 Okay for some seats, but not allMay 20, 2009
By tig23
I bought the Duro-Med Relax-a-Bac for my husband to use in his pickup truck. He travels on business and drives hundreds of miles each week which causes lower back strain. We found this product works well if used with a office chair or computer chair, but is too bulky and cumbersome when used in the pickup. Here's the problem. The Duro-Med is designed with small "wings" on the sides. The seats in the pickup truck also have this design, so that when you put the two together it makes the cushion stick out in an uncomfortable way. Also because the truck seats stick out on the sides, the cushion doesn't mold well into the back of the seat. So he uses the cushion at his computer desk, but not in the car where he really needs it.
Before buying this product, you should think about the design of the seat where you'll use it. If the seat is molded with side wings, then I would find a cushion that is flat on the sides. If the seat has a flat back and sides, then this cushion would probably work pretty well. I gave it three stars, because there is nothing wrong with the product, but it's only suited to certain seat backs.

 Low cost, high quality productJan 16, 2007
By Chris Smo

I recently purchased this lumbar support cushion as a gift for my father this past Christmas. I am a physical therapist, and have over 5 years of experience dealing primarily with the mechanics and mechanisms of low back pain and disc dysfunction. I have tried out many cushions over the years, and from my experience, this product is as good as any higher-priced product of the same intent. The composite board insert allows for a consistent shape to be maintained, so the cushion does not yield as easily to body weight over years of consistent use, and the burgundy cover is removable and washable. It is also an excellent size for the average-sized person (my dad is approximately 5'9", ~170 lbs.). It provides good side-bolster support as well for an added feeling of comfort around the outiside of the lower back. I highly recommend this cushion when placed in comparison of other similar products. Most of the other products out there that are in contention with this one are composed of unnecessary additives, like a massager, ribbing on the contours of the cushion, etc. I've found that simply maintaining good posture (not only in sitting, but all activity) allows for so much more freedom from pain and simple ease back into daily life. Again, I highly recommend this product to anyone out there searching for an answer to help alleviate low back pain; however, I must caution that commercial products are NOT a cure-all to one's problems. It's always possible to alleviate the pain and symptoms, but other steps are necessary in terms of FIXING the problem. I highly recommend seeking out professional care from a physical therapist, as it is more than likely necessary that one would need (at least) proper education and intevention to help one to get better.

Commuting is MUCH more comfortable!Apr 24, 2009
By ErinLynn

I drive over 180 miles a day! After about 2 weeks of this my back was killing me! I'm 33 and I felt like I had the back of an 80 year old. I decided I needed some kind of back support for my SUV. I read reviews and checked out all the types of support pillows for what I needed. I choose this one for the good price and good reviews. This has been my lifesaver!! All the driving I do, I think without this back support, I'd be in a dr's office once a week! I LOVE IT! I highly reccommend it for any car, it fits perfect even in my Explorer. I could tell the difference after just one commuting day! My best Amazon buy ever!

Soft but firmApr 26, 2006
By Jonathan Ellis
I've tried several lumbar cushions from Amazon and this one is the most comfortable, despite being so inexpensive.
I only wish it didn't have the "wings" on the side.

Makes growing old a little less painful.Aug 08, 2005
By alrightguy
Like many people beyond the age of 50, I frequently experience some degree of lower back pain. I purchased this cushion for my chair in my office. The benefit is twofold: my back feels much better throughout the workday and I feel the amount of discomfort I experience away from work is decreased.
