One verified Amazon customer writes, "I'm a therapist and have tried several lumbar supports over the last few years. This one exceeds on multiple levels. First, the memory foam is high quality. It's soft and nicely conforms to the natural curves in one's spine. It comfortably supports the back without being too thick. The double straps help hold it securely in place. And I love the fact that the cover can be removed and easily cleaned. I'm currently using it in my car as I often make long commutes, and this has made all the difference from feeling achy after a drive to feeling good! If you're looking for reasonably priced, effective and comfortable lumbar support, this is it."
