No heat can be felt if using the soft side.** A: I have been using the Thermotex heating pad for 2 years and give it a 5 star rating, except for the price. Always used the "hard" non padded side with the Thermotex logo against my body. After reading some of the comments, I thought I was using the pad incorrectly, so I called Termotex and was told the "hard" side (logo side) should be placed against you body. This may be why several commenters gave it a lower rating, stating that they could not feel the heat. **Q: What is the difference between the gold and platinum besides a few inches?** A: The gold edition is not flexible and primarily is used for the back. The platinum one is flexible and does conform to the body such as the knee in addition to use on the back. Hope this helps. **Q: where Are these Made? USA? Thanks!** A: It is good of you to ask. This is a Calgary, Alberta, Canada product. There a few dealers in the US, lots more in Canada. The electrical components are made in Canada, Thermotex having a Calgary Alta address. The cover is made in China. The "face" of the cover is 100% nylon, sort of like a velveteen. The backing is 50% nylon and 50% cotton. This is all according to the tag on my Thermotex Platinum. It comes with two velcro straps; a small one which I use for knees, etc. and a larger one for backs, hips, and so on. This is a very sturdy pad, and I very much like what it does for me. **Q: Does this emit high levels of EMF from the cord / area coming out of the pad?** A: The Thermotex Therapy products are electrical and use standard 110/120 volt power. The EMF emitted is the same as other small appliances in your home such as a light bulb. The Thermotex Personal products are registered medical devices with the FDA and Health Canada and are required to meet specific electrical standards and certifications in order to be used in medical facilities and hospitals safely. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 if I Could - A Vital Part of My Recovery *by on Reviewed in the United States 30 September 2025* WHY I PURCHASED ITThe Thermotex Far Infrared Premium Heating Pad - Platinum has been a vital part of my recovery from an initially debilitating bout with Spondylolisthesis four years ago. I was diagnosed following a car accident. The lower back pain was excruciating... sciatica shooting from hip to toes, shoulder and neck pain, even leaky gut symptoms. My life felt miserable.I prayed for guidance and asked God to show me a natural path to healing instead of relying on all the medication my doctor prescribed. That’s when I found:- Bob & Brad (YouTube Physical Therapists): Brad had the same diagnosis and recommended the Thermotex Far Infrared Premium Heating Pad - Platinum. Bob has since passed away... may his soul rest in peace.- Stuart McGill’s book The Back Mechanic: While not specific to spondylolisthesis, it gave me vital insights into back hygiene and the importance of walking daily.- Pahla B and yes2next YouTube channels: Their pain-sensitive, low-impact workouts (yes, even as a man I had to swallow my pride and start very light!) kept me moving safely.----------MY RECOVERY JOURNEYWithin weeks of using the Thermotex on my lower back for 30 minutes at a time, several times a day, along with very light exercise and a whole foods diet (that helped with inflammation), I started to feel hope. Mentally, I was finally fighting instead of just suffering.Physically, I noticed steady improvements from the infrared heat:- Better circulation and a little more mobility.- Reduced pain, allowing me to increase exercise little by little.- Over time, I regained strength and mobility.Fast forward 4 years: Thank God, I can now jog, jump, and do full calisthenics workouts (push-ups, pull-ups, squats, lunges, etc.). This heating pad played an important physical role in that journey. Even today, I use it whenever I overdo things or just need to relax tense muscles.----------WHAT I LOVE ABOUT IT1) Design/Detachable Long Cord - A fantastic feature. I can move around without removing the pad, and if I need to go beyond the cord’s reach, I simply detach it while leaving the pad strapped to my body. In my apartment, I can go from my office space into the adjoining kitchen without detaching the cord.2) Straps & Fit - Customer service impressed me right after purchase. I emailed asking for an additional extra-long strap, and they sent it quickly, free of charge. With two long straps, I can wear the unit like a backpack, which is amazing for upper back and neck pain or relaxation while working at my desk.3) Durability - The inner pads aren’t pillow-soft, but I see that as a positive. They’ve kept the pad sturdy all these years. The outer velvet-like covering is still soft, and despite daily use (99% of the time with a shirt on), I’ve never needed to wash it. No smell, no major wear.4) Safe & Comfortable - Sometimes I use it for 30 minutes or more because it’s simply relaxing, not just therapeutic. It has never burned my skin. Not having a timer is not an issue for me.The only “issue” is that the green status light doesn’t always display, but it hasn’t affected performance at all. All three retractable heating sections still deliver the same deep heat they did on day one.----------MORE THAN BACK PAIN RELIEFStomach issues:- When I overdo it with the fork and feel bloated, this pad on my stomach for about 30 minutes provides relief.- My daughter also uses it on her stomach for relief during her cycle.----------FINAL THOUGHTSIf you’re considering this for back pain, recovery, or even general muscle relief, it won’t be a magic cure on its own. But as part of a holistic recovery plan, it can be life-changing. It was for me.At 46, I don’t have the back of an 18-year-old, but I’m thankful to God that it’s much better than it was 4 years ago. I’m able to live normally and stay active. There’s no question in my mind that this product was a key part of my healing journey.Thank you to the company for making a great product that truly helps people through tough challenges. And to anyone considering it... be patient, stay consistent, and focus on what you can do, even if it feels small at first. Healing is rarely an overnight process; it’s a journey made up of steady steps forward. For me, this pad became one of the best investments I made along that journey. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic *by on Reviewed in the United States 17 October 2026* This heating pad is great for my sciatica and lower back pain. It works much better than a regular heating pad. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Overall I recommend this and feel that it aided in my recovery from a back injury *by on Reviewed in the United States 2 March 2023* Pros:The Thermotex Far Infrared Heating Pad – Platinumm is an excellent product that heats noticeably deeper than standard heating pads. It uses far infrared technology to penetrate deep into the body's tissues, providing therapeutic heat to help alleviate pain and discomfort. Unlike many heating pads, it doesn't feel burning hot next to the skin, which makes it more comfortable to use for extended periods of time. Additionally, the heating pad helped you recover from a back injury quicker, which is a testament to its effectiveness.Cons:One downside of the Thermotex Far Infrared Heating Pad – Platinumm is its cost, as it is more expensive than a typical heating pad. Additionally, the heating pad is thick and not the most comfortable to lay on, which may be a concern for some users. It also doesn't bend very well around limbs, which may limit its effectiveness for certain types of injuries or conditions.Overall, despite the high cost and slight discomfort, the Thermotex Far Infrared Heating Pad – Platinumm is an excellent choice for those who need deep and penetrating heat therapy for pain relief and injury recovery. The benefits of the far infrared technology and the pad's effectiveness in aiding recovery make it worth the investment. ## Frequently Bought Together - Thermotex–Far Infrared Premium Heating Pad – Platinum – Pain Relief – Warms and Relaxes Muscles – Large Size for Back, Shoulder, Arms and Legs – 17 in. x 13 in. - Thermotex Far Infrared Heating Pad – Gold – Premium Heating Pad for Discomfort Relief – Warms and Relaxes Muscles – Medium Size for Back, Torso, Arms and Legs – 15 in. x 15 in. - Thermotex Far Infrared Premium Heating Pad - Foot - Infrared Foot Warmer - for Discomfort Therapy, Muscle and Joint Stiffness, and Relaxation - for Men and Women --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/296333640-thermotex-universal-platinum-radiant-energy-pain-relief-heating-pad-17](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/296333640-thermotex-universal-platinum-radiant-energy-pain-relief-heating-pad-17) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-11-04*
