Thermophore Digital Moist Heat Pad (Model 655) review

The Thermophore Digital 655 is the most capable pad we compared, and the most specialized. Its digital controller sets an exact temperature from 155°F to 170°F, so its coolest setting matches the hottest setting on the MaxHEAT 155. A timer runs from 1 to 60 minutes, more than twice the MaxHEAT's fixed 25 minutes, and Thermophore says the pad reaches full temperature in under 10 minutes. Like other Thermophore pads, it makes moist heat from air humidity through its fleece cover. Thermophore lists 6 independent safety monitoring components, a 10-foot cord, a 2-year warranty and HSA/FSA eligibility. The price is $99.99 on sale, against $124.99 regular. The narrow, high range is the catch: anyone who wants mild comfort heat for cramps or evening use will find 155°F too much, and the MaxHEAT 155 does the same job for less if 25-minute sessions are enough. For chronic or clinical use where repeatable sessions matter, this is the one to buy.
