If you're at an eight-hour desk job for five days a week, you might have trouble getting comfortable in your seat. That could be a sign of poor posture, and it can take forever to get even a little comfortable if you do at all. And of course, poor posture can lead to a whole lot of back problems. Luckily, this Kickstarter project could be the key to improving your posture.

The Zero-Gravity Upright Posture Cushion (aka, the ZGUP Cushion) is a special ergonomic memory foam seat cover that lets you experience what the creators call "weightless sitting," which lets your body naturally contour to better posture along your back and lower body the moment you sit on it.

The cushion releases stress on your spine and hips and reduces pain in your back, neck, and shoulders. It's ideal for desk jobs, but you can also bring it home and have it when you're just lounging on the couch and scrolling through Netflix.

You'll never have to pay meticulous attention to your sitting habits after you take a seat on a ZGUP Cushion. Check out the campaign page to learn more.
