These inflatable lumbar support bladders are about $25-30 each. I got mine from a site called Sports Imports. Click image for larger version

I like that, I'm going to have to give this a try. My back is killing me after more than an hour or so driving. My lumbar usually consists of a rolled up hoodie.
