Orevive SpineEase for the car and long drives

• Use it as a passenger or while parked, not while driving
• Don't let it change your driving position or reach to the pedals
• Make sure your seatbelt sits correctly
• Keep sessions to around 15 minutes
• Never leave it switched on in an unattended car

Sitting still for hours with little support for the inward curve of the lower back can leave you stiff. Regular breaks — Australian road safety advice is to stop every two hours — do more than any product.

The seller doesn't publish whether SpineEase plugs into a car's 12V socket, a USB port or runs on a battery, or how long the cord is. Ask before buying if car use is the main reason you want it.

• A simple non-heated lumbar roll
• Adjusting your seat's built-in lumbar support
• Planned stops to stretch and walk

• May suit: people who sit for long stretches at a desk, in the car or on the couch and enjoy warmth behind the lower back
• May suit: anyone who wants a simple one-button cushion rather than a complicated massager
• May suit: buying for a parent or partner who finds heat packs fiddly
• Skip it if you want a deep, kneading massage — it uses gentle vibration
• Skip it if you're hoping to treat a diagnosed back condition — it's a comfort product, not a treatment
• Check with your GP first if you're pregnant, have a pacemaker, reduced heat sensitivity or recent surgery
