Sauna Blankets.
Far-infrared sauna blankets sit at the lowest entry point of the Telos range. You lie down, set the temperature, and the blanket warms your body directly from neck to toe over a thirty- to forty-five-minute session.
Sauna blankets, in plain language.
A sauna blanket is a multi-layer fabric envelope with carbon-fibre infrared heating elements running through the inner shell. You lie inside it on a yoga mat or a bed, with your head out of the top, and a digital controller sets the internal temperature anywhere between 35°C and 80°C. The blanket reaches its working range in around ten to fifteen minutes; a typical session runs thirty to forty-five minutes.
The case for a blanket is space and price. A folded blanket fits a wardrobe shelf, runs from a 13A plug, and costs significantly less than a fixed cabin. The case against is posture: lying flat is a different physical experience from sitting upright in a wooden cabin, more akin to a long bath than a session at a Finnish spa. Most owners are content with the trade.
The variables that matter when comparing blankets are heater layout (look for full-circumference coverage, not just a back panel), EMF level at the user's torso, the inner liner material (medical-grade non-toxic interior, easily wiped clean), and the maximum temperature the controller will hold steady. A well-made blanket lasts five to seven years of regular use; a thin one fails at the seams inside two.
Asked & answered.
The questions we get most about sauna blankets. Anything missing, the phone is the quickest way through.
What do I wear inside a sauna blanket?
Most owners wear a long-sleeved cotton top and full-length cotton trousers — the layer keeps the inner liner clean and absorbs sweat. Some prefer a lightweight base layer. Going in directly against the inner liner shortens the blanket's life because cleaning the liner thoroughly between uses becomes harder.
How is a blanket different from a cabin sauna?
A blanket warms your body directly through full skin contact, lying flat. A cabin warms a heated air-and-wood envelope around you, sitting upright. The body's sweat response is similar; the experience is markedly different. Many owners use a blanket as their daily option and visit a public spa for the cabin experience occasionally.
Is it safe for daily use?
For most adults, yes — the same general guidance as any heat exposure applies: stay hydrated, do not use after alcohol, and keep sessions reasonable. If you are pregnant, taking medication that affects thermoregulation, or have a cardiovascular condition, speak to your GP first. Sessions of forty-five minutes at 70°C are routine for daily users.
How do I clean it?
Wipe the inner liner with a damp microfibre cloth and a small amount of mild detergent after each session, then air-dry with the blanket open. Never machine-wash the blanket itself. A removable inner liner sleeve simplifies hygiene further and is worth the upgrade if your blanket offers it.
How big is a folded blanket?
Roughly the size of a folded duvet — 60 × 50 × 20 cm — and around four to five kilograms. Most owners store theirs in a wardrobe or under the bed. The controller and cable detach for storage on better units.
