While I got to test out the back-buddy myself due to childbirth of my first child in 2013, my back has been in pain due to the epidural I have received while in labor. When I got in touch with Laura ( founder), she was so kind and helpful in helping me adjust the pillow properly after allowing me to review this pillow! After taking some time to trial this pillow, I personally have seen an decrease of back pain, which is such a shock! I can only stand for a few hours at a time and the Back-Buddy has greatly improved that time by an additional few hours at a time!
As a short person standing at 5' 3" this pillow is made to fit a wide range of people comfortably. I love all the fashionable colors that are available. Back- Buddy will definitely become part of my family for years to come!
