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).

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.

I had thought about a heating pad too - maybe on a low setting. There is a nice thick fluffy cushion inside that you can take out to wash. The underneath is not plastic - I'm not sure what it is. It looks like fabric but feels kind of paper-y. Just buy it and return if you don't like it. For $20 it's a pretty good deal.

Not overly heavy, but it is a lot of material that will keep you very warm. I personally love mine.

No - not light weight and not heavy - the weight helps with the pressure in the needed area

Its very light, I don't think it even weights a pound. Breathability comes a much from the sheet and duvet cover; both of mine are 100% cotton.

Of course you can lean against it. it is so comfortable and soft. Hard to believe it is a heating pad. The one side is very plush. Doesn't bunch up like most plastic heating pads with a cover.

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.

I am disabled and I had some workers from my assisted living facility install it for me. I have it on a small table and I have adjusted it for space. I don't think that it is very heavy

Yes. I have another heating pad that does the same thing. I don't believe it is anything to worry about.

no, not heavy at all. i actually don't use this one anywhere because it randomly stopped working but i can't say 100% that it wasn't because of something i did.

Not due to heater, but I have to say that the material made me hot. I put it on the bed this year without plugging it in because the plushness of the pad feels so nice, but I woke up with whatever side was making contact with the bed all sweaty. This happened every night for a week before I took it off and then I didn't sweat anymore. It is really plush and nice, but I guess it doesn't breathe very well. Everyone is different though, and this is just my experience. It might be fine for you.

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.

Yes it is heavy, don't know the thickness. It does what it is designed to do. Works great glad I purchased it, no regrets.

I have a babyliss pro hairdryer which weighs 2.3 lbs and it kills my wrist. Im looking for something lighter and this one caught my eye, but I was bummed to see it weighs 2.2 lbs. So its going to be heavy. I round brush blowdry which my be the reason it strains my wrist so much but if you just quick dry your hair it might not be so bad

Seems great to me. This is the best heating pad i have ever had. It has lasted through several years of almost daily use! I had a very expensive one the died on me twice in a row in a few months. The cords are stiff on cheaper models. Not this one.

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.
