This is a great travel back support since one can blow it up and then let out the air and roll up. I also like that I can blow it up more or less depending on the seat I am sitting in. I also use it at my computer chair at home. I think the dimensions need to be stated. I thought it was going to be half the size than it is. So I will state the dimensions....15-1/4" in length at center and 6-1/4" in width at center.

I used this with my office chair for 3-4 days, then it sprung an irreparable leak. Once you see the product yourself, you will understand why leaks are bound to happen under any normal use: it's two flat sheets of some vinyl or vinyl-like material joined by a narrow 2mm heat-bonded seam. The seam is (unsurprisingly) too weak to withstand the force of being pulled apart when the inflated roll is put under pressure.

I bought this because it was inexpensive and some reviewers left positive reviews, which in retrospect is baffling because it doesn't seem possible that this thing could last for very long for anyone. I gambled that the other negative reviews (which mentioned the leaking) were simply the result of people getting random bad copies. Well, seeing the construction myself, I concur with the other negative reviews.
