Customer Review: really does the trick
Summary: 4 Stars
I had lumbar disc surgery years ago, and am always trying to support my lower back to prevent further issues with my L4-L5. This thing inflates very easily, some by itself, the rest (as desired), by a couple gentle puffs. It stays in place (although a rougher surface would help more), folds up very small for taking on trips, etc. My desk sitting, recliner sitting, car driving, and plane travel have all been much better with this pad. The air valve is well designed and easy to use. This is very important.
My only gripe is that this "technology" seems expensive, for some reason. I have had Therm-a-Rest sleeping pads for camping, for years, which have really held up, but they were very expensive. If this thing holds air for the next 5 years, then the price won't be significant.
I really don't understand the other criticisms, especially with regard to inflating & size. A couple key points to this kind of support are: (1) INFLATION-- you must inflate the "proper amount" for your application. I usually over-inflate, then gently turn the valve to slowly release air down to the comfortable level, after the cushion is in place. If you feel that this doesn't not inflate enough, then I suspect you're trying to use this for something for which it was not intended. (2)POSITION-- As those who have dealt with lower back support issues know, the position of a support pillow is very important. Play with this. For the very typical lower lumbar use, people often put the support too low right at the small of the back. Slide it up a bit to fill that gap or curve well above the tail bone. It makes a huge difference.
Good luck... this cushion is really worth a try.
