Is the massage hard or soft? Can you lay down on the massage pad, on a couch or bed?

The knobs are hard rubber or plastic?? If you put padding of some kind...thickness to your preference it could work. I found with just my shirt on and sitting in the lounge chair it was way too hard on my back. Perhaps a folded blanked to different layers could bring down the intensity. A light jacket while sitting in the chair or lying down might work as well.

Both my husband and I feel the pad is firm but very comfortable on the spine and muscles. We are experiencing much better and longer sleep. Hope that is helpful.

You can feel something hard massaging your back, but it doesn't hurt. I mean obviously you would know that there would have to be some type of hard item to do the massaging. You can set it for as low and high for massaging, it is mean to please everyone since we all feel things differently when touched.

I cant comment on your numbers for most others or my own pad, but I know its working for me. The mattress I replaced with the memory foam king was a plush, so Im more inclined towards soft than you. My new mattress was too soft, and this helped a lot.

no. no. you must be lying down on top of the unit. your weight is required for the desired effect. you may need to pad the rotating massage gears with towels if it is to strong.

Nice... comfortably thick. You can lay on it for an hour and feel great... Hopefully while getting a massage! Feels same as at spa.

It rolls on a hard wooden floor, but I use it on a mat - which is easier for control. It also gives some pressure release. If you have not used one before, I recommend the blue one that is medium hardness. The black one is very hard with no cushioning to the ridges. The blue one is like a very deep trigger-point massage.

It works great on a chair. I have not tried it on the couch. I believe that it would be good on the couch because it would be possible to position it to massage some places that are not massaged when on I use it in a chair (such as my neck or lower to include my buttocks).

Possibly could be used on massage therapy table if it is large enough, I would think it would be easier on the floor though. I just spray mine down with disinfectant and the heat pad cover can be removed as needed and put through the clothes washer. Great product for the price! Good luck!

Nope, it's pretty firm. If you want a smaller one, get the smaller size and pad where needed.

It is hard. It is used by my mother in law (86) once in a while when the muscles pain increases. It is not soft

I actually purchased mine because of the reviews relating to the softness. Mine; however is incredibly firm. We cannot sleep on it. Moved it to the guest room and the guests complain that it is too firm. Our personal experience is that it caused more pain, mostly in the hips.

If your bottom muscles are sore, I'm sure you could. I have a very bad back and my last heating pad died, so I bought this one and it's great! It even works for my neck area, although it's harder to use the massage because there are areas of the pad that stick out and it can get noisy like that. ;)

If you roll on it on your back it will massage along you spine, yes. You can also lay on your stomach and have someone roll it along your spine.

Dear Sonia, I guess no one has told you, but the pad is only meant to lay on. I have one and I put it under my body when I'm in bed, whatever part I want to stop hurting and it works very well for me. there are other types meant to stay on parts of the body like the elbow, ankle, knee or the neck. You can put the pad in your bed or chair with the foam side down, try that. BUUUUT,if you jes wanna git creative you can sew it into a T shirt and wear all the time jes make sure the mags face you. Or now that I'm thinkin' abt it, for my shoulder sometimes I'd jes get some decently strong mags and put them on a strip of the clear medical tape n tape it to cover the area of concern but only for like two days per time, that works too.

I think it is more of a massage table length...If you were to get two it would probably work. And I do not recommend sleeping on it, the warning label says do not sleep on the pad. I use it on my massage table. I hope this was helpful, if you have any questions please ask me.
