Heat pads are great for keeping warm, but their real advantage is how beneficial they are for pain relief. Heat is a really effective way of soothing pain because it increases circulation, blocks pain receptors in the brain, and helps to reduce inflammation. Best of all, it’s medication-free so no need for a prescription, no side effects, and no chance of becoming addicted (though you will want to keep using it because it works so well!).
The new range of heat pads from Sweet Dreams has something for whatever aches and pains you have, whether it’s arthritis in your feet or knees, frozen shoulder, back pain, or menstrual cramps, you will find an effective way of managing it here.
Heat pad for neck, shoulder, or back pain
The Sweet Dreams Lower Back Electric Heat Pad Wrap ticks a lot of boxes. Starting with a high collar, sweeping around the neck and shoulders, and extending down to the lower back, will help soothe pain in all of these areas.
The advantages of using a product like this, rather than just applying heat gel or using a hot water bottle, including that it will stay securely in place, it has direct contact with a large area of your body so delivers targeted relief, it offers consistent, controllable heat, and it even feels like a lovely, warm hug.
It’s also great for just keeping you warm and that can mean you rely less on the central heating, which could save you money (all heat pads are very energy efficient so cost only pennies to run).

Heat pad for aching feet
Our feet can often be the first area of the body that experiences pain. We walk around on them all day, they are the furthest away from our hearts which can lead to poor circulation and complex joints so can suffer from arthritic pain. A heated foot warmer is the perfect solution. Simply place your aching feet inside and let the soothing warmth spread over and around them. They come with two washable fleece inserts to allow you to keep them clean and the controls are really easy to use.
Don’t worry about nodding off while using one either (there’s nothing more conducive to restful slumber than cosy, warm feet), as it comes with an automatic 90-minute cut-off and overheat protection so it’s always perfectly safe to use.

Heat pads for multiple areas of the body
If you are looking for heat pads that are versatile enough to be used on various areas of the body, flat heat pads or heated cushions could be just the thing.
Flat heat pads can be used on almost any part of the body. They are flexible so can be wrapped around a knee or your shoulders, placed underfoot, held to your stomach or laid underneath your back or shoulders. If you experience pain but not always in one specific area, this is a really good choice. The Sweet Dreams range includes two flat heat pads in different sizes (30x40cm – great for travelling or for smaller areas) or 50x38cm (great for covering larger areas).
Heated cushions can offer some comfort as well as heat. While they can’t be wrapped around as the flat heat pads can, they can be placed under the head or feet or held to your stomach, and they can be especially beneficial for backs where the depth of the cushion supports the arch of your back. Choose from a smaller one at 40x30cm or an XL one at 60x40cm.
