Strangely enough it is 2015 & those that make seats for planes have yet to hear of lumbar support.Has anyone used this as lumbar support on airplanes?

Yes, I have, however I purchased the travel pillow with a denser down from the manufacturer, http://www.allaboutdown.comIt is the same exact size, but has a denser fill. It works very well. Good Luck!

I have not used this pillow for lumbar support but I would suggest that the pillow is soft and therefore would not be suitable.

I have,,, It is my favorite travel essential. It is a great pillow for lumbar and sleep.

Lumbar support is very good, but... This seat cushion is "light duty" and would probably not last long with contractor/frequent use. It is not well suited to frequent entry/exit; it is better suited to long drives with few stops. Also need to be sure that 12V outlet shuts off when car is turned off or battery will run down.

I hope you haven't been waiting to long for an answer. I wanted to sit in my chair for a bit to give you an actual chair answer and not guess. After a half hour I could feel my back muscles stretching out a bit. I think the back of my chair is to puffy for a proper test. It seems to be pushing my head out a bit. Airplane chairs don't have that pillow so I think my answer would be yes, I think it would be good on a flight. As I am typing this, it does feel good whilst sitting up in a chair. I would suggest putting a towel or something on it when you use it. The foam feels weird. :)

The lumbar support is a medium density foam cushion that adjusts up and down to fit your back. It offers better support than without it, but the plastic "C" clips that lock the support onto the chair allow more give that I would like. From the looks of the new posture fit tech - it's more secure and less likely to give, offering more support than the lumbar support feature. In the end though it's still the most comfortable chair I've ever sat in. It's more than paid for itself in the added productivity it's allowed me to be, instead of having to adjust, get up and walk off the sore spots... I can get my job done.

I have used it under all seats on regular size planes, and under aisle seats in the smaller regional jets - for probably 200,000 miles so far. Occasionally airlines have an electronics box hidden under a seat, in which case it is very tight, and if the case is bulging full, I just take out the book or whatever is making the case bulge. I suspect there may be a problem under the widow seat of some of the smaller regional jets.

We think it is very comfortable! Both my husband and I use it at our home office. It is good lumbar support for me.

Not an adjustable lumbar support. The mesh back, however, is contoured to support the lower back.

I haven't used it on a plane as of yet. However, I don't see it being a problem. I will be taking mine on my trip in September.

The front of my seat is flat except lumbar support. If you have side bolstering on your seat it will not work well as it will not sit flat against the seat.

I took it but didn't use it. The air France flight that I was on had its own footrests. I agree it was heavy and took up needed space in my carry on. My friend (who recommended it) swears by hers.

Since I haven't tried taking it on an airplane I can't honestly answer that however I see no reason why it could not be stowed on an airplane. I definitely plan to take it with me wherever I fly. This chair has set me free! I LOVE it. Kat Man, if you have anymore questions regarding this chair, feel free to personally e-mail me...pianagirl1@gmail.com

If you like a really small pillow. I use it mostly in my recliner as an extra head support. It's good for airplanes too.

I have had mine for a year. So far it holds up fine. The lumbar supports help a lot in an area that does tend to blow out over time.

Not reallly, If you have back problems like I do there is no lumbar support. It would probably fit a very large person better. However, the seat has a nice padded seat and is very comfortable for many hours. The arms are very comfy also. To fix the lumbar prob for me I made a small blanket to fit over the chair and pinned it under arms and under the back and put a thin pillow to wrap around the inside back. Works great but not great to look at.

I used this seat until my oldest turned 4 when I moved him into a high back booster. I think he actually prefers the Combi seat to the booster he moved into, but he hit the weight/height limitations recently. As far as taking it on a plane I always take 1 of my Combi Coccoro seats on with me. I have a 20mo old and a 6mo old who will take turns in the seat depending on who is napping because the cushion makes it more comfortable to sleep in than the plane seat. The seat fits very easily into the plane seat also, so no struggle there. We fly internationally quite frequently and this has been a lifesaver for me on those long flights when it's difficult and uncomfortable to hold a heavy sleeping baby (or 2!) the whole way.

Hi - I own this unit and it's pretty good. I would not take it on a plane - it's awkward even folded up - the handle sticks out - I think you'd find it a real pain to try and fit - no flex.

Head support is similar to the airline seats that have the type of headrest that you can bend. I would say that the sleeper travel pillow has good back support but head support, not as much.
