Slide a small lumbar pillow under your lower back to support the lumbar spine, just as you would in a chair.

If your daily grind involves a lot of chair time, a happier back is certain to improve your focus. An even smoother slumber – Perhaps your inadequate daytime seating keeps you up at night, or maybe you need a little more spinal support in bed. Either way, consistently giving your back quality support is certain to give you superior sleep. Better digestion – Back-breaking posture can lead to some serious stomach-churning. How? Slouching creates pressure on your midsection.

How to Choose a Lumbar Pillow Are you dreaming of a better back already? The future of a fancy-free spine awaits you. Before you head out to get your hands on a lumbar pillow, here are a few things to keep in mind Try out different shapes for different spaces – Lumbar pillows come in different shapes and pillow sizes. You may want a more contoured pillow for your office chair or a smaller pillow for use in the car. The Casper Backrest Pillow comes in an ergonomic teardrop design, making it a superb choice for resting and relaxing. Check for durability – Since you’ll be using your lumbar support pillow often, it’s important to find one that will stand up to a little wear and tear. Check to see what kind of outer layer the pillow uses, if it will stand up to repeated use, and if the cover can be removed when it’s time to give it a wash. See what firmness works for you – While a thin layer of soft cushion may still feel heavenly against your aching back, a pillow without enough firmness won’t help the issue in the long term. For an optimal outcome, you’ll want to find a pillow with the right balance of comfort and support. The Backrest Pillow from Casper features a supportive inner foam layer and a soft fiber outer layer to give you all-over comfort. For some, choosing the right lumbar pillow could mean finding one that matches their home aesthetic. For others, it may necessitate purchasing more than one to keep them in multiple places. Ultimately, when choosing the right lumbar support pillow, the most important thing is to choose the one you’ll enjoy using often.

Cara membedakan sampo asli dan palsu – Beberapa waktu lalu, Polda Banten berhasil mengungkap kasus tindak pidana perdagangan kosmetik palsu, berupa sampo dan minyak rambut berbagai merek terkenal. Di dalam rangkaian penggeledahan, penyidik menemukan beragam kemasan merek sampo terkenal seperti Gatsby, Sunsilk, Dove, Clear, sampai Head and Shoulders. Pihak kepolisian menyatakan, berbagai merek terkenal ini sering ditemukan di warung dan toko kecil, sehingga secara kasat mata sulit untuk dibedakan mana yang palsu dan asli. Namun, ada beberapa perbedaan sampo asli dan palsu yang bisa dijadikan acuan konsumen saat akan membeli produk. Kasubdit Indag Ditreskrimsus Polda Banten Kompol Condro Sasongko menjelaskan, ada beberapa perbedaan produk sampo palsu dan asli. “Rekatan antar saset masih renggang, warna cairan lebih cerah, komposisinya tidak kental, serta wanginya lebih menyengat,” ujar Condro dalam keterangannya, dikutip Minggu 2/1.

Ada berbagai bahan baku yang digunakan, misalnya seperti soda api, alkohol 96%, lem, pewarna makanan dan bahan pengawet. Untuk itu, penggunaan berkelanjutan dari produk sampo ini dapat mengakibatkan iritasi kulit. “Pelaku bahkan mengimpor rol cetakan saset dari Cina, sehingga kemasannya menjadi tampak seperti asli,” tegas Condro. Pada saat pengecekan gudang, Condro mengatakan penyidik menemukan fakta bahwa pemilik gudang tersebut tidak memiliki legalitas dan perizinan berusaha. Pemilik gudang bahkan tidak memiliki kontrak kerja sama dengan perusahaan pemilik merek, yaitu PT Unilever. “Usaha ilegal ini berpindah-pindah, sudah 3 tahun beroperasi dengan omzet Rp200 juta per bulan, sehingga tidak heran bila pengelola gudang mampu menggaji karyawannya dengan Rp15 juta per bulan,” tutur Condro.

Pelaku mengedarkan sampo dan minyak rambut palsu tak hanya di wilayah Provinsi Banten saja, melainkan ke berbagai daerah di Indonesia. Condro menjelaskan, peredaran sampo palsu ini ada di Banten, Lampung, Palembang dikirim melalui ekspedisi.
