Pure Enrichment® PureRelief™ XL Heating Pad - LCD Controller with 6 InstaHeat Settings for Cramps, Back, Neck, & Shoulder Pain Relief, Moist Heat Option, Machine Washable, 12 x 24 Storage Bag (Gray)

Simply the best heating pad out there. Fast, even heating and wonderful customer service.

...and I absolutely LOVE it. With a considerable (oh MAN, do I use THAT term lightly!) level of pain after having had a Lumbar Fusion and Laminectomy (L-5/S-1) just over two years ago, it was time for a new heating pad. Id been using a Thermophore 055 (and while there are many, MANY good things to say about that heating pad) this new one was such a great AHHHHHHHHH to come home to! It took me but seconds to whip this bad boy out of the box, throw on the bed and hop right on top. It felt EXACTLY as I had imagined it would and even THEN some! We had just gotten home after a looooong day of leisure, but those of us with spine issues know that even those fun days...especially when they are fully-packed, non-stop...seem to turn to agony pretty quickly. (Thank the LORD for Amazon and their Prime deliveries on Sundays!!! And this time a delivery that was scheduled for Monday actually arrived a day early! How in the WORLD did they know?!) I cranked it up to its highest setting of 6 to get started right away and the warmth started easing up my muscles within minutes. Now that Ive used it several days I found that I love the plush fabric of the cover. Unlike my old Thermophore, its extremely comfortable. And of course, not feeling any wires underneath your body is also a good thing, lol! The controls are large enough to see and very easy to use with a red light on/off indicator. Unlike many other folks who compare the size of the PureRelief to their old pads, this is just a bit smaller than the pad Im used to using. As many others have mentioned, the one downside might be the temp. Thus far for me its definitely been hot enough but to be honest, Ive always warmed it up at 6 (the highest heat setting) and I dont remember ever once feeling the need to lower it. So Im going to question if whether the PureRelief not getting hotter could potentially be a problem in the future. So far my PureRelief is more than perfect, so Im happy to give it a 5-Star rating, but heres the thing. Weve had some pretty fair weather around these parts and I havent put on any warmer clothes yet. Thats leads me to wonder if when I put on layers of thermal, fleece and/or heavier clothing if the heating element will actually BE enough to get through and for me to still experience the pads therapeutic benefits. That remains to be seen, but Im very excited and I have the HIGHEST expectations that the layers of clothing will pose no problem! Before I close I wanted to mention that unlike many of you reviewers, I DO plan to hang onto my old heating pad, my ancient workhorse the Thermophore #055. Its a different kind of heating pad which does have its merits and has served me well. I inherited it from my father-in-law way who passed away in 1998 and Ive been using it exclusively ever since. This one DOES get killer hot (for all of you out there who want a hot, hot, HOT pad!) however for safety purposes you actually need to squeeze the trigger and manually hold it down in order to generate the heat. As long as you hold the lever, the heat just keeps on coming and itll get up to 176 degrees (so Im told). The downside with this one is its pretty much either feast or famine with no constant. Theres no control on it so theres never a consistent temperature at all. Its usually either too hot (while youre holding the lever til you can absolutely stand it no more!), or, its cooling down when you let the button go. Still, theres much to be said. It gets blastin hot and itll attack those muscles for you, drawing moisture right out of the air. (You can get them here on Amazon and I see where they seem to have different models as well. They are made by Battle Creek.) They are a perfect adjunct to...but NOT replacement for...the PureRelief! :) 2/20/18 UPDATE: My PureRelief is still going strong, helping me with back pain relief whenever I need it. Just wanted to add that this wonderful heating pad gets PLENTY hot and then some. Ive been cranking it all the way to 6 and then finding I need to lower it to be comfortable, so getting and keeping it warm enough in the winter is most definitely not a problem! So happy with it! :-)

Love this heating pad mostly for its soft material, especially because I use it mostly for my back. It gets nice and hot and has the option of stay on for 2 hours or indefiently which I really like. The cord is also pretty long which is a nice feature!

I have been using the PureRelief XL Heating Pad for about a month now and my experience has been really good so far. The heating pad is lightweight and warms up quickly. I tested all of the settings and they seem just right--even the highest level. However, sometimes it does feel as if the temperature becomes weaker about 20 minutes into use on the higher settings, but that could just be me. When I first began using it, I did have a strong new/fresh product smell, especially when heated, but it did go away after a while. I appreciate the fact that this heating pad has the option to disable the auto-off function. It gives me the opportunity to keep it turned on when Im using it just to stay warm on a cold day, or have it automatically shut off when I need it while falling asleep. I also really like the storage bag that came with it, which allows me to keep everything neat and put together when Im not using it. The cord is nice and long, which lets me use it just about wherever I want. Overall, I am satisfied with this product

I have been using the heat pad for 3 weeks. Id happy to provide my feedback: I like the material, very soft. The white round controller design is modern and sleek, and easy to use. The pad heats up instantly in a few seconds. The 2 hours shutdown feature is nice so I wont worry about forgetting turn it off. I used the pad on my neck, shoulders, back, abdomen, it felt so good and pain is reduced. I haven’t tried wash it but it is def attractive feature. So far all things work well, overall good quality and I am satisfied.

When I had an issue with an older heating pad I dug back in my purchase info and found a Customer Service e-mail and I wrote to them about my problem, assuming the message was going in burn basket in the Far East. But no, they replied multiple times within 48 hours. When we came to dead end, they went above and beyond and replaced my product. Thats the way to build a brand. Cheers, Al

I just received my heating pad and so far I love it! My boyfriend even took it for use and commented I need to get him one ㅤᵕ̈ I do wish it would be a tad bit warmer. But maybe with time?

I am extremely satisfied with this product! Does exactly what it says it would and it is the perfect size. Heats up quickly and has a wide range allowing for the perfect recovery. Amazing product.

After purchasing and trialing many different types and brands of heating pads, I am the most satisfied with this product. I am pleased with how hot the pad gets, and how you can adjust the level of heat to personal preference. I like the material of the pad, as it is soft and comfortable. It is large in surface area -another benefit- and has a warm, neutral color tone. I like the added benefit of it shutting off after a certain amount of time, as I often fall asleep with it on. I am thoroughly enjoying this heating pad and use it many times weekly.

I like the Pure Enrichment Purerelief XL Heating Pad because it is large enough to cover the affected area and flexible enough to mold to my back and leg. I havent washed it yet but appreciate the fact that it is machine washable. The physical therapists use moist heat to treat my problems, so I am grateful that I can use that option at home as well.
