Review: Great support for those with Degenerative Disc Disease - *I don't understand why this lumbar support pillow is categorized as a toy but let's continue on nonetheless* I purchased this lumbar support pillow about 3 weeks ago. I work in education and sit in very hard (student) chairs from 7:30am to 3:45pm. Needless to say that by the end of the day, my back is completely out of commission. To make matters worse, I was recently diagnosed by my Orthopedic with Degenerative Disc Disease or simply Black Disc Disease which means in the shortest amount of words as possible....MY BACK HUUURTS...always...all day, every day. I had to do or find something that would give my back some sort of relief while sitting in these horrid chairs all day long. This pillow fit the bill perfectly. It is FIRM density(as it says in the title of the product)...which for me is exactly what I needed and wanted, nice and firm so that it wouldn't fold over or flatten out whenever I used it to support my lower back. I bring it with me every day, class to class. It has a strap that hugs the back rest to keep it in place which is something I find very useful. It has definitely improved my back pain. I've noticed that when I sit for 1 or 2 hours in the same chair helping students, when I get up I'm not limping around for a few minutes trying to acclimate myself to the standing position. Instead, I get up and go. That alone tells me that it is working and I'm grateful to have it. I definitely recommend.
Review: GAME CHANGER! - 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!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this FIRM???**
A: I got the standard one. It is not firm enough. Squashes nearly flat when I use it. A rolled up towel works better.

**Q: How firm is the firm? I like a really firm support and usually everything is too soft...**
A: This is my experience using the McKenzie Lumbar Roll on my office chair (backrest having some built-in lumbar curve) and leaning back with 170 lbs. body weight: Standard Density model compresses from 4.75" diameter down to 2.5" to 3". Firm Density model compresses from 4.75" diameter down to 3.5" to 4". The Standard Density is much softer and works well with a chair backrest that already has some lumbar curve. The Firm Density pushed too much from the backrest against my spine.

**Q: Has anyone ever used this roll in the lower back to sleep on?**
A: The roll would be too dense to sleep on. If you need some low back support to sleep, you can try what my physical therapist taught me: Take a bath towel, lie it flat, and then place an ordinary belt lengthwise on the long edge of the towel. Roll the belt up inside the towel. You can then belt the towel around your waist, and you will have support whether you lie on your back or your sides. Sounds crazy but it works!

**Q: Where do you position it?**
A: My orthopedist instructed me to place the roll at the waistline, not lower, where it would push the waist vertebrae into the wrong position. The back is supposed to have a slight concave curve at the waistline. Wearing the roll lower creates more of a straight spine from top to bottom. Not good.  BTW, I have used the McKenzie roll since 1976. For someone with a bad back it makes long car/plane/bus rides totally doable. There is no roll out there that could perform better, I'm sure!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a firm cushion
*by J***R on July 25, 2026*

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.
