A real friend
- 26/05/2020
I have used a Backfriend for several years both in the home and the car - it successfully mitigates the pain from an ageing back! I go nowhere without it.
secure and solid support

Portable, lightweight, solid, sturdy, just the job.

Excellent service. Delivered within three working days as specified. Well packaged with spare parts included. Backfriend easily assembled. Fleece cover fits well and good quality. Employee I spoke to prior to purchase was very knowledgeable, polite and helpful.
Excellent products and service

My experience with this company has been outstanding. The BACKFRIEND does exactly what it claims, is well made and excellent value. On buying one for my daughter I inadvertently ordered the wrong base. My phone call was answered quickly and a replacement sent immediately on trust that I would return the unwanted part. During the current epidemic I placed an online order for a second Backfriend for myself at 0850 on 23rd December and it was delivered by FedEx at 0845 on 24th! Recommendations to friends have met with the same level of satisfaction. A UK company with personal service to match!

Had my Backfriend about 15 yrs. I think it is amazing to support painful backs.
Take it on holiday, to concerts, other people’s cars and everywhere I think there are no supportive chairs.

This is the best back support you can possibly buy for your back. I use it on a wooden dining chair and in the car and it gives me complete confidence that my back is properly supported. The upshot is... I can relax.
Purchase of Backfriend
- 16/04/2021
The product and ME Design service was first class. Parcelforce not so much - a very rude delivery person banged on our glass front door ignoring the bell: then as i opened the door, dumped the parcel on the step. It fell down and damaged the cardboard box (luckily no damage to item). No apology of course.

This product is great for me. my problem is not my back but a muscle in a Butt cheek. which is painful when sitting on a sofa or armchair as they are usually too soft. I can now place the Backfriend wherever I sit and am almost pain free while using it.
Great product

Great service, great product. My wife has relied on her Backfriend for the best part of two decades now: we have just bought a second. Very swift service and a robust, reliable bit of kit. Many thanks!
Spare parts
- 01/07/2021
I recently needed spare hinges for my backfriend of 15 years.
The service I received was impeccable.
SUPERB PRODUCT-SUPERB SERVICE.
Looking forward to many more years of relief from my Backfriend.
Many Thanks

Customer service above and beyond
- 08/09/2021
Parcelforce delivery at first attempt went wrong - what you want from customer service then becomes extra important! Parcelforce didn't leave a card meaning I was denied their auto phone system options so I contacted ME Design and Neil was brilliant in following delivery and trying to smooth it all over. Haven't spent much time on the back friend itself yet but a different type of comfort knowing this level of service is behind it.
very comfy backfriend

I envied my friend for a number of years, but couldn't consider a backfriend a high priority. However, having tried one for a few hours in one sitting whilst recently on holiday with family, I decided there's no better time to get one than now! Very speedy and efficient process.
back friend indeed
- 22/09/2021
I have just received my 3rd backfriend and this time also bought the carrying case. These products are all very well made and the backfriend is a lifesaver. I use it in my car, in the office and take one when I need to sit on uncomfortable church seats. I would recommend them to anyone with a back problem

I bought my original backfriend in 1995, following spinal surgery. It enabled me to visit a friend in Paris later that year. 26 years later I am treating myself to a new one!! It is wonderful in the car, and anywhere with soggy seats!

Back Friend Seat
- 12/01/2022
Had my Back Friend Seat since 1993/4 and always keep it out on a chair so it is there if I need it, would not be without it. Have had to order new Hinges and they have arrived within 48 hours from ordering to processing to delivery. Thank you for efficient service.

fast and secure service highly recommended
This seat's a must for back pain!
- 16/07/2022
I've suffered with spine pain since breaking my back in 1991 and the subsequent 4 level fusion to repair it. Shortly thereafter I purchased my first BACKFRIEND & wouldn't have survived this long without one! I've even purchased a second one, with the double padding, to help with the bone pain & I use it religiously everywhere I go! July 2022
Easy and efficient service

I received my Backfriend today.
Ordering was easy and delivery was quick.
Back pain relief
- 17/01/2024
I have used my new Backfriend for over a week now and the relief was noticeable almost instantly. I move it from chair to chair both dining chair and armchair easily. My lower back is so much better. I wouldn't have bought one on speck, my friend let me use hers first so I was lucky. For me and my lower back it works and can recommend.

I am so pleased with this Backfriend which I will be using in my car. It's so comfortable and supports the back and lumbar region completely, recommended by a friend.
