Infrared Sauna Blankets: Prices and Trade-offs

By Marcus Ellery. Prices checked .

The short version

An infrared sauna blanket is a heated sleeping-bag style wrap that plugs into a wall outlet and stores in a closet. The two we priced were $399 and $699. A cabin starts at $4,799, so a blanket is the lowest cost way to try infrared heat at home.

What to check on a blanket

  • Inside length if you are tall
  • Maximum temperature and number of heat levels
  • Timer and auto shut-off
  • Safety listing such as ETL or UL
  • Warranty length
  • Whether an insert or towel wrap is included or costs extra

Using one safely

Follow the maker's instructions. Wear light clothing or use the insert so skin does not touch the heated surface, drink water, and stop if you feel dizzy or unwell. Check with your doctor first if you are pregnant or have a health condition.

Other small options

Not sure a blanket is for you? Portable domes and tents sit between a blanket and a cabin. See portable saunas, or go straight to 1 person cabins.

Questions people ask

How much is an infrared sauna blanket?

The HigherDOSE blanket was $699 at an authorized dealer and the MiHIGH blanket has a $399 list price. Prices change with promotions, so check the seller.

Is a sauna blanket as good as a sauna?

It is a different experience. A blanket heats your body lying down with your head out, for one person. A cabin surrounds you while seated and can be shared. A blanket costs a fraction as much.
