on chilly nights my shoulders and neck hurt (arthritis issues) would this work up at the top of the bed to keep on all night?

There are two temperatures settings. The person who said it was too hot may have been using High rather than low. I would be careful about where you place the cord to avoid tripping but yes, it should work.

I imagine it would. We put ours on a timer set for an hour and a half before bed then a couple hrs. after. Works great.

Yes, I think you could use it at the top of your bed as you could always turn it off if you were getting too warm. I don't like an electric blanket as it is too warm for me. I was very pleased with the smaller bed warmer to help keep my feet warm. I also have arthritis issues in my shoulders and plan to have total shoulder replacement surgery on the 21st of this month. It was suggested that you could place it behind your shoulders while sitting in a recliner, but I didn't try that method. It is a very nice heating pad that can be used for many other purposes.

I found it got too hot for comfort no adjustment settings just on and off and husband tripped on cord coming from the bottom of the bed and almost got hurt.

I have had no problems using it to prop up my upper back and shoulders while sleeping. It has held its shape and firmness quite well.

If you wear it at night consistently it will help. But I recommend wearing socks with them because if not tossing and turning will cause it to move, shift and eventually come off.

I'm not a Dr. but I've used this device all over my back area with great results. So long as you can lay it flat and not on a curved area like the top of the shoulder it should work fine. Remember to use lower levels of intenstiy and work up not the other way around because this is electricity, hope this helps, Paul.

No idea about the neck and shoulder pain, but I usually throw an arm and one leg over it on the nights I use it.

I have, but it's kind of heavy for me. I'll usually lay in bed, position it on my lower back and press against the bed. It works much better when you have help.

Nope, I've slept with it on many times. However, it depends on your normal sleeping position. Readjust it at night and loosen it up a bit and it actually helps you keep a good back posture as you sleep.

I believe this would provide support but it could be dangerous to wear something like this while sleeping. I would definitely consult with a doctor first.

My opinion - no. It protrudes to much in front to be comfortable especially if you rolled over. Definitely a before bed thing. That being said, you can use it doing almost anything else before bed.

Yes. But you'll need to extend to longest setting. Additional linger ties from under bed strap to wrists or ankles can probably be rigged for more flexibility.

Possibly. I had rotator cuff surgery and it gave me limited success in being able to lay on that side for short periods.

Yes. I absolutely LOVE this pillow. It's actually my shoulder that I use it on mostly, but it is so flexible in moving it to the area that needs it most. I actually bought a second one so I'd always have one available -- I keep them in the freezer, but they are still soft and pliable, cold, but not TOO cold to stand.

I have a Tempurpedic adjustable bed. What I had to do was extend it as long as possible and then prop it up on a 2x4 on the floor. I hooked it through the metal piece at the bottom of the bed that holds the mattress on. Putting it on the 2x4 made it high enough to hold the blanket off my feet. The other possible sizes were either too short because of the thickness of the mattress or too tall. I don't use it anymore, but it sure was helpful at the time of my sprained ankle.

If your back problem requires you to keep your legs elevated then I think this pillow would work for you. My wife has lower back issues and this pillow allows her to sleep at night. She use to use a recliner as a bed until we got this pillow. She loves it and I have my wife back. Hope it works for you.

Absolutely. My husband rarely has his side on but mine is on low all night and it's more than warm enough even for me who is always cold.

No, Pillows always worked best for me. I have had both shoulders repaired, this would be too high for my shoulder.

No. Not all night, but half the night. I did find that by leaning against it to watch tv the pillow absorbs some body heat. Now I use another pillow for tv and save this pillow for sleeping.
