  • dont even waste time trying the other thoracic pillows
Supportive and well made. Straps hold it in place great. fomi and fellows are way to squishy and require constant adjustment.

  • UPDATE! 8/2023 Seems to be the best back pillow I've ever had (I have a collection over the years!)
UPDATE AUGUST 2023: THE DESIGN HAS CHANGED! I bought another now and the long part of the T up my back is at least 2 inches shorter that the OPTP design bought in 2019. And the lumbar support cushion is now rounded and much thicker than the original which were less thick. SAdly I called OPTP and the customer service woman was not familiar with anything changing, but when she measured she also saw that the height was now about 15 inches and the thickness of lumbar about 3 inches. DOESN"T WORK FOR ME ANYMORE. ORIGINAL 2019 I discovered this pillow when trying to get comfortable in a new car drivers seat (before I purchased a car). I was at my wits end with the darn forward head restraints pushing my head forward. I was about to settle for an okay comfort seat that was a 'luxury car' that I did not want to have to pay that much for. Found this and it changed the seating choice down to a more affordable vehicle. I am also now using it on two different typing chairs and just took it on the Amtrak train or a 7 hour trip each way. (Guess what... the Amtrak NEW seats mimic the car seat 'slouch/slump back/neck positioning" this pillow made the trip comfortable and much easier to carry this T shaped pillow than other types of heavier support pillows. I was also able to fold it into a small backpack and then also into a cloth grocery bag that made carrying it much easier. I only wish they came with a 'pillow case' over the dark one. I have put mine in a pillow case on several occasions b/c it picks up pet hair easily and is harder to remove than just pulling the regular pillow case off. And having a light colored case in some instances is also visually easier to see and remember to take it with me leaving a public event, i.e. movie, etc. I have purchased two now, but am leaving one in the car permanently and so I am hoping to find another one perhaps slightly reduced in cost as getting three of them is getting a little pricey. I only put down a 4 on the comfort as the straps themselves really don't work that well on my car seat or other chairs but they seem to just stay in place pretty well without the straps. People keep asking me 'how it works' and I've given up trying to explain other than it just works! (to keep back straighter and supported so shoulders can relax and head not pushed forward! ... show more

  • Good design for thoracic support
Pros: Good design for thoracic support, the foam padding is soft yet supportive, and the straps work well. Cons: Very hot, my back gets sweaty rather easily from the cotton cover. Not quite enough lumbar support, a little more padding for the lumbar section would be better. The thoracic section is a good idea, but its a bit too tall and too wide and the top. It's the best product I've found for thoracic support, but still my shoulders blades rest against the top section, rather than my spine. I wish it became more narrow at the very top to let my shoulder blades sit back nicely without fighting the foam. It also does not have side to side support, so making turns is a bit harder, I find myself leaning in a bit into the turns kinda like driving a go-cart. It would be nice if the lumbar section had wings to cradle you in a bit, make it feel like a bucket seat for your lumbar section. I'm 6'2, weigh 170, with a tad bit more curved spine than normal, and recently became a Uber/Lyft driver, driving city and highway for 10+ hours a day sometimes. I tried this product for 4 straight days. So far the best, but still needs improvement. I actually purchased the Kulik SystemDriver Help Solo system, I took the foam out of this product (ODTP) and cut it with a bread knife to make it thinner (less padding), and combined the two products to make my perfect back support. Seems to be the perfect fit for me. ... show more

  • Great item!
Other than the fact that Freud would have a field day with how this looks strapped to my office chair, this thing works great. It's like sitting on a chiropractor's lap. Great for realigning the spine to its proper position as well as muscle massage.

  • Firm support. Did not really fit my work chair.
Support was firm but kept slipping around in my chair. It’s a sturdy product but was only used for a few days. If I can find a way to secure it will try using it again.

  • This product is excellent for promoting good posture!
This is one of the few products we found that supports the “thoracic area of the back”. Our cars with sunk in seats, supposedly for comfort, are promoting a nation of hunched backs and rounded shoulders. This product remins us to sit with healthy posture in the car or in chairs. We took off the straps, and it works well like that too. I would say the thoracic support could be longer and reach up closer to the neck, but this product promotes healthy posture better than anything we have tried. It is not cheap but is well made and it works! ... show more

  • Relieved thoracic discomfort, created lumbar discomfort
I tried to use this in both of my cars to relieve thoracic discomfort from long drives. I had tested it out briefly at my PT's office, and I was 90% sure it was going to work for me. However in real-world use I realized its shortcomings: I affixed this to two different car seats (both Toyota) to try it out, the provided elastic attachment bands did an adequate job. While this support relieved discomfort in my thoracic back, it created discomfort in the lowest region of my lumbar (the region without cushion support) after 10-15 minutes sitting/driving in my car. There was just no way to get fully comfortable with it, and because it pushes you out a bit from your seat, any motion (cornering, speed bumps) in the car allows your body to shift around instead of being otherwise locked/cradled into your seat. Perhaps I just needed a full-seat support, or maybe just purchase different cars in the future. So while it DID relieve thoracic discomfort, it created lumbar discomfort. Amazon's return process was easy, so I was satisfied in trying this out. With these types of items you really just have to try it out for yourself, as everyone has different body requirements. ... show more

  • I LOVE this thing
This cushion is the BEST for someone with a thoracic herniated disc who hates the curve of a bucket seat. It props me forward right where I need the straightening out in my mid to upper spine. A lot of vehicles, including mine (Honda CRV '16) have a head rest that juts forward and prevents me from very much neck range of motion, looking up, etc. which is especially annoying if you wear your hair in a ponytail a lot like I do. Bucket seats seem to be made as though they are designed for people with bad posture, but I don't have bad posture and I usually sit up straight, so bucket seats are TOO curved (ie, for a slumping posture!). By popping my whole thorax forward and sitting me up straighter, this cushion makes it so the back of my head isn't jammed into the headrest anymore. Totally worth the $40 pricetag - lifesaver, makes driving SO much more comfortable, and I'm still protected by my headrest in case of an accident. Now I take it with me when I travel in other people's vehicles too. I should probably buy a backup cushion! The cushion did start to curve a little to the shape of my seat after half a year of use but functions the same. I also don't tie it to the back of the bucket seat with the loops because they don't stay well, but I just manually adjust it behind my back every time I get in my vehicle. The cloth is soft and the cushion comfortable and it has been quite durable considering how much I use it and drive everywhere. ... show more
