Get — and stay — cozy and comfy with these heating pads, wraps and blankets. (Photo: Amazon)
Winter is headed our way. Its blustery winds, snow, sleet and freezing temps make for a mindset where getting and staying warm is everything. And even though most of us live in adequately heated homes, you can still find yourself a little nippy even while ensconced on the couch. Then, of course, there are those of us who battle aches, pains and stiffness who could use a little heat therapy. Lucky us, then, that today Amazon added Pure Enrichment heating products to its early Black Friday deals and today only, you can get up to 50% off heating pads and weighted blankets — just in time for the coziest season!
You love having your couch situated near a window so as to enjoy the view...but you're not crazy about the upper-body chilliness that results, right? Or maybe long hours on your laptop invariably wreak havoc on your shoulders, neck and back. Here's your salvation. It's a vest-like pad that you actually wear (it secures in front with an elastic belt, keeping you snug and ensuring that the heat (adjustable via four settings) is form-fitted to the areas that need relief the most.
"This is great," said one now-relieved reviewer. "I have arthritis in my neck and muscle spasms in my shoulder and have been frustrated that most heating pads don’t put heat at the shoulders.... It is flexible, wraps over the shoulders just where I need it."
Do we really need to extol the lovely, elusive pleasure of warm feet? No, we don't. We do, however, need to trumpet the brilliance of this electric sherpa-lined foot warmer. Featuring four heat settings and able to accommodate even a size 13 men's dogs, it's hard to say where therapy ends and decadence begins with this ingenious invention. So we'll just say it's awesome and would make a terrific gift.
"This thing is heavenly!" said one lucky lady. "My husband bought this for me for Christmas in an attempt to relieve my eternally freezing feet.... As soon as I slipped my feet into [it] I could tell it was completely different from anything I've ever tried. The inside feels like the softest, warmest cloud you can imagine...the sensation is nothing but pure relaxation.... probably the best gift I've ever received."
In case you haven't noticed, we've been going from small to large in our survey of Pure Enrichment products. And here's the most substantial of them all — a 50" × 60" weighted blanket. It's like peanut butter and jelly: Once you've experienced the combined effect of four heat levels and 13 pounds of glass-bead pressure, you won't be able to imagine how you used an electric or weighted blanket on its own.
"From its soft feel to its gentle weight and powerful warming, this blanket is the coziest thing ever created," said one comfy customer. "The weight distribution is perfect — you don't feel any 'bits' in the blanket, either from the weights...or the heating elements.... he perfect gift for this time of year!"
