![[5 Year Warranty] WOOMER Electric Heating Pad for Back Pain & Cramps Relief, 33"x17" Extra Large, Heat Pad with Multi-Color Option, Moist Heat Therapy Feature, Auto Shut-Off, Power Cords Storage Belt](https://cdn.statically.io/img/m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71O2g6Wh0RL._SS100_.jpg)
...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. I'd 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 I've used it several days I found that I love the plush fabric of the cover. Unlike my old Thermophore, it's 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 I'm used to using.
As many others have mentioned, the one downside might be the temp. Thus far for me it's definitely been hot enough but to be honest, I've always warmed it up at "6" (the highest heat setting) and I don't remember ever once feeling the need to lower it. So I'm 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 I'm happy to give it a 5-Star rating, but here's the thing. We've had some pretty fair weather around these parts and I haven't put on any warmer clothes yet. That's 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 pad's therapeutic benefits. That remains to be seen, but I'm 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. It's 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 I've 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 it'll get up to 176 degrees (so I'm told). The downside with this one is it's pretty much either 'feast or famine' with no constant. There's no control on it so there's never a consistent temperature at all. It's usually either too hot (while you're holding the lever 'til you can absolutely stand it no more!), or, it's cooling down when you let the button go. Still, there's much to be said. It gets blastin' hot and it'll 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. I've 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! :-)

Best Heating pad!!
I love this heating pad, it’s perfect! The XL size is a amazing and I can heat my entire spine. Also, the color is truly calming in the Zen green. The 2 hour auto shut off safety feature is the best and offered peace of mind. Highly recommend, I will keep coming back to Pure Enrichment brand!
