Infrared sauna blankets are portable and compact devices that are designed to provide the benefits of traditional saunas using infrared heat technology. Often referred to as “infrared sauna sleeping bags,” these gadgets use infrared heating technology, which is a form of electromagnetic radiation that can penetrate the skin and warm the body directly without heating the surrounding air. Many infrared sauna blankets have adjustable temperature controls and safety features like automatic shut-off timers.

There are so many kinds of sauna blankets on the market today, so if you’re trying to narrow down your choices, here are some of the best.

HigherDose Infrared Sauna Blanket

The Infrared Sauna Blanket from HigherDose is currently rated at 4.88 stars based on over 2,500 reviews, so if that doesn’t convince you, I don’t know what will. Made with water and high-temperature-resistant Polyurethane, this blanket offers far infrared rays, which are meant to encourage a detoxifying sweat, help increase your heart rate slightly (about the pace of a jog), and contribute to glowing skin. This year, HigherDose has improved on their blanket’s design by replacing the velcro closure with a zipper.

Hydragun sauna blanket

Hydragun Heatpod Sauna Blanket

Hands down, one of the best infrared blankets on the market today is the Hydragun Heatpod Sauna blanket, which retails for about $550.  Since this sauna blanket is made from premium SGS-certified vegan leather, it’s sweat and odor resistant. With a timer that has a range of 5-60 minutes and a temperature range from 86-176 degrees Fahrenheit, you’ll be able to tailor your sweat session to your needs.

MiHigh sauna blanket

MiHIGH Infrared Sauna Blanket V2

The MiHIGH Infrared Sauna Blanket V2 is another great option. Retailing at $499, this infrared sauna blanket comes with a PU leather exterior, a nontoxic and waterproof inner layer, and a carrying bag for easy transportation. To clean, just lay it out flat and wipe the sweat away with a towel. Then, use a natural cleaning spray.

Rejuva Lifepro sauna blanket

Rejuva Wrap Infrared Sauna Blanket

Surnuo Sauna Blanket

Surnuo Sauna Blanket

For a less expensive option, consider a Surnuo Sauna Blanket. For convenience, this infrared blanket has sleeves. While the sleeves don’t have the infrared therapy technology, they do help retain heat. With a timer of 15 to 60 minutes and an adjustable temperature, this is a great budget-friendly option at around $160.

Ultimately, the best infrared sauna blanket for you will be one that enhances your well-being, promotes relaxation, and fits seamlessly into your lifestyle. If infrared sauna blankets aren’t for you, perhaps try an at-home sauna instead. But before incorporating this wellness practice into your routine, consider consulting with your healthcare professional, especially if you have underlying conditions.

The 8 best protein shakes that are ready-to-go
These shakes come with all the good stuff, and none of the crap

With as busy as we have become as a society, we always seem to be on the go. This can make life challenging, especially when it comes to wellness goals. In a perfect world, you could hit the gym hard, crush a workout, then immediately refuel with a balanced, home-cooked meal. But, since life happens and we are always on the go, it’s not always feasible to take the time to actually cook up a muscle-building meal right after your workout. Whether you’re on the go and short on time, or just can't stomach a full meal after exercising, having a quick and easy, protein-packed option that doesn’t require kitchen time, is a helpful alternative to refuel your body and maximize your results.

This is where protein shakes come in handy. Numerous ready-to-drink shakes are available that provide muscle-building protein, vitamins, minerals, and calories to fortify your body after a workout. They offer the benefits of protein powders with the convenience of eliminating the need for a shaker bottle, or high-speed blender, let alone making a mess with powders. Simply give the bottle a quick shake, pop the top, and you’re good to go.

The 10 best men’s workout shirts to help you get fit in 2023

There are multiple things to consider when purchasing new workout apparel. You want to make sure you do your due diligence beforehand. When looking for the optimal workout shirt, functionality often takes precedence over style, for most men. After all, a minimalist cotton t-shirt is ideal, but it won't look (or smell) so great after an hour-long workout, especially if your working out, outdoors. That's why, in the past decade, some of our favorite activewear brands like Lululemon, Vuori, and Under Armour have developed breathable fabrics with moisture-wicking and odor-fighting technology that are now practically must-haves for any exercise gear, especially when it comes to making high-quality shirts.

That being said, not all workout tops are created equal. When it comes to finding the right workout fit, make sure it doesn't feel too tight or baggy around your underarms, your shoulders, or across your chest, i.e., the areas you exercise most. We sifted through some of the most popular brands to select the best workout shirts that are as practical as they are fashionable. Here are our top picks for the best men's workout shirts of 2023.
