OPTP The Original McKenzie Lumbar Roll – USA-Made Low Back Lumbar Support for Office Chair & Car Seat Back Support Cushion. The Preferred Lumbar Pillow by Physical Therapists - Firm Density

I got the firm support and it’s perfect! If you’re concerned about it being too firm (in my opinion) it is not too firm. It has just the right amount of squish to be comfy while still being very supportive. I’m 3 months postpartum and work at a desk all day. My PT recommended I roll up a towel for lumbar support to encourage good posture, but I was tired of it not staying put and frankly I wanted more support. I found this and it’s perfect! I just strapped it onto my desk chair and there’s an instant improvement in my posture and comfort! As a mom to a new baby, I’m constantly hunched over in everything I do. So I highly recommend this for good posture!

I have been buying/suggesting these for people in a desk job for years. The lumbar support improves your whole posture! It’s soft but fits well into the arch in your back and isn’t bulky once sitting on it. I have people try mine in the office and then they usually buy their own!

The lumber rolls are perfect for anyone with lower back pain. The firm ones are good, but if you’re new to the lumber roll, I would start with the standard.

The McKenzie works well. I attached to the back of a stressless chair that would otherwise be a problem for my back. I need to be in an upright position for my particular back issue (sciatica) and most chairs lean back. The item is well made and offers firm support and easily cleanable when needed. I will probably buy another one for passenger front seat in my car as those seats do not have same lumbar support as the drivers seat and on a trip when I am passenger I think I would benefit. The product is versatile as it's easily removed & you could also wear it and move from seat to seat as needed. This would also make a great gift for someone with back problems or someone who sits at a computer all day.

I bought the firm version and it is too firm. Actually hurts my back to use it. Should have purchased the softer version.

These are great - I recommend. This is the third one over the years that I have purchased.

First, to address the 3 main concerns I saw in the bad reviews before deciding to purchase: 1. Yes, it IS difficult to stuff the foam back into its cover after removing the plastic. That said, I also struggle to get the foam back in my dog's orthopedic bed after washing the cover. That's just how it is if you want foam that fills the cover. 2. The cover IS NOT a heavy high quality material. This probably isn't something you would want a thick cover for, though - it would diminish the benefits of the foam. Do you encase your memory foam mattress in heavy canvas? Probably not, because it wouldn't feel as nice or be as effective. However, the cover WILL likely tear with frequent removal/washing. 3. Foam breakdown. This I can't speak on because I haven't had it long enough. I will say that you shouldn't leave it in your car because heat breaks foam down pretty fast. It also breaks down with heavy daily use, which is one of the reasons running shoes don't last forever. Those are valid concerns, but I feel they would be the same for any roll made with this type of foam. Now for the PROS: 1. This is the first time I've been able to sit down, without lower back pain, in a while. This thing is perfect. If the cover rips, I will repair it. 2. See #1 above. I went back and forth trying to decide between standard and firm. Ultimately, I decided on firm because at 5'7 and 200lb I'm on the heavier side. I can see how some would find it too hard, but it's just right for me. I can use it in chairs, and even lay on it on the squishy couch (but I think it would be too hard to try that on a less forgiving surface).

It works.

This lumbar support is extremely good for your back. I have placed it in my chair and it does a great job of supporting my lower back .. it is firm as described and would recommend this to anyone who wants a firm lower back support .. since this is imported it is quite pricey but worth it ...

Propaganda enganosa! O produto nao e original e nao tem a densidade firme.

Unlike a so-called "memory foam" lumbar support cushion I bought here and promptly returned because the thing simply flattened and provided no support or posture correction, this McKenzie Lumbar Roll really does what it promises to do - for me, anyhow. After positioning it on the seatback as shown in the product video, it effectively corrected my seated posture by inducing me to sit upright with a slightly arched back, thereby providing almost instant relief to my lumbar and mid-back. After just a few days of use (as a school bus driver), my back pain is drastically reduced. And definitely comfortable to use. The thing is almost like a miracle massage cushion. I also really like its look and material quality. Really glad I got this model - the firm one - as I figure the regular one would collapse too much and provide inadequate support/correction.

Great lumbar roll. Best

Una gran ayuda para la espalda. Y muy buen precio, especialmente para México.
