Sunbeam Renue Neck Therapy Wrap

Does a good job with shoulders and neck. The heat is comfortable, and the fit is very good!

I've had this well over a year now and really love it. It comes out every so often when I work too long at the computer. Also great to use as a heating pad, since the metal coil of the neck will spread flat pretty well. I appreciate the auto shut off although I don't like to fall asleep with it on anyway. I usually crank it up to the highest level every time. Fyi it will not stay at the hottest level continuously, it will cycle on and off. But I think this is for safety and not a bug. I really like the adjustable collar, and how it will snap closed. And the weighted edge is a really nice touch that makes it feel cozy. It's lasted a long time already and I'll continue using it.

Works well, nicely weighted and padded. BUT.... it has this thick, metal bendy bar inside it that helps contour it to your neck. Great when you are sitting up, uncomfortable AF when laying down. So, I cut a slit in the fabric and I took the bar out (see pic).

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my brother. He loves it! It’s versatile enough to wear like cape, to ease stiffness in the shoulders and upper back, or spread it out like a blanket and lay down on it.

I got this neck and shoulder heating pad on impulse a couple months ago when I was going through a severe bout of neck and shoulder pain, which I suffer frequently as a desk worker. My chief complaints are neck and shoulder tension, with an RSI centered in my right front shoulder. I find it's actually helpful. The heat is concentrated more on the neck than the shoulders, so it is better for neck pain than shoulder pain. There is still enough heat on the shoulders that it can be soothing there as well. That said, on Whiny Shoulder Days, I find myself wishing I had a heating pad that was able to give more focus and heat to the shoulders. There is a good amount of heating reaching the upper back, right around that part of the spine that's like the hinge point between neck and back. It doesn't reach much further down than that. If you get a lot of tension between your shoulder blades, this isn't going to touch most of it, only the very upper parts. I find that trying to shift the pad back to reach those spots doesn't really work, it seems like more heat is needed to reach those deep muscles. There is a bendable wire running through the pad that allows you to mold the pad around your neck as closely or as loosely as you need, and magnets in the front flaps that let you close the pad like a cape. The pad is thick, reasonably soft, and suitably weighty, with beads sewn into the outer edges all around that help with weight and stability and probably also keep heat from radiating out through the edges. The auto shut off works consistently, so I'm not overly paranoid about leaving the thing unattended. It has 4 heat settings and I always use either level 3 or 4, the two highest settings. Level 4 is hot enough most of the time, and occasionally too hot, so I'm overall happy with the heat output - I just wouldn't exactly turn down a level 4.5. The power cable is detachable right at the pad so if you need to get up and don't want to shed your cloak, you can detach the cord instead and survive on residual heat. The detachment mechanism isn't the easiest to use, it's a squeeze type that always reminds me too emphatically about the tension in my arms and hands, but that difficulty keeps it secure all the rest of the time so what are ya gonna do. While the heating pad doesn't eliminate all tension and pain, I find that it keeps me more relaxed and it can help unlock a lot of the tightest spots on bad days. It seems to also improve my neck and shoulder mobility. I really enjoy when I've used it for a bit and I roll my head and shoulders for a quick stretch and get a bunch of pops and crackles, and suddenly my neck feels more right - like something that was in the wrong spot has finally shifted into the right spot. I have been surprised at how useful it is and it's now part of my routine for releasing pent up neck tension. It's not a cure all, but it is a good tool. My husband steals it to wrap around his arm for his wrist tension. He says it's flawless for that purpose. Bottom line, if you have neck tension, this heating pad is a solid choice. If your concerns are anywhere else, then there's a chance this won't suit you best. It's tailored for neck use and it does that well.

Great product. Fits pefectly around my neck and upper back/shoulder and sufficently heats my sternocleidomastoid muscle and upper trapezius muscle. No adjustments need once set in place. The weight and magnets hold the heat pad in place to direct the heat to the intended muscles.

It is form fitting and I like the weight of it. I gave 3 stars because it doesn’t get hot enough. The highest setting is warm. I paid more for Sunbeam product because I thought the temperatures would be accurate and the quality a high standard. Temperature is lousy. I can’t speak for the quality because I just got it. We’ll see how long it lasts.

This heating pad gave me the first relief I ever had from neck cramps which followed my cervical fusion in 1998. I highly recommend it
