I wanted a heating pad, but the Trillium one I ordered is unavailable indefinitely. Is this cushion flexible enough to use as a heating pad?

If you mean as a heating pad on a car seat, then yes it's flexible enough. It will move a little as you get out of your car, but it won't fall off the seat. It's a great hearing pad and a little amount of movement wouldn't make me downgrade my five star rating.

I wish my memory was as good as yours. I felt for continuing use that the medium setting was fine. I thought the High setting was OK when you first put it on, but that it did get quite warm. Of course this is subjective, my hot might be your medium, but for the price I think it is an all around good pad.

That's exactly how I use mine and it works fine. It's the best heating mattress pad I've ever had.

Of course you can lean against it. it is so comfortable and soft. Hard to believe it is a heating pad. The one side is very plush. Doesn't bunch up like most plastic heating pads with a cover.

I don't know the answer to the questions, since I am using the gel cushion for only 2 continuous hours at the most and use it to relief discomfort. For longer use or to relieve greater pressure a thicker gel cushion may work better. I am pleased with how the 2 inch pad works for me.

I had thought about a heating pad too - maybe on a low setting. There is a nice thick fluffy cushion inside that you can take out to wash. The underneath is not plastic - I'm not sure what it is. It looks like fabric but feels kind of paper-y. Just buy it and return if you don't like it. For $20 it's a pretty good deal.

sorry but i forgot where i bought my pad. I think it was from one of those addendums " people who bought this might be interested in these " . I think it is from the same Oxbridge Company. It is terrific, Thick but easy to roll up. I have a dedicated space so I leave in place and it still looks new. I use it over a wooden floor and it stays in place. best wishes, Doug

The underside is a thick vinyl or plastic but on top of it is a 2 inch thing removable cushion. So Im not sure a heating pad would do a ton through that. But I am hesitant with electric heating pads as is and it would be pretty confined in this. I personally would not use one in it. Maybe a hot water heating pat would be better.

I absolutely see no reason why you can't lay on this pad. It's really nice. Heats up very fast and the cover is soft and washable.

The heating pad itself is covered in flexible plastic. But there is a washable soft cloth cover over that as well as a slim foam pad over one side.

Seems great to me. This is the best heating pad i have ever had. It has lasted through several years of almost daily use! I had a very expensive one the died on me twice in a row in a few months. The cords are stiff on cheaper models. Not this one.

It's not really a heating pad, it's just a fuzzy cloth cover for a heating pad. Hope this helps.

this is used in our camper which is hibernating now that winter is here. I will say it is the best pad we've bought & we really like it better than the regular foam ones. So comfy :)

Yes that is all my has. I was a little disappointed with that myself, but it is a good heating pad so I decided to keep it anyway.

At this time, no. The Extreme and my new favorite, the Double Gel, are both two inches thick. If you are looking for a bit more give the Double Gel might be what you want. It has a firm layer and a softer layer. You choose which you want on top. Check the website at www.wondergel.com for more information. They provide great customer service and have a reasonable return policy, even if you buy through Amozon. So there is no reason not to try a cushion to see if you like it.

Yes you can, just keep an eye on the temperature in the bowl, be it air or water. Bear in mind, you are asking about the cover of the heating pad, not the heating pad. I'm answering the question as if you were asking about the heating pad and not the cover.

Manufacturer states you are not to sit or lay on it. But my doctor said it was fine for me to lay on it as long as I don't program temperature too high and DONT FALL ASLEEP. The pad needs to CONFORM to your body. I find laying on my foam mattress topper is perfect for my back. Manufacturer wants you to lay it on TOP of your body. My doctor told me they have to say that or people, if they fell asleep could get burned if the digital control malfunctioned for instance. I've been using this pad regularly and it produces very good moisture! I'm happy with this pad. I prefer the control to Thermophore. I own both. I prefer BodyMed controller.
