95 customers mention72 positive23 negative

Customers like the size of the pillow. For example, they mention it's the most compact and effective thing they've ever found, and it'll fit in a carry-on. Some are also happy with its size when inflated, saying it'd be perfect to target the lumbar area.

49 customers mention49 positive0 negative

Customers like the adjustability of the sports good. They mention it's easy to adjust as they reposition themselves, and it can deflate or inflate in a few minutes.

183 customers mention98 positive85 negative

Customers have mixed opinions about the inflation of the sports good. Some mention that it inflated on its own, it helped their back and it could be deflated a bit and used as a pillow. It has adjustable inflation, good lumbar support, and it's perfect for travel. However, some customers say that it did not self inflate even after opening the valve, and that it does not deflat completely.

"...It deflates in a few seconds and rolls or folds up into a fairly tiny package--or just leave it flat--that's easy to stow in a briefcase or travel..." Read more

"...When I got them from Amazon, they were bulging, fully inflated. I thought that was odd but dismissed it. Then, I opened one and used it...." Read more

"...It is fantastic - easy to use and adjust as one gains altitude. It also quickly rolls up so it can be stowed when one gets off the ride...." Read more

"...It didn't self-inflate when it first arrived, but after I blew some air into it, I was able to fully inflate...." Read more

72 customers mention42 positive30 negative

Customers are mixed about the quality of the sporting goods. Some mention that it's well-made and durable, while others say that it did not last even one outing and was defective from Day One. Some customers also note that the fabric is tough, but the texture is a bit smooth, making it more durable. Overall, the opinions are mixed, and it'd be best to read the reviews carefully before making a purchase.

"...when you may not want to advertise your back weakness; (2) It lasts well...." Read more

"...: It might be an “Original McKenzie”, but it is made in China, and it fell apart...." Read more

"...It's easy to inflate, about ten seconds of blowing, and it doesn't resist like a balloon so you don't have to have super lungs...." Read more

"...I don't expect this pillow to last a long time as the material doesn't feel durable, it is very similar to a self inflating camping mat, but for the..." Read more

66 customers mention36 positive30 negative

"...Traveling or not. Great value for the money." Read more

"...I sincerely loved it. However, the product has changed and is no longer a product I like...." Read more

Works well
I use this Self inflating back pillow when I am traveling. The only negative is that it does not deflate completely and will not fit in a small bag. I also wish that the manufacturer could put some type of security strap so that you could at least attach it to your bag.
Thank you for your feedback
