Abstract
A microwavable heating pad has a liquid absorbent to prevent liquid leakage in the event the sealed thermoplastic envelope of the pad is ruptured. The method of forming the pad includes evacuating the air from the thermoplastic envelope prior to sealing. The heating pad is used conjunction with a special seat cushion for outdoor events, such as football games, where a user must sit relatively inactive for an extended period of time. The seat cushion comprises an inner pocket to centralize the heating pad within the seat cushion and also includes a back rest and a front pouch that can be fastened together to hold the heated seat cushion in a neat, compact configuration during storage or transportation.
