Product Review: Homedics QRM -400H Massage Cushion
Summary: 1 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
The first thing I noticed about the massage cushion is it's sour chemical-like smell. The smell filled all the rooms of my apartment for several days. Even now, over two weeks after removing the cushion from its box, I can still smell it. Homedics has a notice in the package that the smell will dissipate in 24 hours. I don't think the smell will ever disappear.
My plan was to set the massage cushion up in my favoite chair, plug it in and whenever I wanted a back rub or some heat it would be there to use. This is not possible because the cushion is too large for my chair. It does not leave enough room for me to sit. Even sitting on the edge of the chair the bottom pad is shaped so that i feel like I'm sliding off of what little sitting area is left. The cushion measures about 5" thick, but when placed in the chair it's effective depth is much more. It would not fit in two other chairs I tried it on either. When I tried to set the cushion on a couch, or propped up against the wall on a bed, it tended to flop over.
Even if the cushion did fit I would be unable to use the chair. The cushion has 4 rock-hard plastic rollers sticking through the back fabric. It is very uncomfortable having these rollers poking me in the back while sitting. The rollers poking me in the back make any chair unusable for sitting. I'm not a person who would bother to get the cushion out of storage and crawl around on all fours to find a wall socket for the ac plug more than once. The cushion will stay in the closet and never be used.
The uncomfortable feeling turned into pain once the cushion was turned on. The rollers are less than an inch thick and the sensation is more like being poked with a broom handle than massaged. The worst part is when the rollers come together in the middle of my back. It feels like someone is using a small hammer on the bones of my spine. This HURTS!

Item is nice. Only downside is that it does not reach/go up high enough have to slouch in chair to get my shoulders done! The heating portion of this item is really nice and feels great!
Setup was easy and took only about 5 minutes or less!

Great massaging action in an easy-to-use chair cushion. The unit is all one piece, with the remote attached (it rides in a little pocket alongside the seat cushion), and it's super-easy to set up. The shiatsu massage is a strong, deep kneading function -- this isn't one of those wimpy little-bit-of-vibration things. One thing I especially like is the adjustable width of the rollers; you can set them wide apart to reach the outer portions of the latissimus dorsi muscles, or move then in close to the spine. Several members of our household, from pre-teens to plus-sized adults, have used the massager for a couple of weeks now & all love it. Other reviewers have mentioned that it's not quite tall enough for people over 5'8" or so; we've found the same thing, which is why I deducted one star. Except for this one fault, it's just about perfect.Product Review: Homedics QRM-400H

This device is NOT A TOY. It's the REAL THING. I use this Shiatsu messaging heated seat cushion for about thirty minutes every day and have found it to be both relaxing and therapeutic. It is well made with a solid mechanism that stands up well under my 295 lbs of weight. The use of heat is optional. There are two different messaging actions -- each different from the other. It has done an amazing job of ironing out some really sensitive and sore kinks in my back. I have suffered for years with on and off again siatic nerve pain. The QRM-400H has brought astounding relief.
