Does the Sensse SaunaLux Infrared Sauna Blanket really work?

Ever wished you could get the benefits of a spa sauna without leaving your home? Recently I discovered the SaunaLux Infrared Sauna Blanket, design which promises detoxification, relaxation and more… all in one session. But does the Sensse SaunaLux Infrared Sauna Blanket actually work? After several months of testing it at home, here’s our honest review.

How we tried it

The blanket couldn’t be easier to set up: just unpack it from the travel bag, spread it out over a comfortable surface, plug it in and climb in. that’s it! Relax and enjoy.

The sessions run for 45 minutes, but you can always change this if you want to fit in with your routine.

The results?

I have been trying this sauna blanket for a few months now over the winter months – and I love it.

This may be a little TMI, but I will say that after a session in the sauna blanket, I was dripping. This will absolutely make you work up a sweat. Make sure to have a water bottle nearby to keep hydrated.

If I ever felt like it was too much or I was starting to overheat, I adjusted the temperature level throughout so it was hot but still comfortable enough for me to stand and I could certainly feel the effects.

I love that you can adjust the heat too so you can really get it to the optimum level for what you’re after. You have to make sure to wear something underneath it (or get a sauna blanket liner) as it does get hot in there.

The blanket itself also had enough weight to it to feel solid, like a cosy hug. I felt relaxed and definitely slept better after using it.

Even the cat enjoyed it – yes, my cat snuggled on my lap on top of the blanket to enjoy the warmth too.

Who is the SaunaLux Infrared Sauna Blanket For?

For anyone looking to create a spa-like sauna experience at home as part of their evening routine. When I’m feeling extra boogie, I also use my Sensse Elite LED face mask too.

Which Heat Therapy Is Best for You?

Wondering how the SaunaLux Infrared Sauna Blanket stacks up against a hot bath, a cosy heated blanket or a traditional sauna? Let’s talk about it…

• Choose a hot bath if you want gentle comfort and love the ritual of adding salts, oils or calming scents.
• Choose a traditional sauna if you love the full spa experience and want to leave the house to do it.
• Choose a sauna blanket if you want deeper heat with little effort.
• Choose a heated blanket if you’re craving warmth when you’re feeling chilly.

Will this replace my hot bath routine? Not exactly… it’s a difference experience, but I have certainly been reaching for my sauna blanket over my traditional bath in my evening routine more than often, especially when I want deep relaxation without too much effort.
