SunnyBay Microwave Heating Pad, Microwavable Moist Heated Neck and Shoulder Wrap, Versatile Weighted Beanbag Cold Pack or Warm Compress for Pain Relief, 26x5 Inches, Navy Blue

good product to use for neck pain

It does heat up and feel nice but the smell is overwhelming and horrible and makes me feel sick! It smells bad!! Yuck. I get the worst headache and feel nauseous. Update - I immediately heard from the seller after writing this review. She was so kind and caring and offered me a full refund. She said the odor was from the fresh seeds and would dissipate with usage. I am extremely sensitive to smells, much more than most people. I can't be around any perfumes. Everything else about it is great. It is well made and the weight is perfect and the materials soft. (I'm very fussy about textures too.) It does heat up nicely in the microwave and felt heavenly to my sore neck.

I bought this neck warmer for my wife because we had repeated issues with the quality of the stitching on another brand, it was letting the flaxseed leak out and required constant repair. We were impressed with the quality manufacture of this product, as well as its feel, but like some others found the burnt odor intolerable (she has high sensitivity to smells). To provide the heat she needs on her shoulders, the recommended 1:40 period in the microwave is too little, yet exceeding it burns the contents inside.

This heating pack was easy to microwave, kept its heat for a good length of time and the smell was pleasant and not overwhelming. I bought the neck and shoulder wrap which weighs 2.2 lbs. I found that for my build and neck issues it was too heavy. When I called SunnyBay I interacted with a very helpful customer service person who offered to send me the smaller size rectangular pack which weighs 1.1 lb. This is very comfortable for me. I will pass on the longer pack to someone who is more able to tolerate its weight. I really appreciated the customer service I received from Sharon!

I got this product for severe neck pain. I also have back pain. It warm up great in the microwave and holds heat well. My issue was the weight of the heating pad. When resting in bed you don't notice it, but once I start walking around the house I can feel the weight of it actually pushing my head forward which is bad for the neck. Wish the whole thing was lighter.
