Product Reviews of Back Booster 1001 Inflatable Lumbar Support Cushion
Product Review: Leaks - Don't waste your money
Summary: 1 Stars
This cushion lasted just long enough that I couldn't return it to Amazon. It developed a severe leak, and would not stay inflated for more than a few minutes. In looking at the reviews, other people experienced this same problem. Buyer beware. Don't waste your money on this product. It was a good cushion while it lasted, but one does expect something like this to last a bit longer than 40 days.
Update 02/2008: The manufacturer saw this review, and sent me two replacement Back Boosters at no cost to me. I must say that I am impressed with the company's extremely proactive willingness to make things right. I will test out the replacement, and post a further update.
03/28/2008: I would agree with the review from "Cat's Meow" posted in January, 2008. Three stars - it's an adequate product, but not too helpful for someone with severe chronic back pain.
Product Review: comfortable, unless you are fighting chronic or severe back pain ....
Summary: 3 Stars
If you don't have a real back problem, but want some lumbar support while sitting at a desk or computer this is comfortable. It works mostly with office/computer chairs, but the strap doesn't wrap around a lounger or recliner. Eventhough you can't strap it down, it does offer some support in a recliner. I had a temporary back problem and it didn't help. I gave it to a person with severe, chronic back pain, to try. Unfortunately, it was of little comfort. It deflates easy, too. I have to keep reinflating it. I rated it a 3-star (not less, not more) because it does have some benefits. Now that my back problem is gone, it does help at the computer. However, for real chronic problems I would try a different product.Product Review: Bad Product
Summary: 1 Stars
Pros:
Has soft fuzz-type exterior.
Cons:
Strap did not fit around car seat well. Will not fit any bucket type or indented seats. It would work on a flat backed chair, but otherwise the strap is superfluous and gets in the way.
The curvature is not adequate and being inflatable it does not hold its shape well. A firm type foam back support I had once that has a similar (but more pronounced) curvature and is much better.
After a day or so of using it in my car it went flat.
Product Review: ...started out fine but...
Summary: 2 Stars
...suddenly it deflates quickly.
while it worked it was excellent. I have to locate the leak.
Worked in the car (a few times) as well as home. I have had it for a month or so.
Product Review: excellent product

My husband loves the back booster. He takes it to his car and any air travel.
