Sunbeam Contoured Heating Pad for Neck & Shoulder Pain Relief with Auto Shut Off Moist Heating Option 22 x 19 Grey

I love this stupid thing. I originally got it for my neck and shoulders and while it does work superbly for that purpose, I end up using it more for cramps and my back pain. There’s something about the length and curve or it that is perfect for just hitting my abdomen for cramps or my lower back. It also works well for my side (sliding rib syndrome) where I can wrap it on my right side to cover my QL all the way to my abs and the weight of the ends holds it in place on my front pretty well when reclined. Basically, this is my go-to for all body heating needs bc of its small frame and versatility. I’ve had it for 2 years now and it is still equally warm (no dead spots) and I can still only use it up to level 2 out of 4 before it becomes too hot so it’s going to last me a lot longer than the 2 years I’ve had it. Definitely one of those purchases where if something happened to it, I would repurchase immediately.

I rarely give 5 stars but this is an above-the-average product for its class. I love how soft it is, the multi-function heat settings work perfectly and I've used this heating pad for about two years now. It's 100% reliable and you can use this heating pad on various places on the body. I just had abdominal surgery and was able to drape it over my abdomen very comfortably. This pad is very durable, has auto shut-off and cleans easily with a washrag. Simply put, this is an excellent product that I highly recommend.

12/22/25: I will say one thing about this neck and shoulder heating pad. It has lasted. I have used it off and on since I purchased it in 2023. Lost it and found it again several times over. It gets around my home and then when I find it, like today, I use it and I'm so thankful for it once again. I'm not easy on heating pads and I have had several that I have no idea where they are because they were bulky or hard to use. This one sits on shoulders and warms my neck immediately. No pain today but the weather is cold and so am I. Bumping up my rating from 2 stars to 4 because of longevity despite not taking care of it and because it always just works. Bought direct from Amazon, like I always do, and once again I was not disappointed with my purchase. 08/16/23: I wish I had listened to the reviewers who talked about this heating pad being uncomfortable to use. It's a torture heating pad. I have the previous gen and it's snuggly and comfortable to use on your shoulders or any other part you want to put heat to because it's not so structured and rigid as this one. It also doesn't heat evenly and all the way to the edges like mine. I wanted one for my living room and one for my bedroom. But this one will not be the one for my living room. I'll keep looking.

Works really well. I love that It's weighted and the fabric is really soft and comforting like a warm hug. I looks well made and durable but time will tell on that. The heat is good, I've been using it very frequently due to a recurring rotator cup issue and it has been a lifesaver. I recommend this product.

Ugly. A bit clunky. Works well. Some of the complaints people have other reviews are valid, like the heating part doesn’t spread out as far as you would hope, but it is good at heating me upper back neck area not as good at heating the shoulders. Still, this has really helped with a pinch neck nerve and I’m glad I have it

I have barely owned this thing for an hour and let me tell you...I can already tell this will hopefully solve so many of the issues I've been having. I deal with constant tension headaches and its extended into my shoulders and arms. I work a desk job, and so muscle tightness, ergonomics and posture is a constant battle. I've bought a handful of different heating pads with very marginal success for this. Even if I buy a big rectangular pad, it will not stay on me. It's more frustrating than anything else. I've been trying to find a solution that is similar enough to the heated pads that my physical therapist would put on me before my stretches. This though? It's slightly weighted with beads, so it keeps the heat against you. It contoured to the neck, so it wraps around comfortably and has a rigid structure in it to keep its shape. Though I wouldn't make a habit of constantly resting all of my weight against it just for the longevity of the product, it is one step short of those airplane pillows so its very comfortable. And its got a magnet in the front to keep it locked in place. I'm not sure how long that magnet will last being exposed to heat, I'm a little surprised its not velcro or something similar. But even if such a thing happens, it should be an easy fix. I am on the lowest setting and its very, very warm. I've had bad luck with heating pads stopping working, where they will eventually only heat in one spot because they are built and manufactured cheaply. I always have a huge worry with these things starting fires. Sunbeam's reputation I hope will make this a much longer lasting product. For my sake, I really hope this lasts because so far, it seems money very well spent. Time will tell.

As a cervical fusion patient I cannot tolerate a lot of things on my neck. I've been looking for a neck heating pad to help with the pain. I bought this because a reviewer said it went up high on the back of the neck which it does. However, there are 2 problems with it. First, there is a thick moldable bar between the neck and shoulder part. It's about the size of a Tootsie roll and runs across the width of the pad. It's moldable I assume so you can adjust it to how you want it around your neck. BUT, it makes it painful to lean against and forget using it in bed. The second is I couldn't discern any direct heat in the neck portion, it seemed to be referred at best. There is plenty of heat but turning it up to try to get heat into the neck makes the rest too hot. I had to return it.

Nice item, works really well and comfortable.
