“I bought this, because I was having tons and tons of back pain / sciatica, for months, even though I had just bought a new mattress. My new mattress was very supportive (medium firm), but it was a little bit too hard, I guess. I was spending a ton of money on the chiropractor and on massage therapy, with no discernible improvement, because even though I'd feel better after the treatment, every night I would go back to sleep on the same mattress, and it would mess up my back again, by morning. It was costing me a bundle.I bought this pillow, because I was getting desperate, and didn't want to have to toss my expensive mattress, yet again! So, I thought I'd give this a try. I live in Canada, and this is one of the only lumbar sleep pillows that would ship up there, directly. So, I paid a lot in direct shipping costs, but in the end, it was 100% worth it.At first, it was really stiff, and, for the first month, or so, it was actually bothering my back - the pointy part in the centre was just irritating things even more, and I was feeling really dismayed. In retrospect, I now know that this was because it hadn't been broken in yet. You have to be patient with this product, and give it some time.Rather than return it, and waste my money, I decided to use it under my knees for a few weeks, and, over time, I noticed that it gradually softened up. So, at that point I tried it on my back again, and lo and behold, it was like a different pillow! Ever since then, it's been working extremely well for me and I absolutely love it! I now have excellent lumbar support, it doesn't hurt me anymore, and my back/sciatica pain has gone away.I find that I do have to adjust it, quite a bit, to get it in the right spot, and it tends to slide around sometimes, while I am sleeping, because I roll around a lot. So, every night I just put it back to where I want it, before I go to sleep.I would say that you have to give it about a month, or two, of putting weight on it (as I said, I would recommend using it under your knees at first), so that the pointy domed part softens up, and, then, at that point, it's really great. I would buy this again without any hesitation, and I fully recommend it. For me, it's been a lifesaver! I would like it even better if it was a little bit longer, so that is a suggestion I would make the manufacturer – just to maybe lengthen it by about 6 to 10 more inches (length only - the width is fine), but that's a very minor point.”
“I like the fact of how comfortable it is underneath my back and legs. It supports my lower back, and legs and knees. I also notice less pain both my lower back and legs.I recommend it to those are suffering with pain.”
“I have lower back pain due to injure sustained a long time ago and have struggled finding a comfortable mattress for myself and that my wife can also be happy with. I switched mattresses 3 times and this last time I decided to try this product which has been a phenomenal gift to myself. I have sleep soooo deeply and feel like I'm going to be able to rest from now on which has not been the case for a long time. Only those who are going thru the same I have been, understand how much it affects your life. You will be glad to get this product.”
“I have been suffering from severe lower back pain for months. I thought it was my very old mattress and mattress topper so I bought a new mattress. My pain continued. 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 yesterday and I slept with it last night for the first time. (Though I hesitate to write a review after only one night, I am feeling optimistic!) I placed it under my back so that I could be on my back or rotate onto my side (as pictured in the product description). 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!”
