The Original McKenzie Lumbar Roll – Firm Density Low Back Support

Great for correcting your posture Easy to take around

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).

Finally a cushion of substance. So many cushions are "memory foam" that just goes flat almost instantly they are useless. This is a solid core of firm foam. leaning my (5'10" 200lb) back into feel great. The one minor downside: The strap would be so much easier if it was hook and lock ('velcro') then a cinch tight or instead of one end being sewn into the cushion it should be hooks on both end to allow easy replacement.

My pt recommends this and it works well on our long hours on the road. It takes a little while to get used to but helps my sciatica too!

Works as advertised. I’d advise getting the firmer option. Firm is not all that firm; anything less would be mushy & offer inadequate support/resistance.

Well.. it's seems well made and good quality materials. I like the adjustable strap. I bought the original in firm. Even though I'm overweight (5'6" and 177 lbs for context) it's actually too firm for me to use in my car. So far on a desk chair, that has a mesh back, it's works better. I either wish I went with the smaller and standard stiffness.

Perfect for my back. Really helps my sciatic. I use it all day, every day!

OMG! I LOVE this thing! I have bought several high end chairs (the mid-end was best support and using that one now) and at least a hundred lumbar or back support items over the years. None worked well for me except one. And Ive tried every version. One I bought at a swap meet and wore out, I could never find again or anything like it. It was vertical and not horizontal like this one, and was great for office chairs at work but it wore out over some years and I couldn't fasten it anymore. Since then I have not been comfortable. I bought this one on a whim after I took a recent remote job with really long hours at my desk which had my back screaming all over again. I got the "firm" one and let me tell you, it is a game changer. Its exactly what I needed and fits my chair perfectly (rare). It doesn't budge and it gives me firm support and feels sooooooooooooooooo good!! I finally tossed my rolled-up towel that kept unraveling each time I stood up! I will definitely buy it again whenever I travel or go back in the office. Great investment! Back feels GREAT!

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 ...

Always shifting

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

A mí me a funcionado muy bien, tuve una cirugía de columna lumbar y está la uso en mi oficina y me proporciona la postura recomendada x el fisiterapeuta es de un material lavable y no más bien rígido no es blando

Great lumbar roll. Best
