 Lumbar Cushions March 23, 2007
37 out of 38 found this review helpful
I brought two Ortho Therapy Lumbar cushions for my car. My Father is 84 years old and I drive him and my mother around a lot and we sometimes take long trips. My father has a bad back and usually after just a hour or so in my car his back is really soar. I brought the cushions which both my parents use on our trips even the ones just to the store. My father can now ride in the car with ease. He told me there is a real difference and he really liked the cushion that it did help a lot. He use to be so sore that when he got out of the car he had a hard time standing, now he seem to get out with ease. We have found the cushions to work very well. We like that the cover can come off to be washed when needed. We will be using them for a long time. I think they are better then the smaller roll lumbar cushions, they support your whole lower back and are very comfy. I would recommend them for anyone who has lower back discomfort.

The lumbar support cushion has made a big difference in the way I feel. I am amazed that I no longer feel daily back pain. Thank you.

Thought at this price I would give it a shot, and it is actually making a big difference. I have it on my chair at work and I lucked out - it fits perfectly. It's just the right firmness, and it hits my back at just the right spot. Occasionally I have to reposition it - but I'd rather fiddle with a cushion for 10 seconds than deal with back pain all day long! It has completely eliminated my lower back pain.
The cushion lets you sink in slightly, but gives excellent support, like a good pillowtop mattress. And unlike a lot of other memory foam products it doesn't get crushed quickly. I've used mine 5 days a week for 7 months now and the foam is just like it was brand new. The only thing that shows any wear is the strap, from being stretched for so long, and it looks like that will last at least a year before giving in.
If your chair is more than 17" wide, the strap won't fit, and if you're over 200 lbs, it won't be wide enough for your back. But if you're lucky enough to be average sized and have an average task chair, it's worth every penny!

I bought two of the memory foam pillows and have been sleeping good ever since. No tossing and turning, to grinding of my neck as I turn. So when I wanted to add a little extra support to my writing set up, I saw this and really wanted to try it. I have used back supports before. I end up giving them to the cat to sit on. They are too hard. Yes, they support, but they end up hurting as much as they help. This one with the memory foam supports, but with that gentle cloud like softness that cushions my spine. So far I haven't come across a HoMedic memory foam product I just haven't loved.
The perfect complement to my couch December 9, 2008

I tend to spend most of my time watching TV, reading or working from home on the center of my couch, which happens to be a little too soft. After spending couple of hours everyday regularly for a few weeks, I started feeling some discomfort, and realized my back was sinking into the couch and wasn't getting enough support. Happened to see this in a store aisle and picked it on a whim. One of the best purchases ever.
I am going to buy one more for my work chair, and probably send some back to my folks.
What's great:
- Contoured memory foam provided just the right support
- The foam warms up using your own body heat and then keeps your back warm while you sit (especially great in cold weather). Perfect for soothing or relieving any pain.
- A strap if you want to strap it to a chair (haven't tried since I use this on my couch).
- Machine-washable cover (must for neat-freaks like me).
- Retained shape even after I bent it badly to fit it back into the cover after washing the cover (see below).
What could be better:
- The removable washable cover isn't the easiest to remove and re-fit. They should re-design the zipper to be along the sides rather than one straight horizontal zipper through the center of the back. The first time I put in the pillow back into the cover, I thought I damaged the pillow because of having to bend it so much. Luckily, though, it retained its original shape (I have done this twice).
- As some others mentioned, it could be a bit wider (or maybe sold in separate sizes) for bigger people.
