Can’t Sleep Without One
These Carex Bed Buddy heat pads hold heat very well and are light enough to move around easily. They are great for easing stiffness and pain, and the length is perfect to wrap around your neck. Our family has bought several of these heated bed buddies over the past two decades, and they play an integral part in our daily routine. In the morning, we pop them in the microwave as we prepare coffee and then wrap them around our necks to ease morning stiffness. They are flexible and mold themselves to our neck shapes. In the evenings, we do the same to help wind down and reduce soreness. During the winter months, we place a heated buddy at the foot of the bed for a source of heat throughout the night. The gentle, soothing warmth helps us fall asleep. We have bought other types of bed buddies in the past. For example, the ones with a strong floral scent (filled with lavender and flax) smell great, but they cannot compare to having the deep warmth of these bed buddies, which hold their heat for at least 15-20 minutes. The buddy heat pad has a light scent at first, but it fades over time. The only thing to watch out for is to make sure you do not overheat them. If you place them in the microwave for too long, they can start to emit a slight burning smell. To avoid this, we heat them in intervals. We do an initial 45-second round, followed by another 35-second round, which makes the bed buddy’s warmth perfect for our bare necks. Our only minor wish is that the buddy came with a removable, washable cover. We like them so much, we give them as gifts for friends and family who have been injured or who have chronic conditions. Overall, these bed buddies offer a reliable, comforting, and portable source of heat. They are durable, long-lasting, and a great use of money.

Affordable relief after long workdays and/or exercise sessions
I’ve been really happy with this Carex Bed Buddy heat wrap. I like heating it up in the microwave after a long day of work, whether that’s sitting at a computer or doing something more physical. It’s become part of my nighttime routine because it really helps relieve tension and stress in my neck and shoulders. It works especially well after upper body day at the gym. When my neck feels tight or sore, I heat it and let it rest around my shoulders. It’s also comfortable enough to wear while watching a movie, which makes it a nice, relaxing addition to the evening. I’ve also used it on other areas. It works well on my lower back, and sometimes if my knee is sore, I’ll place it there for moist heat. It can also be used during your period to provide comforting heat for cramps. I like that it’s versatile and not limited to just the neck. I was a little concerned at first after reading some reviews mentioning possible burn issues. Because of that, I’ve been careful to follow the recommended microwave heating time and not overheat it. In my experience, it doesn’t need to be extremely hot to be effective. I haven’t noticed any strange burning smell, and I haven’t had any issues so far. I previously owned a Bed Buddy and used it until it eventually wore out, so I’m already familiar with the product. This one feels about the same in quality as my last one. I haven't tried the cooling option yet, as I prefer heat, but I could see it coming in handy for sore knees after a run or weight session.

Good product
After reading some of the recent reviews of this product, I had to put up my own review. The original Bed Buddy was awesome, but they sold to Carex brand. It's still a good product. I heat mine at 1 minute (in a 1000-watt microwave) which I think is still over what you're supposed to heat them at, but it hasn't caught fire. When it has cooled down to barely warm, I will reheat at 1 minute again. Read the directions, don't heat and reheat too close together. I have never had one burn up or catch fire in the microwave. I also have an electric neck warmer that has settings 1-9 and how many hours you want it to be on by another company. I use it at the pc. With these two, I'm covered. The neck warmer is not meant to be HOT. Its purpose is to warm your muscles slightly. It relieves stiffness, and pain. It is comfortable to wear all day, even as it cools; the weight is actually comforting. The wrap does have handles which don't seem needed. The wrap, even without burning up, will eventually wear out and should be replaced if it smells like it has been cooking. It does not have beads. Make sure the microwave turn table is clean before heating. The stitching keeps the filling in place and is very helpful. The price has increased since Bed Buddy sold it years ago: originally it was $9.95, now the list price appears to have gone up to $12.95. I have tried other neck wraps but always come back to this one. Don't expect it to last forever and try not to burn it up :)

Excellent heating pad
Excellent heating pad,I put in the microwave with a cup of water in coffee mug (the steam from water helps get moist heat) for 3 minutes, it is steaming hot and I use for my neck every night.I can tolerate a lot of heat, I would not recommend keeping it that long in microwave if you are sensitive to heat.Test it first before putting on skin,use towel to layer if your skin is sensitive. Lasts about 20 minutes and huge relief with muscle spasms,comfortable, soft and great length.I got these for my parents as well and they love it.My dad needed moist heat for back spasms so I got him 2 of them. Lasts a long time,very durable and great value for money.Would buy again if needed and would highly recommend.
