The Intervertebral disc relief cube was delivered in a company-owned box for our product test. The box was printed with the product name, weight and size information and was located in perfect condition. Opening the box was effortless using a cutter. Inside the box the product was rolled up and vacuum packed in plastic film to find. The leather-look cover was also packaged separately in plastic wrap. We believe that there are more sustainable packaging alternatives than plastic film and packaging the cover was not necessary. Both the cube and the cover were in perfect condition and left a high-quality impression. A detailed one Instructions for use in German with pictures was also included.

It was convincing in our practical test Intervertebral disc relief cube through his ergonomic design, which relieves the pressure on the intervertebral discs when lying down as well as when sittingoptimal support of the spine offers. The adaptability of the cold foam material allows it to be perfectly adapted to the individual body shape.
