What's best pillow you have to support lower back herniated disc problems? Thanks!!

If your back problem requires you to keep your legs elevated then I think this pillow would work for you. My wife has lower back issues and this pillow allows her to sleep at night. She use to use a recliner as a bed until we got this pillow. She loves it and I have my wife back. Hope it works for you.

I can't answer that. But you could contact the Hermell people and ask what they would recommend. You can Google their name and find the contact information online. I hope you find the right product. Back problems are the pits.

Sorry for the delay in answering this. Used the pillow today and yesterday it does support most of the upper back if you're not a very large adult.

My lower back was so bad that I had surgery to fuse some lumbar disks. The pillow was a life saver. you have to position and reposition the pillow at times. The straps that hold to a chair are useful only to carry it. It is not a posture pillow.

The contour is there and definitely helps the positioning of your head. Love the support as I have disc issues in my neck. I totally recommend this pillow!!

I haven't found the perfect pillow, but David's came close... you might look into the Travel Nook pillow. It's a matter of trying a few and seeing what works for you. Happy Trails....

Yes I wanted firm pillows so I can have back support. So I have 2 of these & 2down pillows :)

I have really bad lower back pain also - this particular mattress is VERY firm - for me personally a little too firm and not enough cushion for my hips (side sleeper) and shoulder so we just ordered and got yesterday a 3in mattress topper with a 4lb density which seemed to really help - my husband loves the firm mattress and had no complaints. If this is too firm you might look at the 14 inch from innovations - apparently that one is a bit softer.

I too have that issue and need lower back support. This chair is amazing for that! and much more.

It does somewhat Zak. Combine it with a lot of neck stretching and you will do so much better. This devise actually stretches the neck upward. So unless you do other stretches such as side to side, you might still have pain and stiffness. This is regardless of herniated discs or not. Either way, stretching is the key to some relief and a pillow under the neck when you sleep on your back.

It depends on what is causing the pain. Curcumin is a great anti-inflammatory, it does wonders for my psoriatic arthritis in my neck but does nothing for the ruptured disc in my lower back.

I never sleep with anything under my head when on my back. It's very bad for your neck and spine. I would suggest getting a neck support type pillow and using that to cradle your neck while sleeping. You will be amazed at how much better you will feel in the morning. I got these pillows to basically fill space on the king sized bed we bought. They make good "body pillows" also, but may be too firm for a back sleeper. Just my opinion. Hope this helped.

My wife has 3 of these. One has gotten very soft as she has used it often. She uses it sitting in a chair to read or watch TV. She has an arthritic damaged disc which causes a nerve to be very painful. The pillow supports her neck and is quite comfortable. The third pillow is a backup as she does not want to be without one. As an aside, we have other neck pillows that do not work for her.

Works for me! I definitely recommend this brand & type of wedge pillow. I bought the down alternative wedge pillow (no feathers). Besides watching TV from bed occasionally, I am a side sleeper, so along with the wedge, I use a softer King size pillow or body size pillow in front of it. I would say it would not be comfortable by itself unless you sleep on your back & like a firmer pillow. This is not a pillow you sink your head into. I purchased wedge pillow cases w/velcro fasteners that definitely shape the pillow into a firmer wedge. I suggest the covers to protect the pillow and keep the pillow shape from getting sloppy. I too used to sleep with 2 pillows to prop my head up, for sleep apnea & sinus issues, but inevitably the pillows would slide or loose their shape. This wedge pillow has been my best solution yet. I suggest contacting Downlite site(I believe they make these pillows) customer service to see if they have the cases available. I purchased them last year, but haven't seen them listed on their site again.

I don't think so - the base of the pillow is the least firm part and so would probably not provide the support that you are looking for. Good Luck!

We have a small pillow that my husband places in the small of his lower back. I do not use a pillow. So I am not sure if this helps but we are very satisfied. Good luck

Are you inquiring about a feather pillow or a down filled pillow? I secured new down pillows in Oct. that I absolutely love. I am hoping the 500 ThreadCount (TC) fabric retains the fluff better than the 300 TC that I bought 5 yrs. ago. I cannot tell you for certain but so far it is great.

I love mine!!! I have severe neck and shoulder issues and have bought so many pillows! I even had the water one suggested by the chiropractor and paid soooo much for it! It seems now that I think about it that mine got more comfortable as time passed I love mine wouldn
