ridges deliver a more adaptable option than a conventional chair-only cushion. MoveSmart supplies this Reform positioning support nationwide across New Zealand for rehabilitation, aged care, community care and home settings. It may be especially useful when continuity across seated and lying positions is important; for a prescribed positioning programme, a clinician should confirm the appropriate configuration and use.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What are supine and Fowler's positions?
Supine means lying flat on your back. Fowler's position means the upper body is elevated. The icare Reform Lumbar Support is shaped to provide targeted lower-back support in both positions, as well as when used in suitable seated environments.
Why is the Reform Lumbar so slim?
Its low-profile, moulded design is intended to support the natural curve of the lower back without creating unnecessary elevation. This makes it easier to use for positioning support while helping avoid major changes to the user's overall body position.
Can it help keep me positioned in bed?
The integrated side contours provide gentle lateral support to help maintain a comfortable position during rest. It may assist stability and reduce unwanted trunk movement, but it should be used within an appropriate care or positioning plan.
Who is the Reform Lumbar designed for?
It is designed for people requiring targeted lumbar support while sitting or lying, particularly in rehabilitation, aged care, community care or post-operative recovery. Its versatile profile can move between bed, recliner, chair and selected wheelchair environments.
Can it be part of a 24-hour positioning plan?
Because it can be used in both seated and lying positions, the Reform Lumbar may provide continuity of support as a person moves between bed and chair. A therapist or clinician should confirm its place in any individual 24-hour positioning plan.
Why is lateral support important?
For some people, maintaining a centred position is as important as lumbar support. The Reform Lumbar's side contours are designed to assist stability and help reduce unwanted trunk movement while resting, without making claims to treat an underlying condition.
What is Charcoal ActiveX™?
Charcoal ActiveX™ is a very high-density, responsive foam that slowly moulds to the body's natural shape. It is designed to increase immersion, redistribute pressure and help regulate temperature during extended use, while charcoal helps reduce odours and is anti-microbial.
Can I use it on a chair as well as in bed?
Yes. The Reform Lumbar is designed for both sitting and lying. It can provide targeted lumbar support in suitable chairs, recliners and wheelchairs, and can also assist positioning in bed in supine or Fowler's positions.
Is the cover washable?
Yes. The Reform Lumbar has a zip-off washable cover to support regular hygiene and care. Follow the care instructions provided with the product, and make sure the cover is dry before returning it to the support.

Yes. MoveSmart ships nationwide across New Zealand. Delivery options are confirmed at checkout, and warranty details are confirmed at time of purchase.
