Wonder-Roll Self Inflating Lumbar Roll Pillow for Lower Back Support | Perfect for Office, Car or Plane

This was the best purchase I've made in a long time. I used it on a really long airplane ride (12 hours between 2 flights) and it changed the comfort of my seat. It was easily adjusted to the amount of air I needed in the pillow so after a 9 hour ride, my back wasn't screaming. It rolls up pretty small too so it was easy to clip onto my purse strap to get thru boarding. This was well worth it!!!

I had a long flight and a bus tour coming up and bought this for the trip. It ended up being great! It inflates itself and you can allow it to inflate to as big or little you want it. I am a petite woman and only inflated it a little. It was wonderful and saved my back. The strap is supposed to go around the back of your chair. I haven’t used it like that. I strapped it around my waist and it was perfect, but I’m smaller than most people and the strap would most likely be too short for a lot of folks. I’m very glad I bought it.

This is a great product. I have two bulging discs in my lumbar spine and need lumbar support whenever I am sitting for moderate to long periods of time. The thing that I really love about this particular lumbar roll is how adjustable it is. For instance, when I mention that I need lumbar support when sitting, that covers a wide variety of situations. I'm sitting when I drive, when I'm at the computer, when I'm traveling on an airplane, and when I'm on the couch watching tv. But there are big differences between my car seat, my computer chair, my couch, and an airplane seat. The Wonder Roll allows me to add or subtract air with a simple twist of the self-filling valve in order to "dial-in" the perfect support for whatever sitting situation I am in. I highly recommend this roll for anyone who needs regular lumbar support and who find themselves in a variety of sitting situations where being able to adjust the level of lumbar support to "fit" the seat is important. As a bonus, you can deflate the support and roll it up to approximately the size of a soda can so it can easily fit in your carry-on luggage, backpack, or briefcase.

I used this on a trip to Europe over the holidays this year, and while I cannot rave over them as some type of extraordinary breakthrough, they did indeed help me with my lower back (lumbar) pain on the flight both ways. One of the things that differentiates this product is that it is inflatable, which may not mean anything to you at first, but it affords two functions: first, you can (within limits) customize the diameter of it to fit your need (sort of like the adjustable lumbar support in the front seats of some cars), and secondly, you can roll it up tight with all the air out to store it in a very tiny bag when not in use. That means it's not taking up all this space in your luggage, hotel room, etc. The design is nice, too, in that, when you unscrew the cap, it automatically inflates. (This also means you have to work at it to DE-inflate it.) It has a nice clip strap so you can anchor it around your body. One of the things I do NOT like is that messing with the valve can be tricky: when you get to a desired fill size, and then try to close the valve, air will easily escape, and you have to work on a technique to get it right. But other than that, this is a nice solution to the "back problem" found in almost all airline seats (have you ever wondered why airline seats have no lumbar support, when it would be so easy to implement?), and does so in a tiny package and very low weight. I take off the one star only because of the struggle with getting the valve closed without losing air.

Functioned well until it failed around 2 months after purchase. Gently used for a couple of business trips. But recently noticed the roll would not hold air and discovered seam split.

Exactly what I needed and can take it in the car or wherever

Nice how portable it is while offering good support while inflated. It served me well working from coworking spaces for about 2.5 years.Then the valve failed - I can see a little bit of a herniated rubber gasket through one of the air holes but can't get in there to fix it without probably breaking the valve completely.To another review's complaint about the design not leaving enough material on the side of the slots that the elastic band goes through, this is easily worked around by flipping the product over so that the elastic band goes all the way around the center part of the cushion, basically hugging the whole thing against the back of a chair.

This is my favorite item to bring when I travel. It's so easy to blow up and it collapses making it great to pack. Doesn't take up a ton of room. I accidently left my last one on a plane and the first thing I did was buy another one.

I bought this after researching the many different self inflating cushions because it seemed to have the most positive reviews. Only a few people reported issues and sadly I have to add to that list! It arrived already inflated and I tried it at home on the sofa that evening. Happy with it and as I was driving I took it ready inflated to the cinema the next day. Normally I use public transport and wanted this because it could be deflated for easy transportation. It worked brilliantly on the cinema seat - I have chronic lower back issues and often find watching a long movie quite torturous. However when I used it again at home that evening it began to deflate and I had to keep opening the valve to reinflate every 10 minutes. Not acceptable so I decided to return it. I opened the valve, manually deflated the cushion and firmly closed the valve for the return, but when I came to package it up it had completely reinflated itself! I tested this several times with the same result. Clearly a fault. However, I liked it so much when it did work I am considering ordering again to see if I was just unlucky. Another reviewer commented that theirs failed after two years. That length of time would be acceptable to me for an item of this price, but not 24 hours!As a add on to this review, one month later I am still waiting for my refund. Meanwhile I have ordered and promptly received a product from a different supplier which arrived promptly and works perfectly. I am disappointed at the lack of customer service re this product. On reading more of the older reviews it seems the valve failure is a more common issue than I thought. I would no longer recommend.
