Amazon.com Product Description

Ideal for car or air travel, the compact, adjustable Therm-a-Rest lumbar pillow gives extra support to your spine and back muscles, improving your posture and reducing pain. The pillow is filled with soft urethane foam that offers impressive self-inflating properties. As a result, you can easily adjust the pillow one-handed to customize your comfort. Plus, the pillow packs small to save space. The lumbar pillow--which is covered with a soft polyester fleece--measures 14 by 7 by 3 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 3.5 ounces.

About Therm-a-Rest
In 1971, Seattle aerospace giant Boeing announced the largest layoff in company history, resulting in 50,000 people losing their jobs. Among the jobless were Jim Lea and Neil Anderson, both engineers who were eager to get back to work. Turning to friend John Burroughs--an avid mountain climber--for ideas, Burroughs suggested a better sleeping mattress, specifically one that was lightweight, warm, and comfortable.

Taking their inspiration from gardening cushions that expelled air as the gardener shifted his or her weight, the duo took a piece of open-cell foam and sandwiched it between two pieces of airtight fabric. Using an old sandwich maker, they melted the fabric onto the foam, creating a bond that was perfectly airtight. After adding a valve, their prototype was ready to test. Within two years, Lea and Anderson had partnered with Burroughs to begin production of Therm-a-Rest pads, the world's first self-inflating mattress. Under the name Cascade Designs, the private, family-owned company has grown into one of the most respected outdoor manufacturers in the world. Still based in Seattle, Cascade Designs sticks to the same fundamental principles it was founded upon: providing relevant and innovative products, exceptional quality, and service that exceeds your expectations.

Customer Reviews

5 out of 5 stars Therm-a-Rest Lumbar Pillow Comfort
22 people found this review helpful.
This is a great travel item. The air is compressed out as you roll it up and the pillow becomes a very small size easy to put into a purse or even a pocket. When ready to use, just unscrew the air cap and it quietly self-inflates. Put the pillow behind your back, loosen the cap as you lean back and you can compress the pillow to just the right shape and size for your comfort. When you tighten the cap, the pillow will hold that shape. We now own two, because once you realize how comfortable the pillow makes your back feel on a long trip, there is no giving it up for sharing. Very portable and comfortable.

5 out of 5 stars Adjustable Lumbar Comfort
14 people found this review helpful.
Recently purchased the Therm-a-rest Lumbar Pillow for an anticipated LONG flight and drive for vacation. It works WELL and was a life saver. The Therm-a-Rest thickness and/or softness can be infinitely adjusted with a simple air valve. It also deflates easily and rolls up to the size of a large hot dog. I just kept it in my jacket pocket when not in use. It's WORTH the money.

5 out of 5 stars Great lumbar support
9 people found this review helpful.
The Therm-a-Rest lumbar pillow is the best lumbar support device that I've come across. I've tried other inflatable supports, a buckwheat hull pillow, and standard throw pillows, and this has them beat. The shape is just right, and the self-inflating valve works great. I can adjust the inflation very easily for whatever purpose is needed (driving, airline flights, sitting at home). Plus, it's very small and easy to carry around. I ended up buying two - one to keep in my car and the other for general use.

5 out of 5 stars I LOVE it!
4 people found this review helpful.
As others have mentioned, it inflates and deflates very easily and is small enough to fit into a carry-on or coat pocket. Although it is a bit more expensive than other pillows of this type, it is well worth the price. It is extremely well-made and unlike many other inflatables that fall apart after a few uses, it is not made of vinyl. The outside seams are heat welded together and the fabric is either nylon or polyester with a slick surface that feels good against the skin in warm or cold weather. The size is perfect for either men or women. I give this pillow 5 stars.

5 out of 5 stars Great for pregnancy!
4 people found this review helpful.
If you are pregnant and/or suffer lower back pain, this pillow is the BEST!!! I'm 7 months pregnant and I take it with me EVERYWHERE! I use it in the car, on my chair at work, in restaurants, at the movie theater, at home... If I let the air out of it, it's small enough to roll up and fit inside my purse. I start with it fully inflated when I use it and then let out air a little bit until it's perfect for wherever I'm sitting. After using this product I don't think I would be satisfied with lumbar support that's not adjustable. Plus, being made by Therm-a-Rest, this product is top quality. It is very durable. If you've never used a Therm-a-Rest product, know that it's virtually impossible for the air to leak.

2 out of 5 stars good but not good enough
2 people found this review helpful.
This self inflating part of this pillow is a very useful feature. It would be completely useless without that feature in my opinion. I bought it to use it in the car which has no lumbar support. However, how comfortable you feel from this pillow is directly related to your body size and weight. For me his pillow is too small to be supportive to use in the car. Also, it has not strap so it does not stay in place when you get in and out of the car. I finally gave it up in a week trial.

5 out of 5 stars Your back will thank you!
2 people found this review helpful.
This is an amazing, well-designed, totally helpful pillow. I have a long commute on the train and a lot of lower back pain, and this pillow (in combination with Earth Shoes, which I HIGHLY recommend for back alignment), does the job!
Since the pillow self-inflates and rolls up easily, it is so easy to use all the time and stick in my purse without trouble-- perfect for going to the movies or on long flights. In the two months I've owned it I've recommended it to 3 people, all of whom thanked me for saving THEIR backs! I want to start getting a commission from Thermarest!
I even sent one to my grandmother.

In short: of all the pillows out there (and I've got a lot)-- GET THIS ONE. You'll be glad you did.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome for traveling
1 person found this review helpful.
This lumbar pillow is AWESOME for travel! It rolls flat and takes very little space in your carry on. It inflates in seconds and you can regulate the desired firmness. It helps my and my husband back so much on long flights! Be careful not to leave it on the plane, though! I unfortunately have. It's blue and since most airplane seats are blue too, it's easy to leave it behind. Had to immediately get a new one as I won't travel without it anymore!

Very comfortable because it can be inflated to my comfort level. Got it for travel but have not had a chance to use it on a plane yet - should be wonderful! Very nice in my chair at home and in the car.
