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..."

Lumbar Roll

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.

glad I bought

Well worth it; bought the firm & standard for my wife who has more back problems than me. Worked for both of us. Good supplier, a little slow at Christmas but they let me know. All you could expect from the product & the supplier & of course Amazon.

McKenzie Lumbar Roll - Firm Density

I like the style of the lumbar roll and find that it's incredibly easy to use on most chair types. I actually think that the density is more firm than I'd like, but I also don't use it every day all day so I haven't noticed a change in its firmness so far.

Not that impressed

The lumbar roll doesn't form to my back like I had hoped for and it is very uncomfortable. I purchased on the great reviews it got but have been disappointed using it in the chair or car.

Lower Back Problem while driving

A previous review stated that this back rest is to hard (note: I did purchase the Firm Density one). For most people I will have to agree, but I love the Firmness of it. I am a man, 6 foot 4 inches tall, so I am a big guy. for the average size person or a woman (not to stereotype) the regular would be fine. I am very happy with it as it seems to correct my back problem when I take long trips.
