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.
What do you mean with 50p per hour? For what does the P stand?
@@jandemulder553 50 pence… like 50 cents
Do you mean the electricity to run costs 50p? For 60 minutes?
Doesn't look like you entered the results which is dissapointing.
Great review. Thank you. Been searching for John Foley’s comment but can’t find it?
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!
wow! This is a huge thing. Have you any idea how it helped?
Dr Rhonda Patrick has an interview about it being used for major depressive disorder :)!
Yay for you! How often do you use it, and duration??
Which brand do you have. How often and how do you use it
Placebo effect
Thank you for taking the time to put together this very comprehensive, and non-biased video! You've sold me on the idea!
Hi Laura 👋, I'm getting really addictive to your videos, I've been watching some of your old ones. Absolutely smashing, fantastic stuff. You're so good at explaining things. Well done 👍
Hey Mark, I am so pleased you like them 😀
Thanks so much for your kind words.
Hi Laura really enjoying your videos, great communication in a no nonsense style. Great stuff, keep on posting!
Excellent, thorough review. I really like that you're so honest about your opinion and what you do/don't know. Just brilliant. 🔥
I'm pleased you like the video, thank you 🙏🏼
Wow! I have never left a comment on any RUclips video, but this video was bloody brilliant. I have been longing for a sauna, but the space & price has stopped me from experiencing the health benefits. Thank you very much for this. Ciaran
What a bundle of joy you are. I love your videos, you really brighten up my day every time i watch one. And so informative and honest too. Thank you.
What a LOVELY comment! Thank you Paul 😀
Paul , I totally agree ! Your vlogs are such fun , so interesting , Laura , because you are naturally funny and so loveable . Love from me , in Normandy , France 🇫🇷 Diana
This was a terrific review. I like how honest you are about the science.
Thank you for this thoughtful and informative review! So very helpful as we begin to investigate a purchase!
Thanks for the very informative video! I like the critique you have given and it is helpful that your main interest was not to sell something! Thanks for all you do!
Thank you for your review, I just ordered that one yesterday!
Brilliant. Looking good Laura
Best review on anything I seen yet!
Thanks so much Chris. I am pleased you liked it.
Loved this video. I had no idea these blankets existed, so good to them find out and have an honest review about them also.
KG, my little pocket rocket. I'll bring it over and you guys can try it if you want?
amazing video. I love my miHIGH blanket. had it for over a year. it's helped me with so many things. I hope everyone buys this for health reasons. the calorie burning thing is just marketing to get shallow people's attention. so I don't blame them. but SO many more benefits than calorie loss. do it people. you'll be so glad you did
Watched your video even though I would never buy any sauna, I just don’t deal with heat very well BUT I watched your video because it’s YOU! Love your reviews! 😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you!
You are sooooooo sweet!!!!!!
Thank you so much for your honest and candid review. In my research to try to decide whether to invest in a sauna blanket, many of the RUclips videos I have watched seem contrived.
I appreciate your comment Patty. And I hope it helped you make your decision.
I am using mine a lot recently because of the cold weather.
I really enjoy your content and your delivery. I would enjoy a series of holistic health related travel video's. Particularly regarding sun exposure in the winter months; the effects on mood and health markers.
I have a walk-in sauna and a sauna blanket. They both work great and I agree with it being a personal preference ❤❤❤
Good in-depth review 👏
Great review Laura. If you do not want to wear clothes you can purchase a sweat absorbing sauna towel from them as part of their 'experience kit' for £74.99
I’ve gone to infrared saunas in the past and I love them but that can get very expensive in the long run, so I’ve been looking for an at home option. I saw this brand and wasn’t sure but I think this video just sold me. Great information and breakdown too. Thank you for making this!
Hey Xak, I am so pleased you found this video useful.
Did you end up buying one? If so, how are you getting on?
Just bought it!! Gonna try soon 🔜
Overshare, but I couldn’t poop sometimes about 5 weeks.
Now it’s starting to help my tummy
Thanks for that I was looking at one of these I may try one now great review .
Great info bless🙏🏾
You have got me curious to try one. I prefer a dry sauna to a humid one so this sounds great.
I will bring it over!
Let's do the calorie test on you too as a comparison 👏
Great info. Many thanks.
Thanks Laura, love your reviews 👍🏻
Thanks Rob
Thank you Laura. I bought an infrared heat pack after watching your video and it has helped to ease my lower back pain and aid muscle recovery. Enjoy watching your videos as they are very informative and educational. Keep up the good work. 👍
Hey Adrian, I am pleased you are enjoying the videos, and it's great to hear you are getting benefits from the heat pack. Thanks for letting me know 🙏🏼
Hello can you please share which one you brought . I really can’t afford $500 right now
Great review, would love to try one out, and revel in my sogginess, but not sure I have the patience to keep using it. But worth a try and thanks for the the info!
The sogginess is AWESOME!
Thanks for being honest. Very interesting!
Brilliant review. Thanks 😀
Thanks Chris 🙏🏼
This is a very informative video. Thank you! I live in pain, but cannot take pain meds because of adverse reactions. I usually have to take very hot showers for relief. I'll definitely look into getting one of these.
By the way, I'm glad to see your channel is growing. Keep up the great work and content.
Hey Roger, sorry to hear about your daily pain.
Take a look at some of the reviews on the MiHIGH website - there are some people there suffering from daily pain. It might give you some more insight.
I hope you find a solution 💫
So you tried it yet?
I bought mi high and I love it. Since its winter I go 2x a day for 30 minutes. I find th a t I got more energy and has a calming effect. My skin smoother and the aches and pains forgotten. This is my only best buy so far.
Do you have to have a shower after both times or do you not have so high pls?
Love your videos I find them very helpful, in today's stressful times i think this could help a lot of people relax. A question for you what about using one as part of meditation session
Hey Dan, thank you so much for your lovely comment.
This blanket is so relaxing, and yes, it's perfect for meditation!
Hello Laura, I loved this video. I love going to get an infrared sauna treatment, but I'm tired of dishing out money. This is something I would definitely use 3-4 times per week, so I feel it would be money worth investing, instead of going to a spa to get this treatment. Thank you for making this video. Also, I hope you don't mind me saying this, but I love your accent. :) - Mike
Hey Mike, I am pleased you liked this video 😀
Thanks for the comment.
Thank you. Very helpful
Thank you for this review.
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.
I heard it’s super common not to sweat at first in an infrared sauna!
On the detoxification point:
Sweating is a fantastic detox mechanism. The book Sauna Therapy by Dr. Lawrence Wilson lays it all out.
I have the Higher Dose sauna blanket. You can buy a two pack of towels that you insert your body in naked so you don’t have to worry about so many changes of clothes. It’s more comfortable also because it doesn’t stick to you
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.
Hello I go through similar stuff can you please share the name of your blanket need to invest in one
Hi Jeff . Thanks for sharing your experience - very interesting and encouraging to hear the benefits to your heart muscle , and your frozen feet ! 😀 Yes , I too would love to know the make of your infrared blanket .
Which brand do you use?
Cold showers and sauna
Try carnivore diet do your research
Getting one tomorrow so glad I could this video
Love this channel! Thanks 😍
Thanks Jennifer, I am pleased you like the videos 😀
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing this.
It's my pleasure Tracy, thank you 👊
@@LauraTryUK also, be mindful about stretching or exercising when the body is really warm. I learned the hard way that we tend to go a bit too deep in a pose or position when we are really warmed up. I do hot yoga religiously and get too excited on occasion and injure myself. Thank you again and be kind and gentle with yourself 👍🖖🙏💜. I love the sogginess!
@@ClaritySnacks Hey Tracy, thanks for the tip. Yes, it is easy to get excited with stretching when the body is warm.
I am envious of you doing hot yoga, I tried it a few times and loved it!
Sogginess is 🥇
great video good info
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! 🙏 🤗 ❤
Pretty nifty. Might need to check it out. Thanks for the video. 👍🏼
Thanks Geo 👊
Just received my infrared blanket! Super excited to try it out. I have arthritis and heat really helps. Love infrared saunas but don’t have the space. I’ll check back with my experience once I use it for a few days
I look forward to hearing your updates FM - please share 🙏🏼
@@LauraTryUK I have had the blanket for a few weeks now. I use it several times a week. It felt super hot the first time I used it. The setting was on 5. 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.
@@FM-mb2lu thank you for your update. I am the same with the hot spot at the bottom of my back! very hot indeed and the heels of my feet.
I am very happy you like the blanket and are getting benefits.
My sauna blanket manufacturer says you may not sweat in them at first, somehow the sweating comes after prolonged use.
Can you please provide link of where you got the blanket from. Please and thank you
“Whilst others revel in their sogginess.” 😅
oh
One of the keto twins used a sauna blanket and lost kilos of weight over a month.
I mean who doesnt love EMF!? They're an "Unbelievable" band! LOL. Sorry i'm an absolute child 😂 Great video Laura. I think your channel my just be my favourite on RUclips. I get SO much out of your videos and actually feel really good and motivated after watching your content. Its fun, wholesome and educational.
This is such a nice comment, thank you so much! I am so pleased you like the videos 🙏🏼
Thx so much for your review! I've been considering this purchase so this really helps. 🤔 Seems to me a beach towel on bottom & top would do the trick & feel less claustrophobic...?
Your a lovely lady in every way.. Enjoy life! Best wishes ❤
Actually that's a great idea to use the blanket to warm up before a stretch session!
How do these compare to wallowing in a hot bath? With gas prices on the rise, I’m wondering if this might be a cheaper and more consistently hot alternative.
I am going through this book “ How to think like Leonardo da Vinci” by Michael J. Gelb. I’m doing the workbook/notebook combo while waiting for the “text” book to arrive, but I thought that it might make for an interesting video for you. Much love from TX, USA
Hey, a good suggestion, thank you!
I think Nathaniel Drew made a similar video.....
Great review. Im Undecided between the blanket and portable sauna pod. I see you've done a review on one of those as well. Which did you prefer?
I would love to get one, thanks for your very informative video. Does it cause dry skin exposing our whole body to such heat? Thanks.
Great video was wondering what’s the best blanket heard a lot of good comments on High Dose . Worried about not getting hot thanks
Good info thanks
Hello, great video.
One question please: I have a cheaper version of a sauna blanket which is silver and smaller. I usually find that it hurts my feet after a while because of the weight of the blankets. Do you find you have this problem with this sauna blanket or do your feet feel comfortable enough throughout the whole session, without having to turn them? Thanks!
Great review ...
I have used both the dome type and traditional type infrared suanas. I love both however the major pro of these types is your head is not getting the heat unlike the traditional wooden saunas.
The MiHigh is available in Australia $699
Thank you.
Brilliant !
Was thinking I'd bring it over when I visit. That then a Theragun - DREEEEAM!!!
Great review video. Very interesting. I have read lots about the benefits of heat therapy and also hot/cold therapy. Especially on Tim Ferriss' podcast and in interviews with Rick Rubin and Laird Hamilton. I'd love to give one a go, but my concern is a point you raised is I don't know if I'd use it a few times and then put it under the bed.
Have you used one of those acupuncture type mats? I had one bought for me last year and I struggle to lie on it for prolonged periods. Maybe this is something you could explore in another video?
Ooooo, a Tim Ferriss podcast with Laird Hamilton - *searching internet
that spikey mat thing is on my list - my friend texted me just this morning about his. Great video idea!
Hi Laura! I love your video, come across your channel because I want to find about home sauna.
I have a question for you, do you think this sauna can effect breast implants in any way?
Or if I need to use some kind of cover for chest area?
Thank you!
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?
I have rosacea too. Thank you for making me aware it’s not good for rosacea.
thank you very much
Would you recommend getting directly into it after a a workout. Just thinking logistics of working up a sweat then showering the sauna bag followed by another shower. I can only fit in my workout in the evenings but primarily want to try improving sleep by using the sauna bag
I got an infrared lamp, pretty decent, might get one of these and sell the lamp.
It's best to wear a towel material robe so it absorbs the sweat and is easiest for change transition as well as most comfortable, another option is all cotton waffle material pj's / long johns .
Thanks, v helpful
Good review.. thx
Great video! Just wanted to check if you still think they are helping you and if you are still using it? Thanks again for a great video
Thanks again for your helpful information....
I.have a n infrared light therapy panel which hangs on my wall and I go from there....
Along with the light you receive some daft goggles to protect your eyes from the IR light....
Is that necessary with your blanket ???
Perhaps it's an apples and oranges type of thing.....
Laura, thinking of getting something like this for rheumatic joint pain and bad skin (acne), after a good sweat you pores are going to be open, would you recommend a cool shower straight afterwards to close them?
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 😊
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.
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 🧘🏼♀️
@@jasonfoster9118 Hey Jason, I am loving the idea of using a sauna (or blanket) during a fast! Ace idea 🙌🏼
@@jasonfoster9118 The one I have is not steam, it's dry heat from infrared and also it has a ceramic heater unit for an extra boost of dry heat. I will try it while fasted 👍
Can you compare the sauna chair to the blanket. Which is your preference
Nice job
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.
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 😀
Great. Would be great to somehow add it to the video description section. Cheers.
@@LauraTryUK
@@quantummath Added as a pinned comment ✔️
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. 🤔
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
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.
Thanks
Hi Tracey, you have been so generous with your ‘Thanks’. Thank you so much! I really appreciate your support 🙏
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?
Hey Laura maybe you could make a video of the oura ring it's called the sleep ring I have one and love it it's great to wake up and find out how many hours you've slept it tells you alot more and it's not as balky as a watch
Hey Brock, I am liking your suggestion. I have added it to my ideas list 💍
Hi i would like to know if it increases heart rate like a regular sauna does? I really need to have this feeling of sweating and panting and nobody seems to be able to answer
Hi Bertille, it does increase the heart rate but not quite as much as a regular sauna. The sweating is intense though.
Great video
Thank you!
Hi Laura, just discovered your channel, love it. One question with the MiHigh blanket, do you have it on the highest heat setting if not what setting, dose it get hot enough, there is other sauna blankets on the market that reach a higher heat, is this nessary or dose MiHigh get plenty hot enough 😊 sorry just watched your review again, my apologies, level 7 👍🥴😁
Thank you
Fantastic informative video has anyone used this with an ice bath as I heard it could give you even more benefits especially if you finish on the cold ????👍
I want one!! I bet I would love it!! Really the downside is the soggy clothes, but otherwise it sounds amazing!!
It is really great, and yes to the soggy clothes .... but still worth it 👍
Dr Rhonda Patrick has a great article about sauna benefits.
im thinking about getting something like this because i been getting stiff over my entire body...i dont know if its my bed or just not flexible. I used to go to the sauna after working out and didnt really think about about it. But, what i want to know. is it better to get something laying down or sitting up? what is the benefit of having your head out vs your entire body in?
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?
Can you?
How are you measuring the calory burn!!!!!???
Hello, do u think thats the best brand?
So is this better than the portable regular saunas
