Check your chair before buying..

Overall a great product and easy to take with you to the car.. to the office.. to home.. etc. One thing you should be careful about is whether your seat can be adjusted on your chair. The backrest will slip down in between the back and the seat of your chair. You can either put something in behind the back rest so it is futher away from that gap between the seat and the back or if your chair seat is adjustable horizontally, simply slide the seat back a little more.

Excellent product. Gives just the support I need for my lower back. Bought one for work and one for home and am happy that I did. Highly recommended.
Very good item

Reviewer: A. Smollin,
I am very happy with this item. It works well and as promised. It is pretty portable and I havent had issue with lumbar piece falling off. Regarding noise, it really is minimal. Wouldnt know why it would bother anyone. I wish it was a bit wider, but I am a bigger than normal guy. (6'3, 235). They do make an extra wide version which I would recommend for anyone bigger than me. Very good product though.
Poor Fit

I am a larger male who bought this product to help with support for back pain. The sides are contoured and were too narrow to fit my body comfortably. Did not use as a result.
The vendor was prompt in delivery and billing.
The best thing ever!

I herniated a disc in my lower back a few months ago and driving was no fun (nor was anything) until I got this seat pad. It made all the difference in the world for me. It is both comfortable and provides great support. One of the best products I ever purchased. The only bad thing is that it is made in China.
