- Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2025Style: UnscentedVerified PurchaseWe have had this warmer for years. It is so great and easy to use. Just pop it in the microwave for a few minutes and it stays warm for a long time! I use this all the time when I'm achy and pregnant, and it is so comforting. It isn't super big, enough to wrap around my lower back, but I only want it for certain spots anyway. We have had it for years and it still warms great!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2025Style: UnscentedVerified PurchaseI love these rice filled heat packs. I ordered this as a replacement for an identical one that turned up missing. As expected, these work great with just a couple of minutes of Microwave heating. This eased some neck and back pain that I have been experiencing.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2016Style: UnscentedVerified PurchaseI have owned the original bed buddy for about 18+ years. It finally developed a few holes and of course the packing material began leaking out. I found this new design and I hesitated to buy it based on the poor ratings by some of the reviewers. Finally I purchased it and I am glad I did.
This newer design is different but still good. I am a big man and I use the bed buddy on my neck, shoulders and biceps. This new one still fits around my neck. It does have two channels filled with the same type of filler as the original bed buddy and it works just as well. In our medium strength microwave we have to heat this new one at 2 minutes and 30 seconds to 3 minutes which is identical to the original one we had. The new one stays warm for almost as long as the original and the only difference is that perhaps the original had more filler in it.
The original came with a cotton tube that the bed buddy fits into to help keep it cleaner. Fortunately when I threw away the old bed buddy last week I saved the tube and it fits the new bed buddy perfectly. I do wish the new one came with the tube as it keeps the bed buddy cleaner and it also helps to protect you from possible burns if the bed buddy is to hot or has hot spots from your microwave.
If the original bed buddy was a 5 star product, and in my opinion it was, then this one is at least a 4 star. It works the same, heats as well and smells like fresh baked bread just like to original. It also fits my big neck to help relieve sore muscles after working out with weights. I can't tell the difference in the length between the original and this one but the new one is slightly shorter, a couple of inches at most. This new one is still flexible and wraps easily around your body. The new dual tube design helps keep the filling material more evenly distributed along the length of the entire bed buddy which is a benefit. The older design tended to get spots where there was no filler in certain areas, like the middle, based upon how it wrapped around my neck. The only real negative for me is the lack of the original bed buddy tube for the outside.
I like this product and I gave it a 4 star. I am happy that I purchased it and I will buy another one. It is the best product I have found for my stiff arthritic neck and I recommend it for that problem. It is ideal for stiff muscles or just warming up and loosening up your body.
Just a couple of warnings. I see that people want to wash the bed buddy. Don't do it. Take a large tube sock and put the bed buddy in it and heat it that way. It stays cleaner, as the bed buddy doesn't touch your skin, and you can remove the sock and wash the sock to get it clean and put it back onto the bed buddy.
I see where people want to wet the bed buddy and heat it for moist heat. ABSOLUTELY NOT! It takes 9 times the energy to make steam as it does to boil water. You risk severe burns if you wet the bed buddy and then heat it. In addition you will damage the product by damaging the filler material.
I liked this product so much that I have now purchased 2 more. I gave one to my 90 year old mother in law and 87 year old father in law and I gave one to my son for his back!
Every time I go over to see my in laws, one of them is using the bed buddy. They love it!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2025Style: UnscentedVerified PurchaseWell made. Handles are a bonus! Cannot live without our rice bags! Helps with sore muscles and headaches! If your cold just heat up and warms you right up. I microwave for about a minute and half max I belive in a 1000 watt microwave. You don't want to overheat so I heated up a short time first to make sure I didn't over heat.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2017Style: UnscentedVerified PurchaseI have not yet used it as a Cold Pack, so I cannot comment on that, but I have used it several times as a heat pack, and here are the pros & cons:
Pros:
+ Much faster & easier* to heat than the gel packs that I just purchased. Because it is made of natural materials it will not explode the way gel packs can (if accidentally overheated).
+ Good length (20” + 2 x 3” Handles = 26”) = plenty long enough to wrap around your neck, arm, calf, or you can drape it over a shoulder or over your stomach. I like draping mine over my bad shoulder then reclining on a pillow; the added pressure helps the heat work better.
+ Great price means it’s much more affordable than gel packs.
+ Heat lasts 20 min. or longer, depending upon how long it is heated.
+ It has a naturally moist-heat sensation, which I really enjoy because it penetrates.
+ Handles allow you to adjust the placement perfectly.
Cons:
– The filling ([brown?] rice and buckwheat?) gives it an earthy, wheaty/nutty smell once warmed. Some may not be able to smell this.
– You are not supposed to use it as a heat pack over your eyes.
– The handles are pliable but coarse, would have preferred a softer material.
* Heating Directions (as appearing on the tag): Place in microwave for 1 minute & 15 seconds. If additional warmth is desired, continue microwaving in 15 second intervals - not to exceed 2 minutes total heating time per use. And Remember to lay it flat on a plate before heating.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2025Style: LavenderVerified PurchaseI just used this product for the first time. Very easy to use. Stayed warm quite a while. Smells nice. I haven't tried freezing it yet but I suspect it'll be just as good.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2025Style: UnscentedVerified Purchasegot this for my wife on valentines day last year, we heated according to directions that say 90s. results in good heat, but a nasty strong burnt smell. other directions on amazon site say 50s for 900w microwave. unfortunately that does not produce enough heat. we did not try the directions that say heat up to 2.5 min - afraid it will fill whole house with burnt smell. my wife likes the warmth, but not the smell. plan to replace with another brand this valentines day due to smell and it's not even 1 year old.
