 A huge relief; great product January 8, 2009
Melissa (North Carolina, USA)
Although I'm only 25, I've been suffering from back pain since I started my desk job 3 years ago. This little pillow has made such a huge difference. I wish I would have purchased it sooner. It's the first product of this type that I've tried, but it definitely works for me. I'm 5'7", 125 pounds and I sit in a big office chair (intended for someone much bigger than me) at a computer all day. When using the pillow, it pushes my lower back forward just enough to allow me to easily maintain good posture, thus reducing the stress on my upper back, shoulders, and neck. I can't believe that something so inexpensive could have such an extreme effect. I'm going to buy another to use in my home office as well as for long car trips.
As for negatives, the strap isn't big enough to fit around a large office chair and I don't think it would easily fit around most car seats, but it does fit around my small office chair. It isn't a problem to use the pillow without the strap though. I would imagine that this pillow might be a little small for some people, since I'm a thin woman and there is only about a inch of spare pillow on either side of my back.
The perfect complement to my couch December 9, 2008

I tend to spend most of my time watching TV, reading or working from home on the center of my couch, which happens to be a little too soft. After spending couple of hours everyday regularly for a few weeks, I started feeling some discomfort, and realized my back was sinking into the couch and wasn't getting enough support. Happened to see this in a store aisle and picked it on a whim. One of the best purchases ever.
I am going to buy one more for my work chair, and probably send some back to my folks.
What's great:
- Contoured memory foam provided just the right support
- The foam warms up using your own body heat and then keeps your back warm while you sit (especially great in cold weather). Perfect for soothing or relieving any pain.
- A strap if you want to strap it to a chair (haven't tried since I use this on my couch).
- Machine-washable cover (must for neat-freaks like me).
- Retained shape even after I bent it badly to fit it back into the cover after washing the cover (see below).
What could be better:
- The removable washable cover isn't the easiest to remove and re-fit. They should re-design the zipper to be along the sides rather than one straight horizontal zipper through the center of the back. The first time I put in the pillow back into the cover, I thought I damaged the pillow because of having to bend it so much. Luckily, though, it retained its original shape (I have done this twice).
- As some others mentioned, it could be a bit wider (or maybe sold in separate sizes) for bigger people.
Good for the price November 16, 2008

The memory foam back pillow is in good quality. A good deal for the price. The band used to attach the pillow to the chair is not very tight. Anyway, it is a good pillow.
 Not very effective. October 24, 2008

This back support didn't work for me or my mother in law, but it may work well for others. Not expensive a probably worth trying.
Better than I could have hoped for October 21, 2008

This pillow makes my back feel so lovingly supported! I had no idea how good it would feel to have lumbar support. I use it in my car, a Honda Civic 2-door. It does require me to push the seat back a bit further from the steering wheel, but it works. The elastic strap definitely doesn't fit over or around the car seat. But again, I don't mind.
