Sunny Bay Hands-Free Unscented Neck Heating Wrap 2.5 Pound Navy Blue

Good but too heavy for anyone has neck pain already

Product is exactly as described and works well

The product is great and give great coverage for top and bottom of neck, and wraps nicely. Material is also very comfortable. However, the extra size comes with extra weight, and I find it too heavy for me to wear for long when sitting at the computer or walking around. I am 82 years old and I'm sure that has an impact. So I find it works better for me if I'm laying down or laying back, say in a recliner. To be fair to the manufacturer, there is a warning about extra weight for elderly patients.

Really long review for an item that is seemingly very "simple"... but I hope this helps someone like me. My Story: I've been having terrible neck pain (unknown cause), which has been keeping me from sleeping well for weeks and causing headaches that last for many days. Nothing has really cured my neck pain. But I found that HEAT does help ease my neck pain, and relaxes it enough for me to sleep. Heating pads (electric) are awesome, in theory, because they heat up quickly, and get super hot and stay hot. Unfortunately, I have tried multiple types, even the neck-shaped ones, and none of them are able to get the heat to my actual NECK/base of skull without me folding it or contorting it all sorts of directions. Folding an electric heating pad is not advisable and can cause the heating pad to melt, fail, and/or start a fire. So I was looking for another way... a safer way. I had been looking all over amazon to decide which microwavable neck wrap to get, and I found this one, and I was wary because it only had 2 reviews at the time. I took a chance and I do like it. My only problem with it is that it seems to take a LOTTTT longer than the recommended microwave time to get it to a heat that's hot enough to be, um, HOT! otherwise, it's just kinda warm, and what's the point?! So i'm finding myself spending a lot of time in front of the microwave, at least 5 minutes total, to heat this thing; microwave 1 minute, stop & check, not done, microwave another minute, stop & check, not done, flip, microwave another minute.... and on for about 5 minutes. I don't want it to catch fire like other people's wraps (on amazon) have done, so I must only do it for 1 minute, then stop and check it. DO NOT LEAVE IT UNATTENDED in the microwave! I assume this process is the same for ANY neck wrap that you buy, because they all seem to take freakin forever to heat up, regardless of its quality. I've done one filled with rice, and it took just as long. Note: my microwave is >1100 watts; so, it's not weak! So, I actually ended up using my little neck buddy for a non-advertised purpose, not its primary purpose. I love that it's solid on the inside and soft on the outside. I find myself using it in bed to rest my head in all sorts of positions; sideways, behind my neck for extra support, between my knees, behind my back, etc. I have problems with pillows being too "soft" or giving... Like, you put your head on it, and all the air lets out and you are basically just laying on the bed! what's the point!? Even the extra firm pillows are that way. I also have a memory foam pillow, but that is TOOO HARD! gahhh, is there no middle-ground!? So that's where my little neck buddy comes into play. I like putting my head on it, it's so soft, and i can mold it to whatever orientation that will make me comfortable in the moment. I'm a side-sleeper, so this helps me be able to sleep on my side without hurting my neck worse. I'm not saying this thing is the best thing in the world, but it definitely has become part of my nightly "bedding accessories" haha. Pros: -Once it's hot, it STAYS hot for a while. -Smells like fresh cookies are in the oven when you heat it up! mmmm -Super soft -HEAVY! -Solid! -Loop helps keep it on your neck, freeing your hands. Cons: - Takes way longer than it says to heat the wrap up to a temperature that's hot enough for me to call "hot" and/or helpful for my neck pain.

This is a very good product. The design is great, because it has a very good rear portion that is larger than just about every other heating wrap. For me, that's great because it heats up with moist heat over by bulged disc in my neck at the C3-C4 discs as I use it prior to doing P/T traction for my neck condition. It has a very nice and soft covering that really feels good and the adjustment feature allow a perfect fit for any size neck. The reasons that I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 are because of two things. First is that their time to heat it is way too short. The second one is that it loses its heat (in my opinion) faster than I'd like. Perhaps it's because I have only had it for 1 month and it may need some more breaking in time. The seller gave me good and quick communication on my questions prior to me buying it. I would still recommend this product and the seller.
