SmartTravel Travel Products Inflatable Travel Lumbar Pillow for Airplane Seat – Adjustable Lower Back Support Cushion for Long Flights

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.

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.

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

I just got this a couple of days ago for some recent lower back pain and so far, I find it worth every penny! I’ve been experimenting with the right inflation level and it’s been great using it on the lowest part of my back. I love the high quality foam packed inside and haven’t used the strap yet. A big test will be when I go away; I’m flying out of town and will definitely be using it a lot. I find that it’s better for me than f I use it with a lower inflation level. It seems to be the right size and shape and inflation and deflation are very easy.

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
