■ Electric heating cushion: cheap and practical equipment
When winter comes, it is often the peak season for winter cushions in major auto parts cities and online stores. The editor also learned from the owners of many car supplies stores and online stores that traditional wool or suede cushions seem to be out of favor this year. On the one hand, because the price is too high, it can often cost three to four hundred yuan, and some even reach more than one thousand yuan. On the other hand, these cushions are thicker and large, and they actually have very little time to use in a year. When they are not in use, they take up space and are very inconvenient.

The purchase demand for electric heating cushions this winter is particularly large. We simply entered "Car Heating cushions" on the Taobao page and searched, and more than 4,000 search results popped up, and the sales of Tmall merchants displayed in the first line are very amazing. Simply put, there are various styles of winter heating cushions. In principle, it is the same as an electric blanket. It is very light and easy to organize. You can also lay it under the seat cover, which will not affect the beauty and is very cheap.

Judging from the search results, the most common ultra-thin heating cushion can be bought for a single seat for about 50 yuan, while the two seats usually range from 60-100 yuan. If you need some styles with massage function, the price will be a little more expensive, but it is usually less than 200 yuan, so it doesn’t make sense if it is expensive.

In order to experience the differences between electric heating cushions at different prices, and to see if this type of product can really achieve the effect of original electric heating seats, the editor specially selected two products with a large price difference from the online store. One is the most common two-seater electric heating cushion with only electric heating function, the price is about 100 yuan, which is also the best-selling style at present; the other is relatively expensive, priced at around 230 yuan, and has a variety of massage and heating functions. In order to avoid suspicion of advertising, the brand did not reveal it to everyone.



Regarding the installation method of the seat cushion, you can just look at the picture. It is exactly the same as an ordinary seat cushion. Just fix it on the seat by using rubber bands and hooks. We used a thermometer to test the heating capabilities of the two seats respectively. We can see that the starting temperature is basically around 18-19℃, and the test time is 5 minutes.


The results show that after the ordinary cushion is adjusted to HI mode, it can heat itself to about 30℃ within 5 minutes, while the cushion with massage function has only one gear, and it can heat to about 31℃ after 5 minutes, which is almost the same.


Maybe you think this heating capability doesn't seem to be very good, but don't underestimate the temperature difference of about 10℃. It is enough to make your body feel much more comfortable. Even when the temperature reaches about 30℃, it will make people feel a little hot and need to be temporarily turned off. In addition, the more expensive cushion has a very powerful massage function. Multi-point high-frequency vibration can be selected through the remote control panel, which is very comfortable.


However, in addition to using electric heating cushions, we also want to remind everyone to unplug the power interface in time after getting off the car. No matter whether your car will automatically lose power after parking and shut down, it is recommended that everyone do this to prevent safety hazards. When purchasing such products, try to choose some merchants with good credit and request a formal invoice when purchasing, in order to make a basis for "protecting rights" when encountering quality problems or resulting in losses.
