MaxKare 24"x40" Extra Large Heating Pad with 4 Heat Settings & Auto Shut-off, Eletric Heating Pad, Green & White

I am in love with this heating pad! I have 3 bulging disks in my neck and pinched nerves in my lower back which causes sciatica problems. It has buttons on the collar and 2 very generous straps around the waist to tailor the fit to your body. It's very comfortable and the heat comes on immediately. It could be even more amazing if it was cordless and if the remote had more than 1 button on the controller. I keep it on low (setting %231, it's more than enough heat for me); when I want to turn it off, I have to press the button through all the cycles (2, 3, 4, and once more to turn it off). Don't make a mistake because you can't go back; you just have to keep pushing the one button until you reach your desired level. Also, the connection is on the lower back right side (it's not shown in the marketing photo) so depending on which chair you're sitting in, you may feel it . My elderly mother would love this but because it's not cordless, I'm afraid that she may get up to grab something from the kitchen or go to the bathroom and be pulled back by the cord (in the outlet) and may injure herself. Even if she did remember to unplug it, the bending down to unplug it may be too much for her. Overall, I love it! Please make a cordless version!
