Supportive but has some flaws
As far as the material goes, the purple material has a weird Dr. Scholls type feel. The pad itself is pretty heavy but the strap they provide is garbage. It constantly falls since it can only attach from the top with one strap. You will need to tighten it as far as it will go to prevent slippage and even then it will move occasionally.<br /><br />Additionally, the cover is soft but makes my lower back sweat. If you run hot then that's something to consider. My back doesn't hurt when I use it but sometimes the provided strap buckle digs into my back because of where it passes through... so you need to rotate it a bit before you use it.<br /><br />Overall, it's supportive and low profile compared to other lumbar pillows. I sit on my computer all day doing computational physics but I hardly notice. I'd recommend a purchase if you want a relatively thin but firm gel type pillow.
