Perfect for a church pew
I have scoliosis and arthritis in my spine. Sitting in the padded church pew with wooden backs had become so uncomfortable to my SI joints that I couldn’t sit still. This is perfect to use to support my lower back. It makes sitting there far more comfortable. If it means anything to you, my husband’s comment after the first time I used it was that I must have been more comfortable because I sat still.

Does the job!
Does the job! Needed extra lumbar support for my office chair and it gives me relief from a back injury. A little pricey which is why I give 4 stars.

its helps for neck pain and back pain.
I have tried varies back support for car and office chair from varies brands. This one is perfect fit. Again each one need different level of support but this one is perfect fit for me.I had terrible neck pain due to incorrect posture in office chair and car. After lot’s of trail and error I found poor back support along with not using correct height for monitor was causing this issue. Now started using this for lower back and increased monitor height for correct height and pain free. Your sitting posture is 100% important and this pillow alone will not solve the problem if you can’t correct other ergonomic postures. But this helps to align your back and this supports the neck. From my experience neck pain was caused by poor support for lower back and incorrect posture even though I had thought lower back support has nothing to do with neck pain.I also purchased same slimline support for my car and its really helps for car driving.Please note all these supports will feel uncomfortable at first but you will get used to use after few days. I don’t write review often but here i am writing to help others with similar problem. The slimline is more soft and you might need different support but McKenzie provides different products based on need. so research before you make the purchase.

Perfect height and thickness if you just need a little more support
This is the perfect size and thickness for lumbar support for my car and office chair, where I just needed a little more support. Our sofa, which completely lacks lumbar support, needs a thicker pad, so I use the OPTP Original Lumbar Roll for the sofa.

Nice size for travel and provides firm support
I bought this lumbar support pillow about three months ago when I was dealing with severe sciatica pain. Since I was pretty much living in my recliner, the pillow worked just fine even though the strap is not long enough to use on the recliner. If you squeeze the pillow with your fingers, the foam seems to be soft and squishy. However, when leaning against it, it really doesn’t have any give. Again, this was fine in the recliner, but not so much in a hardback chair or lying in bed; then it seems to be hard as a rock and hurts my back and aggravates my sciatica rather than help. The zippered mesh cover is soft and easy to put on and take off. I haven’t used the strap yet, so can’t comment on how well that works. It is the perfect size for travel; but, for home use, it could be an inch or two wider. Other than that, it seems to be durable and should last a long time. I would recommend it if you want firm support for your lower back, but not so much if you’re looking for pillow-soft support.

I carry this in my car and have even taken it on plane trips. This particular product was recommended by my PT

SUBSTANDARD and NOT AS SPECIFIED
The lumbar-support pad that I received lacks symmetry (not aesthetically pleasing). The material that was used, to manufacture this product, seems no better than the material used in similar pads that cost a lot less. Moreover, the McKenzie pad does not fit properly on the back of my Ergonomic Mesh Office Chair, and keeps slipping downward, which defeats its intended purpose. I chose this product over the less expensive ones from other sellers because, based on how it was specified, I was led to believe that its higher price (twice the cost of similar lumbar-support cushions in the marketplace), meant better quality, but it turned out to be the opposite. Overall, to me this pad is substandard. It is not made to fit ALL types of chairs and is overpriced. Potential buyers may experience something quite different, depending on their own expectations, standards, and the type of chair on which the pad will be used.

Recommended by our company ergonomic/OT specialist. Not to firm but added good support. Will buy a second one for home use. More expensive than others but definitely worth the price

O apoio lombar foi a solução para a dor nas costas causada pelo banco do carro. Mesmo o ajuste de prender o apoio não fixando muito bem no lugar, o produto superou as expectativas! Realmente funciona! A dor nas costas parou!
