Eco-Friendly Backrest Redesign in 2022
In 2022, we initiated a redesign for the eco-friendly backrest, adding three adjustable positions.
Adjustable Angles for Optimal Comfort
The new backrest can be adjusted to three distinct angles, these angles support various activities like working, reading, and resting:
- Upright (105°)
- Relaxed (120°)
- Reclined (135°)
Lumbar and Headrest Support for Personalized Comfort
A lumbar pillow was included to provide support for different users’ back shapes and sizes. Additionally, we incorporated a headrest pillow that can be adjusted or removed according to user comfort.
Sustainable and Non-Toxic Materials
We decided to stay with Medex for its sustainability and ensured that all finishes and adhesives used are non-toxic and environmentally friendly. We prioritized durability by selecting materials with a long lifespan, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
Improved Adjustability with User-Friendly Strap
We improved the adjustability by replacing our previous screw-in format with a user-friendly adjustable strap, making it simpler to change the backrest positions.
Optional Components to Enhance Your Backrest Experience

Frequently Asked Questions
How Does the Eco Backrest Work?
The Eco Backrest is a simple way to relax your entire body, allowing it to rest in a position called ‘spine nuetral’. This position is as restful as laying down, yet with the Eco Backrest you can still do activities like working on a laptop, reading, playing with children and hanging out with friends. This is a way to restore your energy without taking a nap.
About The Eco Backrest Design
The Eco Backrest is composed of several peices that can be put together and taken apart quickly. This makes it versatile to be used in many ways. The front comprises of a long cushion, divided into two parts: a long trapaziodal cushion for the back, and a small rectangular section for the seat. This cushion ties on to the back frame with straps which supports the back and two protruding “fins” that support the frame to sit upright. The fins are held together with a crossbar. The fins are adjustable, giving the Eco Backrest the option to placed in different lounge positions.
For more on assembly and use, see the videos below.
How Many Positions Are There?
The Eco Backrest has four front facing upright positions. There are six screw holes in the back support. The fins can be placed either in the top and middle holes, or the middle and bottom holes. This gives you two angles. For the other two angles, use these screw holes, but flip the fin upside down. Simply adjust the fin piece to the desired angle. The four angles give options for relaxation, reading, laptop work, or meditation support.
The Eco Backrest has numerous other possibilities if you take off the fins completely and lay it down. You can lean it against something, or place an Eco Cube under the back support for working or reading on your stomach. Laying flat it easily becomes a massage table prop.
See video below for more about assembly and use.
How Easy Is It To Change Positions?
Changing the positions of the fins on the back support takes a few minutes, but it not hard. No tools are needed. Simply unscrew the thumb screws and lift the fin assemble to the desired position and rescrew the thumb screws.
Can I Use Eco Backrests Instead Of A Couch?
The Eco Backrest works great for group seating, and have the added benefit of being modular and portable. They are sturdy, supportive chairs designed for comfort first.
What Our Customers Are Saying
I bought your Eco Backrest™ set because since I’ve started working from home, I’ve been switching positions at least a few times a day, but I’m finding that the ways I’m sitting and laying ar far from healthy! I tried to rig up something like it with pillows–but they’re just not cuting it. I also want something that I can move from my bed to my office floor and back easily. I’m super excited to put this to good use!! Thanks so much!
The EcoBackrest™ became an excellent tool to help educate my body on what exactly were beneficial positions of ease while relaxing. After the ‘right’ amount of lounge sitting, my body would be ready to get up and move again. It is also holding up well to much use.
I had purchased the Tilt Seat™ and Eco Backrest™ to make my office station. It has made it so I can work a full day without having major neck and back pain.
This is the most comfortable seat I’ve ever used. It’s also easy to move from room to room. The materials are top notch.

I’ve had the Eco Backrest for 5 or 6 years now. The kapok has compressed some, but an occasional fluff and “beat” keeps it supportive.
Sitting in this chair is drastically better for my spine than a conventional recliner or sofa, and I have virtually no back pain even after an hour or two.
The adjustable reclining angle makes for a versatile seat and allows me to alternate how gravity is vectoring through my body. I also like that I can vary my leg/hip position as needed. I use a bolster under the knees or cross legged with yoga blocks under the thighs for support (buckwheat yoga blocks are perfect). Often I place my feet flat on the floor drawn in close to the seat – really opens low back. I can take the angle adjustment off altogether and lay it down on some pillows, bolsters, blocks, etc and get horizontal either supine or prone.
Finally, I love the energetics of the EM whey finish on the wood.
I am an alignment based body worker and I highly recommend this for anyone with spine issues, or wants to avoid them.

The Carolina Morning Eco Backrest lounge chair is haven of comfort and relaxation.
As a person who’s been managing chronic pain for many years, I chose this chair because its ergonomic design. The adjustable backrest allows me to find the perfect position, cradling my body and minimizing tension. With multiple levels of recline, the chair allows me to either sit upright or lounge at various positions. Living in a small NYC apartment, I need multi-purpose furnitures and this chair is perfect for my needs.
Carolina Morning uses high-quality, organic, and earth-friendly materials. When I received the chair, I can see and feel the quality build and sturdiness. Once it’s fully assembled, it firmly sits on the floor, no wobble at all.
In addition, putting the chair together was a breeze, a major plus for someone who isn’t particularly handy. Plus, it’s surprisingly lightweight and portable, making it easy to move around the house to find my perfect reading nook or sunbeam.
To truly elevate my experience, I purchased their yoga bolster as a leg rest and their Japanese buckwheat pillow for extra back support. These additions transformed the chair into an ultimate comfort zone.
Overall, the Carolina Morning Lounge Chair is a fantastic investment for anyone prioritizing ergonomic support, luxurious comfort, and eco-friendly design. With its easy assembly and portability, it’s a winner in my book.
