The Bed Buddy 2-Pack consists of two flexible wraps filled with 100% natural grains, including wheat and flaxseed. These packs operate via latent heat release, absorbing microwave energy and releasing it as moist heat. The chassis is engineered with reinforced double-stitching on the perimeter to prevent grain leakage, allowing the pack to wrap comfortably around small-radius joints like wrists and ankles.
Specifications indicate that these packs are dual-use; they can be stored in the freezer for cold therapy as well as heated in the microwave. The "buddy" shape offers a high conformity index, meaning it adjusts easily to different body parts. However, the therapeutic heat window is typically 15 to 20 minutes, which is shorter than some clay-bead alternatives.
- Fill: Natural, dust-filtered grain blend for reduced odor.
- Maintenance: Integrated sleeve; non-washable due to organic contents.
- Safety: Requires a rotating microwave turntable to prevent fabric scorching.
To extend the service life of the grains and prevent "hydration exhaustion," it is helpful to place a half-cup of water in the microwave alongside the pack. This helps maintain the moisture content within the husks. Over time, users may notice a "toasted grain" smell, which is a normal result of the repeated heating of organic materials.
If you find the 2-pack too small for your needs, the Sacksy Thyme 12x7 inch pad provides a larger surface area for back or leg applications.
