Smushion Pillow, Lumbar, Ottoman Plus Lap Desk

Although I like this cushion it seems to lose its shape over time. I use it daily for lumbar support and when new it's perfect for me but after a few months it's just not as supportive. That being said I'm still satisfied overall and even purchased a second one.

I needed it for lumbar support but I'd have to be a foot taller for it to work. I'm sure it works as an ottoman, for knee support and to put your feet on, but not for lumbar support. Well made. Nice cover. Just not made for short person when it comes to lumbar support.

This pillow is just wonderful and I am very happy with this purchase. I have been using it now for several weeks, and it has helped with my lower back pain by providing the lumbar support I need in a seated position. Since purchasing this pillow I am able to sit for longer periods because, of the comfort it has provided me. The pillow is firm enough to provide the support for my lower back but, not hard as a rock. It is also soft enough where it is very comfortable to use but not too soft where I would just sink into it.I have been using this pillow in my car, desk, and couch. Also, I have used it to support my legs in bed when laying down. It really has helped provide comfort while lying in bed reading a book, or watching TV. I love this pillow and how versatile it is!What I like most about this pillow is the support it has provided for my lower back. I can now sit for longer periods of time, without needing to get up, or constantly change positions because my back is hurting. My lower back is fused so getting comfortable seems to be a big problem for me. After trying many pillows, this is the one that has finally helped. The fabric is nice and soft and made of good quality. I like that the pillow has a zipper to remove the pillow case. I have washed the pillow case and it has held up well, both in the washing machine, and dryer.I would recommend this pillow to anyone who suffers from lower back pain and needs support while in a seated position.

Too narrow.

A little research indicated I might benefit from a lumbar support. So I began researching on Amazon and found this one. I get my positioning on the bed, then sit up enough to push the lumbar support--rounded side up--as far as I can get it under my hips. Then I lay down. I breathe much better with this, because it aligns my asthmatic airway more clearly. It also wonderfully supports my back.The lumbar area is near your waistline in back, where the back dips in. After age 50 or so, it can use some support. Sleeping with this support cushion at night could help through the day ahead, too.I have rheumatoid arthritis and sleep on a memory foam mattress that keeps me without pain sleeping on my back all night. Add this lumbar support, and oh my!

Every day I have to fix the pathetic case because it bunches up which therefore effects the shape of the pillow and it also sheds like crazy so don't plan on wearing any black ever

It is much better than trying to make some other cushion or pillow into the right shape. I use it almost every day.

I was really hoping this had some heavy duty memory foam and not some of that wimpy stuff you find in pillows and whatnot. This is barely big enough to get my feet above the level of my heart, when laying down. It also doesn't allow my feet to really sink down on the memory foam due to a thick core. I don't really need the hole on either side and wish it just would've been a more solid piece of foam, but what are you gonna do, right?Recommended? Sure
