HL HEALTHYLINE - Far Infrared Heating Pad - 32inL x 20inW - Hot Stone Therapy - Negative Ions - 50 2in Pieces Natural Gemstones

I had been thinking of purchasing an infrared heating pad for a while after laying on one and reading about all of the benefits. I didnt want to spend hundreds of dollars though like the mat I had laid on. My research lead me to find the Healthyline model. I decided to get the Jade and Tourmaline one that was big enough to cover neck to hips. Healthyline seemed to have more EMF protection and I really liked that. I finally ordered it and it arrived timely in a nice box. It even came with a removable cover and a carrying case. I was impressed by the warranty and the lifetime upgrade availability as well. My husband had strained his back and as soon as i plugged it in he was on it. Then my cat had a turn....I finally got to try it and it is so great! The heat penetrates deeply into the tissues without feeling too hot. It induces deep relaxation also. The trickiest thing is that the degrees are in the Celsius format. That takes some getting used to. Otherwise I love love love it! Also I like that it has a timer and will only turn on with the timer selected. No worrying about forgetting to turn it off! I am a massage/bodywork therapist and bought this for work to replace my old table warmer. While this only covers about half of the table it is a thousand times better!. All of my clients love it, some have even purchased their own since trying it. Due to the placement of the plug and it not being as wide as the table I have had to play around with the placement so they dont feel the plug underneath them. I have used it underneath with a fleece cover over it and have used it over top of the sheets like a blanket. It works great to soften tissue and fascia making my work much more effective.

Bought this a few years back and while I couldn’t care less about the “woo” aspects and suspect I would’ve been just as happy with the thermal properties of plain quartz as with jade/tourmaline, this thing is absolutely amazing when I’m cold and in pain. The mesh holding the stones is smooth and unnoticeable and the stones themselves are smooth, flat and get oh so warm. Only downsides to it are it’s heavy (hard to avoid when it’s literally a mat full of rocks) and the controller screen is kinda crap (still works though!). I’m on the tall side (5’10) and it’ll give me heat from the top of my neck down to my toes so it’s actually long enough too. I don’t regret using my FSA on this whatsoever.

We bought our first HL Healthyline Hot Stone Therapy pad (with negative ion and far infrared therapies) on the advice of a friend who had used his daughter's with such success he purchased one of his own through Amazon. I researched all HL Healthyline products on Amazon and on HL Healthyline's website before purchasing. Both websites provide good information, but I really depend on the reviews of a product on Amazon (thank you reviewers!). HL Healthyline's website provided more information, really drilling down to the differences between all the therapy pads offered by Healthyline. In the end, we purchased two of the HL Healthyline 32inch X 20inch hot stone therapy pads, one for me and one for my husband and one of the fully loaded HL Healthyline chair sized pads with photon red light therapy and PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field), with all three stones: Amethyst, Tourmaline & Jade, for my Reiki table and to use while sitting at the computer for long periods of work. However, back to my review of these little tourmaline and jade pads. They are so portable and easy to use, they are the ones we have on the bed, and take with us on our travels. Great for easing body tension, soothing muscles and ultimately relaxing the mind; we typically use them on the bed before sleeping or if really sore physically, overnight. At first it doesn't seem like it would be comfortable, but the tension release happens and my body just melts, fully relaxing to the point I've actually slept soundly throughout the night. Make no mistake, due to the heat setting options, you can break a sweat with these little pads. I do increase my water intake when using the pad, as the manufacturer recommends, especially if using overnight I make sure to drink water before bed and to have a large glass of water beside the bed. My husband has used his pad over his thighs, draped over a sore shoulder and as a mat for his aching feet-always very effective for pain relief. But what I've also noticed is the calming effect; whether sitting on it during a meditation, or for any length of time during the day, afterwards I'm calmer, more centered, and any anxiety I may have been experiencing is released. I refer to it as my "Zen Zone." What is delivered (and at this price point-an outstanding deal) is soothing pain relief, a calming and quieting of the mind, where body and mind are able to release anxiety, tension and pain. Temporary, because any underlying issues must be addressed, but sometimes just getting to the space inbetween, where one can breath and relax, is what is needed. We highly recommend these Hot Stone Therapy/Far Infrared/Negative Ion heating pads.

I was very impressed by how nicely the product was presented, packaged and the extras like the mylar heating blanket and the cover. It was so nicely packaged, the Amazon box, then a grey plastic cover, then another box, and everything inside, so beautifully put together. User manuals and a great warranty. When used on the feet, it feels like you have your feet by a nice warm fireplace, it's not heavy and works very well. The heat is amazing and it seems well made. It seems like a very responsible company. BUT, I don't understand why they describe this mat as 31" x 20", the border is 4" by 3 1/2" making the heating part of the mat only 23" x 13". I didn't realize until I tried to use it on the front of my body and put it up to my chest, that's when I realized the cold eurothane border didn't heat up and to use on your front, you've got this 4 inches of cold plastic that you have to hold away from your face with your hands. So you can't sleep with it over your body if you are trying to heat up your chest and shoulders. It isn't as wide as your back either. The stated measurements would completely cover your entire body, both length and width with warm stones. Why do they design these with this large cold unuseable border around it that actually makes the mat cumbersome? I researched these for days until I made the decision to purchase this size based on the fact that it would have covered my entire body from the neck right to the top of the legs. Also find that there are a couple of the stones that don't heat up, one in particular that is the furthest corner away from the controller is cold. Temperature gets up to 67C according to the controller, the center of the mat gets very hot and the rest of the mat is cooler as it gets to the outer edges, the corners at the further end having almost no heat at all. I don't know if this is the norm for these. This is a well made product with a well intending company, but they should advertise it as a much smaller useable area, and make the border smaller as it makes it somewhat cumbersome. UPDATE; I have recommended this to several people including the doctors at a pain clinic. It does work, it's not just a "heating pad". It does help sore or tight muscles, tendons and arthritis. UPDATE; September 2022; I have used this mat almost every night since I bought it. I sleep on this mat covered with a towel, every night. The mat is almost three years old. It's just part of my bed now. The only part I don't like is what I mentioned in the beginning; the thick plastic border. But three years....

If I could give it a 10, I would. We have had it now for six years. My husband is in advanced kidney failure caused by medical ERROR 10 years ago. He is on hospice normally with kidney failure. You have tremendous pain across your lower back. He uses this mat 3 to 4 to 5 times per day. No pain meds needed. I think it is breaking all records in the Hospice longevity line. Is there any medical reasons why a stone mat should give longevity who knows. I just know that it is keeping him alive without pain.
