I love this pillow whenever I am in a car or sitting on a sofa that has no lumbar support. I also use it at church. Works great!

This is a firm large roll, so firm and large that it hurt my back.There is no way to decrease the roll size so I gave it my husband. It suits him perfectly and he likes the support and firmness, i wish you had a smaller one that i could use,

I read in a book about how to protect my injured shoulder using this lumbar roll. I am using it while driving and working on the computer, and it really helps keep my back and shoulders properly aligned. It's a perfect size for my petite frame. Only wish I discovered this long ago!

I have been using this product for about ten years, I think. I had a minor car accident and my physical therapist recommended it to me. I love this! I got a new one for my friend who is suffering from back pain. This is a must item for me whenever I drive!

Needed a back support for the backseat of my husbands motorcycle. It could not stick out too far and this is exactly what was needed. Support is great and the strap fits nicely over the back seat of the motorcycle.

Overall, I like it. Only negative is the product is a little thick against my back but still bearable. I would recommend.

It was good condition as I expected. This item is the replacement of the one I had borrowed from my friend and exactly same as it.

When you have back problems, you are constantly on the lookout for things that make you feel even just a bit better. When I saw the OPTP Original McKenzie SlimLine Lumbar Roll - #705, I thought it might help while driving.It wasn't difficult to attach to the driver's seat in my car, but I have to say that it really didn't make much of a difference for me. It wasn't terrible, but wasn't great either.Perhaps it might help someone else, but as for me, it made no difference to my sciatica and disc problems.

Just the right amount of curve for my lumbar. Straps secure cushion or folds out of the way nicely. I have one for each of my two cars and one for my dad in his car.....he loves it too.

The McKenzie Slim Line Lumbar Roll is the perfect size to give lumbar support. Others seem to be too much or too little. This one is just right. And I like the ability to remove the cover for washing. I've used it in the car and at home where I sit on the sofa. In the future I plan to take it on a plane - those seats are too uncomfortable. The cushion does not go flat in use. The only thing lacking is some velcro to 'stick' to fabric seats/chairs. The strap helps in some instances, but not all.

I bought both the round and the "D" support and found them either way too large or a tad too large.. Use if you want a deep curve in the spine.

I am a more petite woman and love the size of this lumbar support. I can't imagine using anything bigger - I don't think there's any way I could sit back comfortably. My only complaint is that it doesn't stay in place on my leather office chair, but it's not a big deal to slide it into place whenever I sit down. Worth the money.

I wanted something small and low profile to use in my office chair. Something that wouldn't push me too far forward in my chair or take up too much space. I thought this would be perfect, but it turned out to be problematic because it doesn't move. I bought the original Mackenzie roll (the round one) and that works much better. I can place it exactly where I need it more easily and it's more comfortable. Don't mess with perfection!

I have a problem with my neck muscles after being at work in front of a computer all day. This is the perfect size and shape to but right behind my neck - above my shoulders but slightly below my head and against the upper end of the driver's seat-right where the head-rest meets the top of the seat. Put the flat side against the seat and the rounded side to your neck - tighten the staps as needed around the back of the car head rest as needed. Relaxes my neck and head muscles and probably would also be somewhat more protection in case of being bumped - to lessen whip lash. Can't hurt and might just help others as it has helped me to relax those muscles while I drive.
