Bean-bag type hot pad

Some time ago at a craft show a woman came up to me and put a warm bean-bag
type thing on the back of my neck and started talking about how you could put
it in the microwave to heat up and put it on your neck/shoulders to relax you,
etc. Because I had been on my way out and because she startled me and the
whole encounter was kind of weird, I just wanted to leave. But later on, I
thought, hey, you know, that REALLY felt good. My neck and upper shoulder
muscles have been really tight ever since TM, and this did seem to help. But I
have never seen anything like it since then. Someone told me they thought it
had rice in it. Has anyone ever heard of such a thing and know where to look
for one or even how to make one? Besides the warmth relaxing the muscles, the
flexibility of it made it so that you could position it easily right where you
wanted it.
