Backs, like feet, come in different shapes and sizes. Just like shoes, back products must fit your unique anatomy.
Knowing your shoe size alone does not guarantee a good fit. Even if the shoe is your size, you have to try it on to be sure it fits. You must similarly "try on" a chair, sleep pillow, or back support to insure that it will fit and function properly. Let comfort be your guide.
To help you select a product in the "size" that fits you best, we provide as much fitting guidance as we can in a catalog format. For example, we have come up with a way to match spinal shapes (for example, deep, average, or flat spinal curvatures), body height and weight, and other individual characteristics, to the size and capacities of the product.
No long-distance fitting method is perfect. The only way to be sure a chair, mattress, pillow or other back care product fits is to try it on and use it for a few hours -- or a few days even. Unfortunately, this is not practical for a mail order business. Most products are not returnable after use. That's why we encourage you to explore your product options with your local vendors first, especially for large furniture items that are expensive to ship.
