Short answer: for the THERAVA blanket, plan for a suitable, stable surface at least 183 × 79 cm (72 × 31 in), with a little clear space around it, a suitable power outlet within reach of the cord, and a dry shelf or cupboard to store it folded.
During a session
- The blanket itself: 183 × 79 cm (72 × 31 in) when extended.
- Clearance: enough room to get in and out comfortably, and to keep the area clear of clutter, liquids and heat sources.
- A surface the manual approves. Always check which surfaces the user manual allows before choosing your spot.
- Power: a suitable outlet within reach of the power cord, without stretching or trailing it across a walkway. Follow the manual's guidance on extension leads.
Good spots to consider
- A quiet corner of the living room or bedroom.
- A spare room or home office after hours.
- Anywhere you can dim the lights and won't be disturbed.
Storing it in a small home
- Let it cool fully, clean it as the manual describes, and dry it before folding.
- Fold it as shown in the manual and keep the controller and cord together.
- A wardrobe shelf, under-bed box or cupboard works well, as long as it's dry and away from heat.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use a sauna blanket in an apartment?
Yes. It doesn't need installation, so it suits apartments and rented homes. Choose a surface the manual approves and a suitable outlet.
Do I need a dedicated room?
No. That's one of the main reasons people choose a sauna blanket over a sauna room.
