Finding the right Lumbar Roll
To help you find the right lumbar roll for your condition, we have added some information about the density of each lumbar roll as a general guideline.
When deciding which product to order, also consider:
How much lumbar support does the seat have? (that you want to use the lumbar roll on) Older car seats have less support than some more modern cars
Are you of petite, medium or heavy build? Petite people might not tolerate a firm support
How big is the hollow in your low back? A large hollow needs more support
What is your personal preference? Some people prefer less support than others
Specialists treating low back pain have discovered that if you sit incorrectly the pressure inside the discs in your low back is significantly increased. Used correctly, The Original McKenzie® Lumbar Roll prevents the onset of back pain and reduces pressure on the discs of the lumbar spine.
The Original McKenzie® SuperRoll
Firm density
The Original McKenzie® SuperRoll is our most popular lumbar roll. It is a superior lumbar support that provides the ultimate in function and aesthetic value. This roll is made of injected-moulded foam, which retains support for an almost indefinite period. Its flatter, curved shape contours comfortably around the body. This is a FIRM lumbar support.
This version is 4 cm's shorter than the previous version - so is suitable for most car seats
Measurements: 360mm (l) x 150mm (h) x 55mm (depth)

The Original McKenzie® SlimLine Lumbar Roll
Medium density and flatter design "for just that little bit extra"
The Original McKenzie® SlimLine Lumbar Roll is designed to be used with modern seating that has some lumbar support, but not quite enough to properly support your low back.
It is also ideal for elderly or petite persons and those who have a limited range of motion in their low back and therefore cannot tolerate the larger size lumbar roll.
Very comfortable back support "for just that little bit extra".
Measurements:350 (l) x 200 (h) x 55 (depth)

The Original McKenzie® Round Lumbar Roll
Medium density
This Original McKenzie® Round Lumbar Roll was the first ever lumbar roll made in the world. Robin McKenzie tried to find a cushion to give his patients in order to remain pain-free, but when he could not find anything suitable to purchase, his wife Joy started making them at the kitchen table in 1968 .
Although this roll looks quite bulky, is compresses down very easily, while still giving the appropriate support.
Measurements: 280 mm (l) x 130 mm (diameter)

The Original McKenzie® AirBack
Can be adjusted from minimal to firm support
The Original McKenzie® AirBack is an inflatable lumbar roll, ideal for commuters and travellers; and for use at the theatre, sporting events, movies or restaurants, etc.
It is especially useful on planes where the lumbar support is generally inadequate for long distance travel. This roll deflates flat taking up minimal space in your bag.

The Night Roll ties around your waist or can be pinned to the bed sheets, to support your lower back and prevent strain that can be caused by bad sleeping positions or inadequate sleep surfaces. Washable cover included.
