i have been using the McKenzie Night Roll for 10 years to relieve my lower back pain and it really works! I have collapsed or bulging discs in L1 - L5. I can not sleep comfortably through the night without it. With it, I wake in the morning with considerably less lower back pain. Without it, I am struggling to move about.

I strongly recommend this item to anyone who has the problems I have with lower back pain.

Rec'd this yesterday, used it last night. It stayed in place while I slept. The back support kept me comfortable. This morning, I got out of bed for the first time in years without struggling or pain.

Like many other back-pain sufferers, I've dropped a lot of coin on all sorts of medicines, gadgets, etc. and I decided to take a chance on this due to the back pain I get each morning upon awakening. The product itself is ok and does what it says, but just know that this is one of those things that will take some getting used to. Sleeping with something wrapped around your waist all night is not easy to stick with, but I can say that I notice some relief when I first lay down because it keeps my back from sagging down into the mattress. Like a lot of other things - it is hit or miss. I will keep it, but I'm not sure I'll always use it.

I think this item does what intended to a degree; however, it does seem to flatten out more in the back than I would like.

I hate to give a negative review, but this product just didnt work for me. I am unable to sleep flat in a bed and had high hopes for this, because of another McKenzie product that i love. I gave it several nights to get used to it, and it did give some relief, but i still woke early with back pain. I sleep mainly on my sides. There is no problem with the seller or the quality of the product and it may work for some, but it did not work for my lumbar arthritis.

The device does as advertised, providing support to the lower back when sleeping. It is hard to get used to when you first begin using it, but it does work. My only reservation is that it tends to slip around when it is being worn. I don't know how this problem could be corrected, and it is minor when compared to the benefits.

I purchased three McKenzie rolls and this one, the one for the bed, was probably overkill. I used it once and felt it was really uncomfortable. The darn thing is so large, it's too much trouble to send back.

I have depended on this for 10 years. I had back surgery and I used it post surgery. I credit this with a large contribution to my recovery. I know everyone is different, but now, this product is the only thing that enables me to travel and sleep in many different types of beds. I carry it with me everywhere I go for overnights. I have discovered that, for me, a firm bed is suicide. It is best for me if my hips and shoulders can sink into a softer bed, but that might cause my waist to sink also and create a lot of back pain. As long as the soft bed is supportive, I do not need the back roll, but I couldn't make it 10 minutes on a firm bed without it. I take no chances traveling and simply take it along. (unsolicited recommendation for select comfort....LOVE this bed for my bad back. 35.)

This device didn't work for me. My problem is when I sleep flat on my back I wake up with lower back pain. I was attempting to support by back with the night roll. That is doesn't work for me doesn't mean it won't work for your problem.

Don't bother! I had such high hopes for this product. I sleep with rolled towels on the bed in the small of my waist and was really looking forward to trying the Night Roll. It did not work well for me. It was very thick (too large in diameter) and was very uncomfortable. Good concept, but didn't hit the mark or work for me.
