Therm-a-Rest Lumbar Pillow

This lumbar pillow is exactly what the doctor recommended for my back injury. The self-inflating design is excellent. The valve allows me to customize the amount of lumbar support that I require.

I bought this pillow for air travel. I was using one of those wire/mesh lumbar back supports for when I fly because the seats on planes are so uncomfortable when you have to sit for 4+ hours. The last time I used mine it didn't seem to help much the mesh/wire were giving too much. So I was looking around online for a relpacement and came across this pillow, found a REI near me that had it in stock and bought it.I was a tad nervous that this pillow wouldn't do the trick because it's so narrow I still brought my wire/mesh support along just to be safe. I used it on my outgoing flight and it worked great. Halfway threw I decided to switch back to the wire/mesh support to compare the two I quickly swtiched back to this pillow asap! I like being able to adjust the air pressure, however I could see it being a bit tricky to do on a plane as the seats are so cl

I use this pillow on international flights and it saved me from the back pain that is almost guaranteed for someone tall like me on a 12 hour flight. I've purchased these as gifts for family and co-workers, and it's a big hit. This is a must have for long flights/car rides, and it's compact.

I DON'T KNOW HOW THERMAREST DOES IT BUT THIS PRODUCT IN INCREDIBLE. IT IS COMPACT, INFLATES EASILY AND IS ADJUSTABLE. IT WORKS GREAT IN YOUR CAR OR ON A PLANE. DEFINITELY WORTH THE PRICE.
