Lots better than a pillow and for only one dollar!! Some people use these in their computer chairs and they would be great in the car if you are on a long trip. I haven't seen these in any other of the dollar-type stores.
No, I think they were just in a display in an aisle near the front of the store. Not pharmacy. These will tuck behind your back and reach from the seat to almost shoulder height. They are an open black mesh with a framework that gives. These are not something you wear. You put it in the chair. I got a couple for family members maybe a month ago. I haven't seen them anywhere but Dollar Tree. Ask the cashier if she knows where they might have them. I remember going to get one when they were first out and there was a new shipment. They were in a stack framework with a bungee cord across to keep them corralled. I took the cord off to get what I wanted and it was like taking the lid off one of those prank jars with the spring inside! Had a good laugh at myself as I was reassembling their display.
