This product was recommended by my physical therapist, and it is fantastic! I have several bulging discs, and to drive my car for any length of time, its very painful. With this item, it supports my back in the exact spot that helps me not have pain at all. This is a fantastic item. I totally recommend this. Some are cheaper, but I would just stick to this original item, cost is nothing compared to quality and comfort.

I have had chronic lower back pain for over 40 years, and countless surgeries have not alleviated my pain. I have to actively and continually manage my pain levels anyway I am able. That includes the use of lumbar cushions. The one spot that has been most aggravating for me is the sofa. Every lumbar pillow I have tried there has been a fail, that is, until I found this one. First of all, the strap is a huge help - the pillow stays precisely where I need the relief. The support is amazing - not too much, and not too little, but just right. I love this thing.

My friend is a physical therapist, and I went to see her because of lower back pain. I work long hours at my desk. I bought a nicer designer looking office chair, not knowing that for as nice as it looked it was going to be uncomfortable to sit in. She had one of these at her clinic and told me ditch the chair or get the right support. For now, I'm opting for the support. The bands have lots of stretch, I was able to attach it to my chair in no time. It's made a huge difference in my posture, and has added to the comfort factor. I still may need to nix the chair, but this has helped with some of my pain, for sure.

This is a good product and comes just as it is described. I have one suggestion, perhaps make the strap, that goes around the chair, a little bit longer. My husband uses it in a recliner, and the strap will not go all the way around that type of chair. We bought two of these items, and they work well for straight back chairs and for the car’s seat. The product gives good support, and we appreciate that it comes in two different types of support.

It is very firm but will soften up a bit with use.

First, to address the 3 main concerns I saw in the bad reviews before deciding to purchase:1. Yes, it IS difficult to stuff the foam back into its cover after removing the plastic. That said, I also struggle to get the foam back in my dog's orthopedic bed after washing the cover. That's just how it is if you want foam that fills the cover.2. The cover IS NOT a heavy high quality material. This probably isn't something you would want a thick cover for, though - it would diminish the benefits of the foam. Do you encase your memory foam mattress in heavy canvas? Probably not, because it wouldn't feel as nice or be as effective. However, the cover WILL likely tear with frequent removal/washing.3. Foam breakdown. This I can't speak on because I haven't had it long enough. I will say that you shouldn't leave it in your car because heat breaks foam down pretty fast. It also breaks down with heavy daily use, which is one of the reasons running shoes don't last forever.Those are valid concerns, but I feel they would be the same for any roll made with this type of foam.Now for the PROS:1. This is the first time I've been able to sit down, without lower back pain, in a while. This thing is perfect. If the cover rips, I will repair it.2. See #1 above.I went back and forth trying to decide between standard and firm. Ultimately, I decided on firm because at 5'7 and 200lb I'm on the heavier side. I can see how some would find it too hard, but it's just right for me. I can use it in chairs, and even lay on it on the squishy couch (but I think it would be too hard to try that on a less forgiving surface).

Made a long drive bearable. Bad back survived 200 miles. Position it above lumbar area and it massages my thoracic spine and trapezius very well
