QUALITY heating pad needed; any ideas?
My wife uses a heating pad almost every day (various arthritis related stuff), and every heating pad we've ever bought has used the 'standard' nichrome spiral wire heating element. They \*all\* die within a year. Some have had failed controllers, but most die due to the nichrome wire fatiguing and breaking near the cord connection point (high stress, high flex frequency area). The longest lived ones have actually been some of the cheapest, but they're stiff and not very comfortable. We've had a couple of the 'Pure' branded ones with their 5 year warranty, but even they have failed within a year or two. Dealing with warrantees is sometimes worse than just buying another pad.
Does anyone know of a heating pad that uses graphene as the actual heating element? Most ads I see talk about graphene 'infused', which hints to me that it's just marketing.
