Heating pad for Back, Neck, Shoulder, Cramps and Leg Pain Relief, Heat Pads Christmas Gifts for Women, Men, Mom, Dad, Auto-Off,Machine Washable,Moist Dry Heat Options,Extra Large 12"x24"

By far my favorite material especially for a heating pad. It’s so soft, cozy and warm. It has an auto shut off which is convenient so I don’t burn down my house, and the temperature doesn’t get too hot to where I need to take a break. The cord is long enough to put next to my bed at all times. Quality is just great as well as the pain relief it gives even on the lowest setting. Love this heating pad

Color aside (the mauve-ish side is not attractive to me), this is definitely a five-star heating pad out of the box. (The official cover is "orange-red". The opposing side is a dark gray, for reference.)It's clearly not just another copy of the "standard Chinese factory 12x24" pad Amazon is flooded with. I own one of those, and we're not directly comparing them. This is different, and let me tell you how it's better. For the rest of this review, I'll call this item "mauvy" and my old generic one "bluey".Mauvy is 20x24, Bluey is 12x24. If you're a taller person (I'm 6 foot.), and you want to lay on the couch with a heating pad from upper back to lower back, covering both sides, Mauvy does this. Bluey doesn't. My upper and lower back both ache, and laying in the crux between seat cushions with my feet up on an ottoman, Mauvy is currently warming ALL of me. Bluey could either cover all of upper or lower, OR just my central spine.Bluey is rigid, and doesn't flex much. He feels kind of like a cheap pet bed. Mauvy is thinner and FAR more flexible. He curls around me (again, in that couch crook), and I'm getting full contact all over -- no wrinkles, no lumps from the height difference... again, that size is helping here.Bluey's temperature control sucks. He gets REALLY hot, then just kinda falls off. He has six settings, and they all start off on High, then feel weaker and weaker. I start him on 1, then move to 2 when it stops bothering to heat, and repeat the process. Once 6 is done, I turn him off and start again. It's pretty dumb.Mauvy here... I've only used 1 and 2 so far. Because they cycle so imperceptibly that I can't notice it. Each number feels different, and that thinner, flexible nature is getting him right where I need him. No need to overheat myself anymore.Bluey is a power vampire. He draws 2-3 Watts when plugged in and turned off. It's enough that the controller even feels a little warm. I'm always reticent to leave Bluey alone and connected. My Kill-A-Watt says Mauvy draws 0 Watts when he's off. It's probably not quite zero, but it rounds down at least. The controller is properly cool to the touch.Mauvy's cord is slimmer as it attaches to the blanket portion. Combined with the extra width, I'm never laying on it. Bluey likes to jab me with his.Bluey starts with an automatic timer of 2 hours, and you never know how much is left. His options include "2 hours" and also "2 hours". Mauvy starts with 30 minutes on the clock, adjustable in 30-minute increments up to 2 hours. He gives you a countdown displayed in minutes.I've had Mauvy two days, so I can't speak for durability yet. I've had Bluey for three years, and I confess he's the same he always was.Spend the extra $15 and buy Mauvy. If either of the other colors suit your life better, maybe choose them. I just spent fifteen minutes writing this review, and Mauvy has gently repaired my back from a day of helping my friend move. One of these two used an emotional connection to squeeze hard labor from me, and the other selflessly put me back together afterwards. Who's the real friend here?

I've dealt with lower back pain on and off for a few years, especially in colder weather. This heating pad has been a tremendous help in providing relief. I love the adjustable settings, which allow me to find the perfect temperature, and the built-in timer is a great feature for automatic shutoff. While it won’t cure back pain, it certainly eases discomfort effectively. The material is soft, lightweight, and very comfortable to use. I’m so happy with this product that I even upgraded to a larger size so my wife and I can share it!

4 out of 5 stars!This is a simple heating pad, no frills or fuss, and I grabbed it when it was on sale. I would have gotten another color, but the reddish color was on sale, so I went with that. It works for me, and as others have stated, I do wish the area where the cord connects to the pad wasn't quite so noticeable, if that makes sense.The disk where the cord connects to the pad is on one corner of the pad, and you're able to flip it to either side of the pad to use if you need to maneuver it to avoid pressing against the uncomfortable disk. So that's a minor inconvenience that's mostly manageable.I've not experimented much with the different heat settings or the time limits, but I do appreciate that it's got lots of options for that. I've used it a few times for my shoulder and lower back and just to warm up in the cold mornings, and it's perfectly functional. I would say it helps release tension when used on sore muscles, though it doesn't necessarily give me extended pain relief. It's just a cozy heating pad that I'm enjoying for tension release, stress relief, and general comfort.I think it was a decent price, it's functional, and it might have been a smidge larger. If you're a larger person or if you want to target larger parts of your body, you might want a larger heating pad, but otherwise, it does what it says. And I can't ask for much more than that.

This is really nice. I originally was trying to stop the delivery because I was trying to order one that was waited, but I wasn’t able to do that it delivered early, which generally isn’t a bad thing lol I was upset, but then when I opened it and felt it and used it for a little while I was very pleasantly surprised. It’s really soft. I love the different settings works great for soothing my pain thank you for not letting me stop the order

I actually used this for my newborn to warm up his crib while I was feeding him in the night. It was perfect and left it nice and warm for him to fall back asleep. It’s a quality product and I wasn’t worried about burns at all

I use this to help my lower back. Works well. If it gets dirty I hand wash then hang to dry. Good size. 2 hour timer is useful also temp adjustments. Cord works well. Just have to make sure it’s well attached.

I have had, and regularly used, this heating pad for the last 13 months. The outer fabric is soft and comfortable, and is well made. The size is ample, as is the cord length. It heats quickly, and I like the auto shut off. I have not washed it yet (ewww... I guess I better get to it!), so that I cannot comment on. I would rate this product a 5 except the plastic covering on the control buttons is cracking and falling off. It looks like it will continue to work without the plastic covering, but just a bit of a disappointment on an otherwise fantastic product.
