Sunbeam Contoured Heating Pad for Neck & Shoulder Pain Relief with Auto Shut Off Moist Heating Option 22 x 19 Grey

I have barely owned this thing for an hour and let me tell you...I can already tell this will hopefully solve so many of the issues I've been having.I deal with constant tension headaches and its extended into my shoulders and arms. I work a desk job, and so muscle tightness, ergonomics and posture is a constant battle.I've bought a handful of different heating pads with very marginal success for this. Even if I buy a big rectangular pad, it will not stay on me. It's more frustrating than anything else. I've been trying to find a solution that is similar enough to the heated pads that my physical therapist would put on me before my stretches.This though? It's slightly weighted with beads, so it keeps the heat against you. It contoured to the neck, so it wraps around comfortably and has a rigid structure in it to keep its shape. Though I wouldn't make a habit of constantly resting all of my weight against it just for the longevity of the product, it is one step short of those airplane pillows so its very comfortable. And its got a magnet in the front to keep it locked in place. I'm not sure how long that magnet will last being exposed to heat, I'm a little surprised its not velcro or something similar. But even if such a thing happens, it should be an easy fix.I am on the lowest setting and its very, very warm. I've had bad luck with heating pads stopping working, where they will eventually only heat in one spot because they are built and manufactured cheaply. I always have a huge worry with these things starting fires. Sunbeam's reputation I hope will make this a much longer lasting product. For my sake, I really hope this lasts because so far, it seems money very well spent. Time will tell.

Very helpful for my stiff neck pain. The material is soft and it fits comfortably on my shoulders. I use the hottest heat setting and it works great. I only keep it on for about 10 minutes to get results.

My wife has arthritis issues with her neck and upper back. I bought this for her so I could get our old style heating pad back for my lower back. Getting old is all about fighting over the heating pad.The new neck and back pad is mostly just right for my wife's painful areas. She's rather slim, so the fit is generous, but not overly so. She likes the weighted feel. The material and workmanship are adequate and should be reasonably durable if not abused. There are fixed stays in the neck area to keep the neck from sagging, and a thick, bendable stay in the lower neck area to insure a snug fit. The magnetic closure is a bit odd and makes for a loose fit and is not adjustable, but it's also not terribly important.The cord length is generous, and the cord is sturdy, almost too robust. The connector at the pad is big and bulky and quite stiff to use. It requires too much force to disconnect, and is probably better left alone. The control is intuitive and convenient, and the auto shutoff is a very good idea. We have roughly the same control on our older flat pad, and have found it to be reliable and the auto shutoff useful.My wife finds the higher heat settings much too hot, and she mostly keeps it on low. It could probably use one even lower setting, but works pretty well as is. The pad heats up very quickly. It's a bit on the expensive side, but probably fair enough if it lasts a long time.

Working on the computer for too long made my neck sore. No news there. I'm short and realized I was constantly staring up at the monitor on my desktop. This heated wrap was one of the changes that made a real difference. This winter, I'd put it around my neck and shoulders and sit in my recliner, and feel rapid improvement. I'm plus size and had plenty of room around the neck. I like the auto-shutoff for when I fall asleep. The cord is a decent length and the control is easy to use. It seems well put-together and not flimsy. Recommended! I chose this partly because of the Sunbeam name (my parents had a Sunbeam heating pad for forty years) and the quality still seems to be there.

I love this thing. The heat is incredibly relieving for my sore neck. Wraps comfortably around your neck and shoulders. Very soft and smooth material. Four different heating options. A safety timer is built in which adds peace of mind. And the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend it.
