Abstract
Disclosed is a cushion for supporting the lumbar area of the back of a person while seated in a chair. The cushion is suitable for use with different types of chairs and is comprised of an elongated strip of flexible material that drapes over the chair back and has a weight on one end thereof to allow easy adjustment of the cushion and a pad of foamed cushion material at the other end. The pad of foamed cushion material is adapted to fit between the chair back and the lumbar area of the back of the seated person and is preferably made of a heat sensitive plastic foam that will mold itself to conform to the shape of the lumbar area of the user's back from the body heat of the person seated in the chair.
