DXRacer: Adjustable Head and Lumbar Pillows

Adjustable Head and Lumbar Pillows

Unless specified, each chair comes with head and lumbar pillows. The head pillows can be put on 1 of 2 ways, either over the top or through the eye holes.

Ideally you should always thread the pillow through the eyeholes. If you prefer the pillow to be higher up, just slip it over the top.

For the U shaped head pillow, the same instructions apply.

If your chair doesn’t have eyeholes, you should be able to just slip the pillow over the top.


Right now, the only chair series that don’t come with a head pillow are the Boss and Classic Series. For those two, the head pillow is built into the chair.


For the lumbar pillow, we offer two different adjustable options. The first option uses four straps, two that go through the eyeholes at the top, and two that go underneath the chair at the bottom.

The second option requires you to feed the velcro strap behind the back cushion of the chair. Take one side of the lumbar pillow and hold it, while feeding the velcro strap around the other side. It sounds harder than it is, so check the GIF below.


One of the most common questions we get is “Where should I put the pillows for maximum ergonomic comfort?”


As with most things involving ergonomics, it’s really based on your personal preference. There are some days when I have it up by my mid-back, and there are others where it doesn’t leave my lumbar and low back. The best part about the pillows is that they’re adjustable and modular. Want to use a lumbar pillow with no head pillow? Do that. Not feeling the lumbar pillow today? Take it off.
