Customer reviews
This is the first time I’ve had a digital heat setting and time as an option. I can’t say enough good things about this product. I literally use it every night. I mostly use it for back pain but have used it for every pain area of my body [...] This heating pad is worth every penny.

I’m a heating pad addict. My trusty super hot heating pad I’ve used for 15 years finally was giving out. I’ve tried others but they never get hot enough, like at all. I took a chance on this one and OMG. it’s like nothing I’ve ever used before. The moist heat is insanely good.

I used this after knee surgery and it was incredibly helpful! The heat gets nice and powerful, which made it great for soothing soreness and helping me feel more comfortable during recovery. I also really liked the large size because it covered the area well without constantly needing to reposition it. It feels sturdy and substantial, and I was very happy with how effective it was!
— Leslie Baker
What really sets this heating pad apart is the deep moist heat. Unlike standard electric heating pads that can feel dry or superficial, the Thermophore delivers penetrating heat that reaches sore muscles and provides real relief. I use it regularly for lower back tension and stiff shoulders, and I can feel a noticeable difference after just 20–30 minutes.
— Scott Erdman
I have used heating pads for years and years staring back with "cramps". Purchased this brand after using one in physical therapy and feeling the incredible difference. This is by far the very best heating pad I have used to date!! The moist heat penetrates DEEP to your bones like nothing I have ever felt. High is TOO hot for me which is a first.

Why Thermophore heat feels different

No water to add

The fleece cover pulls moisture from the air, and then the heat turns it into moist heat. No towels, no spray bottle needed. 

Weighted to fit your body

The pad is heavy on purpose, so it drapes over your back, neck, or hips and keeps the heat in contact with your body. 

Heat you can feel

This is the heating pad that actually gets HOT, with customizable heat up to 170°F, so you can choose what works for you.

Common Questions

Do I need to add water?

No. The fleece cover pulls moisture from the air, and the heat turns it into moist heat. If your home is very dry, MaxHEAT PLUS lets you add moisture with a damp cloth.

Which one should I pick?

Choose Digital if you want to set an exact temperature or use heat for up to 60 minutes. Choose MaxHEAT if you want simple High, Medium and Low settings or need a smaller size.

How hot does it get?

The Digital lets you set 115°F to 170°F. For comfort and relaxing, 115°F to 140°F is recommended. For therapeutic moist heat, 140°F to 170°F is recommended. MaxHEAT has three settings.

Does it turn off by itself?

Yes. MaxHEAT turns off after 25 minutes. The Digital turns off when the timer you set runs out, up to 60 minutes.

Can I wash the cover?

Yes. The cover comes off and is machine washable.

Can I use my HSA or FSA?

Yes. Thermophore pads are HSA/FSA eligible.
