A few notes about this video: 1. the blanket has an automatic switch off when the time has elapsed, so there is no concern about falling asleep and actually turning into a jacket potato. 2. This particular blanket comes with a 30-day money back guarantee which is pretty cool - try it, don't like it, return it. 3. Re: EMF - there is a GREAT comment about this below - look for John Foley's comment, he's a Physics Teacher! 4. The running costs are around 50p per hour. 5. I am going to do a test on a friend with the calorie burn, someone who isn't as active as me - I will add the results here.

I have used two other sauna blankets. I was immediately relieved of severe clinical depression. It's over 2 months right now that my mood has remained good. It's a complete miracle in my life! I also have a very clean diet which I'm sure helps. But if you have depression, get a sauna blanket if at all possible!

Placebo effect

[@jeffjordan3806]

My cardiologist recommended it for me since I've had 2 heart attacks. He says it will help improve my heart muscles. I'm also diabetic and have very poor circulation in my hands and feet. So, two more benefits for me are that it makes my heart healthier and increases circulation. My feet used to be frozen when going to bed. I use an electric blanket but it would take several hours for my feet to warm up. Using my Far Infrared blanket, anytime during the evening, even several hours before going to bed, I find my feet are never frozen. I love it. I do not have the same MiHIGH blanket, but a much cheaper one.

Thanks for this Laura! I have a portable fold-open, sit-inside, low-emf infrared sauna. Love the idea of the blanket though, as it can travel more easily... yet wonder about the phthalates / toxins being released from the highly-heated interior sleeve (made of rubbery plastics). Will look into this... PS Just donated for your awesome healing psilo video. Keep up the good work please. This "whirled" needs you, bigtime! 🙏 🤗 ❤

[@joannew612]

Love that you've reviewed this sauna blanket Laura 😁 I was looking to buy one but found a Firzone portable infrared sauna which is like a human size giant cool bag with a chair inside 🤣 I look rather ridiculous in it with my head poking out the top but oh my - I absolutely love it! I sweat buckets in it 🔥 and feel incredibly relaxed during and afterwards. So happy I bought it. I have a cold shower straight after 30mins in the sauna and feel really good. I have no idea how it affects my physiology in terms of calories burned/heat shock proteins/HRV etc but mentally I can certainly feel a difference for relaxation and stress relief so I'm happy with that 😊

[@jasonfoster9118]

I have one of those. It's not perfect but it gets the job done. The only complaint I have about mine is that the steam can actually burn the skin and no matter the power setting, it just seems to go full steam ahead and I have to keep opening it to let some of the heat out starting around the 15 minute mark. You should try it during a prolonged fast. It really is a comfort on an empty stomach and you'll find your heat tolerance is much higher without excess body heat from food calories.

[@LauraTryUK]

Hey Joanne, I love the sound of your sauna - sounds EPIC! I totally agree on the relaxation part - the first 15 minutes are a dream. Then it starts to get HOOOT! The decrease in stress must be doing something good 🧘🏼‍♀️

Infrared is the most efficient heat source when used properly. I pointed an 800 watt infrared heater at my bed with a large black blanket abs the blanket got so hot, that it served as a space heater. It heated the space better than 1500 watt space heater I had also used.

After a few times I was comfortable to bump it to 6. The one place on my body that becomes uncomfortable is my lower back at the top of my butt. 😂 I have to protect and cushion that area more. I absolutely love the blanket and feel amazing after using it. Very refreshed. I don’t sweat as much as I thought but not willing to turn up the volume quite yet. I have arthritis so it’s fantastic for my joints.

I am in the US and have a higher dose sauna blanket and I LOVE it. I recently got rosacea so quit using it for a month and then decide it probably does more good than harm. Higher Dose makes terrycloth towel bag inserts that are AMAZING! No clothes needed! I have 2 and I flip them inside out and hang to dry, then use the dry side again, so 2 uses out of each towel. SO glad I spent the extra on the towel liners. One thing I don’t understand: how does infrared light get through a towel or clothes?? Anyone know?

Everyone is going to have different results from using these blankets If you are fit with a low percentage of body fat you will not see much difference in your body but Well have results from all the other added benefits . If you are a person with a higher percentage of body fat you are definitely going to see a change in you body with all the added benefits Including boosting your metabolism 👍 Taking your measurements before starting would be a good way to monitor your progress.

Thrilled to see you had done a video on this a year ago. I really enjoy your content, BTW. Funny, I just bought one (a different brand but also from down-unda, similar price. Just used it for the first time but didn’t sweat. I may need to warm it up for longer and also use a towel to help cover the opening at the top. Also bought a platinumLED for near IR treatments. I’m looking forward to putting some mileage on both.

[@quantummath]

9:14 hey Laura! loved your video and thumbs up from me. Regarding calory consumption measurement: most figures given by sports watches (e.g. Garmin Fenix pro solar that I use), are approximations for an average body. I do regular kayaking ranging from 5km to 30km. And I can assure you, even counting from normal laws of physics,e.g. work = distance x force, the amount of energy I consume in a normal kayaking session depends on each and every factor: opposite wind, side wind, the type of paddle I use, my technique efficiency, and many more. That IR blanket gives a measurement for again, the average population. Most of the population here in Germany and I'd say even more so in the UK have a 30+ body fat percentage; far from an average health-conscious and usually fit person.

[@LauraTryUK]

Hey Quantam, thanks so much for the thumbs up 👍 And also for your comment. I am going to do a calorie test with the blanket on a few friends and see what results we get with them 😀

[@quantummath]

Great. Would be great to somehow add it to the video description section. Cheers. @@LauraTryUK

[@LauraTryUK]

@@quantummath Added as a pinned comment ✔️

[@RC-ic1co]

So I was also asking myself, how to relate to the calorie burn claim. I really don't know, but here is my speculation: Could it be, that a fitness watch/etc. is basically just estimating your calorie expenditure based on heart rate (and your fixed inputs on age, sex, height, weight) over time? So basically it calculates solely your energy expenditure through activity (but baseline energy expenditure is assumed as a given in addition to that). Now wouldn't the energy expenditure through a infrared sauna session fall into the court of baseline energy expenditure? E.g. that your non-activity-related energy expenditure goes up while in the blanket? TL;DR: I think you can't measure those additional calories burnt when in the blanket with your fitness watch. 🤔

[@quantummath]

I agree. If I were among Garmin engineers trying to come up with a model that best estimates the energy consumption, I'd certainly take into account factors such as muscle mass and their proportion of each type, body fat composition of all fat types, and certainly the VO2 Max that I think might play an important factor, along with heart rate, age, gender, and visible measurements. @@RC-ic1co

Hi LT, fab video as always, however I am a bit confused about this product, to me it looks like a double sided heater blanket as opposed to being an IR cocoon as I cannot see how the light can breakthrough the inner lining in the first place then through your clothing to eventually penetrate your skin? If somebody can clarify that for me I would be most grateful as I am looking for a IR sauna solution.

Just some advise. Wear cotton clothing inside the blanket. It looks like you are wearing spandex nylon type workout clothes. You are defeating the purpose of the detox if you are releasing and sweating inside of clothing that isn't natural like 100% organic cotton.

Saw an advert for these today, but didnt know they existed. My wife suffers from a rare auto-immune disease. She noticed that when she visits a country with a hotter climate, her pain levels are reduced. After seeing the advert, I looked for more info and came across your video. Well explained!!!! I am now looking more into these blankets and hoping it will help my wife to become more pain free. Just one question though. Is it necessary to wear clothes and could a towel be laid underneath the body to catch the sweat? As the blanket is waterproof, surely this would be ok? Anyway, great video with lots of info.

[@LauraTryUK]

Hey Danny, I think the clothes are recommended to absorb the sweat but I have also been considering using a towel under and over my body. Perhaps using no clothes/towel would be too hot, but then again, the blanket could be turned down? I am a little confused to be honest. I hope your wife finds a solution to get some more comfort.

I think I would try placing a thin bath towel on the bottom of the blanket and maybe one over the top of me instead of wearing clothes. I live in the USA in the state of Florida and we just don’t have a clothes other than shorts and bathing suits! LOL And we have plenty of beach towels.

Hi Laura, are you still using it, if so any updates ? thanks and happy new year

[@LauraTryUK]

Hi Pappa. I am still using it. It is winter here in the UK and use a couple of times a week which feels lush.

Are these safe for the testicals if the infrared penetrates as deeply as you say?

[@Pipkiss]

Great video, Laura.. I don't know what to say, just wanna say Hi :p

How would infrared light be able to penetrate through the skin if you are wearing clothes?

A year late - Hoping you see and reply if you're still using a blanket. Do you miss having your head inside the full sauna? I am surprised I can't find comments about this anywhere. Just from an overall experience standpoint I feel like the head out may ruin it a bit.

Hey greg - never too late. I actually lent the blanket to a friend who was training for a desert marathon - she used it to do heat acclimation. The blanket isn't like a regular sauna, I really enjoy that whole experience, however, this is really great for home use and gets really hot! I don't miss not having my head warm/hot when using this because of the intense sweat.

Good info thanks

Laura, dumb question. If you have sinus issues can the blanket help seeing as though your head is outside the blanket? Does the light need to hit the area of your body directly you want?

[@sarahjanequinn1882]

Can you?

[@mihiustv]

Thanks!

[@rolandw3868]

Can you put the blanket on your head/face a bit or is that not save?

[@traceygoodman6203]

Good review.. thx

Could someone please advise what is the maximum amount of time I could spend in it on medium heating, for example? Can I sleep in it for 4 or more hours with small heat?
