Thermophore MaxHEAT Automatic Moist Heating Pack Model 155 – Large 14" x 27" XL Heating Pad, Deep Moist Heat Therapy for Muscle, Back & Joint Pain Relief, Electric, Heavy Weighted Design

My relationship with aches and pains has been a long and complicated one. Sometimes it's my lower back protesting after an ambitious gardening session (which usually involves more enthusiasm than actual skill). Other times it's a stiff neck from staring at screens for too long (a modern-day occupational hazard). I've tried creams, stretches, and questionable contortions. I needed something more. Something that felt like a warm, comforting hug for my complaining muscles. That's when I found the Thermophore MaxHEAT Automatic Moist Heat Pack. I saw "Moist Heat" and "Automatic" and thought, "Does this thing generate its own spa-like steam? Does it know exactly where I hurt?" When this heating pad arrived, it felt substantial. It's not flimsy; it's got a nice weight to it, and the cover feels soft and plush. It looked less like a medical device and more like a cozy blanket that secretly possesses healing powers. Using it for the first time was a revelation. You just plug it in, lay it on the offending body part, and within moments, you feel this deep, penetrating heat. And it's moist heat, which apparently gets deeper into your muscles than dry heat. It's like a warm, soothing wave washing over your aches. My back, which was previously staging a full-blown protest, slowly began to relax and send signals of tentative peace. The automatic timer is a lifesaver. It shuts off after 25 minutes, so I don't have to worry about falling asleep and accidentally turning myself into a human烤鴨 (roast duck). It's a simple, one-touch control, even my pain-addled brain can handle it. If your muscles are tight, your joints are stiff, or you just appreciate the simple, profound comfort of deep, moist heat, this heating pad is fantastic. It's well-made, easy to use, and provides serious relief. It's become my go-to for soothing away the complaints of my body. My aches have met their match, and I'm thoroughly impressed with this warm, comforting workhorse.

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. This is my second thermophore as my first just stopped one day after 3 years of daily use. Pros: 1. Heats up slowly and goes off slowly so sometimes i don't realize it's off. 2. Deep heats like NOTHING else, grabbing moisture from the air is no joke! 3. Turns off automatically so I don't get burned (for too long haha) and if I get distracted or interupted I don't waste electricy for hours or pose a fire hazard by forgetting to turn it off. 4. Super LARGE so my entire back gets treatment if I want causing my entire body relax as my pain is relieved somewhat. CONS: 1. Cord is in the middle of one end so it is ALWAYS in the way (my other one's cord was off to one side some which is more comfortable to position when using it for back pain). Your choice for cord placement, if using it on your back, is over your head or between your legs, neither are very comfortable. ugh. 2. Cord twists really bad which is probably why my other one stopped working. 3. Pricey but as people usually say about "cheap" items here, "you get what you pay for". This is one of the VERY FEW things I pay more for as it is SO worth it! The benifits outweigh the negatives by far. I am TRYING to hande the cord carefully with my everyday use and trying to think of a solution.

I originally balked at the price, but purchased as I need HEAT on my leg due to nerve pain. Regular heating pads were insufficient. I use this on the 2nd setting as 3rd is too hot. I use directly on skin (with the cover in place). Maybe w sweat pants, 3rd would be okay. It has some weight, which helps with relief. It does turn off after 25 mins, but I just turn it back on. The size covers from. My thigh to ankle and drapes over. I hope it lasts, because of what I paid. I have it on when I'm sitting. Recommend if you're looking for a heavy duty heating pad.

I have had back pain for more than 3 decades. Thermophore heating pads are used by Physical Therapists. I know because that's where I first learned about them. I use one on a regular basis. It helps to relax my back muscles and gives me relief. I use it on my knee also. The last one I had lasted 6 yrs with regular use. Moist heat is the best kind to use. The reason they are expensive is because they are high quality. You will get your moneys worth.

Finally a heating pad that actually gets hot enough. I know it’s expensive but it feels very well made and most important it gets HOT. It won’t get hot instantly but give it 5-10 minutes and it’ll be perfect. So thankful for this product!

Moist heat without the mess great heating pad with 25 min timed switch my 30 year old Thermaphore has a dead man switch but still works Best heating pads ever

this is a great heating pad. the heat level is great and it really gets hot not just barely warm on the highest setting like the other ones.

When the Thermaphore therapeutic moist heat pads were produced in Battle Creek by Americans, they were so reliable. They lasted for years. Now it appears that they’re made in China and I’ve had to buy pads repeatedly because they break: button to activate the heat jams, or it sparks and smells like it’s burning, or just stops heating for no apparent reason. Such malfunctions occur just after two or three months of use!! This is wholly unsatisfactory. As you can see from my Amazon purchase history, I have had to replace the pad numerous times in just the last year. Health issues necessitate my using this form of therapy but I’m now looking for a more reliable product.

I love this thing and depend on it. I use it even in summer for my feet. It has a timer so it will turn off automatically after about 20 minutes. It's a million times better than a hot water bottle and this one gets truly hot, so be aware. It's our second one. They previous one broke after at least 3-5 years of daily use. I would rate it less because of that except it gets so much use.

安定の暖かさがあり心地いいです。

仕事でも使っていますが非常に暖かく心地よいものです。好評です。

Very happy with this product, nice and large to cover a good portion of my lower back. Works better that any heating pad.

This is the 5th one I've bought, 4 of them were for my massage therapy practise this one was a Christmas present for my daughter and my sil, they tell me they both like it but because they are miles away I don't know what they r doing with it. I can tell u my experience with them. They last a long time, provide moist heat that penitrates deeper that the skin, and are easy to maintain, covers the whole back,or shoulders and tummywhen needed. Helps rexation and relaxes muscles.
