Pure Enrichment PureRelief XL Extra-Long Back & Neck Heating Pad, Safe Heat Therapy for Sore Muscles, Pain, & Cramps in Neck, Back, & Shoulders, 4 Heat Settings w/Auto Shut-Off, Soft Fabric (Gray)

After having fallen in love with the Pure Enrichment XXL Heating Pad, I was excited to try this wearable version. It's made from the same plush micro-mink fabric so it feels great. The weight distribution is evenly spread so it's not too confining, even when using the belt attachment to secure the bottom half in place.The collar fastens into place via magnets. It is low enough to give me a little wiggle room to adjust the pad to cover a bit more of my lower back. You have the freedom to keep the collar open or shut (whatever's more comfortable). The release is quick and easy, the same as fastening it shut.The belt is a long velcro strap that you can attach through belt loops or use on its own. It's high quality, but still only velcro. It may be too long or too short depending on your body type. For me, it was fine. I was able to fasten it securely but without it being too loose or too tight. Since the belt is separate, if you wanted to, you could replace it with another of your own choosing. Another reviewer said he used an actual leather belt instead. You could also choose not to use any belt.As for heat, this item provides the same luxurious deep heating as the Pure Enrichment XXL pad, which I referred to as "melting in heaven" in my review of that product. That means on max, it gets very hot but not dangerously or uncomfortably so. It heats up fast and the controller is easy to operate: one button, 4 settings, and the heat levels light up when selected. So far, so good.The problem for me as a relatively normal height and weight male is it's not quite long or wide enough to wrap around my hips or cover the base of my lower back. On max heat, my mid-back gets luxuriously hot while my neck, upper-lower back, and shoulders only get nicely warm, but not hot. Your results may vary based on your height and weight. I just wish this device came in more sizes, or even a full torso wraparound vest. I'd gladly pay more for extra coverage.Prior to getting this item, I had to use two separate heating pads to achieve a similar effect. I would strap on a Sunbeam neck and shoulder heating pad, then drape a Sunbeam "King Size" (12x24) pad over the back of my chair (held in place by the weight of the power cord). This more or less got the job done, but obviously was vastly inferior solution to having this, because the heating pad draped over the chair was not in constant contact with my body while I worked. Plus, the two Sunbeams cost about the same as this, so the Pure Enrichment wearable version makes way more sense (as well as being a lot nicer). Also, the Pure Enrichment version evenly distributes the heat around my neck and shoulders, whereas the Sunbeam concentrated its heat more on my neck than shoulders.Two more quick points I'd like to make:1) There was no weird chemical smell out of the box or after using it.2) It comes with a full 5-year warranty if you register the device with the manufacturer.Overall, this is a great, high quality item that should provide instant relief and increased productivity. You can wear it at your desk or on the couch. It's tight enough to do the job but loose enough you won't feel restricted.

Excellent product. Every home should have at least 1.Excellent body coverage.Very comfortable fabrics.Snug (shapes & weighted areas at/around the shoulders and neck)Warms to settings quicklyFull range of temperatures

I got this for an hour, I used it for 20 minutes and I put It on high but it's really not hot at all but when I feel my back I see It actually does heat.I will use this for a week and tell you the results.I got this because I accidently snapped my neck so my muscles are loose and when I swallow food I feel a tingy thing in my throat and it hurts so I think so I hope this will help.I will edit If this is working.Edit: I been using this for 2 days so far, 20 minutes twice a day, It helped my swallow ting a bit but I think I need to use this for a week or two.Edit edit: I been using this since april 1 It's april 5 now and I can swallow normally, neck still hurts a bit when I look all the way down but I will continue to use this.Thank you for this product! I'm not sure If I needed this but It's always safe to be sure!

A great purchase for neck and shoulder pain. You wear it like a vest, and there is a separate strap if you want to secure around your waist. Allegedly you can wash the unit. It unplugs from cord. So far, very happy with it. On a side note, if you just wanted a wrap to stay warm, this would work as well.

I absolutely LOVED this heating pad! I got almost 6weeks of joy and companionship with it. We had a hot relationship!Bu then? It left me cold and rejected. It refused to communicate and then, we were done.

I’ve used this just a few times so far, but it seems to help with upper and lower back pain!

Bought this after a week of neck pain to replace one of those old rice bags you put in the microwave, thinking a plugged pad would surely be better.Managed to use it two or three times before the controller stopped working and is just blinking red. Theres seemingly no troubleshooting, it just blinks red when the cord is not connected to the pad, but I've tried connecting it up down and sideways and it simply won't function. So that's fun.With that said, even when it did work, in my opinion it worked as a great lower back heater but less a good neck and shoulder heater. The heating element at the neck got weakly warm at best on the highest setting, while my lower back was getting hot enough to want to lower it.Tldr; caution as a back heater, not recommended as a neck heater.

What a life saver. It's great when my shoulders and upper back are super stiff. Also, when I'm cold gives me a gentle hug.
