What is Thermophore Deep-Heat Therapy? Soothing, comforting intense moist heat therapy for pain. It's such a basic idea, well-known and trusted through the ages, that we often forget how fabulous it can feel to just heat up those sore, aching muscles and joints. Even medical professionals can get so busy they don't think to mention using moist heat to relieve your pain. But Thermophore Deep-Heat products are designed to deliver the kind of intense, moist heat that can penetrate deeply to really bring relief from pain, muscle cramps and stiffness for hours. Think your pain is too much for such a simple remedy? We've heard that one before. Just try a Thermophore product - let us amaze you. Our Thermophore model 356 is a 14 x 14 inch heating pad designed for smaller areas such as a shoulder, knee or part of the abdomen. Perfect fit for the back or hip of some of our smaller, more petite users, and many customers prefer this size to take along when they travel (use only with120v!). Review: Great When Used Properly - This thermophore is very different from most electric heating pads aimed at the general consumer market, and is typically available from medical supply retailers and wholesalers, not drug or department stores. It gets much hotter than consumer-oriented heating pads, and it heats up much more rapidly. The special cover generally absorbs enough humidity from the air to create a small amount of moisture, which transfers heat much more effectively. Covers are washable in cold water but should be line dried to avoid shrinkage. Worn replacement covers can be purchased. [Covers for some models also come with a pouch in which to place a wrung-out cloth (included) to compensate for very dry conditions, when needed.] The thermophore is available in a variety of sizes and, within each size, there is a choice of controls: 1) a "dead-man switch," which must be held to operate--ideal if the user is likely to fall asleep while using it; and 2) a timed control (20 minutes) with manual on-off and delay buttons. It is not a coincidence that the picture on the box shows the model laying on his abdomen, with the thermophore atop his back. The instruction booklet emphasizes that, for safety reasons, the user should never lay on top of the thermophore. There are two reasons for this: 1) with the thermophore layered between the bed and the body, the heat cannot easily dissipate, increasing the risk of burning the skin; 2) the heating coils and wiring will degrade more rapidly from the high heat the thermophore produces and, if it is accidentally folded or wrinkled while in use, the risk of damage to the thermophore over time also increases. Unfortunately, unless users have someone to place the thermophore on their backs for them, it can be very difficult to use according to the instructions. Also, some users may find laying on their abdomens uncomfortable or inconvenient for 20 minutes at a time. I suspect that many users who are disappointed in the limited lifespan of their thermophores may lay on top of it due to necessity or ignorance. I recommend reading the entire consumer manual carefully before using it for the first time. I recently replaced a six-year old, frequently-used model with a new thermophore and have been pleased with the performance. I tried using the optional moisture cloth a couple of times to see if it made a difference in my 45% humidity environment. Although it clearly added to the moisture in the heat produced, I believe the unaided cover produces enough moisture to be effective. I also like the new delay feature on the timer control. If the thermophore gets too hot for comfort, I simply press the delay button until it cools down and then press it again. Because the delay feature stops--but doesn't reset--the timer, I know that I will not overextend total heating time beyond 20 minutes. I have one minor suggestion to the manufacturer with respect to improving the timer control. The on-off and delay buttons are identical in feel, and until the user gets familiar with where the two buttons are, it is easy to confuse them if the user does not have visual contact with the control (e.g., see model on the box, whose eyes are closed). This confusion could easily be avoided by adding a raised plastic "dot" in the center of one of the buttons, so the two buttons can be distinguished from each other by touch. Overall, however, the thermophore has been a fantastic product for me. Users should keep in mind the safety and wear concerns--which appear in the consumer manual--particularly if they use the product frequently. Review: Love the heating pad - Love this heating pad. I had one for about 10 years before it stopped working and this one was bought to replace it. I think it is a great value for the money. I like that it came with a cloth for moist heat. Looks like the same durable design for the actual heating pad with a newly designed temperature control that shuts off after 25 minutes. The only improvement I would want to see is from desertcart and how the product was shipped. It was not shipped in a box and the original packaging was taped up from I am assuming the shipping process. I would hate to think that the company would send their product in the condition mine arrived in ## Features - You will receive (1) Thermophore MaxHEAT Plus Moist Heating Pad, Size Medium 14" x 14" - Model 356 - UNMATCHED PAIN RELIEF – The weighted heating pad is pliable, designed to maximize contact with the body.

The Low setting is pretty warm. It heats up quickly. It seems durable. I purchased this because I know a PT facility that uses this brand. The cord could be longer, I have to stay fairly close to where it is plugged. There are just 3 control settings - High, medium, low. The heat feels evenly distributed throughout the pad. If heat gives you pain relief, this should work. It works well for my needs. It is expensive, but it is good quality. ## Frequently Bought Together - Thermophore MaxHEAT Plus Automatic Moist Heating Pad Size Medium 14" x 14" Model 356 - Thermophore MaxHEAT Automatic Moist Heat Pack - Large Coverage Model #155 for Deep, Soothing Pain Relief - Thermophore MaxHeat Arthritis Pad Moist Heating Pad Size Large 14" x 27" - Model 155 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/114970742-thermophore-maxheat-plus-automatic-moist-heating-pad-size-medium-14](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/114970742-thermophore-maxheat-plus-automatic-moist-heating-pad-size-medium-14) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
