OPTP The Original McKenzie Lumbar Roll – USA-Made Low Back Lumbar Support for Office Chair & Car Seat Back Support Cushion. The Preferred Lumbar Pillow by Physical Therapists - Firm Density

Purchased this a few months ago and what a shame I didn't have this sooner. I drive a lot and have lower back issues. this helps me to be more comfortable while driving and has improved my back issues quite a bit. I will be taking this with me on my next flight as well.

This thing is great for your back

Nice little pillow for you lower back! Use in your car, office chair, or just lounging around at home.

Love this roll! Is really great on the back, hasn’t lost its shape. Lightweight to carry about and use in different places.

I have a bunch of lumbar back rests. This one is by far the best. Because it is so thick and never slips around. Easy to position. Save your back !You can even wear it if you want. But I just attached to my Steelcase Series 2 office chair instead.

Im not sure about this item, it hurt my back, its to big around, pushes hard on your SPINE. Go to try the small size. Im 6' 250. So Im not a small person by any means. I cant fathem a smaller enjoyibg it! NOT MY FIRST LUMBAR ROLL, IVE USING THEM FOR ALMOST 40 YEAR, this is the first one that I've ever returned!

Firm and comfortable

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).
