I bought the massage Lounge Topper as gift for may parents in Virginia. They were both complaining about back pain and discomfort, especially my father. I knew they had a recliner and was glad to find out that there was such a thing made especially for it. They love it,can't keep Daddy off of it. Mother has to wait until he goes outside so she can use it. They use it on the couch or on the bed, oh they think they're in heaven. Thank you Brookstone for such a great product.

I bought this product for my 87 year old grandfather - he loves it. It helps with his arthritis and other aches and pains. It is easy to use, the heat is a great feature and fits perfectly on his chair.

I gave the full seat topper to my mother and the topper sans leg message to her partner (both in their 80s). They love them! My mom has leg and back problems and says the message and heat really help her. Her partner uses his both in the car and in the house. The only thing I can say is "wrong" with them is that both my mom and her partner would like to keep the heat and message on longer! My son tried both toppers out before we gave them as Christmas presents and is definitely getting one for his office.
I would highly recommend this product

We use this product to massage muscles after a workout and also my husband has arthritis in his neck, shoulder and lower back. The heat and massage help ease the stiffness in these problem areas. It conforms to his recliner chair unlike others that do not fit properly.

Works best in a recliner so that you can take full advantage of the leg message.

The size (width and length) was great! I purchased this as a gift for my father, who is very tall.
However, the vibration was very weak. While it was soothing, I didn't think it would do much good actually relaxing tense muscles. I have another Brookstone version that is stronger, which I prefer.
This topper is good but not great!

This product is extremely versatile and does the job, but I was hoping for a more than a vibrating massage. I would have preferred a deep penetrating massage. The heating element is a nice touch and works great! Overall, I would recommend it, but if you're looking for a deep massaging tool, this is not the one for you.
Buy one for everyone in the family!

Would not necessarily recommend
By A Baker

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
The cushion part of this product is of excellent quality and has a great cushion. HOWEVER, the "massaging" part of this product was very disappointing. All it does is vibrate - lightly. My seven year old provides a better back massage than this product. If you are looking for a gentle vibration massage then this product is for you. I was looking for something more pronouced by way of the massage provided and this product fell short.

This is nice and works well on my recliner. I wish it had the shiatsu function, but it's still very nice. I take it off the recliner when I'm not using it because it feels a bit odd sitting on top of it when its not on. The heat function is a nice feature even though you can't use it without the massage.

The product is a little too noisy, which was not expected. 20 minutes use is not long enough and it would be better if there is a timer built-in.

This massager just vibrates and doesn't produce enough the desired effect of a real massage. I used it a few times and my skin felt tingly but my muscles were still tense.

I bought this product for my husband, who suffers from a work injury. This has improved his comfort level quite a bit, is portable and feels wonderful ( I've tried it myself). The massage levels are good, you can fell it on the whole body, the heat is penetrating the muscles and it is overall a wonderful product. Thank you.

Its very easy to use but if you want an intense professional massage, this would not be for you, this is more for relaxing in front of the television. It has vibration and heat mode so its great for a little loosening up of muscles.

I ordered this item specifically for the heat function which turned out to be quite poor. I can barely feel it. I was very disappointed and don't consider this product worth the money I paid for it. In addition the massage control is mis-programmed so if I want to activate a specific area I have to use the incorrect button.

I bought this for my dad because he didn't have room for a massage chair (full sized) and those can be expensive. This cushion lays on top of his favorite recliner and gives him a good massage. My mom likes the heated function when its coldin the winter. The quality is really good and the remote is easy to use.
