Your Guide to Home Heat Therapy: Sauna Blankets vs. Sauna Rooms

Infrared heat for deeper recovery, better performance, and all-season wellness

As athletes and high performers, recovery isn’t a luxury — it’s the foundation of progress. The difference between sore and strong, foggy and focused, often comes down to how well your body restores itself between sessions.

Infrared heat therapy has become a go-to tool for recovery — helping to increase circulation, ease tension, and support natural detoxification after training or long days on the go. But when it comes to bringing that power home, the question becomes: Should you invest in a sauna blanket or a full-size sauna room?

Here’s how each option stacks up so you can find your perfect fit.

🔬 How Infrared Heat Supports Recovery

Unlike traditional steam saunas that heat the air around you, far-infrared (FIR) wavelengths warm the body directly — creating a deeply penetrating, soothing heat that encourages your system to sweat, circulate, and reset.

Research suggests infrared sessions can reduce perceived muscle soreness, enhance circulation, and support overall recovery markers related to athletic performance and stress resilience.

🔥 Option 2: Full-Size Infrared Sauna Rooms

Immersive • Electric • Built for Long-Term Recovery

If you’re ready to create a true home recovery sanctuary, a full-size sauna delivers the complete experience — space to stretch, meditate, and recover in comfort.

🧠 How to Choose What’s Right for You

Both deliver the power of infrared heat, but the experience level is up to you — the blanket offers portability and convenience, while the full sauna provides that deep, sweat-soaked reset your body craves after pushing limits.

🏡 The Ultimate Recovery Routine

1. Preheat your sauna while hydrating with electrolytes.

2. Infrared session (30–40 minutes) — steady breathing, calm mind.

3. Cool down with a cold rinse or compress to reset circulation.

4. Finish on the Bio Therapy Mat to ground and balance your energy post-sweat.

Do this consistently, and you’ll feel the difference — not just in recovery, but in focus, mood, and readiness for the next challenge.
