Watch the spot
This product is similar to an item Telebrands tested about this time last year. It's called Royal Posture, and I reviewed it in the July 2014 issue of Response. That either makes this a very delayed 'follower' project or a slow-developing duel. (Or is it a re-positioning of the V-Shape Trainer?) Because of the strange way Telebrands sometimes rolls out projects, it's hard to tell.
S7 Analysis: I have never thought poor posture was a big enough problem for a posture-correction device to be a hit. As for back pain, my review of DRTV history when Royal Posture came out indicated even that common problem may not be as big of a gold mine as previously thought -- although the success of Top Dog's BeActive Brace (a 2014 True Top Spender) calls that analysis into question.
