    HeatPod 2 in a plain white background

    Introducing the HeatPod 2 – the newer, hotter version of our best-selling HeatPod Sauna Blanket.

    Like the HeatPod 1, the HeatPod 2 still has ZERO ion-emitting crystals, curative magnets, or charcoal layers meant to somehow purify you from pollution.

    So why should you buy it?

    Because we stuck to our guns, continued to skip the gimmicks, and doubled down on the things that really matter to our users.

    In developing the second-generation HeatPod, our product team surveyed hundreds of users and studied thousands of product reviews from across the price spectrum.

    Here are five things we did to make it the best – and also still the best value – sauna blanket to purchase in 2024:

    1. It’s the hottest on the market – and you can tell

    First, we made the HeatPod 2 hotter, and with temperature settings up to 185°F (85°C) it’s now the hottest sauna blanket on the market as far as we know.

    We did this as the biggest complaint amongst users across all price points is that their blanket doesn’t get hot enough for them, especially as they get used to frequent sauna sessions and their body adapts to the heat stress.

    This may especially affect men, who tend to be physically larger with a higher skin surface area that allows for more efficient heat exchange, which may cause them to get used to higher temperatures more easily. But we’ve also seen and heard feedback from many female users – both of the HeatPod 1 and of our top competitors – that they want their blankets to get hotter. The option of a higher maximum temperature also helps the HeatPod 2 to heat up faster so you don’t have to wait as long for it to be ready, especially in colder weather.

    We also added new heat retention features which we’ve not seen in any other blanket – including elegant magnet closures at the top of the blanket and a double-sided zipper to make it easier for you to close the blanket all the way up, preventing heat leakage.

    HeatPod 2 features a double-sided zipper and magnetic clasp for maximal heat retention. It also goes up to 85°C/185°F

    What we kept: We retained the fully Faraday-shielded zero-EMF heating coils that won us the title of “Best Zero-EMF Sauna Blanket” in so many roundups and reviews.

    2. We dealt with the industry’s biggest eyesore

    The biggest eyesore on sauna blankets across the market is the remote control. That’s because every brand we know of, including the most premium options, uses very old-style OEM remote controls that come standard from very similar factory suppliers. That’s why you’ll rarely see remote controls featured prominently in product shots.

    We replaced the remote on the HeatPod 2 with a sleeker model with a simplified UI, and added new features like a Remember Last Mode option. This makes it effortless for you to maintain – or gradually increase – the length and intensity of your sauna sessions over time. At the request of several customers, we also programmed in an alert at the end to let you know when your session is done, so you don’t have to worry if you fall asleep.

    What we kept: We retained the HeatPod 1’s plush, butter-soft vegan leather, which a surprising number of reviewers – including editors at Marie Claire, Vice, Rolling Stone, Women’s Health and dozens of other users – have gone out of their way to compliment. It’s been SGS-tested as free from over 240 substances of concern, and uses a water-based production process (better for you than solvent-based vegan leathers).

    We also stuck to far-infrared heating coils with a range of up to 14,000 nanometers – as the longer wavelength allows for deeper penetration into your tissues than near-infrared options.

    Finally, we also kept the same precision temperature control from the HeatPod 1, so you can customize your sessions to just the right temperature for you, to within 2°F (1°C). (Other premium sauna blankets can have as few as just 9 different settings - see the table below for comparison)

    3. It’s comfier – with a fix for a surprisingly common issue

    You’ll be laying in your blanket for up to an hour at a time, and we want you to be comfortable throughout. So we added an additional 4” (10cm) of legroom, and made a pillow and footrest in the same wipe-clean vegan leather as the HeatPod, so you don’t need to sweat into your own pillows.

    graphic showing that HeatPod 2 is taller than the competition

    You might not think you need a footrest, and neither did we at first. But our product team’s user surveys and interviews revealed that the most common niggling pebble-in-your-shoe problem people faced while using their sauna blankets was that the weight of the blanket would press down on the tops of their feet and crush their toes, much like a weighted blanket would.

    So we created a footrest that can be placed in an upright ‘D’ position at the base of the blanket, to help take the weight off your toes. The footrest can also be popped under the ankles or knees to elevate the feet or place the spine in a comfortable neutral position.

    What we kept: The use of a zipper instead of velcro flaps, and the lack of extra crystals, stones, charcoal/clay layers, etc makes HeatPod 2 a little less bulky than other options – even those with similar measurements.

    4. Better peace of mind

    When you invest in a higher-ticket item, you want to vet your purchase carefully.

    Most premium sauna blanket brands offer a 30-day return period – but consumers should be aware of the fine print.

    Our major competitors all either make the customer pay for return shipping, which can be hefty given that sauna blankets are relatively large and substantial; charge significant restocking fees; or do not accept returns unless the blanket is in an unused or pristine condition – which can make it tricky for you to really test it out, since that inevitably involves sweating into it!

    To our knowledge, we are the only premium brand to stand by our product with a true 30-day trial and truly free returns (see the table below for a more detailed comparison).

    In addition, HeatPod 2 comes with an automatically registered 1.5-year warranty, and we commit to prompt, good-faith after sales service even after the warranty period ends.

    As a smaller business, we truly value every single customer, and our Customer Service team works hard to make sure we take care of every single one.

    We currently respond to customer emails within just 3.4 hours on average – down from 7.03 hours a year ago. And our average time to full resolution (i.e. the issue is fully resolved to your satisfaction) is just 30.2 hours – down from 38.3 hours a year ago.

    Of course, some issues take longer to work out than others, and some months are busier. But the point is that we won’t leave you hanging, and if you’re not having a good time with our product, we’re committed to treating you fairly and making it right.

    5. Still the best deal in town

    With its top-notch specs, well-thought-out features, and stellar after-sales support, we believe HeatPod 2 is the best sauna blanket you can buy in 2024 – beating out not just cheaper blankets but also similarly-priced and even more expensive options:

    Competitor details based on information from the brand’s official website at the time of writing.

    So if you plan to invest in a sauna blanket this year, we hope you’ll consider the HeatPod, instead of other options that cost more, don’t get as hot, don’t let you customize the temperature, have less robust EMF shielding, don’t give you a proper 30-day trial, etc etc.

    Sleep and sound!

    I purchased the sauna blanket as suggested by my doctor for heavy metal detox. I also suffer from anxiety and insomnia.

    I have used the blanket 2x and had a wonderful experience and slept like a baby. Full 7/8 hours.

    I like the zipper and timer and no frills. Just what I needed to help me relax on days I cannot squeeze in a run. :)

    Love it!

    I am 66 years young and workout 5-6 days a week.

    This sauna blanket relaxes my muscles and relieves a lot of tension in my body.

    This was a purchase I had debated for quite some time and finally decided to purchase knowing that I could return it without and hassle or return shipping costs.

    I am very happy with my purchase and highly recommend this sauna blanket

    I am very cynical when it comes to online purchases, and prior to ordering the Heatpod I did a lot of research ie value for money, scientific data and health.

    My Heatpod arrived interstate within three days. I also received the Hydragun as a complimentary gift which was a bonus.

    The Heatpod is working really well, the whole family is using it. Easy to clean, easy to use. I’m very happy with this purchase.

    Loving it so far

    My husband thought I was bit crazy when this arrived...then he got in. He had been using it a lot as am I.

    Great for pulled muscle and arthritis in the knees...I haven't used it over 145° yet, but that did not make me sweaty.

    The blankets are nice. I was expected only a towel type but they are a pocket which covers you top and bottom, Get them, they was up great.

    Best purchase I’ve made in a LONG time!

    I’ve toyed with getting a sauna for several years now. I never pulled the trigger due to space and cost. I wasn’t sold on the idea of a sauna blanket until I saw this one was zero EMF.

    I’m so glad I found this. I’ve noticed an improvement in energy levels already. I can’t wait to see what other benefits lie ahead.

    The “sleeping-bag-style” towel is very handy and helpful. If you’re on the fence about the towel, get it.

    Highly recommend

    The Heatpod is near the best purchase I have made for my health in years! Have been using for a few weeks now. Biggest findings:

    1. IMPROVED SLEEP! I have had trouble sleeping for many years and find using the blanket for 20 minutes at night has helped the depth and length of sleep. Waking up much more refreshed.

    2. Overall body aches and pains much improved. 17 year surgical career takes its toll on a body and I am finding my overall stiffness, nagging aches and pains are vanishing. This leads to better work outs and deeper stretches.

    3. Skin is much softer and using less body lotion. Living in Calgary, it is so ridiculously dry here (living in Calgary/ Southern Alberta is bad for your overall health in general) and I am finding the need for much less lotion. etc.

    MUST BUY!

    Great Pod

    I love it because i train a lot, from weighted calisthenics to MMA and JiuJitsu, recovery is a HUGE need for me due to the insanity of my training. This helps a TON!

    I use it anywhere that has an outlet and anytime I want throughout the day. Thankful for this device!
