The frosted chill of a winter commute into Toronto.
Snow flops from the rising garage door as the failing 1997 Sentra rattles its tailpipe in the cold. It's going to take 80 minutes to get into town, but that's O.K. The body, or at least a certain fleshy part of it, is happy, knowing it will soon be warm enough.
And it also clenches in anticipation, because it also knows that it will soon be vibrating.
Maplin's £30 ($57) heated massage seat is thin, sleek and remote controlled, offering a cosy drive and an AC adapter so you can take it into the office too. It also comes equipped with a slate of massage programs, each with independenly-controllable speed, rhythym, randomness and target location.
An accident waiting to happen? Perhaps there are some places where one shouldn't get too comfy.
