My physiotherapist certain that my neck needs warmth. Unfortunately, I am much too clamped (small children, household ... - you know that) to lie down in the afternoon with warm cushion on the couch. So I started looking for an alternative that warms my neck and allowed me the same, to do my daily work. The Medi-scarf is ideal for this purpose, because once turned over, it does not slip. It also makes little noise (ie no crackling or this "rattle", have the Kirschkernkissen per se). He retains heat really well, so that one is actually warmed about two hours. The inlay has three chambers, so that the grains well spread evenly, without "gaps". You do not agree to the terms of heating, but I have found that the inlay during heating related releases moisture to the same, which in turn is not as comfortable on the neck. If you remove the reference when heated, it somehow remains "dry". The cover is washable by hand wash cuddly soft and at 30 °. I would buy the Medi-scarf definitely be back and will certainly give him for Christmas.
