Homedics WV50H

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.
