Is this heating pad heavy? I am looking for a weighted heating pad.

I would not call it weighted. It is a little heavier just because it is bigger

Yes, it is and it is wonderful. I have had mine thirty-five years after being hit head on in a car accident. It is just now not heating even though the light goes on. I would absolutely recommend the switch that you control because it puts you to sleep and you can be burned easily if you tape the lever or whatever. I can't see why one would want to buy an additional cover as it comes with a washable one I believe. Though a cover is in the picture, I'm not sure it is in the package. This price is just a little more than I paid for it 35 years ago!

If it is the Thermophore, yes, it is.... They are fantastic - I have had many thru the years and will use nothing else - hope that helps!

I don't know what product it is you're asking about; the email had no picture. I think this is the electrical one I bought and sent back because you had to keep your finger on the on switch all the time! Very inconvenient and unrealistic. I finally bought one that has little beads and heats up in the microwave, and it is heavy.

Yes it is weighted or heavier than the cheap store bought heating pads (which are NOT anything like this moist head pad). Two totally different kinds of pads here. This is for deep, penetrating muscle heat on a physical therapy level not just for an ache or pain. The comment about holding onto the switch, that is for your safety because you hold onto the activate switch until you cannot stand it any hotter. You never want to fall asleep with a heat pad that is on. And the other comment about the bag with beads that heats up in the microwave, that is for an ache or pain once in awhile. Not real deep-seeded, disabling pain... Yes it is weighted or heavier than the cheap store bought heating pads (which are NOT anything like this moist head pad).

It is not as heavy as the Wahl trimmer (if you have it). The weight seems to be just there to me since I do not have to put extra pressure on the massager while massaging. I would compare it's weight to the empty ceramic cup.

Yes, it is heavy, that said, I really enjoy the way the pan cooks. I'm 80 and can still manage it with the handle and the opposite side small handle.

This pad will do what you want. As long as it is plugged in it stays on. Only uses 6 watts. It doesn't feel warm when you feel it but when the pet lays on it the heat comes from the weight of the pet laying on it. My cat only weighs 3.5 lbs and when she gets up I can feel the warmth from where she was laying...she loves it!

Hello Christine--I checked the company Sierra Comfort Professional Massage Table and found that the working weight of this table is 500 pounds. I purchased this as a second massage table and was pleasantly surprised by its quality. The padding is comfortable. Realize that a massage table is not a soft, squishy surface. I use a doubled blanket under the bottom sheet. If you prefer a softer surface, try foam roll (flat or egg shell surface) from a fabric store. Also, I use round coasters (hardware store or dollar store) under the table legs. This protects the floor and prevents sliding which can occur on hardwood or linoleum. I hope this helps. I wish you well, Christine. --Linda Friend, LMT, Springfield, IL

No, it is not weighted. I have a small cat and he still manages to knock it all over the place.

It weighs very little. Not as heavy as a traditional blanket or comforter. It is just two thin sheets of the print you see with a liner inside of nylon. No weight or substance. It also does not keep you warm by any means. It is pretty That's All... the inside liner likes to bunch up as it is only held on by each corner ONLY.

I don't think it's heavy but it is durable. I had a different kind and it didnt hold up at all

I returned it. I wouldn't recommend it. If you are looking for a heating pad - go with the original . There is also a "shawl" size heating pad that is nice - its kinda like a blanket.

This heating pad is fairly heavy, so it might not "loosely" wrap around. I actually sleep on mine, because you can adjust the temperatures to the exact temperature that you prefer. Another "plus" is that it is longer than most heating pads.

No it is not too heavy and because the weight is dispersed anyway. Carpet is not a problem. The bottom of the sauna may get somewhat warm but never hot.

It is not heavy it's actually more light to medium. It will keep you warm but not over heat you.

I haven't found it to be too heavy but I only use it to dry my hair, not style it. I bought it for its power and reliability and its been everything I expected.

I'm guesstimating.. It weighs approximately 5 lbs. it's not too heavy / hot at all. In fact I would say it's on the lighter side and if you wanted to add a blanket in the winter you could!

The simplest answer is, if you need this pad, for any weight, you should probably find a different hobby.

Yes it is pretty heavy. The weight will keep your eyes closed. It will also keep them cool to temperatureWill also keep all light out.

The hot plate is not very heavy. Probably around 3-4 lbs. About the same weight as a coil hotplate.
