SmartTravel Inflatable Lumbar Support Travel Pillow for Airplane Seat | Adjustable firm back support cushion for long flights, office & car; eases lower back discomfort; self-inflates, packs small

I bought this for an international flight, and it saved my back! I appreciate that it provides varying levels of firmness and can be adjusted to what I need. I used it both for my lower back and as a pillow, and it worked wonderfully for both. I may use this even on short flights going forward. I would very much recommend!

I have had (intermittent) back problems resulting in severe nerve discomfort for over 3 decades. I have used both types of 'classic" back support -- simple inflatable (easiest for travel) and solid foam half cylinders and full cylinders (work best in cars). This product is a truly UNIQUE combination -- it is filled with small fragments of foam that absorbs air and it can be further inflated and sealed if needed. After it is fully broken in as detailed by the manufacturer, I found that just opening the valve and letting the foam pull in all the air that it wanted gave the best result. It has a belt that helps hold it in position while sitting and allows you to get up and walk around with it -- eliminating the risk of walking off without it. To transport the support you just take it off, lay it on a firm surface, squeeze out the air while rolling it up and then close the valve. It is then is a cylinder 11" length, 4" max diameter, tapered at both ends, and fits easily in a backpack, suitcase, or large coat pocket. Yes -- it is a little more expensive. And worth absolutely every penny. P.S. I have NO connection with the manufacturer.

I really like this travel pillow and use it for back support. Inflation is very easy, just open the value and massage it a little bit and it inflates. Putting it back down is also very quick, just putting pressure and it deflates without much effort. The only downside is that it's just not tall enough for me. It's wide, which is great but it would be better for me if it were a little larger/taller. I will keep using it along with my Tempur-Pedic travel pillow - why not?! If I had to leave one of them home it would be this one. Overall it's fine, just not perfect. But if you want something smaller (especially to carry it around) this would do the trick.

I bought this for a long flight to Europe and it worked out perfectly for my back and neck providing just the right amount of support I wanted for each area. First follow the directions on inflation. I did this two days before my scheduled trip. It takes firm pressure to get the air out so it fits back into the mesh case but the elastic band provided to keep it rolled up helps to keep the deflated pillow in shape to fit into the mesh bag. Be sure to close the valave which is so easy you might think it will not work but it absolutely does. When it’s time to use it just unroll open the valave and I blow in just a little air . Close the Val e and see how it feels on the intended area. If it feels too firm or full just untwist the valve and squeeze out a little air. Keep repeating until you get the desired fullness. If you change area from back to neck just use the same process to fill or let out air . I loved that I could get exactly the right amount of fullness that I wanted so I could move the pillow from one location to another. It was so easy to use. Definitely worth the price for the flexibility you get along with ease of transporting in a carry on tote. I also plan to use this on car trips or for sunbathing if I need a little pillow. Cudos on technology that works !

Recommend. works perfect, easy to inflate, adjust and deflate, compact size for travel. Have two!

Nice and company shape that inflated to a nice air pillow for lumbar support. It makes sitting for long flights, drives and sitting at a work chair much more bearable. Easy inflation and deflation with the twist valve. Carrying mesh bag makes transport easy. Easily fits into your carry on bag.

While I love the overall thoughtful design of this lumbar pillow it is just not comfortable for me. It's really nice to have the waist strap and carry bag. The lumbar pillow I finally chose to go with does not have either of those and I wish it did. When I received this it was very compressed. The instructions indicate to open the air valve and let it restore for 5 - 6 hours. However, that was not enough time. I let it sit for 24 hours before it seemed un-compressed. I like the ability to change the air setting with the valve. But I find the other filling to be poorly designed - it seems to be various size pieces of foam, the foam is very uneven and it causes a very lumpy structure inside with no way to adjust that. Also the foam creates a fairly large dense pillow and even if I leave the air valve open the foam portion of the pillow usually feels like too much lumbar "support" for my small boned body depending on the chair I'm using - pretty much the only time it felt like a good amount was when I tried using it sitting on a bench with a straight hard wall behind it. I chose to return this one.

After experiencing an eight hour airport layover, this pillow had good support on my lower back and you can control how much air goes into this back support with a twist control valve. There are many lumbar supports out there but what makes this product unique is that it can be decompressed and rolled into a smaller size for easy carrying onto airplane flights. I recommend this product but I wish that the casing to storage bag was more durable and compact and that the twist valve was made of a durable plastic for longevity.

I absolutely love this product! I was still recovering from severe back spasm and sciatica and was very nervous about flying. I used this product on the flight and found the support it gave me very comfortable and reassuring. Really easy to inflate and deflate and even during the flight I was easily able to use the valve to release pressure for greater comfort. I actually inflated it leaving my car to enter the airport and just walked around the airport wearing it as the belt makes that super comfortable. It was in place then for any sitting prior to flight also which was extremely helpful. Easily removed and replaced as needed with belt clip. Delivered within 2 days of ordering also which was a bonus. Would highly recommend this product.

Ideal for travelling on aircraft and tour-bus. Also useful in hotel or at home to support lumbar region. Turn knob to self-expand then tighten knob (so support stays firm when under pressure). Reverse process to compress again for storage. I was recently diagnosed with a Right Lumbar 3/4 protrusion that impinged my right sciatic nerve-root. This is an extremely painful and debilitating condition. The lumbar support is helping my recovery, aided by prescribed exercise programs, plus anti-inflammatory and analgesic medication.

Le coussin est facile à utiliser et ne prend pas beaucoup de place pour le ranger. La ceinture fournit avec permet de bien l’ajuster pour ne pas qu’il se déplace.

Product is very good for back support in travel but becomes defective after 2 flights , now air always leaks out

Justo lo que necesitaba para mo viaje ya que hay días que pasaba mucho tiempo sentada por los traslados y esta almohada me encanto además de ser practica y no ocupar tanto espacio
