Sharper Image Heated Neck & Shoulder Wrap vs HOTHUGZ Portable Cordless Heating Pad

The Sharper Image wrap is the better pick for deep, weighted, moist-feeling relief at home, especially for people who want aromatherapy and a contoured fit around the neck. The HOTHUGZ is the better pick for moving around the house or traveling, since it runs on a 12V battery with three set temperatures and a 2-hour auto shut-off. The Sharper Image is heavier at about 3.2 lbs and needs a microwave or outlet, while the HOTHUGZ is lighter and cordless but smaller at 12"x24" and limited to dry heat. Owners of microwave wraps like the Sharper Image praise the weighted pressure and scent; battery pad owners value freedom but note shorter, less intense heat.

• Choose the Sharper Image wrap if you want weighted, contoured heat or cold therapy with aromatherapy and don't mind heating it in a microwave.
• Choose the HOTHUGZ if you want cordless, set-temperature heat you can wear while moving around or away from home.
