Best Heating Pads in the UK

Thermotherapy used to be a common practice of relieving pain and relaxing muscles by applying heated stones on body parts many centuries ago. Luckily, modern thermotherapeutic devices are much more pleasant and comfortable to use than those used by our ancestors, and the Dreamland heating pad is one of them.

First of all, the appliance uses the Intelliheat™ technology that provides fast heat-up and maintains the temperature within the required limits throughout a thermotherapy session, ensuring enhanced user's comfort and safety of use. Next, the polyester exterior material known for its exceptional heat emitting properties adds to the comfort of use, providing an exact fit to a user's body curves.

Similar to many other heating pads, the Dreamland features an auto shut-off function either and will give you peace of mind even if you'd used it for an extended length of time and accidentally fell asleep. If a session hasn't been stopped manually, the device switches off automatically after 3 hours of use. However, the manufacturer warns against falling asleep while using the heat pad and emphasizes that the control unit should not be covered.

All in all, using the Dreamland heat pad is a great way to eliminate muscle pain and discomfort.

The Beuer Electeronic HK35 Heating Pad is a 40 x 30 cm rug which can be used to ease any body part of pain, be it neck, shoulders or back. Even if you needed to affect your legs or arms, you could easily wrap this rug around the aching area. This might not sound a lot different coming from competing heating pads designed in a shape of a rug; what distinguishes this heating pad from the rivals, however, is its Turbo fast heat up which allows for extremely quick heating in mere 10 minutes after the unit's activation. 3 temperature settings offer you to choose the desired heat intensity.

With the Beuer Electeronic HK35 Heating Pad, even when using it at high temperature settings, you shouldn't worry about overheating. Being based upon the BSS Overheat Protection System even a slight temperature rise above the limits will trigger the pad to automatically switch off, protecting a user from the risk of burns and the unit from damage.

All these nice features in a combination with the ease of maintenance (its breathable cotton cover is machine washable at 30°C) make this model from Beuer an optimal solution for most customers seeking an effective device with a heating option to relax muscles, treat aching areas and relieve back pains.

Most heating pads on the market are too small to cover two or more areas simultaneously, but not the DIZA100 heating pad. Soft-to-the-touch and functional, this generously-sized model can be applied to larger body areas, like your neck and back, abdomen and legs, neck and shoulders, or knees and legs. With that, the item offers a variable temperature control: you can choose one of the 6 settings depending on your needs; the heating temperature ranges from 40°C to 60°C. The overheat protection copper wire will turn off the appliance if the temperature at any part of the pad exceeds the stated maximum.

For comfortable use and better heat preservation, the pad is made of super-soft flannel fabric. Though some users admit that the pad is a little too thin and you can sometimes feel the wires, the fluffy fabric efficiently preserves the heat. Moreover, there are 4 timer modes (30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes) allowing you to set the session duration and enjoy the healing warmth without watching the time.

Maintaining the appliance is a breeze. You can wash the flannel pad in your washing machine, just do not forget to detach the controller and make sure the water temperature is ≤ 40°C.
