Lumbar refers to the five vertebrae in the lower-back region. They are named as L1, L2, L3, L4 and L5, starting from the top to bottom. It not only helps to support the weight of the body, but also maintain the curvature of the back. 

‘Lumbar support’ can be anything - a chair, a sofa, a bed, that provides proper support to the lumbar vertebrae. To take care of your lumbar must be your utmost priority. If you sit in an incorrect position, the back of your body gets adversely affected.
