Although automotive manufacturers realise vehicle and upholstery designs by considering the body integrity of their potential customers, the existence of certain pains in The human body can't be prevented in various situations. Despite different methods and tools are used to solve the problem of back pain Mutt carious pains, complete solution can't be provided. With this target, a back support design which is shaped according to the person's body ergonomics has been realized with the biomimetic design lens approach, absorbs the load acting on the waist and back contact surfaces depending on the weight of the person and offer comfort above standard. Various solutions found in nature were examined and it was decided to use the spine form in the targeted design, since hedgehog spines have high impact absorbing properties. In this context, the design made with 3 different action scenarios and the back support design used in present were compared. In addition, the design was analyzed ergonomically using the REBA method. While performing the analysis studies, recyclable thermoplastic elastomer hydrogel material was preferred for spines. Consequently, it has been understood that the proposed design will be a more positive alternative compared to the existing designs.
