Things like the height of your couch, the filling quality, how you sit on it and how long you spend there could all affect your posture and possibly lead to back pain.
Did you know that your couch can significantly impact your posture?
Working in collaboration with UK furniture retailer DFS, Dr Laura Knowles, a chiropractor and posture expert, explains: In a press statement, Dr Knowles shares four tips for maintaining good posture while sitting on the couch. Sitting all day is terrible for your health -- study finds a relatively easy way to counteract itFirstly, you need to know how to position yourself correctly on your couch if you're about to sit down to watch TV. Sit directly facing the television screen and place your feet flat on the floor with your hips against the back of the seat, advises Dr Knowles.
Craving a nap on the couch? Lie flat on your back and support your neck with a cushion. Add another cushion under your knees to reduce tension on the lower back. The height of your couch is important for good posture. You do not want a couch that allows your hips to sink below your knees, as it may cause you to slump forward, adding stress to the spine.
