(More customer reviews)I purchased this "Back Wedge With Massage" pillow as a Christmas present for my girlfriend. Now... I've bought a lot of Christmas presents in my lifetime.I like giving gifts.It's what really makes the holidays something special for me. Ideally, a good gift should make a lasting impression on the recipient; something to remember that Christmas by... and in that regard the "Back Wedge With Massage" passed with flying colors.
In all fairness, I probably should have read the product description a little more thoroughly.If I had read "Requires 4 AA batteries (not included)", I probably would have passed on the massage feature, because in my experience, battery power does not provide adequate run-time for something like a therapeutic massage.For that, you really want something you can plug into the wall. But I didn't notice that the pillow required 4 AA batteries, so I blithely ordered the product, never for a moment imagining what was about to befall our quaint, traditional family Christmas.
The model of the "Back Wedge With Massage" that I received, despite the product description listed here, actually required 2 C-cell batteries, not 4 AA.We found this out when my girlfriend, having unwrapped her present and (looking at me somewhat quizzically), asked what the round plastic cap on the side of the pillow was all about.
"That's where the batteries go for the massage feature" I said confidently. "I think you just take that cap off, and put the batteries in."
She then tried to unscrew the cap, and in the process managed to pull the entire massage "Unit" out of the "Back Wedge With Massage".It's easy enough to do.It slides right out.
"Unit" is a good word with which to label the electrical device employed in the design of this particular "Back Wedge With Massage". To describe it clinically, one would say that it is a smooth, beige, plastic tube.It's about the length of a standard flashlight, rounded on one end, with the diameter equivalent to a C-cell battery, and it vibrates when switched on.A smooth, rounded tube that vibrates.
It helps to keep that image in mind, my girlfriend holding the "Unit" in one hand like a candle, as it vibrates. It's that image that helps explain why I was convulsing with hysterical laughter over what I had just given my girlfriend for Christmas.
As for the pillow, the "Unit" is simply not long enough to provide a good massage.When the "Unit" is slid back into the pillow and switched on, the vibration is felt only on one side of the pillow, not throughout the whole back surface area.If the design included two "Units", one on either side, the massage experience would be improved somewhat, and I would also prefer 110vAC over battery power.Otherwise, the pillow seems fairly well made, is a good shape, provides a comfortable support against the headboard, and as a bonus it includes a convenient storage receptacle for long, cylindrically shaped objects.
