Thermophore Liberty 2 (USA Assembled) Moist Heat Pack - Model 155 - Large 14 x 27
Thermophore Liberty 2 (USA Assembled) Moist Heat Pack — Large 14" × 27" (Model 155)
The same #1 best-selling Thermophore moist heating pad — assembled in the USA. Weighted ~4 lbs, 3 heat settings up to 165°F, automatic moist heat without water, 25-minute auto shutoff. Identical performance to the MaxHEAT 155 with the distinction of American assembly at the Thermophore facility in Fremont, Indiana since 1987.
It's slightly weighted compared to cheap ones, it has this humidity feature which seems to really help the heat penetrate, and it ACTUALLY gets hot. This is by far the best.
Our Take: The Liberty 155 is the exact same pad as our best-selling MaxHEAT 155 — same 14" × 27" size, same ~4 lb weighted body, same 3 heat settings, same 165°F max, same automatic moist heat, same 25-minute auto shutoff — with one difference: it's assembled in the USA at the Thermophore facility in Fremont, Indiana. If USA assembly matters to you, this is the one to get. If it doesn't, the MaxHEAT 155 delivers identical performance at $69.99. Both carry the same 2-year warranty. The Liberty line has been assembled in the USA since 1987.
Why You'd Choose the Liberty 155
- The Liberty line has been assembled at the Thermophore facility in Fremont, Indiana since 1987. Domestic assembly with American labor standards. If supporting USA manufacturing matters to you, this is the Thermophore to choose.
- Same 14" × 27" size, same ~4 lb weight, same 3 heat settings, same 165°F max, same moist heat, same 25-min auto shutoff, same cover, same 10-foot cord, same 2-year warranty. The only difference is assembly location.
- Generic pads max out at 120–140°F. The Liberty 155 reaches up to 165°F on High — the intensity needed for deep, therapeutic moist heat that penetrates muscles and joints.
- The one-touch Constant-Comfort switch gives you three temperature levels. Start on Low, step up to Medium for moderate relief, or use High for maximum intensity. Stays on hands-free until the 25-minute shutoff.
- At roughly 4 pounds, the pad molds to curves and joints, maintaining full surface contact. Much heavier than generic pads, ensuring it stays in place without you holding it.
- The fleece cover absorbs humidity from the air and the pad's intense heat converts it to therapeutic steam. Moist heat penetrates deeper than dry heat without adding water or damp towels.
- Auto shutoff follows clinically recommended therapy intervals of 15–30 minutes. Prevents overheating, burns, and risk of falling asleep with the pad on.
- The Liberty 155 qualifies for HSA and FSA purchases. Also approved for Medicare and insurance reimbursement when prescribed for arthritis pain management.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Liberty 155 and the MaxHEAT 155?
The Liberty 155 and MaxHEAT 155 are the same pad: 14 by 27 inches, ~4 lbs, 3 heat settings, 25-minute auto shutoff, up to 165°F, automatic moist heat. The only difference is assembly location. The Liberty 155 is assembled in the USA at the Thermophore facility in Fremont, Indiana. The MaxHEAT 155 is assembled in China at $69.99. Both carry the same 2-year warranty.
Why does the Liberty 155 cost more than the MaxHEAT 155?
The Liberty 155 costs more because it is assembled in the USA at the Thermophore facility in Fremont, Indiana. USA assembly involves higher labor costs and domestic manufacturing standards. The price difference reflects the assembly location only — not differences in quality or features.
How does the Thermophore produce moist heat without adding water?
The fleece cover absorbs moisture from the humidity in the surrounding air. When the pad heats up, it activates that moisture into therapeutic steam that penetrates deeper than dry heat. No water, spray bottles, or damp towels needed. The cover produces moist heat for 20–30 minutes, then set aside to reabsorb moisture.
What temperature does the Liberty 155 reach?
Up to 165°F on the High setting, via three settings: Low, Medium, and High. Most generic drugstore pads max out around 120–140°F.
Is it HSA or FSA eligible?
Yes. The Liberty 155 is HSA and FSA eligible. Also approved for Medicare and insurance reimbursement when prescribed for arthritis pain management.
Is the cover washable?
Yes. The soft fleece flannel cover is removable and machine washable. Clean regularly for optimal moist heat performance.
Can I lay on this heating pad?
No. Place it on top of the body area only. Laying on a heating pad can trap heat against the skin and increase the risk of burns.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Liberty 155 and the MaxHEAT 155?
The Liberty 155 and MaxHEAT 155 are the same pad: 14 by 27 inches, ~4 lbs, 3 heat settings, 25-minute auto shutoff, up to 165°F, automatic moist heat. The only difference is assembly location. The Liberty 155 is assembled in the USA at the Thermophore facility in Fremont, Indiana. The MaxHEAT 155 is assembled in China at $69.99. Both carry the same 2-year warranty.
Why does the Liberty 155 cost more than the MaxHEAT 155?
The Liberty 155 costs more because it is assembled in the USA at the Thermophore facility in Fremont, Indiana. USA assembly involves higher labor costs and domestic manufacturing standards. The price difference reflects the assembly location only — not differences in quality or features.
How does the Thermophore produce moist heat without adding water?
The fleece cover absorbs moisture from the humidity in the surrounding air. When the pad heats up, it activates that moisture into therapeutic steam that penetrates deeper than dry heat. No water, spray bottles, or damp towels needed. The cover produces moist heat for 20–30 minutes, then set aside to reabsorb moisture from the air.
What temperature does the Liberty 155 reach?
Up to 165°F on the High setting, via three settings: Low, Medium, and High. Most generic drugstore pads max out around 120–140°F.
Why does the pad shut off after 25 minutes?
The 25-minute auto shutoff is a safety feature. Thermophore pads reach higher temperatures than generic brands, so limiting exposure follows clinically recommended therapy intervals of 15–30 minutes and prevents burns if you fall asleep with the pad on.
Is the Thermophore Liberty 155 HSA or FSA eligible?
Yes. HSA and FSA eligible. Also approved for Medicare and insurance reimbursement when prescribed for arthritis pain management. Check with your insurance company to verify reimbursement.
Can I lay on this heating pad?
No. Place it on top of the body area only. Laying on a heating pad can trap heat against the skin and increase the risk of burns. The weighted design keeps the pad in place without needing to lay on it.
