Q: How does it work?

A: Our Backgame pad helps alleviate back pain by simply forcing your back to straighten while gaming. Most gamers lean forward on their knees while gaming. This forces your back to arch and hump in a forward, down position because your knees are at a lower inflection point then your lower back. By placing the pad on your knees and resting your elbows on them, it raises your inflection point and allows your back to straighten. After hours of gaming, the soreness won’t be there like usual because your back isn’t bearing any weight, instead the weight is distributed to your elbows which are resting comfortably on the pad.

Q: What is the pad made from?

A: The pad is made from a high quality, dense, polymer foam with a removable neoprene black cover that is washable. The pads total weight is less than 3 pounds so it won’t apply any extra weighted pressure on your knees.

Q: How do you use it? Sit on it? Place it behind your back?

A: The pad works by placing in on your knees while gaming, so when you lean forward, your elbows are resting on the pad instead of your knees so that your back doesn’t bear any weight or hunch forward, which often leads to prolonged back pain or muscle spasms. Alternatively, if you are using it while operating a pc (instead of a Console system such as Xbox or PlayStation) you can place it in front of your keyboard or between your arm rests and your chair and lean on it that way as well.

Q: How much does it cost and has anyone used it yet?

A: The pad is only $49.99 and available on our website backgamepad.com You will also find more information on how the pad works, as well as non-paid testimonials from customers who have used it.
