Does the lumbar area vibrate and heat, or is the vibration feature not concentrated in the lumbar region but just spread out through the entire mat?

It is spread throughout as it goes through 5 sequences. The heat is constant. Since it is a 30 minute the lumbar does get its share of the action. I have rods and screws in my lumbar area and I thoroughly enjoy the pad.

yeah, guess it does say that -- actually I'd not buy this product if you are looking for a cushion to compensate for posture -- it has 8 pads that provide several levels and modes of vibration -- also heat. I use the vibration functions to assist my really skrewed-up lumbar and it provides considerable relief, quickly, and with some lasting effect. pads at back of thigh (hamstrings') and mid back at base of trapezius and bottom of shoulder blades provides a lot of relief -- but that's MY back. If you're getting chronic issues because of posture or upper-body mass distribution I'd probably look for a different product.

i understand the mechanism is very simple and there is even a site where it tells you how to make your own vibration mat. therefore, i would think anyone with electrical knowledge or mechanically inclined may be able to check out your problem. you did not say what type of problem u r having.

Vibration. This seat has various modes, speeds and intensities, so as far as vibration car massagers go, this is a decent one. I've had them with the massagers right down the middle which aggravated my spine. My only dislike with this one is that the two leg massagers poked into my legs and were uncomfortable, but I was able to fold the bottom cushion behind the back cushion and use it as extra lumbar support. Hope this helps.

It is supposed to. I don't have pain, so I don't know. But I do use my mat and I love it. It feels wonderful. Great way to relax.

It feels to be a vibrating massage. It has different patterns it will do, up and down, alternating spots, covers neck, upper back, middle back, lower back and the back of upper legs. You can pick which areas you want it to cover and the intensity and speed. I had one similar to this one before and I like this one much better. Hope this helps!

Yes. I bought mine more than six months ago and I use it every day. I have heated seats in my car so I tucked the seat part behind the back portion there's no vibration in the seat. The heat is in the back portion and it is nice in the winter. I have a bad back and it does help.

No vibration but this is a great product. It easy to take place and my baby loves napping in it.

Yes. It has a setting for vibrate only. The rollers will not move, but you will still feel them.

No, but I put mine between the mattress and the mattress pad. It doesn't move around at all.

I have bulging discs at every level t12-l5-s1. Since a lot of my discomfort comes from spasm, i would say the mat feels good on my back. The little white spikes press into the spasm and feels great. If its nerve pain, thats another story.

The heat is just at the center (lower back) where you see the red spot. All the other spots you see are for vibration only. James

That is the main problem with the mat-there is no rough surface. Both sides are smooth so the chair glides easily across the mat but the mat also slides across the floor as well.

It doesn't specifically have a mobile lumbar component but between the vibration and the heat, it does bring relief. It's the best thing we found for the money.

Not at all. It's a low vibrating sound, it isn't loud. It works wonders with tense muscles. I love it, and I ordered a second one for my dad.

Just vibration but it is soothing and powerful. The heat on low back is good also.

Yes, it does insulate from sound, although we have it placed over carpeting which also helps with that. We do have the Nautilus recumbent bike which is not very noisy. Make sure you don't purchase from OJ Commerce. They are a nightmare to deal with. Also, just make sure the mat is long enough for your needs with whatever equipment you have. I hope this helps.
