Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
Over the years, The Original McKenzie Lumbar Rolls have literally helped hundreds of thousands achieve freedom from common low back pain. An adjustable elastic strap lets users secure the roll to standard chair backs and auto seats. Proven quality! An independent laboratory compared the high quality McKenzie Lumbar Rolls, by OPTP, with competitive products and found "...the OPTP Lumbar Roll is more supportive, will not lose its supportive qualities as quickly, and will offer more consistent support longer than the other rolls sampled." An independent laboratory confirmed the superiority of The Original McKenzie Lumbar Roll in a blind random analysis with test rolls from our largest competitors. While the foam used in a competitor's lumbar roll suffered immediate and continued structural breakdown, OPTP's roll suffered no structural breakdown and remained consistent through the test period. The lab's conclusion: "...the OPTP lumbar roll is more supportive, will not lose its supportive qualities as quickly, and will offer more consistent support longer than the other rolls sampled..."

Good for the car August 2, 2010

Ordered this for the car as well as the "D" roll for my office. "D" roll works better in office chair as this one is just a bit too plump for fitting my back there, but this one is perfect for my (older) car seats. Allows me to drive with much less pain (have blown discs), and to ride as a passenger for a much longer time than I normally would be able to do. Would recommend having one of these in the car as an emergency supply for anyone who has back problems that need increased lordosis of the spine.

good lumbar pillow June 5, 2010

I have lower back pain and have just used regular pillows folded in half - this is much better than that! It feels good to feel the pressure on my lower back and I like the 'firm'. It is a bit too big to use in my car, but great for the couch or bed.

Product works as stated June 2, 2010

This product didn't fix all of my back problems, but along with chiro visits, stretching, and an inversion table, it's contributed to my therapy regime.

This roundness of this product has held up well for the several weeks that I've been using it. The firmness is also good for me, not too firm.

Excellent Product April 17, 2010

At my doctor's suggestion, I purchased the McKenzie book and the McKenzie Lumbar Roll - Firm Density. I used a rolled up towel until the McKenzie Roll arrived. I tried my one hour commute to work with and without the McKenzie Roll. Conclusion: The McKenzie Roll is dramatically effective for me; I would even say amazing. A rolled up towel of the same size is too firm, particularly in my vehicle seat. After experimenting, I now do not strap the roll to the seatback; it is easier to just position the roll after sitting in the seat as instructed. It is important to "roll" the roll into the correct spot on your back; too high or too low greatly reduces the effectiveness. It does take some getting used to, but it is well worth the effort. I now find I forget it is there after ten minutes or so. I started to cut off the strap, but then I found it is handy for attaching the roll to the outside of my computer bag to take on the airplane. I also tried the D-shaped roll, but I like the round one better; it is easier to roll into just the right position. I think the McKenzie exercises are also important. They are easy and don't take much time; however, I think they must be performed exactly as instructed in the book to be effective.

I left my lumbar roll pillow on the airplane and was so upset! I use it ALL the time.
My husband had gotten it for me several years ago and I take it with me everywhere.
I looked it up on Amazon and found it cheaper than on the McKenzie website.
