Recently purchased a mattress from Mike for my husbands back. My husbands back pain improved 75% after one nights sleep. Overall very impressed by Mikes service and generosity in sharing his knowledge. He gave a lot of good tips on improving my husbands bad posture and workplace set up. He was very patient and answered all of our questions as well as giving a complimentary treatment. As a fellow health practitioner, I can vouch for Mikes professionalism and genuine desire to help people, and it was a much more pleasant experience than going to a retail store and be subjected to

I recentley pruchased the Discover computer chair from Furniture for Backs and I can't believe how good the chair feels. The chair was delivered assembled so I didnt have to set it up nor get rise of all its packaging. I needed help adjusting the chair to suit my body. Dr Mike spent about 15 minutes on the phone isntructing me how to systematically set it up which was awesome. You won't get the service anywhere!

After working from home for some time throughout lockdown, i developed severe back pain from sitting in a poor desk chair. I was referred from a friend to see Mike. He sat me down in the showroom, assessed my posture, gave me tips and tricks to reduce the stress on my back and recommenced the 'Discovery Chair'. Not only do i recommend this product as the quality is great but to speak with someone who showed genuine care even after my purchase to assemble the chair and changed the settings that were tailored to me was really appreciated.

Recently bought a king-size mattress and base from Mike at Furniture for Backs. I thought if anyone is going to know anything about getting the right mattress for my sore back, hell know. I did the usual Google thing and came across him. After chatting with him for 10 minutes you could tell he knew his stuff and much more. I ended up buying the orthopaedic ultimate with a medium feel. I am now sleeping through the night with no more back pain and feeling fresh when I wake.

I suffer from degenerative lumbar disc from years of footy. I was strongly recommended to see Mike whom is an expert in furniture prescription for those with injuries. I spent $2,750 and bought myself a top of the range mattress, computer chair and standing desk. I cannot believe the difference this has made to my life. The back is not perfect but I'm functioning as good as I ever have. He has essentially impacted two thirds of my life: my sleep and work systems. I am going to send everyone I know to this man. Thanks Mike

Extremely satisfied with my new office chair. Michael was incredibly gracious to take the time to perform a ergonomic assessment to ensure I got the correct chair for my requirements. Highly recommend Michael and his services.
