Great support, not so great strap Jan 24, 2007
By derekscorp
"derekscorp"
I experience pain and discomfort from Sciatica, and there was a point when it made driving almost unbearable. After doing proper stretches and changing how I bend and such, combined with the Mckenzie roll & tush cush, I feel much better. I noticed an immediate difference in how I felt while sitting the car while using this product. I recommend it to anyone with lower back pain. The only problem I have with the roll is the strap that comes with it. It doesn't do a very good job of keeping it in place on my seat, to the point where I just took it off the strap completely and just place it myself every time I get in my car. It is a minor inconvenience I suppose, but still worth noting.

after back surgery Nov 06, 2006
By R. Parker
I did not realize this existed or how helpful it would be until it was suggested while undergoing PT. I had tried other seat type cusions, etc. for driving and prolonged sitting and got no appreciable relief, the Lumbar Roll made an immediate impact providing comfort and promotong better posture.

 Waste of money..... Feb 01, 2010
By JD
The concept of a lumbar roll is very useful, and this product fulfills that need, albeit with 2 major obstacles.
A, after a few weeks, this becomes as flat as a pancake and is useless....and B, you can create as good, or better support with an old towel, or generic foam piece or any number of improvised materials. These people pray on one's desperation to feel better, instead of giving you simple directions as to use common household items they lead you to believe this will be that much more effective...well, it isn't so don't waste your money. Lumbar support it very useful, but you absolutely do not need this product to obtain it.

Very "squishy" and quick to lose firmness Jun 11, 2009
By Tracey
I've had this about two weeks and am disappointed in it. The strap doesn't fasten well around a standard office chair and easily loosens. The roll says it's a "standard firmness." That's a meaningless description and makes it hard to make a sensible purchase. I'd say that this roll is not even as firm as what you would have by rolling up a normal terrycloth towel into a roll form. Worse, after only a few days, the roll became deformed just by virtue of having used it. I'm going to now spend the $ for the "firmer" roll but am not terribly optimistic given the quality of this product.

 Good for the back Jan 25, 2007
By Faithful Reader, USA
I have this McKenzie Lumbar Roll strapped to one of my desk chairs and I am trying it out there. I did try their suggestion of wearing it attached around the waist and then having access to lumbar support wherever I sat. I find it bulky and the elastic is too loose for this idea to work for me.
The roll is stiff and unforgiving. But if I am sitting in one position at my desk for a long period, then I appreciate the lower back support it provides. Probably could save money by getting a small, firm pillow for the same job.
I greatly prefer the McKenzie Super Lumbar Roll.
