Homedics SBM-100

Advantages: keeps your feet warm, comfortable foot rest
Disadvantages: massage function just vibrates and feels nasty

...I thought I’d review this Homedics Sqush Massaging Foot Pillow but was a bit surprised to see a picture of the neck cushion. Mine was a present and I was nicely pleased when I got it. I’m on my feet a lot and sometimes they ache The foot pillow is a dark blue fabric with a peachy , fleecy feel. The fabric is a high denier nylon-spandex blend fabric which feels pleasant to the touch. The pillow is approx 12 in x 15 in (I can’t locate a tape measure at the moment; I’ll update this as soon as I find it). It has 2 foot sleeves you slip your feet into.

Advantages: Almost instant pain relief
Disadvantages: You need a suitable chair to place it on

...I unfortunately do not own one of these but as soon as I can pull together the £99.99 that they cost I will own one. During my recent shopping trip to my large department store I was lucky enough to have a try of one of these massage cushions. I was with my mother who has had problems with massage cushions in the past. We both have arthiritis in the spine (and everywhere else) and I have a misshaped spine. I tried this massager in store and was 100% impressed with the results, we had been shopping for two hours and where both ready to go home as we were both in pain with the arthiritis. After a few minutes on this massage chair we were both able to carry on with our shopping trip. It eased the pain after only a few minutes and caused no irritation to my misshaped spine.
