The BACKISEAT represents the culmination of a 25 year search to find a simple and effective solution for lower back pain. The long arduous investigation ended in a single moment, in an unimaginable and truly remarkable way.

Our inventor traveled to a Healing Center in Hardwar India, in search of yet another alternative cure. Unable to endure the 8hr drive he got out of the taxi and collapsed. In agony, he refused to be moved from his unknown remote location. That was his only plan.

The driver appeared to have an idea and walked off through fields of know where. after what felt like a decade, He returned, carrying something that resembled an old tractor seat. It was bent flat and hard as a rock. He placed it into the back seat and in Hindi told his suffering passenger to sit on it. No one had ever suggested throughout this man’s relentless journey, to sit on something that firm. And so he did. To his own astonishment, he continued on the 4 hr trip not burdened by
any back pain, But absolutely bound with new inspiration.

He left India, tractor seat in hand and never went anywhere without it. He began re-designing homemade versions until a friend who had been suffering from a tailbone injury tried the hard seat, and it too; changed her life. They knew that they could not be the only 2 people in the universe with this problem.

“When we set out to find a seat cushion that was anything like ours, this idea seemed to be a radical departure from the conventional wisdom surrounding seat cushions that were soft.” There also wasn’t a product anyone could easily carry for many reasons. It was an accident that led them to realize how many others could benefit, never their original goal.

The design of the BACKISEAT grew in an effort to create fashionable seats that worked to relieve back pain, easy to manage, and nothing that resembled the ineffective soft cushions offered in the medical community.
