Choosing an infrared sauna blanket

An infrared sauna blanket is a padded, sleeping-bag-style wrap with heating elements built in. You lie down inside it, usually on a bed, couch or mat, with your head out. It is the smallest and simplest way to get infrared heat at home: no assembly, and it folds away when you are done.

What to compare

  • Arm access: the Nicebeam has 45 cm arm holes and the $152 blanket has arm sleeves, so you can hold a phone or book.
  • Heating: the Nicebeam uses low EMF carbon fiber heating wire. The Nushape lists dual heating zones and zero EMF construction.
  • Controls: the Nicebeam includes a remote, and it is offered in a regular version or with red light therapy for $729.
  • Materials and cleaning: the Nicebeam lists fireproof PU, waterproof PVC and a soft inner lining that wipes clean. The $152 blanket uses 5 layers with a waterproof exterior and flame-retardant cotton.
  • Inserts: the $90 cotton Sauna Wrap Insert fits inside the Nushape wrap to absorb sweat. It is machine washable.

Power and use

All the powered blankets run on a standard 120V outlet and draw 400 to 600 W, far less than a cabin. The Nicebeam listing says it pre-heats in about 10 minutes. Follow each maker's guidance on session length and temperature. Wear light cotton clothing or use an insert, and wipe the lining after each session.

Blanket or cabin?

A blanket costs a fraction of a cabin and needs no space. But you lie still inside it, and it heats only you. If you want to sit upright, stretch or share, compare 1 person infrared saunas from $1,216 or sauna pods. For other fold-away options, see portable saunas and portable steam saunas.
