Beurer HK Comfort Heat Pad, Flexible Warming Electric Heating Pad with Super-Soft Surface, Controllable Warmth with 3 Temperature Settings, Machine-Washable, Automatic Switch-off, 100 watts, 44x33cm

Great product, nice and small. I use this to warm up my daughters next to me before I put her in it, really helps her settle down after a feed too, rather than being put down Into a cold bed. My older daughter likes it too, as it keeps her warm getting to sleep and shuts off. Great product and very soft. I think I'll have to but another at this rate 😅

Think small version of a electric blanket (about the size of a lap try) and you are not far from wrong. Husband thought that when he first saw it, as a tiny electric blanket for leprechauns. I do sometimes wonder who I live with..... Whatever he thought if it made my OA feel any better is was worth trying, easy to plug it into the pad and a longish cord (could have done with it being a little longer) but no real issue. Only thing is I can not leave it plugged into the wall socket and just switch the pad to on when wanting to use it so have to bend down and plug it in, annoying when the back flares up but then again it can be moved and used any where there is a plug, so chairs are made more comfortable with this behind your back relaxing any muscle aches or muscle spasms. It does feel nice and soothing on the back, knees and shoulders have tried it on most areas when having a bad flare up and it does not take away the pain if only but helps if only for the soothing effect. Most people will tell you that if in pain you will try virtually anything if you think that it might help if only someway. For me this did and still is, using it when having a read or a sit down when the aches start think the real benefit will be come the winter months when you tend to hunch yourself up more and then feel the muscle spasms more so. Will update in a few months time to say how it is faring. It heats up so quickly and the control switch lights up so you can see even in the dark if on and what setting. After ninety mins it switches itself off, a good job incase you fall asleep with it on. I very nearly fell asleep with it on my knees, only for husband to wake me up and tell me it was still on, yes, he did not know it goes off after ninety mins as a safety cut out method. So pleased with the heating pad but not pleased with other half. So nice and comforting, no messy hot water bottle tops to mess with (fiddly at times especially if suffering from OA in hands). No back and fro to the microwave to heat up a pack for not that long time. Well nothing as long as the heat this seems to keep and can be just warmed up again when needed at a switch of a button. It feels soft and no bulky or anything heavy on it the heaviest part is the control switch and even that no too heavy. Could do with an all over body one come the winter months.

great product ,easy to set up and use. super quick delivery.

UPDATE: I jinxed myself 😅 I have revised this to one star because as much as these are perfect when they work, they break so easily. I've had about 5 and I'm down to one, a replacement sent by the company. Even following all the instructions, they inexplicably die and it's such a waste of money for materials. I hope I can find another model that can actually survive without permanently breaking. PREVIOUS REVIEW: I have chronic pain from several different conditions and have been using hot water bottles for many years. Unfortunately the newer ones seem to wear out and burst very easily, so I thought I would try one of these instead. I've been using it for a few weeks now and have found it really brilliant and soothing. No more making hot water bottles (or getting soaked!) - you just switch it on and it heats up super quickly. I sleep much better and it's so great to be able to switch it back on if I wake up in the night feeling cold or in pain. I hope this lasts a long time because it is my new favourite thing!

I was initially disappointed. Only lukewarm on the highest setting when over my knee. But it does get warm and is comforting when I am lying on it but it does nothing when it is over/on top of me. After several hours of use, my back feels better and nicely warm. No good when placed over my knee. It is soft to the touch and feels quality.

I've had two of these Beuer heat pads - the full back and neck, and the lumbar only versions - for several years.The most used (and the most abused), the lumbar pad, recently gave out; I thought it was the controller, but it turned out to be the pad itself, which promptly kyboshed the other controller (they are interchangeable) when I switched it over. So I've just bought this. Mixed in amongst the high praise for the many different versions of this product are a good few condemnatory reviews; not enough heat, soon failed, etc.; but a few things need to be borne in mind when deploying them. First off, even with quality-controlled, automated mass-production processes, no manufacturer that I've come across produces 100% perfect products year after year; if you get a duff one from a major firm such as this, instead of wingeing about it in a review, you should demand a replacement or your money back. Amazon makes this pretty easy (although their system isn't 100% perfect, either). It's worth noting that Beuer offers three year guarantees. The PERCEIVED heat emission from these products varies enormously for more than one reason. For example, if you're pretty old (like me) the heat from these pads won't feel as strong as it does for a twenty-something. (Older people can easily suffer burns unknowingly from, for example, hot water bottles, because of age-related sensory degeneration. Secondly, much depends on whether you apply the heat to bare skin or through clothing, and if the latter, what kind of clothing and how many layers. Thirdly, the greatest effect comes from firm, tight, overall contact, whether against skin or through a garment. A loose contact will have you barely feeling the heat at maximum. Fourthly, the absolute maximum effect is achieved if the heat pad is trapped between you and, say, a mattress or the back of a chair - which Beuer used to warn you not to do, but which I always did anyway for best effect. However, they don't seem to mention this any more, so I suppose it was always OK. Life without these aids at this age would be bordering on the intolerable, notwithstanding the availability of gel packs, hot water bottles and wheat packs - none of which can offer anything like the sustained, steady output of an electric pad, which can lull you to sleep in complete safety over an hour or more. I've also just ordered the newest version, apparently a heated cushion, from Germany for almost £55. From a parsimonious one such as I, there can be no higher praise

Love it , I use it when I get a migraine , it safe , good output of heat without burning

I love this heat pad. It gets really hot. Giving 3 star because it lasted a year only.
