I wasn’t sure what I would think to the HigherDOSE Infrared Sauna Blanket when I first got it to test, but I have fallen absolutely head over heels for it! If you are looking to up the ante on the self-care stakes, and really focus on your wellness, you might want to check out this at home wellness treatment tech. As I said, I’m loving it.
What is the HigherDOSE Sauna Blanket?
HigherDOSE is a female founded brand. Lauren Berlingeri and Katie Kaps, both biohackers founded HigherDOSE to empower people with technology to take control of their own biology to improve health and wellbeing.
The HigherDOSE Sauna Blanket is designed to deliver a range of benefits in an easy to use, at home format:
- 45 minute treatment
- Uses infrared heat
- Thermal energy gives off heat which is soaked up by your skin
- Raises your body temperature to trigger a deep detox
- Uses layers of charcoal, crystal and clay to promote deep relaxation
- Works to drain your body of toxins including chemicals and heavy metals
- Designed to heal damaged tissue
- Soothes post-workout soreness
- Boosts circulation to deliver key nutrients your body needs
How Does it Work?
The Higher Dose Sauna Blanket works by emitting Infrared light to create thermal energy to heat up the body.
When your body temperature is raised, a deep detox begins, and toxins are released from the body, delivering a range of health and wellness benefits at home.
Also, layers of charcoal, clay and magnetic layers flush out toxins and impurities.
How to Use a Sauna Blanket
Step 1: Wear clothing and socks to cover your skin.
Step 2: Lay the Sauna Blanket on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
Step 3: Grab a towel to use as a barrier between your body and the blanket.
Step 4: Turn the blanket on and leave it to pre-heat for 10 minutes.
Step 5: Slip into the sauna blanket and zip it up. Enjoy a deeply relaxing 30–45 minute session.
Step 6: Rinse yourself off in an ice-cold shower to cleanse and cool your body. It’ll also boost your healing benefits.
It is recommended that you use the Higher Dose Sauna Blanket once a week to begin with and then build up to 2–3 times a week. I ramped up pretty quickly because I enjoy using it so much.
My Review of the HigherDOSE Sauna Blanket
I have been testing the HigherDOSE Sauna Blanket for a couple of months, and as I said at the top, I absolutely love it.
I have never loved traditional saunas because I really don’t enjoy inhaling hot air. It’s just a personal thing, but being able to use this device at home it completely solves that problem.
I have to say, I really look forward to my sessions because it is just so relaxing. I like to have a really good sweat so I use it on setting 7 which gets pretty hot but I never feel burning.
You are supposed to turn it on to preheat and then get in after 10 minutes, but I love getting straight in and experiencing it slowly warming up my body. It is super relaxing and gives me some much needed time to relax and switch off.
By the end of the session, I am seriously sweaty (like I’ve done hours on the peloton!) and my heart is pumping. It certainly makes you feel alive.
I have found that is great for getting my circulation going and also for relieving water retention around my stomach and my ankles. I have a thing about my puffy ankles and I have definitely seen an impressive improvement there. I’m very pleased.
It is great to use in the evening before bed, as it is so relaxing. However, at the weekends I like to start my day with a session as the detox benefits really set me up for the day. Plus it gets my blood pumping and my skin glowing. It would be the perfect prep for a night out releasing all your water retention in keys areas and just giving you a general detox.
The maintenance is super easy to use. I just wipe it down with antibacterial spray and then fold it away once it’s completely cooled down. I store it under my bed and pull it out whenever I fancy some me time.

Sauna Blanket Frequently Asked Questions
I asked my friends on Instagram what they would like to know about my experience with the Sauna Blanket and I have summarised everything below. Please let me know if there is anything else you would like to know.
What is the Infrared Sauna Blanket made of?
The blanket has a non-toxic PU leather body and an industrial zipper for easy use. Within the blanket, there are multiple layers to give you a powerful, full-body detox. Crystal therapy generates negative ions to heal the body and fight off free radicals. Also, charcoal, clay and magnetic layers flush out toxins.
What are the measurements of the blanket?
The folded size for storage is 60cm by 90cm. Unfolded and in use, the blanket measures 180cm by 90cm.
What do you wear with the blanket?
You can buy a towel insert to go in the blanket, however, I simply use a full length top and trousers with socks to completely cover my skin. My pyjamas do this job very well. The Modal fabric soaks up the sweat really well and they are super easy to wash.
How Hot is the Sauna Blanket?
This is entirely up to you. There are 8 heat settings. I choose 7 because I like a really good sweat. It feels hot but completely tolerable.
What is the difference between the Infrared Sauna and the Infrared Sauna Blankets?
First of all, ease of access is the main difference. With your own sauna blanket at home, you can use it whenever you like and will never need to book a session or leave the house. There is some research that suggests that sauna blankets are even more effective than infrared saunas.
Is it easy to use?
It’s so easy to use! Just unfold it, plug it in and set your temperature. Then you get in and enjoy.
Is it comfortable?
It is really comfortable. Just make sure you cover your skin with clothing and socks before you get in.
How to maintain it and keep it clean
The HigherDOSE Sauna Blanket is really easy to maintain. I simply wipe it down with a cloth and antibacterial spray (I use Method) and then let it cool down before folding it away.
Is it relaxing?
Using the sauna blanket is one of the most relaxing things I do. It is so warm and comforting, and I often fall asleep. It has an auto timer so turns itself off once the session is complete.
