I'm a 6' tall guy, stocky build with broad shoulders. I don't imagine I'm the "typical" user for a product like this, but I like it so far. This does a great job getting right underneath my shoulder blades, has a strong vibration, and heats up much more than adequate. It is on the borderline of being too intense and I don't know how someone with diagnosed back problems would like it. I'm hoping the overbuilt nodes and the fixed position will lead to a longer product life, but the 15-minute timer and warning that a longer duration or use with a blanket could lead to overheating aren't reassuring.
Using it in a wooden dining room chair with a curved back which is against manufacturers recommendations (it might scratch the wood). Don't know how you'd use the chair for normal tasks because the unit takes up a good 4-5 inches on the seat and the cushion was an afterthought. But, this suits me because it has a chair, it stays in a chair, and I actually use it more often. Have one just for the neck and it was just awkward to use while lounging, however, I've considered using the two together. Will gauge this cushion a little longer before adding something else.
I want to take off a star, but not because of the product:
One of the customer questions mentioned a screw, that's removed from a flap on the back... I couldn't find either and the zippers were turned inwards -- like users weren't supposed to open the thing up. The flaps on the box were wrong, which indicated to me that the product may have been returned as new. The remote had signs of wear and there wasn't one of those plastic covers over the face, again telling me it was returned.
Conclusion:
It dropped in price and they also are offering a coupon. I wouldn't have picked it up at the MSRP (~$180), but am very glad to have the product. I'll update if it gives me any issues. It's a 5-star product and I'd be completely satisfied if I didn't suspect it was repackaged. Maybe give it a try in a store to see if it would work for you, i.e. hits the right points and is at an appropriate height. If so, don't hesitate to buy.
