This is a good heating pad. I love the fact that it comes up the nape of the neck as that is why I purchased it. Although I wish was a little more sturdy/stiffer on that part. I feel as it tends to fold over a little bit and not stay put when sitting in upright position and not leaning against anything. The 4 heat settings are great. With warm, low, medium, and high. It heats up fairly quick. I usually have it set on medium and that is plenty warm. I also wish it was say a little tighter fitting for sitting in the upright position because then I could probably get away with it at a lower setting. When laying down with it, I usually only use the low setting as then there is "pressure" on the spots I am trying to treat. It works best if you are laying down verses just sitting upright. I suffer from chronic neck/ Degenerative Disc Disease and shoulder pain due to car accident. It is plenty big enough it hit all my areas at once. I am 5'1" and it comes at least to the middle of by back. I don't general go to sleep with it on as I use it enough through out the day/evening. It does have the 2 hour shut off, but I also don't sit that long with it on. But if you take it off and forget to shut it off, it is a great feature. I would definitely recommend this product. I haven't had to wash it yet, so I will not rate that. Although it does say you can. I ordered the burgundy colored one and I do like the color, especially since it is a dark color, I don't think it will show any dirt. The cord is plenty long enough as well. When I first received it and used it the first couple of times, it did have a very faint odor. But it did go away after a few uses. It is nice and soft material. I have owned it for over a month now and have not had any issues with. I use it daily, several times through out the day/evening. Overall I am very happy with this product and hope to get many years worth out of it with no issues.
We are fighting over it, I'm going to order another one. It has great controls and hits my neck, upper and lower shoulders perfectly. The long length is purfect for my back. My only suggestion would be to make the magnet closure with a zipper pocket so they could be removed, if necessary, for people with a pacemaker.
I was hoping for more heated area but I don't think the parts that get warm are any larger than the regular size pad. I would not buy another. I would go back to regular size.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

AWESOME! Purchased for our Son. While he was away for 4 days, I used it. Such a delightful product. We also have the smaller neck version = equally happy.
I bought this because I have arthritis in my neck and it causes pain in my shoulders also. This is the first thing I've used that really helps the pain in my neck and shoulders. I use it daily. Thank you so much for making such an amazing product.
