McKenzie The Original McKenzie Round Roll, 12.5cm Diameter, Round Lumbar Pillow for Lower Back and Spinal Support at Work or Home, Cushion for Back Support, Correct Posture, and Proper Positioning

I've had rheumatoid arthritis for 30 years, and when my back recently added its voice to the chorus of pain, I was just about at the end of my tether. I tried rolled-up towels on the advice of my physio, and although that gave me some relief, I felt that this couldn't be the best solution, not least because the damty things kept unrolling every time I stood up, and squashed down really easily. So I looked around for a better solution, and after reading the many reviews for this product (Amazon, Trust Pilot and Reevoo) I decided to give it a try, although I was unsure as to which one to get. I ordered the Original McKenzie Lumbar Roll (4 inches). I was also slightly dubious about the strap length, but I needn't have been, as it comfortably goes round my riser/recliner. The roll itself is great; the comfort level is just right - not too soft, not too firm), and gives my back just the right amount of support. I can sit comfortably for the first time in a very long time, but I also need back support overnight, and while I looked at the night rolls, not only were they much more expensive, but the largest size was for a 40 inch waist, and I'm no svelte youngster. So I tried tying the roll around my waist (it certainly wouldn't have stretched around the bed) and I've had the most comfortable night's sleep back-wise in over a year. Now, to the bounce-back qualities: having used the roll for 24 hours straight, it seems not to have squished at all and resumed its original shape as soon as I got out of bed. However, just to be on the safe side, and for convenience, I'm going to order another one for overnight use. This small item has made a *huge* difference to my life already, and I can't recommend it highly enough, so if you're suffering with back pain, give it a try, it's a small price to pay for effective relief.

I'd been struggling to sleep and had neck pain all day. This roll has done wonders! It's so good I purchased one for my arthritic mother and mother in law who both use theirs every night.I choose to slide it inside my pillow, but there's also the option to have it loose under your neck while you sleep.The first couple of nights it felt a little strange but I gave me instant relief. I no longer have to roll out of bed, but can immediately sit up-right like 'normal'.I'm sure it won't be as miraculous for everyone but at a cost of about £15 I really think it's worth trying if you suffer from neck pain.I'm ordering another so I can air/wash the cover in between uses.

It’s great as it’s a light support without being cumbersome. The thicker lumbars I have tried often result with other compensation aches because they are too thick and firm creating an unnatural curve so this is the best option. Sadly the cushion is much thinner after a few months use having not held its shape but it’s still effective for most journey lengths in the car

It's a very thin roll, probably no more than 3-4cm and feels quite soft so it flattens down more than I had expected. So it won't suit everybody. It gives some support so is ok if the seat has already got a lumbar shape, or if you are small or have a very stiff back but if you have a flexible back or a larger lumbar curve you may want to buy a thicker roll.

This miscellaneous roll of black foam has made driving my car viable again! I foolishly purchased a car with bucket seats (as though I was 17 again) and they have little or no lumbar support, great for a silky smooth race track for a few laps, dreadful for pitted and scarred roads of the United Kingdom. I purchased this on a whim, I had a vague recollection that as a kid my mum always travelled with a ‘back roll’ so thought it must be worth a go. Well generally it is very good firm and supportive but also comfortable for longer distances. There’s not really anything to dislike, the only thing would be if they could Incorporate a sheath for the snap buckle as I’m a bit afraid that it might wear on my Alcantara (1st world problems). Anyway it’s worked well for me so far, I can’t quite tell if it’s started to lose a bit of its shape already in which case I’d drop it down a star but at present it doesn’t warrant that. All in all a great buy, and for the price you may as well give it a go.

This is a great product. Supports you just where you need it. I could have been doing with a slightly smaller diameter one though. Unfortunately mine was the smallest.It's still a great product at a nice price. You could do alot worse choosing a pain reliever.

Bought one years ago when I slipped a disc, and found this really useful. My recent purchase was for my mum who was racked with back pain and needed to be in good shape to care for my dad. This really helped her, eased the pain over time and thankfully the back problem went.

I can share my personal experience only, somebody might find it fabulous for his problems, we are all different. As for me, roll is absolutely too hard, uncomfortable, unusable. Tried alone, with various pillows, .... no way. Has nothing to do with "adapting". After max 10 mins in one shot had to remove, problems with my neck (protrusions, herniations, ...) worsened.as result in sole this time. Curvature of my cervical spine is normal otherwise, I'm 1.80 m, 73kg. Great idea but way to hard material at least for my cervical spine.

Ottimo nei casi di artrosi cervicale

The first 4-7 days were uncomfortable and thereafter I was accustom. Background: a very long trial and error, this cervical roll relieves my occasional headache and neck pain due to wide shoulders. Also this cervical roll consistency is harder than a self-made roll using hand-towels. In addition to doing my oropharyngeal exercises, this cervical pillow reduces my snoring and supports my head while sleeping on my back. This pillow maintains my proper nasal-only breathing in case my tongue muscles become very relaxed. After 6 weeks, the form and support is sustained.

Molto comodo da sistemare sulla sedia dell'ufficio dietro la seduta o su quello dell' auto, soprattutto se si soffre di lombare!

Auch bei weichen Sofas tut die Lendenrolle ihren Dienst

I have several Mckenzie products and have had good results with them. This model can be put on your bed under the mattress sheet and then it will not move around when you are sleeping. I have another version of this that wraps around your body, but that felt odd when I laid on my side. I bought these items while waiting to replace my mattress. I don't use them much now but they were very helpful.
