Great Overall
Nice how it doesn’t get too hot, I feel like I can leave it on for long periods of time without it burning.I feel like it’s helped in active recovery after my workouts. Also nice that it has the strap with different sizes. Makes it easy to use on my back or legs/arms. Overall great product.

Generates an amazing amount of FIR heat
I have very stubborn issues with plantar fasciitis that defy my attempts to lessen the irritation. I’ve been using this far infrared heating pad for a few weeks now and it’s really helped. The heat it generates is at first subtle and then grows quite warm over time. I can tell this is really far infrared due to the fact that the heat felt is more on the inside of my foot than on the outside. A short time with this pad does a great job treating the underlying irritation of the fascia. I was surprised at the quality of this pad and the strength of it. The one thing to understand about it is that it consists of three separate FIR panels connected together inside of a very nice fabric shell. While this does give the pad some flexibility, the three panels are of course rigid. You can, for instance, wrap this around a leg or even an arm successfully but if you need to treat a smaller area, you’ll have to work at positioning it correctly on one of the emitters. FIR devices have a ways to go before they become small enough to be both effective and flexible, but for now this Thermotex unit is not only the the best I’ve found but is much more than I expected.

Very little heat. And you need firm contact to transfer the heat, but you can’t lay on it.
Been using the Thermotex Far Infrared Heating Pad – Platinum for a little over a year.During that year my wife and I have switching between a handmade pad filled with rice that you heat in the microwave, a generic $30 electric heating pad from Walgreens, and this Thermotex. The Termotex is by far our least favorite. It has several problems:1: It takes a long time to warm up, about 10-15 minutes.2: It is uncomfortable and not very form fitting. It’s made up of three plastic panels wired together. Each panal is inserted into a pouch in the cover. Each panal is very ridged. The cloth cover can fold in two places, so it can fold around a straight limb. But if you have a spot on the side of your neck, or the top of your shoulder it will not be flexible enough to reach it.3: It gives very little perceived heat. And there is no low/med/high. Just on/off. Just to note, it uses 14 watts.4: The manufactures says not to lay on it or it can be damaged.5: The heat feels no different than any of the other pads we have. Except that it’s not much heat at all. Thermotex markets it as such: “After just 20 minutes of use, the soothing infrared wavelengths penetrate up to 2.36 inches into the applied area.” I believe some infrared might make it through the black cover. But I can feel the cover getting warm, and when I press into the pad I feel more heat. That makes it seem that a lot of the power is just going to heating the pad up, and not emitting infrared light.6: The heat is very mild. You can hardly feel the heat. I would often check the power switch to make sure I didn’t flip it off. Unfortunately it was always still on. The best way I can describe the heat is when you are up and walking about and you steal your wife’s seat while she goes to get something, it’s that kinda warm, and it’s gone in 30 seconds to a minute. It is not the kinda warm like: I feel like an icepick is lodged in my back and I need the closest thing to burning me to dull the pain for 2 minutes to loosen me up. If you need this kind of quick relief take an old sock and fill it halfway with rice, tie the open end up and microwave it to your desired heat and lay it on/lay on it for 1-2 minutes. Be carful to not burn yourself. Cost is only an old sock, 50 cents of rice, and the power to the microwave.7: My wife and I don’t find any relief from the Thermotex. Our other pads do a much better job of wrapping around and heating the affected area.8: It is expensive! I’m no stranger to paying for a premium product. But I expect a premium product to be user friendly, comfortable, and most importantly: work! We found it did not do any of these.I thought it might have a longer lasting affect for deep tissue or bone/joint pain. I’ve had those kind of injuries or pain 3-4 times. Each time I used the Thermotex for multiple days. I feel it caused more discomfort and problems trying to use it then if I had nothing. If I didn’t use it I at least would have been comfortable and been able to relax the whole time. Instead I struggled to get it in the right spot, I was uncomfortable, and I felt no relief. My condition improved once I gave up with the Thermotex pad, took Ibuprofen, stretched, and did mobility exercises for the same period of time as using the pad. Felt much better after that.All that to say, it doesn’t work well and is not worth the money.

Excellent for large & flat areas, awkward and difficult for small, curved areas
Thanks to this device, I can touch the floor when bending over. I can get increased movement in my neck (more cracking and popping, less restricted range of motion), seems to be better circulation to my arms / neck / back just by using this on my upper back. More than a few times I’ve used this to help alleviate acute upper back pain and decrease pain for muscle overuse strains in my mid-back.That said, when I want to use it on the top of my shoulders, on the side of my hip, part of my neck, etc, it’s awkward, difficult or impossible to get good, comfortable placement. The heating elements, or the thing that surrounds them, is quite stiff and large, so there’s not a lot of flexibility. You may need to prop pillows or leverage different things to get decent coverage for some use cases.In fairness, I primarily use this while I’m working, so my usage options are limited to how I can work with it sitting on a chair of some kind. Maybe if you were relaxing, watching TV, laying down or something more flexible than sitting in a chair to work, you could manage getting coverage on a smaller / rounder surface area more easily.The design and quality is solid, the plug is solid, strong and not too short. If I need some length or flexibility due to the cord length, I use a heavy-duty plug strip with longer cable.If you’re looking for a “hot” heating pad, this is not that. If you’re looking for a heating pad that can produce results in terms of improving flexibility, this can work to that end. It has for me, anyway.I go back and forth on whether this is “worth” the $250 or whatever price it is now. The thing is, the only time I have that debate is when I’m not in pain needing something to provide some modicum of relief. This device has helped me numerous times, and while I don’t use or need it every day or even every week now, I don’t think I’d want to be without it.
