Nowadays, the interest and awareness of the importance of ergonomic seating is widespread. Most people know what lumbar support is and could tell you the specific vertebrae that gives them the most trouble in their back. This need for comfortable seating carries over directly into the church

With the proper kind of foam and construction, your church chair shouldn't need additional "help" to be comfortable.

Don't be surprised to hear reports that people are able to sit longer and that their backs don't give them trouble at all while they are seated in the church chair.
