The perfect complement to my couch
I tend to spend most of my time watching TV, reading or working from home on the center of my couch, which happens to be a little too soft. After spending couple of hours everyday regularly for a few weeks, I started feeling some discomfort, and realized my back was sinking into the couch and wasn't getting enough support. Happened to see this in a store aisle and picked it on a whim. One of the best purchases ever.

I am going to buy one more for my work chair, and probably send some back to my folks.

What's great:
- Contoured memory foam provided just the right support
- The foam warms up using your own body heat and then keeps your back warm while you sit (especially great in cold weather). Perfect for soothing or relieving any pain.
- A strap if you want to strap it to a chair (haven't tried since I use this on my couch).
- Machine-washable cover (must for neat-freaks like me).
- Retained shape even after I bent it badly to fit it back into the cover after washing the cover (see below).

What could be better:
- The removable washable cover isn't the easiest to remove and re-fit. They should re-design the zipper to be along the sides rather than one straight horizontal zipper through the center of the back. The first time I put in the pillow back into the cover, I thought I damaged the pillow because of having to bend it so much. Luckily, though, it retained its original shape (I have done this twice).
- As some others mentioned, it could be a bit wider (or maybe sold in separate sizes) for bigger people.

Good for the price
The memory foam back pillow is in good quality. A good deal for the price. The band used to attach the pillow to the chair is not very tight. Anyway, it is a good pillow.

Not very effective.
This back support didn't work for me or my mother in law, but it may work well for others. Not expensive a probably worth trying.
