This is how lumbar pillows should be designed

I just got this and only rode it for about 45 minutes (after riding it for about 4-5 hours before "installing" it today, for the record ). But I'm completely sold. The air bladder doesn't seem like much when you take it out of the box, but the brace is excellent to use as your back is squeezing the entire bladder, pushing air to where you need it most. And the thin profile means your fit doesn't change as much as other lumbar solutions, which is perfect since my seat is already pushed back as far as it can go. horizontally around the seat. Most car seats have noticeable support so when you're not in the seat the cushion looks silly as it's floating in front of the seat back and often twists and moves so much that you have to readjust it every time. you get in the car They just look cheap. The vertical mounting solution means the pads don't prevent the lumbar cushion from staying flush with the seatback when you're not in the car. Also, the bottom end can be tucked behind a pillow fold, and the top mount uses a headrest to keep it in place. The result is a sleek, eye-catching look (if you choose a colour/design that contrasts with your seat) that doesn't need constant adjustment. It looks almost decorative. This is the absolute winner in my book. I only bought one at first because I wasn't sure I would like it, but I will definitely be buying a few more. I want one for the passenger seat, mainly for aesthetic reasons (I drive alone 80% of the time and so far no one has complained about the comfort of the seat). I use mine in a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. The factory cloth seats on mine have no lumbar adjustment, and for someone who likes noticeable lumbar support, it's completely absent. I can tolerate 2-3 hours at a time, but after that my back starts to bother me. I haven't had this pillow in a while but I find it has pretty much resolved my comfort concerns. I'm very glad I found this because now I don't have to worry about taking it with me on vacation or long trips. To be honest, I never intended to use this car for commuting (30 miles one way) but it makes me want to because I otherwise enjoy driving it. If you are looking for an elegant lower back solution, you must try this. Cheap, elegant, effective. I'll do my best to remember to update this if I run into any durability issues. My first impressions make me feel confident, whatever the cost.
