Works so much better than a cushion, a pillow, or a rolled-up towel. I am going to get a second one for the office.

This back roll definitely does the trick for my lower back pain due to degenerative arthritis. I bought two, one for work and the other for my favorite recliner. They strap on to the chairs and stay in place. The material is soft to the touch and does well in the heat.

This back roll provides wonderful support to the lower back. Driving can be very stressful on ones back, and this "pillow" helps a lot.

My car's seat back lacks lower back support which became a real problem after having a muscle spasm in my back. After three weeks of painkillers, massage and exercises did not significantly alleviate my back ache, I tried a makeshift lumbar roll in my car and was getting relief after just a few hours. The advantage of this model is the strap that holds it to the seat back. When I get into the car, it takes just a minor adjustment to the right height and I am ready to drive. The ache is gone but I'm keeping it there to maintain the lordosis needed to prevent further problems.

I have been using this product since 1990, and it has been a lifesaver for me. I tried many other lumbar supports and none worked nearly as well as this one. However, all were highly regarded by other back sufferers. What this shows is that each individual's back pain is highly idiosyncratic, and if you are a back sufferer, you need to shop around and find the aid that is best for you. It appears from the reviews that the McKenzie lumbar roll has been good for a large number of people, so if I were new to this game and seeking relief for the first time, I would certainly give it a try. My next comment is that the strap has not worked for me. I took it off with the first roll and have never looked back. Not using the strap means that my roll is constantly being inserted (manually, each time I sit down) at different orientations. This is probably why I have not experienced the "flattening" that several reviewers complain about. My last point is that the firmness of a lumbar support is one of the most personalized features that back sufferers should be seeking -- a firmness that pleases one person will be too hard or soft for others. That being so, you need to experiment. I have found the standard McKenzie roll to be exactly right for me, after I have used it for a couple of weeks. It DOES soften up a bit, but for me that is perfect. If you find the standard firmness too soft after some use, then try the firmer one. To summarize, I literally cannot live without this product. It goes with me everywhere. I have lost many over the years -- I am logging in now to order two more, having forgotten one recently on an airplane. however, I always have spares, at work and at home, and am replenishing my spare supply right now. If you are a back sufferer like me (I once spent six months laid up in bed with back pain), then try this product.

This lumbar roll, I take everywhere! I use it at work and on car rides. It has improved my posture and my back is feeling so much better. It is a small expense for great results!

If you have back pain Or anykind of pain when sitting. This product works well. U can put it behind your back/lumbar area. Or if it hurts your legs/butt, to sit...You can also put it under your butt too.I would suggest this product to people w/ nerve damage, back pain, or siatic pain too

I was in a car accident and needed extra support for my back at work and in my car....This product is great....lightweight and I can carry it anywhere!

i sit at work, and my lower back has started hurting within the last few months. i went to a chiropractor, and afterwards decided to buy a few things to help stretch/support my back, particularly while i'm sitting as this exasperates my pain. it has been a little over a week and i think this little pillow feels comfortable and helps support my back. i will probably order a few more, one for a gift and one for my car. this is SO much better than the "kiss my back" which i got at BB&B.

It makes my back feel better. You need to take the plastic off and squeeze it because it is very firm. My pt person told me to get this particular type.

This product has definitely made my 30-min. each way commute a lot easier on my back. Having it there also helps remind me to think about my posture and not slouch.I haven't ever tried any similar kind of item before, but in my opinion this is a great product.

I have had one of these for a few years now. I bought one when I had some bad back pain due to 4 herniated discs. I use mine in my car and bring it in to work every day. I purchased this one for my father who started to have back problems. When he got it and started using it (at home, in the car, etc.) he said he started to feel relief right away. All chairs, car seating, and sofas have poor designs for correct back support. This does the trick. I personally remove the positioning strap as it just got in teh way for me.

This product is exactly what I expected and it easily attaches to any chair with a long and adjustable strap. Excellent!

This lumbar roll makes sitting at a desk a lot more comfortable regardless of what kind of chair you are sitting in. Very good product for people with any kind of back problem.

This is the BEST Lumbar Support that I have found. Prior to ordering it, I could not make a road trip comfortably at all. I just returned from a 5 hour trip with no problems. In fact, it was very comfortable. It stays in my car at all times.

This is the first roll of any kind that I have used. I started using it on the chair I use while using the computer and then in the car for drives lasting an hour or more. I even took it to a Chicago White Sox baseball game. I am very satisfied with the product. Whenever using this, pain in my back either doesn't occur or immediately diminishes (depending on when I use it), and my awareness of my posture, and I think my posture itself, have started to improve since using this product.

I am fully satisfied and it helps to reduce pain in backIt is comfortable and not bulky

Absolutely what I was looking for. Truly has made a huge difference in my posture and my neck pain. I don't go anywhere without one of these.

I love this lumbar roll. I use it in my office chair and it has made a big difference in my back issues.

After suffering from periodic lower back pain for many years, I have found significant help through the use of the McKenzie method--which can be found in his book--and with the help of the Lumbar Roll. I highly recommend it.
