This is an interesting product, the exact likes of which I have not come across before. The Ice Pack is a fabric constructed gel filled product that you can pop in the freezer (or the fridge if you don't want it too cold) and it's large enough to apply to your entire back, or legs etc. The pad can be used either warm or cool but we only need the cooling effect. I was particularly impressed with the build quality as the pad is very well sewn with piping around the edges and every area I inspected was to a high standard. Thoughtfully the manufacturer has put a plush soft fabric on one side which allows for a more gentle cooling effect - the other side is smooth nylon and that transmits the cold much more directly. Supplied with the pad is an insulated drawstring bag which obviously can be used to store the pad, or as a simple insulated bag for any purpose. We popped the pad into the freezer for a few hours. My concern was that when the pad was frozen and taken out that it would not be easy to bend/fold but actually it works superbly well. There are three lines of plastic 'studs' that mean there's an area that's foldable as it is thinner than the rest of the pad. We had no problems with placing and moulding the pad to the body because of this. The pad stayed cold for several hours which was also impressive. Instructions are permanently printed on the nylon side of the pad. This is an excellent product and it will be used by myself and my wife. I tend to get an 'iffy' back now and again and I think that my wife will use it on her legs more. I am sure the pad will have many more usage possibilities that we will discover in the future... it could even be handy for taking out when shopping to cover some of the food shopping bags an keep the contents cool until we get home etc. For under £24 this is a good buy because of the quality of the product, the addition of the insulated bag and the fact that the pad has been well designed and works very well. Highly delighted with it.
The weight of the professionally printed box indicated to me that this was a substantial treatment ‘blanket’ – and it certainly is. At 60 cm x 38cm filled with gel it feels significant and substantial. I consider the overall gel filled blanket looks like it has been made from top class material and very well made. I am impressed that it can be used as a ‘Heat’ blanket or ‘Ice Cool’ blanket. So after cooling it in the fridge for a few hours I have used it for the cold experience. On one side the surface is luxuriously soft almost velvet like material and that is the side that I placed on my back so it felt amazingly soft resting over my whole back as I lay on top of the bed. And the weight of the blanket and the coolness that came through and across my back felt really soothing on my old frame. The other side is a smooth nylon material which again felt okay on my skin but it allows a much colder experience on the back. I personally prefer the thicker velvet less cold side. I will try heating the blanket carefully in the microwave and using as a ‘heat’ treatment experience but do like the cold experience. I like the fact that the flexible blanket can easily be folded and left in the fridge without it taking up too much space and it is ready at an instant for me to use on my back so that really is great. It apparently can also be stored in the freezer as the gel will not freeze hard so that also is a bonus if at any time my back ache needs more intense cold treatment. I was impressed by the fact that there is also a draw-string insulated carrier bag supplied free with the pack. And in conclusion it helped ease the aches and pains in my old back. I like it.
I think it is one of those products that, maybe not today, but one day you will need. Whether there are children, teenagers, adults or elderly people at home, it is easy for any of us to have some kind of pain, whether it is a blow, a contracture, or even a burn (cold blanket)! This blanket is quite simple aesthetically, it doesn't need a sophisticated exterior design. I guess it's on the inside that there will be more to it. It is a rectangle in which each side is made of a material, one softer than the other. The instructions, printed on the blanket to avoid losing them (a positive point) explain what to use each side for, depending on whether we want to feel more or less cold/warm. In general it is well made and quite rigid as it is a hard fabric, but it allows some flexibility to adjust to the curves, for example for the neck, shoulders, etc... It is very easy to use, either cold (freezing) or hot (heating at short intervals), supporting or surrounding the area to be treated. For cold we may have used products such as frozen peas, with this pad we save ourselves from getting wet and having to throw those peas away if we defrost them many times. To cool it we will not have too much problem as the freezers are usually large. To heat it up we may have more problems. The blanket is quite big, which is good for its use but not so good if we have to put it in a small microwave. We will have to fold it, making each zone heat up in a different way. The package also includes an insulated carrying bag.

David Davies –
It's very useful and working – It's OK does work
Fingers –
Not as the tin said. – Did not stay cold for more than 20 mins. A bag of peas would be better.
Dodster –
Very large – Ideal if you are needing a large ice pack to cover a big body part. Moulds well to curves of body. Very large to put in the freezer, so you need the space in the freezer for it, but if this is only a temp measure while recovering from an injury then this probably won't be a problem. It is quite heavy to handle so not so good for an older person.

Big enough to cover most body parts.0 – This arrived in perfect condition. This extra large ice pack is big enough to cover most body parts. Even when it's frozen, it's still pliable, so it doesn't need to take up much room in your freezer as it can be folded. It's one of those things that you think you won't need it, until you do, then you'll be glad that you have it.

Large natural heat and cold pain relief blanket with useful insulated string bag – For those of us who are quite tall with longish limbs many of the ice and heat packs in use are just too small. This fills that space and can be used for heat as well as cold therapy. I was once given a useful guideline: For natural pain relief use ice and heat packs. Ice is nice for acute or new injuries Heat is neat for stiffness and muscle spasms Combine is fine to break the pain-spasm cycle This pack has a number of variations dependent on your individual needs. There is even more specific suggestions on the blanket. The velvety fabric side to your body offers cold and the nylon side offers a more intense cold. You microwave the gel packs in stages to get to the required heat. No need to remember these as they are on the ice / heat pack/ blanket itself. It is helpful to have the string bag that is insulated to keep contents cold and as a cover in the freezer before this if helpful. Or just as a storage bag and carrier. Just like the blanket well made and finished. This blanket easily folds into quarters to fit into the freezer or microwave. It is easy to wrap around and cover a large surface area. If you need it to stay in place when not horizontal you will need to find a way to strap this round. This blanket offers a versatile way to deal with pain naturally and cover a large area of the body. Recommended as a useful, storable item to have as part of your medicine cupboard and / or sports kit.
Trashpanda –
Great size – This is a great size and I love it for my back pain. One thing though is to warm up it says 30 secs then 10 second intervals. But this is so big you would be there for ages doing that. I've been doing 1 min then 30 second intervals, changing the fold every 30 seconds

Very large! – I had a chiropractic gel mat which I kept in the freezer for my back when it ached. Sadly this started to leak so I had to get rid of it. This does an even better job as it doesn't need to be wrapped in a cloth before applying it to your body. It is easy to bend to fit over knees or apply to your bak. It covers a large area so you don't have to keep moving it to reach different parts of your back. The other benefit of this is that it can not only be used as a cold pack but also a warm pack too. This is great for period pains as it helps relieve those when warmed. You can apply it to your tummy or lower back depending on where you get the worst period pains. It has clear instructions and comes in a box tokeep it safe.

Great idea, easy to use, helps me to reduce the pain. – This reusable extra large ice pack - 60 x 38cm is quite heavy as it weights approx. 1.7kg. Arrived boxed with free insulated drawstring backpack. To be effective it should be kept in the freezer or fridge. If kept in the fridge for longer, the pad is colder and keeps the cold for longer. It is covered in the soft fabric, so it is pleasant for the skin. I usually use it cooled for 2 hours in the fridge as I don't have any space in freezer. It stays cold for long. I use it on my back as I have problem with arm and upper back pain. This cold compress eases the pain significantly, especially when on the affected areas. It can be also used as a warm compress, just has to be heated in the microwave, but for my pain cold compress works better. All instructions how to use it are printed on the gel pack itself and on the box. Great idea, easy to use, helps me to reduce the pain, just because of the size sometimes it is difficult to squeeze it into the fridge. Works well, resonably priced for the size, so I would happily recommend it. It is the biggest cold pack I have.

Good size – This is a good size to use on your back or leg and can be moulded to suit your leg if needed.

Chapel’s Dad –
A very effective hot/cold gel pack set – This is the largest gel pack that I’ve come across, although the ‘headline’ for this item is “Reusable Extra Large Ice Pack for Back & Legs (60x38 cm) - Cold Blanket for Recovery - Flexible Gel from Freezer & Extra-Soft Fabric - Sports Injuries, Pain Relief and Cold Therapy” - you can actually use it for ‘heat treatment’. Getting this ready for ‘cold treatment’ is simple, it just goes into your fridge or freezer for a couple of hours before applying it. A bit of care is required for the heat treatment though as you need to zap it in the microwave for 30 seconds, if it is not warm enough then you can zap it again for 10 seconds at a time – if the pack starts to bulge then you must stop to let it cool off. They have incorporated a fleecy side to the pack for comfort. This is a very effective hot/cold gel pack set, it is large enough to cover most of your back so will help to sooth injuries to large areas of the body. I’m happy with this and can recommend.
Things And Stuff –
Fantastic. – Really easy to use. I find it really helps with some of my worst back aches, if I lie on my front with this on my back.
Chris –
These packs are brilliant – These are so good when you have a bad back, it makes me a bit nervous heating them because my microwave is so small it catches on the sides, but I love having this on the back of the sofa in the evening. Another use that I read in another review that I'm excited about trying is freezing it and then using it under my pillow in the summer, who doesn't like the cold side of a pillow?
Bethany B. –
Hot and cold pain relief – This is a large gel pack which you can use both hot and cold therapy. The gel pack is cool to the touch without any action being necessary, but it chills down quickly when placed in a freezer for a couple of hours and can be left there overnight. The heat element depends on you having a microwave to blast the pack for 30 seconds and then top up when it cools down if needed.
The_Dancing_Daisy –
Massive! – I had a fall and hurt my hip and pelvis so ordered this as it looked big! It's brilliant! its a really good size and definitely did help. Because of its size it's very versatile and easy to use. A really good item to have on hand.
Long Story Short 😉 –
Good size – Easy to use Good size for large areas Well made item Value for money 10 out of 10

Hot and cold relief – This is a large gel pack with a nylon side and a fleece side so you can vary the extent and comfort associated with both the hot and the cold therapy. The gel pack is cool to the touch without any action being necessary, but it chills down quickly when placed in a freezer for a couple of hours and can be left there overnight. The heat element depends on you having a microwave to blast the pack for 30 seconds; if it isn’t warm enough you can add 10 second sessions but you need to keep an eye on the pack and stop if it starts to expand. The resultant heat or chill packs are great on aches and pains. The size of the pack means you can target larger areas of discomfort in a comfortable format with lovely soft fleece against your skin. It feels heavy, but not to the extent of being difficult to handle. It offers relief from aches and pains with just the addition of microwave or freezer help to heat or chill.
