Electric Heating Pads for Everyday Comfort

Warmth is one of the simplest ways to feel more comfortable after a long day. An electric heating pad is designed to give steady heat to the back, neck and shoulders, so tight muscles feel more relaxed.

Dr. Franklyn's is a Brooklyn, New York family business with more than 25 years of experience in health, wellness, orthopedic support and rehabilitation products. Every product page lists sizes, settings and safety instructions so you can choose with confidence.

Types of Heat Therapy

• Electric heating pad: plugs in and gives steady heat with adjustable settings

• Microwaveable pack: heats in a microwave and loses heat over time

• Moist heat pad: uses damp heat, either from a moist cover or a moist-heat pack

• Wrap or belt: holds heat in place while you move around

Electric Heating Pad for Back Pain

If you want an electric heating pad for back pain, size matters, because a larger pad covers the lower back, shoulders and neck. The Dr. Franklyn's Electric Heating Pad is a large pad with 6 heat settings, an auto-shutoff timer and a soft microplush cover, designed for the back, neck and shoulders.

Heating Pad with Auto Shut-Off

A heating pad with auto shut-off switches itself off after a set time, which adds peace of mind if you fall asleep or forget to turn it off. Check the timer options on the product page, and never rely on the timer alone: follow the instructions and do not leave a pad switched on while unattended.

Heating Pad for Pain Relief

Many people choose a heating pad for pain relief because warmth is intended for temporary relief of muscle tightness and stiffness. Heat does not diagnose or treat the cause of pain. If pain is severe, follows an injury, or does not settle, see a clinician.

Moist Heat Therapy Pad vs. Dry Heat

A moist heat therapy pad uses damp heat, which some people find soaks in more deeply, while dry heat from an electric pad is convenient and easy to adjust. Both are intended for temporary comfort, and the right choice is the one you find comfortable and can use safely.

Heating Pad Safety

• Never lie on a heating pad, and do not use one in bed unless it is designed for that
• Place a layer of clothing or a cover between the pad and your skin
• Do not use on broken or irritated skin, or over creams that produce heat
• Use with care if you have diabetes, nerve damage, reduced sensation, or a circulation problem
• Ask your doctor first if you are pregnant, have an implanted electronic device, or have recently had surgery
• Follow the product instructions on session length and settings, and stop if your skin feels too hot or looks red

Getting the Right Fit

Choose a pad large enough to cover the area you want to warm. Check the size and cord length on the product page, and make sure you can reach an outlet where you will sit or lie down.

Heat and Cold Work Together

Many people use heat for stiff muscles and cold after activity. See our cold therapy products for ice and gel packs. For back support during the day, browse our back braces, and for longer sitting, a supportive cushion. You can also explore our infrared and light therapy and massage and percussion products, designed to support comfort and recovery.
