Thermophore Moisture-Plus Replacement Cover — Medium 14" × 14" (Model 160)
Genuine OEM replacement Moisture-Plus cover for Thermophore medium 14" × 14" heating pads. Machine washable, non-shrinkable cotton/fleece blend. Produces automatic moist heat from ambient humidity. Includes a moisture pocket with washcloth — add a lightly damp cloth for supplemental steam in dry climates or heavily air-conditioned spaces. Heating pad not included.
⚠ Replacement Cover Only — Heating Pad Not Included
This listing is for the Model 160 Moisture-Plus cover only. It fits Thermophore medium 14" × 14" heating pads: MaxHEAT 156, Liberty 156, Liberty 056, and MaxHEAT Plus 356.
If you need the standard Moist-Sure Fleece cover (no moisture pocket) for a medium pad, that is Model 162. If you need a Moisture-Plus cover for a different size, see Model 159 (Large 14" × 27") or Model 165 (Petite 4" × 17").
About the Moisture-Plus Cover Model 160The Moisture-Plus cover is the premium replacement cover in the Thermophore line. Like the standard Moist-Sure Fleece cover, it absorbs humidity from the surrounding air and releases it as therapeutic steam when the pad heats up. The key upgrade is the moisture pocket: a built-in sleeve that accepts a lightly damp washcloth, allowing you to add supplemental moisture for deeper steam in dry climates (AZ, NV, UT, NM), at high altitude, or in heavily air-conditioned rooms where ambient humidity is too low for the cover to draw enough moisture from the air alone.
The Model 160 is also machine washable and non-shrinkable — a practical advantage over the standard Moist-Sure Fleece cover (Model 162), which requires hand washing and can shrink if machine washed. In most homes with normal humidity, the cloth is optional; the cover works automatically. But having the pocket available makes this the more versatile choice for any climate.

How the Moisture-Plus Cover Produces Moist Heat 1 Between sessions, the cotton/fleece blend absorbs humidity from the surrounding air automatically. No water is needed in most homes. 2 In dry climates or heavy A/C (AZ, NV, UT, NM, or any room where humidity is low), lightly dampen the included washcloth and insert it into the moisture pocket before positioning the pad. This provides supplemental steam even when ambient humidity is insufficient. 3 When the pad heats up, it activates the absorbed moisture into therapeutic steam that penetrates deeper into muscles and joints than dry heat alone. The cover produces moist heat for 20–30 minutes per session. 4 After the session, remove any damp cloth from the pocket and set the pad aside in open air to reabsorb humidity before the next use. Machine wash the cover as needed — it will not shrink.

Both fit all medium 14" × 14" Thermophore pads and both produce automatic moist heat from ambient humidity. The Model 160 Moisture-Plus adds a moisture pocket: a built-in sleeve that accepts a lightly damp washcloth for supplemental steam in dry climates or heavily air-conditioned spaces. It is also machine washable and non-shrinkable. The Model 162 standard fleece cover has no pocket, relies entirely on ambient humidity, and must be hand washed.
Do I need to use the damp cloth every time?
No. In most homes with normal humidity, the Moisture-Plus cover works automatically without the cloth, just like the standard cover. The cloth is only needed in dry climates (AZ, NV, UT, NM), at high altitudes, or in rooms with heavy air conditioning where ambient humidity is too low for the cover to draw enough moisture from the air.
Which medium pads does the Model 160 fit?
The Model 160 fits all Thermophore medium 14" × 14" heating pads: MaxHEAT 156, Liberty 156, Liberty 056, and MaxHEAT Plus 356. The MaxHEAT Plus 356 ships with a Moisture-Plus cover as standard; for those pads, the Model 160 is the correct OEM replacement. The other medium pads ship with the standard Moist-Sure Fleece cover (Model 162), but can be upgraded to a Model 160 at any time.
Will a new cover restore moist heat to my old Thermophore?
If your Thermophore still heats up properly but no longer produces moist heat, a new cover may restore the moist heat function. The cover is the component that absorbs humidity and produces steam. However, if the pad itself has stopped heating or heats unevenly, the issue is with the heating element and a new cover will not fix that.
Is the Moisture-Plus cover machine washable?
Yes. Unlike the standard Moist-Sure Fleece cover (Model 162), which must be hand washed to prevent shrinkage, the Moisture-Plus cover (Model 160) is machine washable and non-shrinkable. Remove the cloth from the moisture pocket before washing, and air dry the cover before returning it to the pad.
Is it a good idea to keep a spare cover?
Yes. Even though the Model 160 is machine washable, the cover still needs to dry and reabsorb humidity from the air before your next session. Having a spare means you can wash one while using the other, so you always have a moisture-ready cover on hand.
