The Original McKenzie Lumbar Roll by OPTP is a game-changer when it comes to providing much-needed support and comfort for your low back while sitting in office chairs or car seats. One of the standout features of this lumbar roll is its ergonomic design. The contoured shape is specifically engineered to fit the natural curve of your lower back, providing optimal support and promoting healthy posture. Whether you're sitting for extended periods at your desk or on a long road trip, this lumbar roll helps maintain proper alignment and reduces strain on your back. The quality of the materials used in this lumbar roll is exceptional. The foam filling is firm enough to provide substantial support, yet it still remains comfortable for extended use. The cover is made from durable and breathable fabric, ensuring that it withstands daily use and allows for good airflow to prevent sweating or discomfort. Another great advantage is the versatility of the Original McKenzie Lumbar Roll. It comes with an adjustable strap that allows you to secure it to any chair or car seat, ensuring it stays in place throughout the day. The compact size makes it easy to bring along wherever you go, whether it's to the office, during travel, or even to use on your favorite armchair at home. Using the lumbar roll is effortless. Simply place it in the curve of your lower back, adjust the strap, and you'll immediately feel the support it provides. The firmness of the roll gently encourages proper posture, which can help alleviate and prevent back pain caused by poor sitting habits. One potential downside is that the lumbar roll may take some time to get used to, especially if you're not accustomed to sitting with proper lumbar support. However, with consistent use, you'll find that it greatly improves your sitting experience and helps alleviate any existing back discomfort. Overall, The Original McKenzie Lumbar Roll by OPTP is a highly effective and durable product that offers exceptional low back support. It promotes proper posture, reduces strain on the spine, and provides ample comfort for extended periods of sitting. Whether you're dealing with chronic back pain or simply want to improve your sitting habits, this lumbar roll is a fantastic investment for anyone in need of reliable and portable low back support.

I'm a physical therapist by trade. I remember learning about diagnosis and treatment of lumbar spine using McKenzie Method, otherwise known as MDT in the therapy world. This pillow is intended to supplement that philosophy, and improve sitting posture and support. This lumbar pillow is nice because you can position it right over the segment of your low back that needs the support the most. It does a nice job of supporting the lordotic curve of the lumbar spine when sitting for long periods of time. The theory is, if you slouch or sit with bad posture, you lose the lordotic curve and your spine will eventually start to ache. This pillow can help reduce back pain associated with prolonged sitting, and it kinda forces you to sit more upright, i.e. prevents slouching. I use this in my cheap old car which has no built in lumbar support, and it does a wonderful job. Just a bit of warning to anyone thinking about buying it. It takes some getting used to. It forces you to sit differently than you might be accustomed to. And just like I tell my patients, you may not be able to tolerate sitting with a lumbar pillow like this all day. It can become fatiguing with prolonged sitting. You may need to remove it from your chair periodically and take a break from using it. I got the standard density and it feels like just the right amount of firmness and support. I do not think I would like the firm density, in terms of overall comfort.

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.

This standard density lumbar roll is exactly what I need for my office chair to prevent back pain. I got the firm density previously which was too firm and uncomfortable. I got other pillows elsewhere which weren't firm enough. This is the absolute perfect solution and is such a relief! I work for myself at the computer all day so this is a must have.

I have only had this cushion for one day, but the relief that it has given me for my sciatica is immediate and noticeable. I like the firmness and the size, I think that it was definitely worth the money for what it is and I was able to get it quickly when I really needed it which I appreciate. My only complaint is that I actually wish the strap was fully removable, because I find that it gets in the way sometimes, and if I could unclip it when I don't need it that would be great. Update: I actually took one more star off, because over time this pillow became more of a hassle than anything. At some point it stopped helping with my back pain and actually started to make it worse again. The strap is also virtually useless, I tried strapping it to my desk chair as suggested, and it was constantly shifting, and moving up and down, and the strap is too elastic and not nearly substantial enough to keep the pillow where you need it to be. I think you would have much better luck buying something with a more organic design that actually fits the shape of your back. It was not worth saving the money to buy this product.

This worked great after my lumbar fusion surgery. I used it to sit by the pool in a lounger. Very comfortable. It is soft & not firm. Just the right amount of cushion for my lower back.

Came quickly and works well!

It works well. Just wish it was a little longer.
