It's slightly weighted, it has this humidity feature which seems to really help the heat penetrate, and it ACTUALLY gets hot. I've now also bought this as a gift for a friend too.
Heat That Reaches Deep
Generic pads top out at 120–140°F. Thermophore's Digital pad delivers up to 170°F — the intensity needed for real therapeutic relief.
Get ReliefWeighted to Contour
The weighted construction molds to your body's curves. Full contact. No air gaps. Heat goes exactly where it hurts.
Moist Heat. Automatically.
The fleece draws moisture from the air. Combined with intense heat, it creates the deep moist heat therapy doctors recommend.
It's All in the Moisture-Wicking Cover
The fleece cover absorbs humidity from the air around you — no water, no spray bottles, no damp towels. Intense heat activates that moisture into therapeutic steam that penetrates far deeper than dry heat alone.
The weighted pad contours to your body, blood vessels dilate, circulation increases, and pain eases — naturally.
Shop Moist HeatOur #1 Best-Selling, Doctor-Recommended Heating Pad
Moist heat penetrates tissue significantly deeper than dry heat at the same temperature — reaching muscles, tendons, and joints more effectively.
That's why physical therapists, chiropractors, and orthopedists have relied on Thermophore for decades. The MaxHEAT Large is our top seller — the pad doctors recommend most.
