Sitting at an office desk several hours at a time is all it takes for my back to start hurting. I’ve found a multipurpose crescent shaped pillow that provides lumbar support as well as a variety of other uses. It is called the Smushion, and it is made up lightweight high quality memory foam material with a micro-fiber suede finish.
Smushion Review
My immediate use for the Smushion was for lumbar support while blogging at my desk. I really like how the memory foam conforms to my back, while not slipping and sliding on my chair. It is super soft and makes sitting at my desk way more comfortable.

Elijah, my 6 year old son quickly discovered the Smushion and took it to his room. He wanted to use it as a pillow because it is so soft.
Other uses for the Smushion include:
- Use as an ottoman on top of your hard coffee table
- Lap desk
- Knee support
- Lumbar support

I like that it is versatile in uses so you can take it from room to room and use it as needed. I even use it under my knees while lying on my back, this gets my back in better alignment so I can rest. Otherwise, I usually can’t fall asleep on my back because after a while my back starts hurting. The Smushion has helped me to be able to sleep on my back again. Plus, the covers are machine washable, perfect for families!
