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.

this item is perfect ! i recently had back surgery in feb '08 and needed lower lumbar support...its so portable. perfect for the movies, meetings, planes, the car which is where i leave mine. i may order another one.

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.

This product is part of my regular travel package and is as important as my passport. I rarely travel without mine. I have used these for years and typically end up giving them away to my friends and customers who travel frequently and end up in great pain from their trips. I now by five at a time and give them away in addition to always having one for myself.
In actual use it rolls up flat, and I can adjust it for the different type of airplane seats and comfort level needed. Only downside is that after a year of constant use the seams will often fail and start leaking. Then it is time to get a new one. As mentioned above, I carry spares.

This is a good product but only lasts a couple of months. Rather quickly it starts to lose air fast until it becomes useless.

The Airback TM Inflatable Roll is a very practical solution to relieve lower back pain while traveling or riding in your car. It is just the right size, inflates and deflates easily and it very portable. Plus it works very well to relieve lower back strain. I highly recommend it!

Pillow arrived with a large leak in the seam. Needless to say, I am not impressed with the quality.

I need something for my back when traveling on plane, bus or train. This is just the ticket! It packs up in my carry-on pocket, easy to get at, take out and just quickly blow it up for great back comfort. I purchased a couple of the supports so I have one I keep in the car for long trips.

I loved it from the beginning. Perfect size, no weight, inflatable which makes it flexible for your needs. I started using it in my car as a vertical (as opposed to the recommended horizontal) support and it made driving much more fun. It can become uncomfortable after some time, that's when i just take it away or deflate it a bit. I lost the first one I bought when I got out of the car and immediately missed it. I went online to buy 2 more. I will take them on my trips, they will be great on flights, too.

This product has worked very well for me since I'm quite small in size. I can inflate it to the exact need for my back, adjusting it for whatever seat I'm in. I carry it around the house with me and to the car whenever I'm ready to be sitting for awhile.
