OPTP The Original McKenzie Slimline Lumbar Support – USA-Made Lower Back Support for Office Chair, Car Back Support, and Travel Lumbar Pillow. The Preferred Lumbar Cushion by Physical Therapists.

Great lumbar support and truly well made. I specially like the straps as I can keep it in place on my desk chair.

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! 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.

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.

Gives great support on long drives

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.

Good quality!

Dealing with painful back issues is likely different for each person. That being said, this cushion will probably not work well for all people. For my situation, this cushion works perfectly. It has just the right balance between firm and soft, or comfy. The front seats in my sports sedan are designed with side and hip support, for comfort and support during cornering. The tires are very low profile, exactly the wrong setup for someone with a back injury. I now drive with a memory foam cushion in the seat and now this one across my back. For now, I’m all set…sooooo grateful for this cushion.
