I bought one of these more than ten years ago and it has been wonderful. I'm a traveling consultant so I use it in office chairs and on airliners. It's easy to adjust the firmness to suit the particular chair, by blowing more air in or letting some out. It's easy to inflate, about ten seconds of blowing, and it doesn't resist like a balloon so you don't have to have super lungs. It deflates in a few seconds and rolls or folds up into a fairly tiny package--or just leave it flat--that's easy to stow in a briefcase or travel bag. The valve closes by simply twisting it and the seal is very good. Until recently it would hold its shape for two years if I was lucky enough to get a gig that lasted that long.

My biggest problem is that it's easy to forget, but I've always managed to get it back except for one time on an airplane. (I used to have two of them.) After at least ten years this one is finally wearing out. It fails gracefully, by simply leaking slowly so you can blow it up again and put a new one on your shopping list.

Be advised that not everyone finds the same shape comfortable. This pillow is not very tall and fits into a very narrow space on your back. There are others that are taller, if that's your particular need. This one is perfect for me and I'm buying a replacement.

I wish all products were manufactured to this quality standard, although unfortunately there's no way to know whether the new one will be as good as the one that finally wore out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful low back support!, June 13, 2009

I purchased the Mckenzie self inflating cushion a few months ago and love it! The easily adjustable firmness is great. I used it in my car and at home. Trouble was, I kept forgetting to bring it into the house from the car. I finally got tired of constantly returning to my vehicle to retrieve it, so I bought another one. One stays in the car, the other in my favorite chair at home. Great product that is well made and durable. Thanks! Michael K. New Jersey

This back support item is suitable, not great, but okay. I just happen to like mine a little larger.
