Lumbar and Lateral Support for Sitting or Lying
The icare Reform Lumbar Support provides targeted lower-back and lateral support in both seated and lying positions. Its slim moulded profile follows the lumbar curve without adding unnecessary height, making it useful when consistent support is needed between bed and chair.
Very high-density Charcoal ActiveX™ slowly moulds to the body to increase immersion and redistribute pressure while supporting temperature management. A two-way angled lumbar contour supports the lower back, while lateral support ridges help maintain a centred position. The four-way-stretch zip-off cover is removable and washable.
The Reform Lumbar Support has a Medium feel and is designed for users in the 50–130 kg range. It can be used in supine and Fowler’s positions in bed, as well as suitable recliners, chairs and selected wheelchair setups.

Why Choose the icare Reform Lumbar Support?
The Reform Lumbar Support is designed to move with the user between bed and chair. Its slim profile and lateral ridges provide targeted lumbar support without the bulk of a full-back cushion, while Charcoal ActiveX™ adds responsive pressure redistribution.
Choosing and Positioning the Support
icare Reform Lumbar Support should support the intended body area without forcing the user into an uncomfortable posture. Consider the chair or bed dimensions, the person’s body size and the amount of firmness or contouring preferred. Small changes in placement can alter how the support feels, so it is worth taking time to position it while the user is settled in their normal sitting or lying position.
Check the fit again after a short period of use and inspect the skin where pressure or heat may build up. Covers and foam components should be cared for according to their labels so their shape and finish are maintained. Where the product is being considered for pressure care, persistent pain or significant postural needs, seek advice from an appropriate health professional.
