ABSTRACT:
An ergonomic weight support device for a seat has a flexible pressure plate attached to an extending paddle for lumbar support. The paddle extends from a housing having a channel into which the paddle may be retracted for the lumbar support to be flat, or from which the paddle may be extended for lumbar support. The flexible pressure plate distributes lumbar supporting pressure across a greater area for comfort.
