Your sofa might feel comfy, but is it actually supporting you?
One of the problems with deep, soft sofas is that they can make it very easy to collapse backwards and lose the natural curves of your spine.
It might not feel like much at the time, but the way we sit day after day can gradually increase the strain on the muscles, joints, ligaments and discs of the back.
And that’s really the point. Good posture isn’t about sitting bolt upright or being rigid. It’s about giving your spine the support it needs while you relax.
We’ve explained a bit more about why posture matters, what happens when we slouch and how better support can help in our blog - What Is So Important About Posture Anyway?
