Price comparison
You should buy it if…
- You shift around a lot in your seat during the day and nothing else fits well
- You want a genuinely different support technology
Better skip it if…
- You prefer a conventional one-piece backrest
- You need maximum weight capacity (get the Executive instead)
Look at instead: Duorest Executive, Duorest D2
