Posture-Improving Stuffed Animals

Funbaruzu is a Supportive Companion to Help Improve Posture

— February 28, 2023 — Lifestyle
Funbaruzu is a new adorable design that is ergonomically focused. It helps users maintain a good posture while sitting in their chairs over long periods of time. The furry design is from Japan and anatomically designed to help those as they work. The animals all have a solid 'healthy heart' that supports the torso and props up effortlessly.

The character's arms and legs are connected to the desk so that the body will not hunch over. The adorable options include a sloth, rabbit, hear, or an orangutan -- each one has its own unique name and personality. The sloth is Nosly who is very relaxed, Brownie the bear who likes baking, Hop the rabbit is very sheltered, and Ootan the orangutan is cheeky.
