Therm-a-Rest Lumbar Travel Pillow

I used recently on flights internationally. It was conformed to my lower back, and comfortable. Had no back pain upon arrival. Sits well and deflates easily into a pouch in my purse. Recommend this product.

I have degenerative disk disease in my lower back, so any time I am sitting for a long period of time in a seat without lumbar support, I am in pain. Often times I will use a sweatshirt or coat for support. Now I don't have to! This solves the problem for me. I use it when I am in a car that is not my own, and I use it whenever I fly and have to sit in the airplane seats that seam to have a hole in the lower back (If you know what I mean, then you will love this!). It easily stores in my laptop bag so I can use it at long meetings with bad chairs. It works simply and easily, and you can adjust it without moving it simply by opening the nozzle briefly. It is light, small, and stores even smaller. We have Therm-a-Rest camping pads, and have always been super happy with them. After more than a decade of use, they are still holding up! This seems to be exactly the same material and design in a smaller package, so I expect the same. It does take a little practice to get used to adjusting the inflated size if you have never had a Therm-a-Rest product before, but once you get it down it is super simple! The one drawback I can see is that it becomes so integrated to the seat that you are sitting in that you can forget that it is there. If you do that in a rental car then you may never see it again. I'm ordering a replacement! :)

This thing is incredible. The stiffness is adjustable so you can adapt the pillow to whatever weird seating situation you happen to be in. Comfortable enough to use as a head pillow. Big enough to tuck between your knees. Small enough to fit in a fanny pack once it's completely (very completely) deflated. The auto inflate feature is so good, it inflates very fast and packs down pretty small. About the size of a monster can.

As a traveler with back arthritis (old fracture), I need lumbar support for long flights. Before I hauled around the same heavy memory foam pillow I use in my car. It took up a huge chunk of my carry-on! I checked amazon reviews and ordered this. Now that I have the Therma-Rest Lumbar Travel Pillow, I can actually bring a smaller carryon and have more space in it! It's very easy to inflate and deflate, which is great. It folds down quite small, like the space of 2-3 granola bars or a paperback book. It provides adequate support, which you can play around with by inflating more or less (for me full inflation is too much). The support doesn't, of course, mold to your own body and that's why it isn't perfect. But - it keeps me from having a lot of pain or discomfort; and I don't have to lug an awkward large pillow around. I recommend it!

Easy to use! It helps me protect my lower back on long trips!

I recently had back surgery and finding the goldilocks "just right" firmness for support has been a challenge, until this pillow. Where ever I'm sitting, whatever I need, it's customizable to my exact requirements. Sometimes it's fully inflated, but often I have it barely inflated, depending on the moment and chair. Portable to take in the car, restaurants, airplanes... I can adjust to my need and be much more comfortable where I am. This pillow makes my ability to GO places without as much pain the perfect companion for a full life. Highly recommend if you need a customizable pillow for varying situations.

It did a great job supporting my back. It originally did self inflate as advertised ...... BUT.... I am flight crew and use this daily. And I was pleased with the support. BUT .... It wasn't until I received the pillow that I saw the note saying it is best to store the pillow fully inflated with the valve open. It has to go into my flight kit rolled up and valve closed to fit. Other pillows I have used in the past had come with small bags to store in so I thought it probably wouldn't be a problem. I also know not to fully inflate for comfort and to allow for pressure changes in the various stages of flight so not to over inflate. I bought this May 2022. In October 2022 it no longer self inflates and loses air so that I have to keep manually blowing it up during the day.

I give this a five star rating because it works. I took it on a very long flight to Egypt and it was tremendous. Now I use it in my car. It is so simple to stick behind your back and it inflates itself. Too firm? Just turn the valve while it is behind your back and release the right amount to make your comfortable. I'm not sure why there are negative reviews on this. It is a great product. Some people will complain about anything. Tried and tested. Recommended.

Perfect to put in your wife's handbag for when you have an injured back and are going out to dinner, and you will need lumbar support to be able to sit through 3 courses.

Mi è stato consigliato da un amico osteopata, che lo usa quotidianamente. In ufficio aiuta molto se si sta tanto seduti, e, già dai primi utilizzo, ho notato che a fine giornata non avverto più la zona lombare irrigidita. Il fatto che sia regolabile facilmente permette di adattarlo a tutte le esigenze. Ottimo anche per lunghi viaggi in auto.

Prompt delivery. Great product, compact & simple to use. Fits the purpose well.

Excelente. Es un poco más grande de lo que imaginaba pero cumple su función a la perfección. Siempre intento tener un soporte en la espalda cuando estoy sentada por mucho tiempo para evitar el consecuente dolor lumbar. Necesitaba algo que cumpla esta función y que sea fácil de transportar para usarlo en viajes. Esta almohada es muy fácil de inflar y desinflar y brinda un gran soporte lumbar. Ya la usé en un primer trayecto y creo que será un elemento indispensable para todos los viajes que haga en el futuro. Estoy muy contenta y satisfecha con la compra.

I use it when catching a flight. I love that it's quick and easy to deflate it, and is compact. That way, it takes minimal space to store while traveling.
