uninviting and uncomfortable
This warmer needs weight on it to work and transmits heat to areas of highest pressure. IE chest, belly and knees. Which got very uncomfortable very fast on lowest heat setting.
Stores heat until you are on it which means the table felt cold (74 degrees according to their info sheet inside) when you first get on, not warm or inviting.
I found this made a cushy table feel hard, even with a pad over it.

Buyer Beware
I tried this and was shocked how much I hated this product. Read the product description carefully and you will see all of my complaints spelled out for you there.
1.) Transmits heat based on pressure on it. When you first get on the table no mater how long the warmer has been on it feels cold. Pressure points = warmer points. Do you really want a client with hot knees, bellies and breasts? I sure don't.
2.) Inconsistent temperature. Starts cold but gets hot (at least in spots). The clients weight has more to do with warmth sensation than the temperature setting.
3.) Made a cushy table feel hard. Has a gel like feel in that water can not be compressed. It additional padding was very clearly necessary very quickly. Even adding a mattress pad felt like my mattress pad was laid on over cement. Note:a pad over did not help distribute the heat in a noticeable way.
This product was out of the bag for less than a day and most of that time was variations trying to figure out how to make it work.
Buyer Beware: Massage warehouse was very gracious in taking my return and I appreciate them for that. Their policy is that soil able items may not be returned, so try it at your own risk.

Best Table warmer out there
I have had one of these on my table for 10 years! It has lasted through oil spills and being left on over night. It still keeps going. It adds a layer of padding without the bulk of a fleece and the client can't feel the coils, just the awesome over all warmth.
