Okay here's the tea on this heating pad. First off, I've been trying TONS of heating pads the past few months. My requirements were that it stayed on all night, got SUPER hot, made my back pain hurt less, and didn't hurt to lay on. I'll tell you now that this one checks all 4 and is by far the best heating pad I've found for my back pain. If you're looking for a heating pad that gets hot - like almost burns your skin sometimes, this is the one. It takes maybe 5-10 mins to get pretty hot and then gradually gets super hot. It only stays super hot for maybe 10-15 mins then cools off only slightly. When it starts to not be that super hot temp that I like, I just click the heat seating down to 5 (it has 6 settings - 6 being the hottest) and then back up to 6, and usually, it will get super hot again. Kind of like I reset it ya know. Now for that burning hot heat, like where you need to turn it down because it's painfully hot - I only ever feel that kind of heat with this heating pad when I'm sleeping at night with it on my back. Like all of a sudden sometimes it gets soooo hot it wakes me up and I have to turn it down because it's painfully burning me. I'll admit thou, I like that. I mean, I want a super hot heating pad. Cause it's that super hot heat that soothes my back pain at night. Now as far as it staying super hot all night, that's not really the case. Even on the highest setting, it starts to cool off after a few hours. If I don't touch the remote it will stay at a warm temperature all night, but I wouldn't call it a very hot temp. Now it doesn't go completely cold, it just kind of cools down to like a 3/6 for temp I'd say. It's still warm just not as warm/hot as I'd like it. Now I'll usually wake up cause it's not hot enough and then I just do my little trick on the remote. Click it down to the 5 then back up to the 6. Thats all it takes for it to get hot and tasty again in no time. And again it will stay like that for like 3-5 hours. I usually only need to hit the button on the remote once thru out the night to get it back up to my desired temp. So as far as it staying on overnight (9-10 hours) and staying warm, it definitely does stay warm and never goes cold. Which is hard to find in a heating pad. One thing I did notice this week is that at night the heating pad wasn't getting as hot as it did the days previous. I've only had it a month so was like damn, is it broken already? It was like that 2 nights in a row, only getting slightly warm. So I just unplugged it from the wall and plugged it back and voila! That fixed it. That night it got back to it's super hot temp. So just a little trick if you notice it not getting super hot, unplug and plug it back in. As far as the cord goes, it's pretty long and doesn't get tangled. The remote is attached to the cord and is super easy to use. It even lights up when you press the buttons making it handy to use while sleeping or in the dark. The pad is covered with a super soft fabric that can be removed to be washed. And the fabric makes the pad super comfortable to lay on while sleeping or relaxing. If I had to rate this heating pad I would give it a 9/10. The only reason Im marking a point off is because it doesn't stay super super hot the whole night. But I've tried lots of heating pads and this one beats all of them for how long it stays on and for how long it keeps emitting warm/hot heat. It really does help soothe my back pain at night and has made sleeping easier. If you've been looking for a heating pad that gets hot and stays on all night I definitely recommend this one!
