Review: Generates an amazing amount of FIR heat - I have very stubborn issues with plantar fasciitis that defy my attempts to lessen the irritation. I've been using this far infrared heating pad for a few weeks now and it's really helped. The heat it generates is at first subtle and then grows quite warm over time. I can tell this is really far infrared due to the fact that the heat felt is more on the inside of my foot than on the outside. A short time with this pad does a great job treating the underlying irritation of the fascia. I was surprised at the quality of this pad and the strength of it. The one thing to understand about it is that it consists of three separate FIR panels connected together inside of a very nice fabric shell. While this does give the pad some flexibility, the three panels are of course rigid. You can, for instance, wrap this around a leg or even an arm successfully but if you need to treat a smaller area, you'll have to work at positioning it correctly on one of the emitters. FIR devices have a ways to go before they become small enough to be both effective and flexible, but for now this Thermotex unit is not only the the best I've found but is much more than I expected.
Review: An amazing product. - For three weeks I had back pains in my lower back that were so severe that I thought I had kidney stones. I have a very high pain tolerance but could not stand up straight and walked hunched over. I purchased this and within 3 days of use I had zero pain. It is very well made with excellent stitching. It is easy to use and the heat, though not as hot as regular heating pads, seems to penetrate and work far better than conventional pads. I have already recommended this to a close friend who has neck issues. It is not inexpensive but it is worth the money.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Which side should i put close to my body, the hard plate side or the soft side?  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.

### ⭐ Very little heat. And you need firm contact to transfer the heat, but you can’t lay on it.
*by A***R on February 21, 2023*

Been using the Thermotex Far Infrared Heating Pad – Platinum for a little over a year. During that year my wife and I have switching between a handmade pad filled with rice that you heat in the microwave, a generic $30 electric heating pad from Walgreens, and this Thermotex. The Termotex is by far our least favorite. It has several problems: 1: It takes a long time to warm up, about 10-15 minutes. 2: It is uncomfortable and not very form fitting. It’s made up of three plastic panels wired together. Each panal is inserted into a pouch in the cover. Each panal is very ridged. The cloth cover can fold in two places, so it can fold around a straight limb. But if you have a spot on the side of your neck, or the top of your shoulder it will not be flexible enough to reach it. 3: It gives very little perceived heat. And there is no low/med/high. Just on/off. Just to note, it uses 14 watts. 4: The manufactures says not to lay on it or it can be damaged. 5: The heat feels no different than any of the other pads we have. Except that it’s not much heat at all. Thermotex markets it as such: “After just 20 minutes of use, the soothing infrared wavelengths penetrate up to 2.36 inches into the applied area.” I believe some infrared might make it through the black cover. But I can feel the cover getting warm, and when I press into the pad I feel more heat. That makes it seem that a lot of the power is just going to heating the pad up, and not emitting infrared light. 6: The heat is very mild. You can hardly feel the heat. I would often check the power switch to make sure I didn’t flip it off. Unfortunately it was always still on. The best way I can describe the heat is when you are up and walking about and you steal your wife’s seat while she goes to get something, it’s that kinda warm, and it’s gone in 30 seconds to a minute. It is not the kinda warm like: I feel like an icepick is lodged in my back and I need the closest thing to burning me to dull the pain for 2 minutes to loosen me up. If you need this kind of quick relief take an old sock and fill it halfway with rice, tie the open end up and microwave it to your desired heat and lay it on/lay on it for 1-2 minutes. Be carful to not burn yourself. Cost is only an old sock, 50 cents of rice, and the power to the microwave. 7: My wife and I don’t find any relief from the Thermotex. Our other pads do a much better job of wrapping around and heating the affected area. 8: It is expensive! I’m no stranger to paying for a premium product. But I expect a premium product to be user friendly, comfortable, and most importantly: work! We found it did not do any of these. I thought it might have a longer lasting affect for deep tissue or bone/joint pain. I’ve had those kind of injuries or pain 3-4 times. Each time I used the Thermotex for multiple days. I feel it caused more discomfort and problems trying to use it then if I had nothing. If I didn’t use it I at least would have been comfortable and been able to relax the whole time. Instead I struggled to get it in the right spot, I was uncomfortable, and I felt no relief. My condition improved once I gave up with the Thermotex pad, took Ibuprofen, stretched, and did mobility exercises for the same period of time as using the pad. Felt much better after that. All that to say, it doesn’t work well and is not worth the money.
