 Just What the Therapist Ordered... Jan 17, 2011
By delicateflower152
An unusual neurological condition resulted in pain that radiated from my shoulder area down to my fingertips. The occupational therapist recommended heat to help alleviate the discomfort. However, even though I'm short, I'm not so short that a standard heating pad would cover the entire area. I did my searching on Amazon and found a number of longer heating pads, but the cheaper versions appeared to be just that - cheaply made and having unsatisfactory performance. Reliamed had the best reviews, seemed geared toward professionals which indicated it would be longer lasting, and was reasonably priced.
The Reliamed Heating Pad is a heavy-duty piece of equipment. The pad is well made and the covering is constructed of tightly woven flannel. The pad is large and for me extends from my shoulder to nearly my fingertips. Taller individuals will not obtain that amount of area coverage, but will still find this one of the larger pad areas available. The cord is not the typical flimsy electric cord found on most commercially available heating pads, but is the thick, round type found on professional products; the plug is three-pronged. The digital control is easy to use and easy to reset. It beeps once, softly, when it is turned on and five times as it shuts off; the quiet beeping is important if you use this at night and sleep with someone who wakens easily.
There are two minor things I feel could be improved; however, they are not serious enough to cause me to give this item a lower rating. There is a piece of velcro attached to one side of the cover which is in the middle of the cover. If you do not wrap the pad around the body part being warmed, it gets in the way when you be lying on the pad. The longer velcro piece extends beyond the top of the pad and also gets in the way. I have not cut it off because there is always a chance someone might need to wrap this around their lower back. However, the size of the pad and the amount of velcro attached would limit the individual's size to less than a 37-inch waist circumference. The second issue is that the pad heats about ten degrees beyond the set temperature when first turned on. My therapist recommended a temperature of 108 for my problem which means this initially heats to 118 degrees before dropping down to the correct temperature. I have found that by turning the heating pad on about five minutes before I am going to lay down, I can have it heat up and reliably drop to the correct temperature before I need it.
If you are in need of a longer or professional grade heating pad, you cannot go wrong purchasing a Reliamed. My therapist liked it so well, she is purchasing several for her clinic. Had I not found a Christmas special, I would have purchased at Amazon as their price and customer service are outstanding.

 Nice pad, but the controller beeps and the pad does not fully conform to the body Sep 17, 2011
By Matia
The best feature of this pad, in my opinion, is the temperature is set in degrees (not by high, medium and low). I also like that the controller displays the current temperature of the pad as it heats up.
This heating pad works well, but if you ever plan of falling asleep with it on (especially with someone else in the room sleeping as well), keep the following in mind:
1) You must set a time limit, between 1 and 60 minutes. It will not work any longer than the time limit you set; however, you may reset or increase the time up to a max of 60 minutes at any time.
2) When the time limit expires and the unit is going to automatically shut off, it beeps 3 times (about a second between each beep). If you are not a heavy sleeper, this will wake you up.
3) Turning the power on/off or increasing/decreasing the time or temperature in a quiet room at night is not a silent process. The controller beeps every time ANY button is pressed, including the power button (except when the controller is locked to prevent accidental changes).
FYI:
The pad is 14-inches in height and 27-inches in length. It can easily rollup or fold over when the crease is going up and down the height, but cannot rollup or fold down the length of the pad. This is because the pad has several semi-flexible flat rods (kind of like the boning found in a bra or corset), like a ladder.
The semi-flexible flat rods prevent the pad from completely conforming to your body. The instructions state that the moist-heat feature of the pad works best on bare skin contact. Depending on the contours of your body, the targeted location and if moist-heat is one of your requirements, you may need to weigh down the pad using your hand, arm or something else to get better contact. Keep in mind that the instructions also state that the pad should not be covered, like with a blanket, so the pad's cover can capture moisture in the air.
The heating pad is meant drape you; you are not supposed to lie down or sit on the pad.
The overall length of the power cord is a little over 6 feet (approximately 1.5 feet from the heating pad to the hand controller, and approximately 4.5 feet from the hand controller to the plug). It has a non-polarized plug (2 prongs instead of 3).
By default, the temperature and timer settings are incremented/decremented 1-degree or minute at a time each time the up or down button is presses. For example, to increase the temperature by 4-degrees, you must press the up button 4 times.
If you press and hold the up or down button while changing the temperature, the setting will first go up/down 2-degrees, and then in 9-degree increments until you release the button. For example, if you press and hold the up button starting at 86-degrees (the lowest temp available), the temperature will skip to 88-degrees, then 97-degrees, then 107-degrees, and so on (up to a maximum of 166-degrees).
If you press and hold the up or down button while changing the timer, the setting will first go up/down 1-minute, and then in 5-minute increments until you release the button. For example, if you press and hold the up button starting at 1-minute, the timer will skip to 2-miutes, then 7-minutes, then 12-minutes, and so on (up to a maximum of 60-minutes).
As long as the heating pad remains plugged in, it conveniently retains your last temperature and timer settings. When the heating pad loses power, the temperature defaults to 122-degrees and the time defaults to 15-minutes.

Love it - but would suggest a few minor manufacturer improvements Apr 25, 2011
By Michele Lewis
I have Fibromyalgia which causes severe back and joint aches. I wanted a heating pad that had a nice, plush, soft cover. All the ones I found had cheap, thin, covers that weren't soft. Although this one was quite pricey, I would pay almost anything to get one that would help. This pad has a very soft, plush cover. It is a great size, allowing me to stay on the pad as I roll from one side to my back to the other side throughout the night. The unit has adjustable timer and heat control. I like my heating pad pretty hot and I go up to 126 (of 160).
The suggestions I have for the manufacturer are: 1) Make the timer longer than 60 minutes - 120 or 180 at least. Just as I am about to get to sleep or have just gotten to sleep, it goes off and because I am not in a deep sleep the pain wakes me up again. 2) In addition to the unit turning off after 60 minutes, it emits 5 sharp beeps before it turns off. If I wasn't awake when it turned off, I am after hearing the beeps! Fortunately I most often use a fan at night, so it covers the sound of the beebs. 3) Add a night light to the control panel so that when you have to turn it back on and/or reset it in the night, you don't need to turn on a light to do it. 4) Lose the velcro straps. I would imagine they are not long enough to go around the mid section of most people who use this product anyway. Also, as I said, the heating pad is wide enough to completely roll over from side to side and stay on the heating pad. I cut the velcro strap off, but the strap it attaches to is sewn on and can't easily be taken off.
However, despite these minor manufacturing issues, I would still give it 5 stars!

Excellent Jan 08, 2011
By DW
I have chronic pain and this heating pad helps me make it though the day at work. I have had several heating pads, and this one is exceptional. Most heating pads either are not hot enough or too hot. This one allows the user to choose the exact temperature (in degrees). Even the cover is plush. I cannot say enough about this product. The only thing I would change about this product: I would want the Velcro to be detachable (it is attached to the cover on the width side) or add additional Velcro to allow the heating pad to be attached on the long side of the heating pad. You will not regret your purchase.

BYE BYE 20th centry 'THUMB-MORE-POOR'... Got to be LCD for 2010 Aug 01, 2010
By DrTrismo
"Terry"
I have had used 2 most well known brands heating pad; TheraTherm and Thermopore at my clinic but They did not make me and my patients happy.
TheraTherm was a cheapest but it was just low/medium temp heating pad that you can fall asleep on without fear of burning. It was just for home use only.
The second brand, Thermopore was better than TheraTherm. But I did not like the switch which one need to be hold down with my one hand. Once I release it, it stop heating.
Come on!!! We are in year 2010. People watching LCD TVs at home. I don't find a super heavy-thicky CRT TVs anymore. Why the THERMOPORE heating pad is still 100% on-off manually by THUMB? Is THERMOPORE means THUMB MORE POOR? Someone suggested use a rubber band to hold the on -off switch. But I think it was not a safe idea. Also it doesn't maintain the same temp. After a year(Warranty just expired) 2 of 6 that I purchased were stop working.
So I decided to look for a professional grade one at this time. And I found this one, ReliaMed heating pad at Amazon.com. It solved all the problems I had with others on the day I received.
With LCD... 2010 LCD control not 20th centry 'THUMB-MORE-POOOR' switch, I was able to set the timer 1~60 minutes(Thank God, I did not have to hold anything). Also temp control with safe lock button was smart. LCD was letting me know the current temp and target temp. The LCD control is so logical and easy. AND IT WORKS SO FAST AND REACHED 160 DEGREE. Even the pad itself has little dots all over so it made perfect contact with cover. How smart! The size was perfect for shoulder, thigh and legs.
No more bothering with other brands that never really get the job done. This is the only proffessional grade moist heating pad I've ever used.
