Product Reviews of Back Booster 1001 Inflatable Lumbar Support Cushion
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: DO NOT BUY - Very bad product, caused back pain
Summary: 1 Stars
UNRELIABLE QUALITY THOUGH GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE
I purchased this Back Booster (2 of them) somewhere else. One of them started leaking air in a week. The manufacturer sent me 2 not 1 as replacements so I thought it was a good business practice of theirs.
HIGH HOPES
I fly quite a bit for work and I've always carried with me an inflatable lumbar support (or two) and the lumber support(s) sometimes work and other times not as each plane model has different seats. This time (last week) when I flew, I brought the Back Booster with me and really had high hopes that it would work as it appeared to be ergonomic.
DOES NOT WORK ON THE PLANE
Well, I had to fly 2 segments at 3.5 hr each from coast to coast each way. I sat on the planes for 14 hours in a 3-day time frame. I'm petite and the Back Booster was not even wide enough for me. It's also either too hard or too soft and wobbly. I could not get comfortable whatsoever.
CAUSED MORE DAMAGE
On my return flight, my back started to hurt and I had to walk slowly from one plane to another. By the time I finally got to deplane at the destination, my back was in so much pain that I couldn't even straighten it as I walked. I had to bend my back forward walking very slowly...
I am still suffering a week after I flew and used the Back (pain) Booster!
RECOMMEND AGAINST IT
Do not waste your money and cause yourself harm.
Product Review: Deflated
Summary: 1 Stars
We bought 2 of these, but only used one in flight. The pillow deflated 3 or 4 times in the pressurized cabin and was of little use. We never used the second one. I am very disappointed.Product Review: Deflates overnight
Summary: 2 Stars
Does what it needs to do---but has a slow leak so must be reinflated every 24 hours. That's a disappointment.Product Review: Good Shape, Poor Quality
Summary: 1 Stars
As others have noted, this thing leaks a lot. Basically, it is single layer construction -- like the cheapo type of air mattresses for swimming pools. The outside has a kind of short velour-like texture, which is not bad. Despite the leaks, it works okay for sitting on the sofa. However, I originally purchased it for use during an air flight. I discovered that since the seats are so close now, when I used the cushion my face was too close to the seat back in front of me. I purchased this thing for a reduced price, so the low level use is okay. However, at $20 or so now, it is well overpriced for the quality. I will look for something else to support my back...
