HigherDose Reviews: Insights on Sauna Blankets & PEMF Mats

ByMarco Gentile Updated on

Searching for HigherDOSE reviews usually means you’ve spotted the brand’s glossy sauna blankets or red light masks somewhere on your feed and want to know if the experience lives up to the look. All of my hands on writeups sit just below, but the brand itself is a fun one to understand first, because few wellness companies have this much personality.

At its heart, HigherDOSE makes infrared based self care devices for the home. Infrared therapy uses gentle wavelengths of light to warm the body from within, which is the science behind that deep sauna sweat that leaves you relaxed, glowing, and loose in the muscles. The brand bottles that spa feeling into things you can actually use on your couch: its best selling infrared sauna blanket, full spectrum saunas, red light face masks, and PEMF mats. The whole identity is built around making high end wellness feel like an everyday ritual rather than a clinical chore.

The origin story explains the vibe. HigherDOSE was founded in 2016 in New York City by Lauren Berlingeri and Katie Kaps, after Berlingeri tried an early infrared sauna and was struck by how calm and rested she felt. The two built it first as a brick and mortar sauna destination, then translated that experience into at home products. It’s a proudly female founded, design forward brand, shipping worldwide, that leans into pleasure and self care just as much as the science, which is a big part of why it’s picked up such a loyal celebrity and editor following.

So is the experience worth the premium price? That’s the HigherDOSE customer feedback worth weighing before you buy, and with well over 100,000 units sold, there’s plenty to go on. Fans rave about glowing skin, better sleep, easier muscle recovery, and how genuinely good a session feels at the end of a long day. Honest reviews also note these are an investment and that infrared heat is a gentler, cozier warmth than a traditional sauna, useful to know going in. My own take on each product is waiting just below, drawn from real time spent putting them to use.
