Sunbeam XL Renue Contoured Heating Pad, 25" x 25", For Neck & Shoulder Pain Relief with Auto Shut Off, Moist Heating Option, Machine-Washable, Gifts For Mom & Wife, Lakeshore Blue

This pad seems to be really well made. The fabric and weight are nice. This was ordered for a larger, older man, with broad shoulders. I was concerned about it being big enough and it is perfect.

Not only does this warm me up it relaxes my neck muscles and my shoulder muscles and my back all the way up into my head. It does exactly what it says it does. There's a magnet in the front to snap it together. I would suggest you buy one especially if you have a lot of tension in your neck shoulders and back. Strain muscles pulled muscles it works. A great value for the money also has auto shut off so you don't have to worry about going to sleep and it's staying on. The size fits perfectly around my shoulders and it's very easy to use.

Wonderful for the back and neck

I ended up purchasing this heating pad after I ordered another one that didn't get warm or stay warm. This one, however, doesn't have that problem. The low or medium setting is plenty warm for me, and it stays that temperature until either I shut it off or the auto-shutoff kicks in. I also love the shape. The previous heating pad was just a rectangle. It was hard to arrange on my neck and shoulders, which is where I need the heat to relieve my painful muscle spasm. This one drapes comfortably over my shoulders, and like another review said, I want to be clear that the bit that comes up the back of your neck *does* have heating elements in it. It also drapes far enough down my back (I'm a male, about 5'11") that I get benefit for my shoulder blades, too. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5: The part that comes up your neck doesn't wrap around your neck to get the sides, and the bit in the front doesn't clasp as snugly as I would like. There is a magnet in the two sides that holds them together and holds it on you. This is a clever design. BUT, it only goes around like you see in the picture -- it falls somewhat far away from my neck, and there's a patch in the front (like a v-neck shirt) above where the magnets hold it together. To make it ideal, there would be a way to hold it together much more snugly around my neck, so it would get the sides too. I tried clipping it together in the front so that the front pieces cross over each other with a clothespin, but the edge of the pad is too thick for the clothespin to fit over. Same with a binder clip... too thick and it can't get around the padding on the edge. I'm going to keep looking for something around the house that can hold it together a bit better so that the sides of my neck get the warmth from the pad, too. But overall I'm satisfied and I'll be using this pad. It's a bit more expensive that a bunch of other pads on Amazon, but it works much better in terms of heating than them (even better than the highest rated pads), and the design is clever, to target neck, shoulders, and upper back.

I purchased this in March 2019. It's April 2025 and I'm just now having to replace it. I've used it daily, sometimes multiple times per day. I'm replacing it because it seems there is a short in the cord/wiring by the control switch which will cause it to turn off if the cord/controller is even slightly twisted (which is a good thing for safety!) It actually still heats up great, but for safety reasons, and not wanting to constantly have to unplug it to reset, I'm ordering another one. I looked at several other cheaper ones and this one still seems to be the best for this price point and size. FYI: For people complaining about the price increase, I paid $44.99 + tax in Mar 2019. It's literally only a few dollars more right now. Even if it was $10 more I would still be buying another one. The link below is to another review for this product from someone else. They worded it great and I very much agree with it. It's more detailed than mine.

This is a really good product wish I'd seen it years ago.

Buen tamaño y calienta muy bien, material suave

This is nice that it heats up fast the only downfall is that it’s too stiff and uncomfortable around the neck, the last beige and brown one I bought a few years was much better. And more comfortable, I really liked it better, needs improvement or go back too the beige and brown one from a few years ago. This is the only reason I gave it a 3 star other then that I do love my Sunbean.

Muy buena calidad. El control y cable son un poco incómodos pero todo manejable
