Futon Mattresses Lumbar Support Pillow for Bed Relief Back Pain: Lower Back Pillow for Sleeping - Memory Foam Waist Pillow - Back Wedge Bolster Pillow for Side, Back&Stomach Sleepers - Bed Rest Pillow

I purchased this pillow after I started having some lower back pain recently and I am so glad I did. The support was perfect for my back and helped me sleep much better. It works perfectly when I sleep on my back and also can provide support if placed between legs when sleeping on my side. The shape is just right. It was just the right thickness and seems very durable...not to thick or thin. I like that the cover can be removed and washed. It is a perfect size to take with you if needed.

I am a side sleeper and sometime back sleeper so I tried putting a pillow between my legs when I was on my side. It did provide some relief and then it did not. While I love sleeping on my back, I absolutely cannot without causing pain. In fact, shifting side to side during the night wakes me up and I have to literally sit up carefully so as not to cause myself pain as I make the shift. So, when I came across this lumbar pillow I thought I had nothing to lose. It arrived two weeks ago and I slept with it last night for the first time. I placed it under my back so that I could be on my back or rotate onto my side. It was comfortable right away but the true test was how I fared throughout the night. I briefly awoke in the middle of the night and when I did, I realized I was on my back...and I was pain-free. I went back to sleep and awoke on my side, still pain-free. Shifting side to side during the night not wake me up at all. The pillow did feel a little firm when I unwrapped it but it turned out just right for support when on my back or on my side and I can shift painlessly throughout the night. Hopefully tonight will be as comfortable. The price was good and it is completely returnable so why not give it a try? You have nothing to lose except the pain!

I purchased this lumbar support pillow due to my chronic back pain, seeking relief while I sleep. Since using it, I have experienced improved support for my lower back, which has alleviated some discomfort during the night. However, I have noticed that the pillow, initially quite firm, has flattened somewhat over time. Additionally, it tends to be softer than I would prefer and lacks the length I need for optimal support. Overall, while it has its limitations, I would rate it a B for its effectiveness in providing lower spine support and its easy-to-clean material.

By far my favorite support pillow I’ve invested in. That’s a heck of a thing for me to say specifically because I have a bunch of different kinds of support bed pillows (I’m bedridden). I’ve got stuff from several sizes of wedge pillows to half circle bolsters, to the giant pregnancy full body U shaped pillows that can circle around you and basically turn into several different types of pillow for your needs, various types of surgical support pillows…even stuffed animals that can be used like support pillows but honestly shouldn’t be for long periods of time because it will make them look funny after a while…(sorry pickle squishmallow…) But this one simple looking lumbar pillow? You’d be surprised at how sturdy it is, how comfortable it is, the fact that I have used it every single day since I bought it and it is still the same shape, the size of it fits on my bed (and my side of the bed) perfectly. It conforms to my back in just the right way. It eased that area of my body that the other pillows i had just…weren’t doing. I would get “bed support pillow systems” that included some kind of “lumbar support” pillow but they never really worked out. They always became malformed and just didn’t stay together. If anything because of how physics work when I lay down, that pillow ends up becoming more of a “thoracic support” pillow. Which…defeats the purpose you know? But this pillow? It will stay where you need it to. The cover it comes with is so lovely. Now, this might be TMI for some folks but hear me out because a specific set of folks will want to know this information: I am a very VERY sensory avoidant autistic person. So I am very particular about fabrics and how they feel. And since I am bedridden, I tend to not really wear much clothing when I’m in bed so my bare skin of, say, my back, is going to be touching this pillow and the case on a regular basis. And here’s the thing: it is exactly what it says it is. It’s very cooling and it stays that way all through the night. It’s even better if you have some kind of small bedside fan going because if you move at all and the cover gets exposed, when you move back into the exposed part of the cover, it’s nice and chilled again. It feels AMAZING on my low back which is very frequently very much in tons of pain (having a chronic pain condition really sucks like that). This pillow by itself has significantly increased my quality of life. I wish I had bought it sooner. I had it on my wishlist for ages before I got it…after getting it, I am so wishing that I had just gotten it way back when I first saw it. My hope is that those who see this review will take my advice: if you’re on the fence about getting this pillow: you should just get it. Especially if it’s within your budget to get it. And even more so if you’re in a bunch of pain. This thing has helped me with my back pain, hip pain…it’s amazing. Even the weird overheating issue I would feel in my back from the pain because of the cover’s cooling factor. This is basically a weird magical perfect support pillow. I even told my spouse that if I ever have to go anywhere (like to a hospital stay or something) or if there’s an emergency and we can only grab one support pillow, this is the pillow we grab. No question about it. This is now the most important pillow I own. Seriously, to the folks who created and designed this masterpiece: thank you. To some folks this might just seem like a pillow. To someone like me? This is a life changing piece of medical equipment that I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to live without now (seriously: my pain levels before this pillow were absolutely unmanageable- post pillow, I’m at least able to get my pain under some form of control). Something like that…you almost can’t put a real price on it. Which leads me to the last thing: thank you also for keeping this thing at a reasonable price for someone like me. A lot of us are not able to afford the life saving devices that we need so when we are able to find things like this? It’s rare and so very treasured.

So first of all I have a short torso and big hips, and this is a little thick and high for my torso right now for lying on my side. It's easier on my back. That said, I was expecting that... this is the lowest height of all of the lumbar sleep supports I've found, and it also is likely to mush down after some break-in use like a lot of memory foam sleep support products can do so I'm not taking any stars off for that. I got this because I have started having really bad piriformis and hip pain on one side, partly because of how I lie and sit while working in bed or watching tv. I can feel the muscles tightening when I am trying to use them to support myself upright (I also have a hypermobility condition so I am always using muscles to stabilize myself upright, causing tension in weird areas). What I have found is the most amazing and unexpected use for this product is, is support for either my lower back while doing work or reading in bed (which I do a lot, as someone with a chronic illness), or under my knees or lower back while gaming or watching tv on the couch. It gives me a lot of core stability and support I never had before, and it is also handy to put upside down (or even right side up) in areas where my butt or legs are inconveniently located right between two sofa cushions (I have a cheapo sofa that tends to wedge my butt in the cushion gap uncomfortably). This provides a flat surface that is more comfortable and supportive. In short, you really can use this for a lot of things! I also have used it to stabilize my arm while sleeping, because if my wrist or shoulder stretch too much while at rest it can sublux things or irritate tendinitis and really hurt. It is just the right height to kind of rest my hand on when lying sidways so I am not stretching my shoulder joint excessively. I will say the best use so far for me has actually been stabilizing my lower back while reading and using my laptop in bed. It is such a relief to feel that support in my lumbar area so my pelvic muscles and joints, and my lower back can get a much needed break. But I am sure as I break this in more I will use it more for lying down too. The cover of this feels nice and is cooling and smooth, the memory foam is good quality. Great product.

The thickness doesn’t work for me, but it has a soft removal cover and seemed well made.

I finally had a good night of sleep thanks to this pillow! I’ve always been a stomach sleeper because sleeping on my side hurts and I don’t breathe well on my back. I have six bulging discs in my back, so sleeping on my stomach hurts sometimes, too. Now because I have this under my lower back, I can sleep comfortably on my side without my back or shoulders hurting. And no longer feel the need to roll over onto my stomach. I wake up without pain, I’m so happy.

This perfectly sized pillow has taken my back pain away. I used to wake up every morning with lower back pain because I have no cartilage on my L-4, L-5. I have tried other pillows but I believe they were too thick and when I gave this one a try, WOW! my pain went away. It took over a month to work and to really pin point what was really helping my back, but I now know this pillow is exactly the reason of my pain going away. I will say, my pain is triggered by a bad mattress not helping my back but I’ve tried three already and mattresses aren’t cheap for me to keep trying. I’m just glad this low cost pillow truly helped me! I take it with me wherever I go.
