Portable Pillow Alleviates Both Back & Neck Pain
INSIDER TIP: Bucky's Baxter lumbar pillow provides firm and flexible support that's easy to take with you and environmentally friendly.
 Even for those living active lifestyles, aging inevitably finds us spending more of our time seated, whether due to mobility limitations, fatigue, or back pain. Anyone who has ever sat the wrong way knows just how important it is to sit comfortably, not only to reduce pain and strain while seated, but also to get the most out of our active time. Bucky's Baxter pillow is a great way for those with lower back pain to get extra support. Though there are a wide selection of back pillows to choose from, the Baxter is unique because of it is filled with a special material: environmentally-friendly buckwheat hulls. Unlike typical pillow filler, buckwheat hulls don't compress when pressure is applied to them, instead they shift inside their casing, providing firm, adaptive support. Though designed as a lumbar pillow, the Baxter works equally well as a neck pillow or a bolster for maintaining back alignment while sleeping. With two webbed handles at either end for easy transportation and adjustment, it's a handy companion from home to car to doctor's office, or anywhere else your loved one could use a little added cushioning.
Inexpensively priced at $19.95, the Baxter comes in a washable cotton velour covering in warm stone(grey) or black.
Refresher: The Bucky Baxter is an easy and environmentally friendly way to get more back support anywhere you go.
