@stinks because meh doesn’t want you to be comfortable. They want you to squirm in your seat and be miserable so that you’re more likely to try and ease your suffering with more online shopping.
I bought one on Groupon about 2 years ago, and actually liked it.
But, like all habits, it got abandoned after some time. It does help posture, and does help if you have pain between your shoulder blades.
I still have it, and think about using it, knowing it did make life better, but I don’t. I think I’ll put it back in my car… Maybe having it where I sit the longest every day will get it back into use.
I don’t know…Maybe I see things differently. This is the perfect MEH product. Maybe not perfect for everyone, as it should be…but stupid and/or cheap.
And btw, I think Fakespot is wrong. I looked at the Amazon reviewers. All the ones I checked had multiple reviews good and bad…which shows they are real people. This product is sold in other places, they had a Kickstart page to get funded and there are other products that copied them.
And you know where it would really great to use?..You those office chairs that are non adjustable to bring the seat back forward? These cushions would be perfect for that to help you sit upright.
Just sayin’. I think these are way more helpful than those crappy 360 cameras everyone seemed to like which I can guarantee are a nightmare…
But then again, what do I know having been the first person in the USA to buy Dyson vacuums (2000 of them) in July 2002, waiting for them to start advertising, and building a 5 million dollar a year website selling dyson and Miele vacs…

This. Very tempted because of this. Sitting at the edge of my office chair (because I have short, little legs), unable to lean back without semi-reclining, gets kind of old. As do I. This might be worth it, for a little support.
Meh.com, how did you know I’ve been suffering from lower back pain from not exercising enough and sitting on my computer looking at stupid meh.com products. I’m in.
While this product is meh, the write up will allow me to live a free, full life instead of living in the shame and embarrassment that my dog cannot feel for himself. I’m relieved to find out that Opie is not alone in closing himself in the bathroom and, in utter panic, spreading urine, feces, blood, toilet paper, and wood shards upon the walls, toilet, mirror and door. I almost want to buy this thing-I-can’t-remember-what-is just to remind us that we are not alone.
Seems like most of the neutral or negative reviews are about value or being “not worth the price” which isn’t really our issue for $14 bucks a piece. Huh, wait, did I just buy a hunk of plastic and a elastic strap for $14? What has meh.com done to me?!?
If you really think you need to get this, just don’t put it in your car. The strap going around the seat could disrupt the side airbag deployment enough to prevent the airbag from doing its job.
@Milyvan1 That was the theory of early Formula 1 cars. Eventually they realized that the actual result of being in a sturdy box in a crash is a person is turned into a puddle inside an intact box. Hence the modern squashy car, that protects the person at the cost of the car-guts. (Though it’s all more frame-related than panel-related.)
Gee thanks meh. In front of these tens of tens of people, you’ve single-handedly destroyed my childhood dream of opening a chain of international charm schools.
Without going into ailments, years ago an ingenious orthopedic Dr instructed me to take a towel, roll it tightly, tape it and use it vertically on my spine when sitting. Worked wonders - well, as much as it could on my twisted mess. I don’t see if this is soft filled or hard?
Price still too high for what is essentially a piece of foam in a weird case. I might be willing to spend $10 for one, but even that would be a stretch.
Not bashing on Meh at all, but $14 seems like a lot for something that looks like it is just a piece of foam and a strap.
@haydesigner Ahem TWO pieces of foam with straps.
Yeah still way too much $$
And $60 retail??? Whoa…
/giphy no way jose
@haydesigner nice use of Dylan!
Do you guys check Amazon products against fakespot.com ?
This product is a lie wrapped in tissue paper melted by the lie spit produced from the whore-mouth of said liar.
@gwrankin Excellent point! It’s now a D rating, up from an F after Amazon deleted 125+ fake reviews.
/giphy but why
@stinks because meh doesn’t want you to be comfortable. They want you to squirm in your seat and be miserable so that you’re more likely to try and ease your suffering with more online shopping.
Seems you could use anything like a pool noodle or 2-3’ party sub.
@medz Damn, now I’m hungry…
@gwrankin
I had to sit up for this one
Even my cat said what the hell is this crap?!
@savvysapphire Impressive.
Just because it was developed by a hack calling themselves a PT anointed by a piece of paper from Google doesn’t mean these work or are good for you.
Pet rocks were calming shockra chi crystals certified by the geod guy named Bob to reduce a hangover at Woodstock and were only $1.99.
You want straight posture, tape a straight stick to your back. It’s free.
/giphy back-stick-posture
@Woody1 no you have to pay for the tape

@fastharry Thanks for this rational comment! I’m going to give it a try. My posture is atrocious and this is at least an attempt!
@coblebaby thanks…i have my moments of brilliance, lol…
@coblebaby let me know how it works out for you…hope it helps!

Oops I forgot to buy it last night.

@reclaimercube wait…these aren’t jet powered IRK plushies?
/giphy so confused
@reclaimercube meh thinks you still have a crush on the Spice Girls.
@PHRoG @reclaimercube oooo this is good
@growyoungagain @reclaimercube they’re the spice middle aged ladies now.
@growyoungagain @OnionSoup I prefer Spicey Women, thank you for the clever idea
My posture trainer is much cheaper…“Stop slouching!”
I like the idea, but I would only be interested in one.
@JT954 and that too for below 10$ may be
@JT954 Yes. For a while now, I’ve questioned how Meh selects its 2-fors. I’m not likely to persuade my kitty to use the second one of these.
it has to be said:
these make really shitty margaritas.

I used to own a PT Trainer. It was a piece of crap. The AC broke, the transmission slipped, it had no power.
Oh, wait. I had a PT Cruiser. Never mind. Carry on.
Looks like something out of the inquisition.
@ellett not spikey enough
Why would anyone write a bad fake review for this? Foam consortium taking the competition down? Real PT rebelling?
/giphy bad-physical-therapy
Meh is back to sailing failed Kick Starter items, just like the good ole days.
@hchavers now boarding, the USS Fixyourback.
If you really think you need to get this, just don’t put it in your car. The strap going around the seat could disrupt the side airbag deployment enough to prevent the airbag from doing its job.
@chockrock1 Jokes on you, my car doesn’t have a side airbag…or a air bag at all. Driving late 80’s cars is great.
@chockrock1 @NMA
Until you get into a car accident and get up close and personal with its less cushy bits.
/giphy heinous car accident
@chockrock1 @NMA When you’ve got actual metal between you and the outside you fare better in crashes than fiberglass, eh? our '87 Blazer S10!

If I want a straight back then i will stop giving your mom piggy back rides.

Gee thanks meh. In front of these tens of tens of people, you’ve single-handedly destroyed my childhood dream of opening a chain of international charm schools.
This is another contraption that I’d definitely use.
NOT!!!
So-called “good posture” is just Big Office Furniture lies!! Don’t let them tell you how to sit!
WAKE UP, PEOPLE!
I notice that Mr. Enthusiastic has a Mac. Mr. Grumpy is stuck with Windows. Maybe that is the real root of his problems.
I so wanted to see Glen strapped to this thing in the last picture…
… for better posture of course!
Comments. ALL OF THE ABOVE FOR THE VOTE. Should have been an option…lol
Ouch!
I’d only want one of these, for the office. Would someone be willing to split an order with me Casemates-style?
@Kawa I would
Sorry I’m just not into bdsm.
Without going into ailments, years ago an ingenious orthopedic Dr instructed me to take a towel, roll it tightly, tape it and use it vertically on my spine when sitting. Worked wonders - well, as much as it could on my twisted mess. I don’t see if this is soft filled or hard?
@grammycakes the description says memory foam. Not sure if that helps.
@grammycakes twss
Even I wouldn’t buy this probably.
Price still too high for what is essentially a piece of foam in a weird case. I might be willing to spend $10 for one, but even that would be a stretch.
