far infrared pads don't feel hot till you lay on them I have heard. I this correct?

That is not true. It does take awhile to warm up. I have this infrared pad and love it. It has helped when I had back pain and leg pain as well. Worth the money.

I have the Shield life TheraPad XL and TheraPad Lite. Both feel warm after they warm up. That takes awhile. That is probably why your were told that they don't feel warm until you get on them. They get pretty hot so don't turn them/it up too much just a hint of warmth is all I need and I could stay on it for a long time.

Hi Linda. I have a large infrared pad and one that covers my entire bed top. They are wonderful. No, they don

I do feel wires, but I don't find them uncomortable - my mattress pad sits on top of a feather bed which sits on top of a pillow-top matterss, so that could be why. The mattress pad isn't programmable - it will stay on for ten hours at whatever temperature you set it.

No, I do not feel hotter but a little warmer. It gives a softer feel when sleeping.

I really can't feel the wires at all. And, instead of hot vs cold zones, it's more like hot vs really hot zones, but that's usually if you have something like a pillow or folded blanket on top. I've had numerous heating pads like this, and this one is the best by far. I highly recommend it!!

They are not as hot as many pillow top mattresses Ive slept on, but I wouldn't say they are cool. For me, they are less hot than 95% of mattresses I've ever slept on.

Our mattress pad seems to stay cool, it does not add heat like some mattresses add heat. Even my husband was impressed with the cooler temperature difference and he definitely doubted it would produce results for a better sleeping experience.

I wish my memory was as good as yours. I felt for continuing use that the medium setting was fine. I thought the High setting was OK when you first put it on, but that it did get quite warm. Of course this is subjective, my hot might be your medium, but for the price I think it is an all around good pad.

I have not heard of that concern. I think you will feel a little buzzing sensation. Try more cream or less power and see if that helps. You can change position's of the pads as well.

Yes! Since My purchase and the problems I had with my unit and customer service, I found out that the unit is actually NOT infrared at all! It's no better than a heating pad! This company didn't follow thru with promises made to me either. I do NOT recommend anyone deal with this company.

I don't think so....but, the time it is warm feels really good. The only pads I have ever found to last a longer period of time are the electric ones.

Never having seen or used the larger pad, I can't say for sure but this unit certainly delivers the effect I was looking for in a far Infrared heating Pad...........the heat is gradual and penetrative.

I to was concerned about being to hot on a foam mattress. I am post menopausal and hot on any bed, however the foam is not any different then my regular bed for heat. I purchased a nice think mattress pad maybe that's helping.

Yea the pad is hot to touch when plugged in. Works great for heating thick oil in cold climates.

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.

Yes. Turn the mattress pad on about 20 mins. to 30 mins. before you wish to settle in, you can adjust the heat as suits you - works like a charm!

I don't know that it's any cooler, but neither is it hotter. If you have your room temperature set to a cool, comfortable temperature (I like to keep mine about 66 at night, year-round), you should do just fine. I know that many of the foam mattresses/toppers tend to retain heat. I don't believe this one does - at least not to any noticeable extent. On the flipside though, it doesn't seem to dissipate heat any better than you'd find sleeping on a standard mattress. BOTTOM LINE: Temperature-wise, I'd say it's neutral. The benefit comes in the better sleeping surface that contours to your body - a good benefit for the fraction of the cost of a full foam mattress.

I do not have an issue with this item holding in heat. It is very comfortable to sleep on. This purchase will definitely not be a waste of money. You can read all the reviews but until you experience this mattress pad for yourself only then will you understand what the rave reviews are about.
