Product Reviews of HoMedics Ortho Therapy Lumbar Cushion Support Pillow with Velour Cover
Product Review: A huge relief; great product
Summary: 5 Stars
Although I'm only 25, I've been suffering from back pain since I started my desk job 3 years ago. This little pillow has made such a huge difference. I wish I would have purchased it sooner. It's the first product of this type that I've tried, but it definitely works for me. I'm 5'7", 125 pounds and I sit in a big office chair (intended for someone much bigger than me) at a computer all day. When using the pillow, it pushes my lower back forward just enough to allow me to easily maintain good posture, thus reducing the stress on my upper back, shoulders, and neck. I can't believe that something so inexpensive could have such an extreme effect. I'm going to buy another to use in my home office as well as for long car trips.
As for negatives, the strap isn't big enough to fit around a large office chair and I don't think it would easily fit around most car seats, but it does fit around my small office chair. It isn't a problem to use the pillow without the strap though. I would imagine that this pillow might be a little small for some people, since I'm a thin woman and there is only about a inch of spare pillow on either side of my back.
Product Review: A keeper
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a keeper! It is so comfortable that I ordered a second one. I keep one on my chair at work and now have one on my chair at home. It offers just the right amount of support to the lower back.Product Review: Aparentemente funcional
Summary: 3 Stars
Recibí la almohada con la finalidad de utilizarla en mi carro, pero no es tan cómoda como pareciera. La he utilizado en los sillones y como almohada y me ha resultado cómoda, así que después de todo no fue un desperdicio de dinero del todo. En lo que respecta al uso en el carro no la recomiendo.Product Review: BEST OF BREED!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased three different lumbar support products listed on Amazon.com, but this is the only one I would even consider utlizing as the other two, while they may support the back satisfactorily, were most uncomfortable.
This one is soft and cushiony, yet gives just the right support that my back needs to spend hours daily posed in front of a computer screen while I study website design. It is even pleasant in appearance. I do not use a standardized office chair as my blind kitty cat likes to curl up beside me to assist me at my studies. I do not want her to be banished from this pleasure by acquiring a chair on which there is no room for her.
The velour pillow cover does get a bit soiled after a time, but it can be machine washed on gentle cycle and tumble dried on low heat. I have been using the support pillow for circa six months and I haven't yet found that necessary.
There is an elastic band several inches wide on the back of the support pillow to be placed around the back of a chair. So there is no chance of the pillow falling to the floor while the user is sitting down or rising from the chair. It may slip down a little if one has it positioned high, but it is easy to move it back up to where it is desired.
So I am very happy to have found this support pillow. It has solved my back discomfort problem and that is what I wanted.
Product Review: Back saver!
Summary: 5 Stars
Got this right before a 4,000 mile cross country road trip and I am very happy that I did. I always have low back pain when driving longer than an hour so this turned out to be one of the best part of the trip. Takes a little adjusting to get in the right spot so I don't use it in town but will keep it in the car for anything longer.
