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 heavy feeling. My husband claimed it was light. But it is also warm and snuggly. Hope this helps out.

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

I never noticed the weight as heavy or light. I use it for a good 10 minutes and my arms don't feel tired.

I found this pad quite comfortable and helpful. I use it in a sitting position so I don't put my full weight on it, however. Good luck.

Hi Julie B: The hamper is sturdy. As for 'heavy'. Not really. It has a solid top and solid bottom. It has supportive side bars, inside, top to bottom, at each of its four corners. The top is padded, and has a slight cushion feel to it. With a good two hand grip, on each side, one can move it. Round felt pads were put on the four nylon feet to add to its slide ability on hard surface floors. But, it isn't a lightweight. It is substantive. It was found to be a good product that will last. Hope this helps. Safety Guy.

It does not feel heavy to me. But if you want to feel more secure about it and if you have a scale at home, put 5 1/2 pounds of books or a binder or similar object on the scale and once you have approximated the weight, try it on your lap and see how it feels. That might help you decide. Good luck.

No it is not heavy. It is very easy to move around. The only thing I have a problem with is that the utility hose is very short. When I use it I usually knock over the main part of the vacuum. Very good suction.

I got mine last fall and have never had any trouble with it. It is a wonderful heating pad.

No. It is not weighted but this is a fairly heavy gauge vinyl. I have had no issues with it moving or blowing back in like some lightweight ones do. I love this curtain. The half color, half clear really opens up the room.

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

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

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.

I'm not sure what constitutes "heavy..." It seems the same weight as any other pots and pans I've used; the same as my old T-Fal teflon pots and pans. I can tell you that when I'm filling up the larger saucepan with water, it does become heavy and difficult to hold because of the shape and size of the handle. My old T-Fals had straight and thick handles, these are thinner and curved. I also find I have to use a potholder (for cushioning) and two hands when I want to use a strainer to dump water out of my pasta. This could also be because the saucepan holds more water than my old ones used to. If you're asking if they're flimsy... no, they are nice and sturdy. Hope that was some help, at least.

No it is not heavy, but this pan has a major defect. It shatters at higher temperatures, which is strange because that is what we purchased it for. We cooked a roast at 375 degrees for a few minutes and it broke to pieces in our oven (we saved the roast). I returned the pieces and got my money back.

I'm not really sure, heavier than a regular iron, but I like it that way, it does more of the work for you, but it's not too heavy, I can still use it upright to steam hanging garments. I love it, I will never buy another regular iron again!

As blankets go, it's definitely the heaviest I've experienced. Way heavier than a down comforter or any kind of comforter. However I love the weight. It feels great and the size of it... texture... look... best online purchase I've made! But yes, it is quite heavy.
