The budget retailer sells Easy Home Heating Pads which are designed to offer warmth to the wearer's back, neck, and shoulders.
According to the Aldi website, the product consists of a soft flannel fleece that comes with nine temperature options to choose from.

One user said: "I got one last year and it didn't even last a month... I have fibro and used it most days. Was amazing but died so fast I couldn't warrant a new one".
A second commented: "Damn, I was nearly excited then. I pictured wearing it at work since the heating turns off randomly. But it has to be always connected."
