Thermotex Infrared Heating Pad - 15 x 16" - TTS Gold

Bought this for a hip problem or any future issues. Researched the infrared feature and apparently it is better for healing so I was willing to pay extra for something more effective. It works well and so far it has been helping. Although one side is padded, this is not the heat side. The heated side is mounted against a hard board, presumably to facilitate more efficient heat transfer to affected areas. For someone with hip problems, sitting on a hard piece of wood is not ideal. I can tell that leaning against it for back problems or maybe lying on your side with the heating pad between you and a sofa would also work but unlike conventional heating pads which are flexible and can be wrapped around an area, this is not flexible.

Got it and love it thanks

It is hard as a rock on the side you’re supposed to lean on so very uncomfortable if you have a bad back! Plus it doesn’t really do much!

I've loved this brand since I started using it over 10 years ago. When I needed to get one for my grandma, there was zero questions asked except one... WHERE am I getting my next thermotex pad? There wasn't even a wonder if we were going to shop elsewhere; it was an absolute no brainer that we were getting a thermatex for managing pain and circulation. My favorite use of these pads is having them on my feet and ice on my neck when I catch a migraine early; helps me manipulate blood flow into my feet and away from my throbbing skull. Everyone needs a thermatex. Period.

I like the heat, gets plenty hot enough for me. There is a hard board inside that's not removable... fine for flat areas, but you can't wrap the pad around any bodyparts, as some poeple may want to do.
