Customer Reviews of HoMedics Ortho Therapy Lumbar Cushion Support Pillow with Velour Cover
Customer Review: Keeps lower back stable while supportive
Summary: 4 Stars
I read that there were issues regarding the sides of this lumbar pillow... but I like how they stabilize my lower back and keep it from moving side to side. I have had several back surgeries, the most recent one a few months ago... so I needed a pillow that could give me more support while sitting up...as well as stabilize my back from moving independently from my hips. This pillow allows me to sit on the couch without pain... sit at the computer chair... etc. I have a smaller lumbar pillow already for driving.
My only complaint that it is covered with a nice soft WHITE fabric. The white will be sure and get dirty easily...but is removable and machine washable/tumble dry.
I am six feet tall and around 175lbs. It fits me fine. I really like the adjustable elastic band on the back to keep in place on your chair.
Customer Review: Study Comfortably
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great little pillow that I purchased to use while sitting in classes for two hours at a time. The chairs in the classroom were causing intense back pain after just an hour, and something needed to be done! When I use this lumbar pillow, I now leave class with no pain and sometimes even leave feeling better than when I came in.
There are some good points in the other reviews -- the strap on the back is very small and so almost useless for big chairs. It seems to stay in place just from the pressure of my back, but I'm using it on textured chairs. Also, the cover slips. But it's easy to readjust.
Overall, I find the pain reduction (and the low cost) more than worth the minor disadvantages of the pillow.
Customer Review: IT HELPS MY POSTURE AND BACKACHE! Two Thumbs Up!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a petite person and finding this lumbar support cushion really helps my posture whenever I sit in front of the computer. I tried using this cushion with other chairs in the house, it doesn't perform as well as my office chair. I used to get backache when I sit too long in front of my computer(yes, we all need to get up and move around every 1/2 an hour or so), now that I find myself free of these aches and discomforts, thanks to this great lumbar support cushion. It hugs my lower back and keep it in place so I don't do any funny position unintentionally. And I love the idea of removable cover! Wish they offer different color options though.Customer Review: Great pillow and great price
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this pillow because I needed to drive across the country and it worked really well. I drove for more than 12 hours a day without any lower back pain. The only thing I did notice was some minor pain in my upper back from sitting up so straight. I don't think that was specific to this pillow, though. It's probably something that happens with many lower back support pillows because your upper back can't really rest against the seat. Or maybe, my back was tired because I'm usually sitting with bad posture and this is the first time I sat how I am suppose to for long periods of time. Either way, I would still recommend this pillow.Customer Review: Okay, Not Great -- Softens Too Much w/Body Heat
Summary: 3 Stars
Part of the design of good support is to help with good spinal alignment. The problem with this pillow is that, while upon initial use each is supportive because it starts out firm, as you use it, the heat from your body softens it up substantially. Instead of gently forcing your back into a proper alignment, it allows your poor posture to dictate the shape of the pillow. I have been looking for a pillow for my car. The weight and heat of my body flattens it out, so it now longer maintains the curved shape as you see in the photo. It does provide some sacral support, but it doesn't support posture as well as a pillow should.
