Hello, Jake Blackowiak here. I would like to tell you about how the Backgame pad was created.

The problem all started when I was lifting something heavy, which resulted in a partially cracked vertebrae. Not only did this make life hard in general, but since I particularly love to game, this became difficult for me as well. What I realized was my posture was forcing a ton of pressure on the my vertebrae (the cracked one) - which I had never really noticed before because now, the pain was amplified. After some thinking and research I came up with a prototype using spray foam and a tempurpedic pad to solve my posture issue.

Fast forward a couple months - I was SO AMAZED by the results. My back would literally never be sore after gaming. I decided it was time to give this product to other gamers so they could benefit from it as well. You don't need a cracked vertebrae to see the benefits from this pad, you just need to be a hard core gamer who finds themselves leaning forward on their elbows while gaming. So, don't wait another day of hunched over gaming, grab one of my patented Backgame pads and save your back from extra strain with this simple and effective solution!
