Can this be used in a sitting position between my back and a chair? Some heating pads caution they are not to be leaned against.

It says in the precautions to put it on top of not under the area needing heat.

The packaging text contained no caution that the pad could not be leaned against.

Sorry Pauline Instructions says not to lean on pad.It works well lying on your back though with face down.

I did, with no ill effects. Mostly I laiy on it. I actually bought two of them at the same time, and within 6 months both quit working.

oh yes. I have a leather couch and it's always plugged in and ready. I use it when sitting in my office chair as well, I also sometimes lay on it on the couch

Yes, I bought it as a gift for my daughter-in-law and she has lots of kidney infections and she uses it between a chair and her lower back while watching TV. She loves it!

No because it lays flat on a surface. It would be unstable beyond a sitting position or laid flat.

I haven't used it lying down but have used it in low chairs. If you were to put it up against something so it wouldn't slide away from you, you could probably use it lying down. When I use a low chair it slides away from me as I pedal, so I have to secure it against something. Pedaling it in a high chair works best for me.

When I sit in mine the side and back walls to get hot, not instantly burn you hot but, if you rest your back on them for a few seconds it does become uncomfortable. I did find the most effective way to use this is to put a heavy towel over the head hole and sit Indian style inside the sauna with the foot heater in between your feet and rear. The odor will dissipate over time but it becomes more pronounced when in use.

No, it's pretty bulky and uncomfortable to even put in a chair behind you and leaning back on it..you'd have to lay on your stomach and put on your back. I had the best luck using it on my hip as I cut put it beside me fairly comfortably.

It is flat. I lay on mine all the time & put behind me while sitting in a chair. Can't say I've ever sat on it but I suppose you could without any problems. I love it -- it's a great heating pad.

Yes. You can turn on the heat in either the lumbar or seat region or both without turning on the vibration. You can also use the vibration at the select intensity you wish with or without heat and where you want it. Both my husband and I use this and we've used it a lot in the past year. Still works great!

I would say yes. Although it does not throw a lot of heat very far. If you are sitting 3 to 4 feet under it you can feel it. It is not intended to heat large areas.

Unless I missing something with my chair, it does not recline far enough. The way it is designed, it's better used as a working chair. I would not recommend it for relaxing.

The heating pad is a U shape pad. Don't think it will stay wrapped around the neck.

I would not - the vibration is too strong/noise-y and they do not recommend that you have the heat against you for a long time. Not to mention, it's like a cushion, so it would be like trying to sleep on a little square cushion that is too loud and hot.

It has 2 positions about 45 and 70 degrees. It might be possible to usei laying nearly flat, but I would use my wireless keyboard.

No, the unit has a round back, and is about 4 inches thick. Lying on it would not be comfortable. Also, it is made of plastic - lying on it could break it. I would not recommend this product (it doesn't give off much heat anyway). You would be better off getting a heating pad. Good luck.

I don't think it would be good for the heating pad's wiring to fold it up like that . . . it's a pretty substantial pad and keeping it folded would be awkward, too. If the main use is going to be on your neck, I'd recommend buying a smaller heating pad.

Not exactly. You can easily lean back on the back rest cushion with your legs stretched out in the middle though. You can definitely use it for sunbathing, just not in fully horizontal position....unless you are really short. ;)

Due to the size and thickness of the unit it may not be comfortable to sit in bed and lean on it while its in use. Sit in a chair is the best position to use in my opionon. Good luck

The underside is a thick vinyl or plastic but on top of it is a 2 inch thing removable cushion. So Im not sure a heating pad would do a ton through that. But I am hesitant with electric heating pads as is and it would be pretty confined in this. I personally would not use one in it. Maybe a hot water heating pat would be better.
