Nice and firm. Compact and not too large, but wide enough for a guy. Great for office chairs.

I had sustained a lower back injury about two years ago and since then I have had to roll up a towel at work or at home to give me the level of support I needed to sit at my desk and work. As a big and tall guy I can confidently say that the firm version of this item is PERFECT! I am able to hang it exactly where I need it on my chair so I am not messing with it when I get up and down and it provides firm enough pressure to give me the support I need to be pain-free while sitting. If extension helps you while you are sitting give this a shot!

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).

First rate lumbar support. This cushion is considerably firmer than most, which is the way I like it. The cover is well-tailored, and the elastic fabric for the strap is good quality too. A really nicely made product that will serve my back much better than the typical soft cushion that's sold by many others.

This is an extra firm pillow, which helps support my back, but also HURTS my back if I use it in the car/vehicle. I have found it more helpful at home or to take when I visit others home as a carry back support to put in the chair I sit in.

As someone battling spinal stenosis due to a herniated disc, finding the Original McKenzie Lumbar Roll has been a game-changer for me. The firm density provides exceptional support, aiding in the maintenance of good lumbar posture by restoring the natural curve of my spine.One of the standout features for me is its portability. This lumbar roll has become my trusty travel companion, and the best part is, it doesn't count towards your carry-on limit. Whether on a plane, in a car, or at a hotel, it ensures that I can maintain the support my spine desperately needs, even when on the go.What sets this lumbar roll apart is its versatility. Beyond just supporting my lower back, I've discovered its usefulness as a head pillow during long journeys. Additionally, when I'm side-sleeping, placing it at my side prevents my spine from sagging into the mattress, contributing to a more comfortable and supportive sleep experience.In summary, the Original McKenzie Lumbar Roll has proven to be an indispensable tool in my daily life. It's more than just a lumbar support – it's a versatile, travel-friendly solution that adapts to various situations. If you're dealing with spinal issues like mine, this lumbar roll is a must-have for both at home and on the go.
