Lumbar Support Waist Cushion Backrest Pad Review

My husband's family has bad back problems. His mom, dad, sister, and other relatives have had back surgery, or back pain.

I am really happy to share with you Konnor Strong Lumbar Support Waist Cushion Backrest Pad that you can find here: https://www.amazon.com/Konnor-Strong-Support-Cushion-Backrest/dp/B06XBS39QC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1493982040&sr=8-1&keywords=lumbar+support&m=A39BXQKUDFCLWW

Perks for the Lumbar Support Waist Cushion Backrest Pad:

• It helps to support your lumbar and allows for relaxation on your back and spine
• Relieves your back tightness that you may have from stress
• Relieves pressure and pain 
• Soothes your your aching, tired back
• Improves your posture - something I could use for sure!

Side Views:

You can see how it helps with posture!

Front and Back Views:

You can see how straight as a board he's sitting. It clasps on much like a booster seat would for a child.

I like how it's easy to put on, and easy to take off. If someone needed to they could use this at work, and at home. You can even use it in the car!

I plan on using it on the couch for when I have surgery. I need something to keep me upright. We don't have a recliner.

Cleaning:

I do like that it's a gray color. It would be nice if they carried it in a lot of other colors. I think I'd prefer brown to grey. The neutral color matches most decors, and one can't see dirt on it. That's perfect because often times Travis is outdoors working in the yard, welding, or grinding on a sculpture. The outside material is a soft velvet, which is both comfortable and warm. The pillow case is breathable, removable and machine washable.

The he pillow inside can not be washed. So bare in mind that you will need to keep it away from wet, or damp areas.

Cost:

$29.99 and on sale for $18.99 Prime

Do you have a support cushion for your back?

Dual Adjustable Lumbar Lower Back Brace and Support Belt Review

Travis and most of his family has back problems. He's had to see Chiropractors and a Physical Therapist for both his back and should. It's best when he sticks with his back exercises.

The hard thing is to remember to not bend with your back. Dual Adjustable Lumbar Lower Back Brace and Support Belt helps remind you of that. It keeps your back straight.

It's nice that this support belt fits into a box, but I think once it's opened the box for most people will get tossed.

It really took only a minute, maybe less time for him to put this on. The material is really breathable! He has tried another type of back support before that has room for an ice pack, or a pack that you can heat up in the microwave. This one is a bit different. Similar to put on though.

I has a velcro in the front. I happened to get him a large. He's a skinny guy, so if you plan on getting one of these you may want to go up a size. It comes in S/M and L/XL. Travis probably could be a medium, but I went to a large because I knew it could be tightened.

As you can see it forces the posture to be upright. If you're like me and tend to slouch this may be great for you to try out. I may be wearing it at work. I tend to sit around a lot.

My husband likes to wear back supports for gardening. He forgets, and starts to bend with his back instead of his knees. 

Cost:

$45.99, and on sale for $19.99 and on Prime

Do you, or anyone you know have back issues?

Vector Back Brace - #1 for Targeted Lumbar Compression (L) Review

My husband's family has a history of back problems. He has been down on his back at times. It doesn't help that he's a dental technician; where he hunches over a lot. We recently got Vector Back Brace - #1 for Targeted Lumbar Compression (L) from BioSkin to review.

It comes with a Hot/Cold Gel Pad. Many get pads are only cold, or hot, but usually not both. Different pains require different temps.

To heat:

Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Flip the pad every 10 seconds. We heated ours up, and had no leaking problems.

To freeze:

Place the pad in the freezer for at least an hour. This does require more planning.

There is a pocket in the brace for the Hot/Cold Gel Pad. This is really handy!

The brace looked a little complicated to me at first. Let me tell you it's not complicated to use at all! It has thick velcro in the center, and a pulley system to pull and attach. Everything is pretty sturdy! It should be snug, not tight. Travis had no problem pulling it to fit right. 

Wash:

If you need to wash it it's hand wash only. You can use a detergent, but it needs to be a mild one. I make my own, so that's what we'll use. I wasn't expecting to wash this any other way. Sticking something in the machine that has a lot of velcro seems like you're asking for it to break down. Hang it up to dry. 

What Travis Thought:

My husband likes this so much that he brought it to work for his co-worker to try. His co-worker has been in and out of the hospital with back problems.

This may be something we get for my in-laws next year. It's handy, and they have back problems!

Cost:

$153.95, but on Amazon it's for sale for $99.95! I think this is a great price considering the costs of going to a chiropractor over and over again. Prevention is key!

Travel Pillow Review

My husband is the one that always seems to want a pillow in the car for when he dives any sort of distance. I got a Travel Pillow to Review. You can get it on Amazon for $29.99, and it's on sale for $19.99.

It came in a travel bag, for when it's not being used.

The pillow has a valve, you can open it, and it practically inflates its self. If it's not all the way full, you can blow into it to fill it more.

On the back of the pillow is an elastic band strap, so you secure it to the back of the seat. 

 I didn't have my husband review it. Shhh...I'm giving him this for his birthday. Let me tell you it sure is comfortable.

It fits right where your neck is. The valve doesn't get in the way of your comfort. 

This Travel Pillow is Unique:

This travel pillow gives neck or back support for travel in the: 

• Car
• Airplanes
• Chair for basic support at home while relaxing. 

It is great as a customizable lumbar support pillow to give you extra comfort in office chairs, or anywhere you find yourself in need. 

• Low Profile - Relaxing shouldn't require you to feel claustrophobic. Relax without the bulkiness of traditional U-shaped neck pillows. 

• Self-Inflatable - Simply turn the easy-open valve, and within seconds your pillow will be ready to use. I did have to add extra air to ours.

• Full Neck Support - The pillow center cradles the arch in your neck, providing ample support right where you need it.

• Keep Your Head Up - Their unique side wings prevent your head from tilting, so you won't have to endure neck pain later.

• Strap It On - No need to lose that perfect pillow placement. Secure it to your headrest with our handy elastic band.

• Easy to Clean - Their fabric easily wipes clean with a damp cloth.

The Shape:

The unique, low-profile shape of the pillow cradles the arch in your neck--providing ample support right where you need it, and ditching the bulk where you don't. Unlike traditional neck pillows, the side wings of our design support your head from tilting, while still allowing you to interact with your neighbors. Best of all, its inflatable construction features a luxurious inner foam that gives support without a hollow, bouncy feeling of other inflatables.

Customers have also reported the pillow to be particularly useful for those with chronic neck pain and other spinal/neck conditions. Consider its use as a therapeutic neck pillow to reduce strain and provide ample support whenever and wherever it is needed.

My husband has both neck and back pain at times. I think this is perfect for him!

I'm so glad Terry from My Journey with Candida introduced me to this company!

Recently I had to go to an orthopedic doctor to get my ankles/feet looked at. One of my ankles turns in a lot. It's genetic. My Dad has the same issue as I do. I had to get special arch supports built. They do help. The problem is that they only fit for one pair of shoes.

Profoot has The 2oz. Miracle - Custom Molding Insoles that work with a variety of shoes. They mold like custom orthotics. They are built so much better then supports you get in stores!

They also sent me Plantar Fasciitis - Gel Inserts. They are clinically proven orthotic to relieve heel pain. It helps relieve aching pain the the heel of the foot.

The first picture is the bottom of the supports and the second picture is the top view. I love how it has a little L and R on the bottom. It's hard to tell left and right apart with these.

The last product they sent me is called Velvetex - Callus Cushions. I have to say that they are super soft and sticky enough that they do not fall off. One other key thing that stood out to me is that they are latex free. I have a slight latex allergy.

Now is your chance to win everything I received!
