Sauna blankets are the latest wellness product to arrive in the UK and the blankets can help comfort and soothe tension instantly. MiHIGH has launched the Infrared Sauna Blanket to the UK and here is everything you need to know about the blanket.

The colder months are here and it’s the time of year to relax, reset and rest the body. Australian company MiHIGH has launched the Infrared Sauna Blanket – a new wellness product that uses technology to replicate an experience of going to the sauna in blanket form and has multiple health benefits.

Infrared saunas have been proven to detoxify the body, reduce stress and also simultaneously elevate heart rate to burn calories.

Ed Hodge, co-founder of MiHIGH, said: “We recognise accessibility to public saunas as a huge barrier to many, even more so than ever right now.”

He added: ”Through our product, we hope to provide as many people as possible with the opportunity to experience a natural high from the comfort of their own home, for a fraction of the price.”

Wrapping around the body, the MiHIGH Infrared Sauna Blanket is definitely a new home addition that’s going to be a popular addition for the winter. Express.co.uk has put together a guide with answers to some popular questions about the sauna blanket.

How does the sauna blanket work?

Made with high-quality leather on the exterior and a waterproof interior, the blanket warms up the body with infrared heat which is seven times more detoxifying than regular heat and flushes out toxins more effectively. The heat ranges from 35 to 73 degrees Celsius.

The infrared technology also helps burn calories by boosting cardiovascular health as it elevates the heart rate, like it would do in exercise. The sauna blanket can burn up to 600 calories when used for 30 minutes.

How big is the sauna blanket?

The sauna blanket is big enough to comfortably fit on a double sized bed and it is designed to be used on any flat surface that can withstand the heat. It also comes with a bag that makes it easy to fold the blanket in and store away when not in use.

Is it easy to set up?

The MiHIGH Infrared Sauna Blanket is really easy to set up. It’s electric and comes with a power cord that plugs into a socket. To operate it, simply use the control box that is attached to the cord and you can choose the length of time (30 minutes to an hour) and temperature. MiHIGH recommends starting with level four before moving up, and it takes about 15 to 20 minutes to heat up.

To use, simply unfold the blanket on top of your bed, then plug it in and adjust the settings.

Unlike a traditional sauna, customers should wear long-sleeved tops, trousers and socks while using the sauna blanket.

Can the sauna blanket help improve sleep?

Yes, infrared heat can help trigger the release of dopamine, oxytocin and endorphins that help calm the mind and body for sleep. It’s great to use before bedtime as it helps soothe the body.

When do you use it?

The sauna blanket can be used whenever your body needs recovery so it’s ideal to use after a workout, or a long day at work. In addition, it’s also a great tool for those that suffer from joint pain as it reduces soreness.
