Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The husband, while fairly physically fit, is on his feet all day and regularly uses a heating pad at night to relieve sore muscles: particularly the back and hips. In the course of five years he has burned out three heating pads, this being our fourth, and the one he seems most happiest with. I’m rather astonished that it has a five year warranty. Considering our history with heating pads, this could be the best investment we’ve made in a while! The larger size (12” x 24”) is great, allowing for more muscle(s) to be covered. Simply perfect for sore backs! The cover is composed of a thick, fleece-like fabric and washable, 100% polyester. (Washing instructions: Do not use bleach. Do not use wringer. Wash in cold water on gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low heat or line dry.) There are six settings, varying in heat. You can select whether you’d prefer to have it automatically turn off in 2 hours or for it to stay on continously. Having a husband who either falls asleep or runs to work, leaving a whirlwind of chaos behind him, the 2 hours setting is fantastic! (I believe his previous heating pad turned off automatically after 1/2 hour. This caused one to either not be completely at ease mentally – anticipating the shut-off; or be caught off guard and suddenly realizing your sore parts are cold and achey again.) I know some have enjoyed the moist heat option, but we have not tried it, yet. It’s nice to know the option is there for eventual use.
