MEDesign® Backfriend®

The MEDesign Backfriend is an ergonomic back support combining a back rest and seat support.

Manufactured by MEDesign Ltd in Birkdale, it is consultant designed to provide optimal lumbar support and thoracic support.
The back is height adjustable to suit the individual.
It is available in 7 colours and single or double padded* options. And MEDesign offers a 14 day home trial.
Very light at 1.6kg (3.5lb) it folds for easy carrying with the built in handle.
For use in any seat or chair, anywhere, to provide spinal support and to relieve / prevent back ache and low back pain.
For travel comfort it is especially invaluable. What Car magazine tested 12 back supports in cars and gave the MEDesign Backfriend (their only) 5 star rating. They said the “MEDesign Backfriend is the only one we recommend: it can make a bad seat good. Beautifully designed to allow freedom of movement; excellent support while avoiding pressure points. Highly recommended”.
More than 600,000 are in use in 35 countries in the home, office and travelling. For details see the Links Section.

* We do not (as a general rule) recommend using the double padded models in cars.
Because of the extra height, some users can lock themselves against the roof!

Great service on replacement part

Catherine - 23rd December 2011

I have an old backfriend, and needed replacement fittings. The advice from customer services was great - I initially thought the fittings would not work with my old model - they do, thanks to the very prompt and helpful guidance. Thank you

Comfortable

It is fantastic

Just a quick note to say the Backfriend arrived safely and surprisingly quickly!! It is fantastic. I am a music teacher, cellist and pianist, all activities requiring car journeys and sitting positions which become painful during extended periods. Over...

Hospital recommendation

HS - 08th December 2011

The hospital I attended for back rehab classes recommended this product and it has proved to be well worthwhile. One of the few products that live up to the hype!
