Find Best Price at Amazon"To describe the fabric further, the top is but like a soft terry microfiber and the bottom is like a typical blue heating pad cover fabric. The cover is integrated INTO the pad. The integrated pad cover doesn't slip off while in use and ruin the shape of the plastic pad as the cover is being held on by a plastic snap pulled tight to end of the pad as the cover slips off the other side. The integrated pad cover doesn't slip off, exposing the super hot plastic which can burn the skin. This may mean washing is more of a hassle, and a risk for losing the pad sooner, but for me the softness and worry-free USE of the integrated pad cover greatly out-weighs the con of losing a pad sooner due to machine washing wear and tear. The latter option is something I have never had in a pad before and I like it as it lets me put the pad on "1" and set it at the end of my bed for keeping my toes warm all night. Though I've paid $25-30 for cruddy pads with the flimsy blue cover held on with a snap from Wal-Mart, so $36 for this awesome pad doesn't seem too shabby a deal. When you put the pad on unlimited timer it seems to waver, and not stay super hot, so people that want endless searing heat may not be happy with this. Bottom line: This is one of the better pads you can get your hands on with it's lovely integrated cover, good size and long cord. Since "cheap" pads aren't a heck of a lot less expensive, if you use your pad on any sort of regular basis I recommend this as a good upgrade. Hope this review is helpful and that you find comfort in your heating pad! Best pad I have ever had - hands down. It still heats evenly and the fuzzy cover is nice looking for an oft-used and washed pad. I do very much like it, and I have had a ton of pads. UPDATE 02/04/2017: When another shopper left a comment on my review I saw that the burgundy pad was up for about $10 off the normal price and since I use this pad so much, and prefer it so much over any other that I have used in the past - I snapped it up for a spare. When someone in the household needed a pad we gave the new one a try and they liked it the same as I love mine, as it is just as functional and comfortable as the first pad, with fast hot heat, 2hr/stay on shut-off options and the big soft washable fabric cover. UPDATE 11/28/2017: It's been awhile since I updated, but since it's finally getting cold - after a long, hot summer and early/mid autumn - and I've begun to use these pads again to warm my feet and core, instead of just for pain."
"Even though the cover isn't removable, the cord disconnects from the pad and the whole thing can be washed. A tip if you're having problems with the controller not working and displaying an "F" on the LCD: If the heating pad becomes disconnected from the power cord, the controller doesn't seem to know what to do when you plug it back in. To fix this, first make sure the pad is plugged into the cord securely."
"Originally bought this for myself, but turns out my sweet little kitten loves it too!"
"This is exactly what I need to help me manage my chronic back pain. So I'm not too sure how long it will last before it either malfunctions or burns my house down. Triggered my safety switches around the house."
"I ordered this a year ago and it worked great until the control mechanism melted."
"I have had this heating pad for 2 months and it has quit working and flashing an F on the control."
"Turned it on today and after 5 minutes it started to melt the control panel."
"That is, until the other day when I went to adjust the temperature and the controller felt hot."

"I read all these reviews before I bought mine. Cover is soft and inside workings aren't hard."
"As a long time sufferer of chronic lower back pain (sciatica), I have been around the block a few times searching for the right treatment to manage my pain. At least with the chiropractor, one staple of therapy is the use of TENS and a heated compress on my lower back to help alleviate the muscle tension. I've long wished to have this therapy available without an appointment and the associated costs. Pros: -- Heats up quickly and evenly - I've had heading pads in the past which seem to heat up first along the coils and then radiated out over time. I also like that it doesn't heat up whatever I've lying or sitting against, so it's safe for heat-sensitive surfaces. I find it a little short and inconvenient when I'm using it on my back and I'm lying down."
"I was excited to hear about this heating pad. You can spray the microplus side with a mist of water or dampen it with a sponge so. as it the pad heats it's giving you a moist heat. I've had many heating pads in the past where. Medium isn't hot enough, while High is too hot. It's also not made of that vinyl material that most other heating pads. are made of, that always end up getting all twisted and become useless after awhile."
"I guess it's past the 90 days because Amazon won't let me link to the order when I try to get to customer service."
"We used this properly and he was lying on his stomach with the pad on his back."
"I purcahased 1 on January 8, 2017 and another 1 on April 17, 2017 so that I could have 2 in the house."

"This is the third one I've purchased as they only last about a year before completely not heating or failing to heat past a low temperature. I use the heating pad almost daily for both neck/shoulder as well as lower back and, when working properly, it provides very good heat."
"I've had this exact heating pad for years, and after letting my friend borrow it for a neck problem, it came back broken."
"I sleep with this on my neck with a towel wrapped around it to secure it every nite."
"It really helps to relax my shoulders as I tend to tense them during the day, so this really helps!"
"I bought this over a year and a half ago and somehow never got round to using it; then recently, it sort of turned up (I think it was with the christmas boxes...) and then it sat on the floor for a couple of days. Then last Thursday, I had a massage and the massage therapist told me that I had excessively tight muscles and did I have a heating pad!"
"They have a lot of shoulder pain from previous shoulder surgeries."
"I LOVE this product."
Best Cold Packs
ColPac provides effective relief of pain from cold therapy.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I live with just one other person (my boyfriend) and prior to this purchase, there was a need for a good ice pack at least a few times per week. These are the ones physical therapists use for clinic work- meaning, they won’t leak, drip, fall apart, or crap out. In my opinion, the lining is thick enough to use it with just a T-shirt between it and my back (most ice packs state they should be wrapped in a towel to prevent skin damage.)."
"But when my massage therapist and trainer both suggested a cold pack for a back injury, I was in enough pain to try. Some might say that I would be better anyway with that time passage, bbut this injury has been lingering for months."
"This is the best cold pack ever."
"The ice pack that you get at Walmart are too small, too light to cover her knee all over."
"Tip: if you don't keep in resealable bag, it picks up funky smells in the freezer."
"Gets ice cold in freezer and could probably put in fridge. At 930 pm it was extremely cold and by 930 am it was still cold to be directly applied without towel."
"I was doing crossfit with a friend at school, when I made a mistake and rolled my ankle, poop happens, luckily the sprain was not severe but moderate, I ordered this on amazon and it saved my ankle, it is crucial to ice immediately and thoroughly after an injury or your injury if not treated and healed correctly will likely reinjure itself in the future, this is called chronic ankle sprain."
"At first look I thought this was going to be great."

"That "lemony" smell that other reviewers mentioned has pretty much gone away, it doesn't bother me at all, and I'm pretty sensitive to odd odors."
"This water bottle hasn't failed me yet and I've found it to be still warm 12 hours later tucked under my bed blankets...not exactly as hot as I first popped it in my blankets but it's still warm to the touch."
"Warm, soft, smooth, put almost boiling water into it, and it was perfect to the touch (not too hot), and has completely soothed my pain. After the water cools down, I pour it into dirty pots and pans to be used in washing so as not to waste the water."
"This is a fabulous hot water bottle for any purpose."
"This is one of the only hot water bottles I've used that actually heats up very well with the addition of boiling water."
"Great product."
"We had one for long time, but broken a few months ago."
