Abstract
Abstract An adjustable back support device comprises a seat cover snugly enclosing the seat back of a car seat, and a basic set of three cushions. The seat cover and the shells of the cushions are made of fastening-loop fabric. The cushions also include fastening-hook strips disposed thereon, so that they can be individually attached to the seat cover for supporting different parts of a user's body, such as the neck, upper back, and lumbar area. The cushions can be easily and precisely positioned to suit individual users, and can be attached anywhere on the seat cover for supporting other parts of a user's body. Fewer or more cushions can be used if desired to suit individual preferences.
