Office workers, busy students, and others who lead mostly sedentary lifestyles will likely benefit from the new EVA Cushion, which is currently being funded on Kickstarter.
Flexible, portable, and easy to clean, the EVA Cushion is perfect for typical office chairs but can also be added to virtually any seat to make it more supportive -- whether it's a concert seat in a stadium, or a lawn chair. The design of the EVA Cushion promotes good posture by properly aligning the pelvis -- elevating the hips to distribute weight more evenly, while also maintaining the body's natural S-Curve. With this, the core muscles in the body are activated, and circulation in the lower body is increased.
