Great product
The Original McKenzie Lumbar Roll by OPTP is a game-changer when it comes to providing much-needed support and comfort for your low back while sitting in office chairs or car seats.One of the standout features of this lumbar roll is its ergonomic design. The contoured shape is specifically engineered to fit the natural curve of your lower back, providing optimal support and promoting healthy posture. Whether you’re sitting for extended periods at your desk or on a long road trip, this lumbar roll helps maintain proper alignment and reduces strain on your back.The quality of the materials used in this lumbar roll is exceptional. The foam filling is firm enough to provide substantial support, yet it still remains comfortable for extended use. The cover is made from durable and breathable fabric, ensuring that it withstands daily use and allows for good airflow to prevent sweating or discomfort.Another great advantage is the versatility of the Original McKenzie Lumbar Roll. It comes with an adjustable strap that allows you to secure it to any chair or car seat, ensuring it stays in place throughout the day. The compact size makes it easy to bring along wherever you go, whether it’s to the office, during travel, or even to use on your favorite armchair at home.Using the lumbar roll is effortless. Simply place it in the curve of your lower back, adjust the strap, and you’ll immediately feel the support it provides. The firmness of the roll gently encourages proper posture, which can help alleviate and prevent back pain caused by poor sitting habits.One potential downside is that the lumbar roll may take some time to get used to, especially if you’re not accustomed to sitting with proper lumbar support. However, with consistent use, you’ll find that it greatly improves your sitting experience and helps alleviate any existing back discomfort.Overall, The Original McKenzie Lumbar Roll by OPTP is a highly effective and durable product that offers exceptional low back support. It promotes proper posture, reduces strain on the spine, and provides ample comfort for extended periods of sitting. Whether you’re dealing with chronic back pain or simply want to improve your sitting habits, this lumbar roll is a fantastic investment for anyone in need of reliable and portable low back support.

Great for postpartum lumbar support!
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!

Firm Comfortable Support
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.

Lumber Roll
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.

Won’t attached to my office chair
Good product if you can get it to stay put on your chair. I have a standard office chair and the outside frame of the upright portion of the chair is made of plastic. This device can’t be effectively tightened around the chair back because the plastic is too slippery. So the description of using it for an office chair doesn’t apply for me. So the fit sucks on most office chairs: most of them are made of plastic. We have leather seats in the car so it slips there too. The only place we can use it is on the couch when reading and I am not moving much. Otherwise it is a pain to adjust because it fall every time you move in your office chair.

Aaah! Relief!
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).

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 …
