HoMedics BRF-1 Massaging Back Rest review – Provides Good Back Support and Some Massage

This Massaging Back Rest by HoMedics is great for what it is intended for, a backrest that I could use while reading in bed. What makes it nicer is that it has a vibrating motion that is passable as a massager. For its price I don’t think massage is its main feature.

I’m happy with it as a backrest because I can afford to be in bed and do some work using my laptop. It’s a straight back kind of thing which initially disappointed me but the more I used it, the more I appreciated the straight back feature. I wouldn’t be able to work on my laptop if it’s in a reclined position.

In fact, it was my husband who pointed out to me that the reason I often get back pains is due to my improper sitting postures. Providing my back with proper support is the only way I can correct back pains. Now the massage features become helpful after every occasion that I sat on the bed working. It sort of closes the working hours I spent, by simply sitting upright with my back against the back rest. All its straightness and some pseudo massage motions can ease away the stress.

It‘s a nice product not spectacular and outstanding as the massage cushion but something useful enough to provide comfort. It’s not a hassle to have around because I simply fold it and let it become part of the bed. The material is neutral suede-like fabric that easily blends with my bed covers.   Of course the cup holders are convenient but I hardly use it for my coffee and any kind of beverage that may cause some stain. It would lose its nice crisp clean appeal if it gets marred by coffee or juice stains. I use it only to hold bottled water. The pockets are nice, but again, the material will lose its smoothness. So rather than let it turn shabby with use, I simply let it have its own place on my bed, sometimes folded, sometimes not.

A nice and pleasing product to own and even to give as a gift; it is highly recommended.
