Brent, if you are talking about electric heating pads, I'd be leary of using them. They don't contain over temperature sensors or timers like most modern electric blankets do.

Because one side of the pad is going to be exposed to cold, they are almost always going to be running hotter than what you might expect if you've used one on your neck/shoulder/back.

An electric blanket is a much better way to go, they are larger, plus have built in timers and overheat sensors that won't allow the blanket to go beyond the pre-set temperature paramenters, plus the blanket itself will tend to keep the heat in and surrounding the tank and regulator.
