Searching for best moist heating pad for the money. Want it to conform to body , have good heat, good moisture , and self-timing control. Is this the

Yes, it works beautifully. The pad has weight that helps the moist heat penetrate deeper into the tissue.

Could be. This pad is large and long, has a wide range of temperatures, heats up fast and has a time. The only problem I had was not getting enough moisture. The manufacturer told me that the pad draws moisture from the room air, so if the air is dry, you won't get much moisture.

I had this one for years and finally it died and I bought this same one again. It heats to the exact temp that you want for the exact amount of time you want. I keep it in my bed during the winter and have it set to shut off after 20 min. It is a large somewhat flexible pad - you can place it how you want it. It is moist heat and not dry heat. I love my pad. I made my own cover for it out of a towel because I liked the terry cloth fabric better than the one that came with it.

I believe you will find that this pad will deliver all the features you are seeking. I have used this pad for several months now and no other pad that I have used in the past compares to the high quality of this product.

I am very happy with this product. Pad is large, timer is great. I recently purchased my second one.

yes . I was introduced to this, by a physical therapist and this pad has served very well.I especially, like to be able to control the heat and time.This has really helped me.I bought one for my daughter as well.

The best heating pad I have ever had. 60 minute cycle and the heat I have never had all the way up. Works well moist too.

I like the one I bought and it does have moist heat. It is heavy because of size but it will wrap all around my back or cover both knees depending on where I'm hurting. It will turn off after 30 minutes. It has a good range of heat temp.

The mattress pad is just as good as the day I bought it. We just bought an identical one for another bed in our home. I am not hot sleeping on it, it doesn't have the heat reproducing qualities found in standard foam pads. Hope this helps you in your decision.

As far as I know all heating pads tell you not to lie on them. I haven't let that stop me with any I have ever owned. Just pay attention to the heat setting and how long you lay on it. Also, if you have a medical condition where heat may cause problems, you want to be very careful.

Yes it will be well worth it. I first came across this item at a yard sale it was brand new and I gave $2 for it! I still have it and have used it for a few years I use it almost daily. I recently purchased this one for my mom as a gift and was very happy to pay this price! It has a switch you hold down for the heat get it as hot as you want it then release when it cools down you just press and hold again you can't burn yourself. Very well worth the money!! I highly recomenned it!

they usually come with a nice soft flannel cover..that is what helps create the moist heat from you body being against it, Iusually cut a hole in the cover for the cord to come thru, and it stays on better. The best body heat pad there is

Only thing I've had trouble with is that the cord can kink up if you flip the pad over too often -- it needs to be "unwound" periodically. I've had the pad and/or control fail because of that, and with my new one am watching those "kinks" carefully. LOVE this heating pad!

I was told it is the most Eco friendly of all waterproof pads by The Clean Bedroom. I find it stiff and cold and have been trying to get a good mattress pad to try over it. One that can be washed and dried, not dry cleaned. Not sure what the inner layer is.

I love my heating pad. The extra length means I can get relief from my shoulders to my lower back, both problem areas for me, without ever having to move the thing around. Yes, I recommend it.

My wife uses the living daylights out of her pad, many times more use than a normal person would ever use it. Like multiple times a day for chronic pain relief, all night sessions even. And it's not even 7 months old, yet it still feels and performs like new. Fast high heat, solid firm feel yet flexible for wrapping, she can't say enough about how good this purchase was. Hope that helps you decide.

It does bunch up when I put it behind my back when sitting. I don't know about the dry heat. I haven't really noticed it being really moist. It does feel really good, but it keeps shutting off after ten minutes or so. I think you can reset that part, but I haven't figured out how to do it.

No you do not feel the "moist". If it actually works is is very subtle. I have used other heating pads which make the same claim but they all act the same. Not much moisture gets into the pad from the atmosphere around you.

I've only used this with the cold therapy. For heat, I use Beyond Bodyheat self-stick *pads* (going against the directions by attaching it directly to the skin).

You want to get pad damp first prior to putting on. It heats pretty fast but if you wanna wait a minute or two that's fine. I normally just start right away.

You can use it dry, hence dry heat. Or, you can spray some water on the pad then use it, hence moist heat.

This definitely gets hot hot hot. I have a blister on my butt as a reminder. You definitely need to use through several layers or only on the lower settings. I can't say I noticed any difference in relief between this and my traditional heating pad. One thing I didn't care for was there was no way too use more than 90 minutes at a time. Mine did seem to be a quality product and the 2 blisters I got are definitely my fault. Oh, and yes it is pretty flexible and comes with a strap that will help hold it to your leg.

Just throw the thinness inexpensive cotton mattress cover on it and you'll be fine. Found one at Wally world (make sure its cotton) for less then $20 with deep pockets. I didn't experience any body heat problems prior but a thin cotton cover will help dissipate body heat worries & protect this awesome mattress. Reviewers were right. Hard to get up in the morning its soooo comfortable. Haven't written a review yet but some advice, it might take almost two weeks to fully expess itself into that firm softness (cloud-like) that so many seek.

I sleep hot, very hot, so I've tried every pad imaginable from silk, linen, 100% cotton etc. My favorites for the least amount of heat: silk (super expensive, short lived and dry clean), and the bamboo listed here. This pad has a good loft for air flow but is filled with poly so there is some heat retention however the bamboo seems to disperses it so no ultra hot spots to bake in. I also use 100% bamboo sheets or 100% cotton percale sheets and I have a bamboo topped latex mattress, not heat producing memory foam. I've done everything I could think of to prevent breaching like a dolphin all night and so far I am happy with the results of this pad. I hope it works as well for you.
