What position do you need to be in to use this heating pad?

I sleep on my back on this heating pad every night. The controls allow you to set the temperature and time you are comfortable with, so burning is never an issue.

You can sit in a chair or lay down. It is pretty big for a chair. I don't recommend this pad covering moves all over the place. Hard to regulate the time and temperature

It's big enough to use it in any position. The directions say you're not supposed to lay on it and lay it on yourself instead, but I've used it both ways (under and on top of me). This is the best heating pad I've ever had. I don't know how it makes moisture, but it does. It has lasted me longer than the cheaper ones too!

The actual heating pad is on one side. However, the shell is aluminum and spreads the heat quite effectively so it heats up on all sides.

I believe so, but mywife did not want to do it... I feel it with my feet if i look for it, but is not an issue. The issue is- that the heating area is only along the outside edges.

On page 10 of the manual, [caution #5] says "Do not use while sleeping. Do not sit on or crush pad. Do not wet." It doesn't say anything else about it being under you while in operation. However, on page 10 there are 13 numbered cautions on burn or skin injury. It is a terrific heating pad. My husband and I each have our own pad.

I lean against my pillows sitting in bed with my weight against it and that's not a problem. It's well made. The heat can be adjusted, along with the time the heating pad runs, so those two features may work in your favor. You can run it at low heat for a short period of time. Hope this helps.

Hello, honestly all heating pads have the same directions. My mother inlaw who follows all the rules will lay the pad on her self to not crush it. I admit the folding is important because of the wires and that makes sense to me, however, I do lay and lean on it. Infact I have it next to my bed and I put it on for an hour while I lay on it. Then I pull it out and go to sleep. I just make sure it's not bent or nothing that will prick it or tear it. Q- I do notice that the button to turn it on/ off at times doesn't seem to want to work. Just when I am goin to give up- it works. Any problems with that ? Hello, honestly all heating pads have the same directions.

If you unsnap the heating pad cover there is a square of material inside. Remove this, wet it, wring it out so it is only moist. Put it back inside the outer covering. It will heat up and deliver moist heat.

Always on to. Remember hot air goes up and cool air down. Side ways is also a good placement.

I don't know because I returned the heating pad after it stopped getting warm enough to help after several uses.

Im not sure exactly what you are asking, but let me guess. The connector wires must connect at the bottom of the bed and on the top side of the mattress pad(between the pad and your sheets). Additionally, connect the pad and only turn on the left side to 9. If you have it backwards or upside down the heated side will be on the right of the bed.

I fell and had back pain, but when I arrived in Europe it was better so I did not use the heating pad. Sorry I cannot answer the question.

The way you position yourself will be up to you. I can reccomned reading the customer reviews to see how other buyers have used the item.

Should be as easy as plug in your controls into the pad plug it in the electrical outlet and hit the on button. Then select desired heat level and enjoy. If you want it to heat up a little faster touch the preheat button and enjoy half hour of high heat and then it returns to heat settings you selected. The controles should light up with the numbers L, 2, 3,...18, 19, H.

How did you get the heating pad out -- and especially how did you get it back in?

Your location(s) depends on the type of heating system you have. Dual zone or single, automatic or manual. It's is best to look on you tube. Mine had 5 actuators and 2 were bad.

It comes with a 3 position switch. High/Low/OFF. They can only be trimmed in one direction. You can reduce the length but not the width. (Let me clarify). Look at the picture of this item. Let's call the end with the wires the bottom. You could cut some length off of the opposite end (top) but not the sides. ( You could make it into a square but not into a more narrow rectangle. ) Also, if you only use one of the pads, you will only have HIGH heat. You will not be able to switch it to low.

Yes you can. It is the nicest heating pad because you can adjust the temperature in degrees instead of Hi, Med, and Lo. I use it everyday for my back and neck. It is a really nice size pad.
