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

Nice and firm. Compact and not too large, but wide enough for a guy. Great for office chairs.

Very nice quality neck roll.

Well made, but like others mentioned, an adjustable instead of elastic strap would be an improvement. I would get the smaller one for work use: this size puts me so far forward in my chair, I am on the edge. Maybe this is better for use in a car? The density/ support is great, though: muuuch better than a bunched up pillow. Good for preventing pain when I sit up to read in bed.

Needed back support while sitting this is perfect. Great quality not complicated, worth the price

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).

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!

I discovered I needed a lumbar pillow in my car for my back many years ago. So I bought this particular pillow. Well I had it for over ten years. Then it mysteriously was gone. Probably fell out of my car at night as I work nights. So I ordered anew one, exact same one. About a week after I was using it, a hissing sound of air started coming out of it, and it was working more like a temper-pedic, not staying firm. Not terribly, just not giving the support needed. So I took it to UPS, got a big envelope, as I tossed the original. Not needed! I just handed them the pillow right out of my hands and that was it! Next day a brand new replacement at my door!Pretty impressive company. Now I'm checking out the mini catalog enclosed, may order something else. Oh yeah, and the car pillow has saved my lower back.
