There are contraindications for which a comfortable device cannot be used, and there are quite a few of them. For example:

• oncology;
• circulatory failure;
• active form of tuberculosis, thromboembolism;
• pathologies accompanied by a permanent increase in temperature.

A heat-resistant filler made of polymeric materials during many years of use can also lose its properties: relative softness, the ability to uniformly distribute the heat generated by the heating element.To avoid the failure, which is inevitable, since there is nothing eternal, you can choose the correct product. It is enough to heed the advice of experts in order to prevent common mistakes made by consumers when buying a product in a rash or hasty way.
