The Product The Dreamland Heatpad, made by the well-known electric blanket manufacturers, can be picked up for around £15 from various department stores and electrical shops, as well as online stores such as amazon. I believe mine was bought from Argos, where it's currently selling for £15.98. Why I Bought It Well, technically, I didn't. I actually received it as a gift, but before you start thinking how disappointed you'd be to receive this as a gift, I'll just mention that I did actually request it! Whilst I generally get far too hot far too easily (I was always the one at school who still had her jumper tied round her ...  Read the complete review

Having Arthritis and some muscle problems I find heat relieves the pain and helps me relax a little bit more. I have in the past used a Wheat bag and a hot water bottle to relieve my pain until I spotted this heat pad and I decided to buy it to see if it would be much easier to use than a hot water bottle etc. It is kind of like a mini electric blanket. Comes inside a cardboard box. On the front of the box is a picture of a woman holding the pad around her waist. I was pleasantly surprised how large this pad actually was when I saw the closer picture on the box. I bought it from Argos and it doesn't look as large on the picture in the catalogue. It was folded ...  Read the complete review

A few months back my partner was suffering with chronic toothache which had him clutching onto his face. Whilst waiting for treatment the pain was unbearable, and pain killers just weren't even touching the pain. I decided to have a look in Boots to see if there was anything that would give him some relief so he would be able to rest and sleep. After scouring the shelves looking for anything that would provide relief, I came across the Dreamland Therapeutic Heat Pad. I had used one of these before, and knew they were good, and could imagine how useful it would be. For £20, I thought this was a reasonable and fair price, and I wasted no time in purchasing ...  Read the complete review

Whilst I have been taking precautions not to hit December with a horrendous cold now rather than two weeks before Christmas like I did last year, my mum has also been spurned into action when a letter arrived at home from our local doctor surgery reminding her to get her yearly flu injection. Historically, the flu injection has not been met with success in our family generally. My father used to get ill days after when it was administered to him, and my mother feels tired after she gets the jab. This time however, the flu jab took on a different symptom, which has developed rheumatism that is abundantly painful from the way my mum cradles her arm like a ...  Read the complete review

When we first moved here to Llandudno I was full time carer first to my dad who had Alzheimer's disease and then to my mom who had Vascular Dementia. As well as being ill they were both also getting older with the aches and pains that brought. Dad also suffered from arthritis too which caused him a lot of discomfort. A friend of theirs suggested that I might like to get a heat pad as it would be good for the aches and pains and also be comforting and stop them getting too agitated. Suffering as they did with dementia they would both get quite worked up when they had an aches or pains so this sounded like a really good idea. Dave and I took a look ...  Read the complete review
