Infrared Sauna Cocoon

Infrared saunas began taking huge acclaim for their benefits on body and mind in 2020, enjoying 5 star ratings from global lifestyle magazines, celebrities and sports stars. Man on the Couch's large individual sleeping blanket cocoon - with infrared light heating inside - provides you with a quiet, personalised treatment without any other people, doors, or other distractions that can occur in a public sauna. Relax and love your body on the comfort of a king size bed or treatment couch with surround tranquil music, TV, heated floor, aromatic air, our individual guest policy and private shower room and suite! There are 6 main benefits to the far infrared sauna cocoon experience:

Intense Detoxification - Infrared heat penetrates the skin 7x more efficiently than regular heat. This means your body is able to flush out toxins that it wouldn’t usually when exposed to a regular sauna. While the blanket gets to work on flushing out toxins, it also opens up your pores, allowing for clean and glowing skin. Infrared heat is 7x more detoxifying than regular heat. That means instead of just sweating out water, you’re also sweating out toxins that normal saunas don’t have the power to do.

Burning of Calories and Fat, inducing Weight Loss - A 30-minute jog burns around 300 calories. A 30 minute session in your infrared blanket will burn up to 600 calories. Most people struggle to understand how you can burn so many calories without moving. It comes down to an increased heart rate. As the blanket heats up your body, your heart rate and blood flow also increase. The consistent increase in heart rate equates to the same physical calorific benefits as going for a 30-minute run. Oh, and you can burn these calories without leaving your relaxing infrared bed.

Stimulation of Blood Flow & Lymphatic Drainage - Infrared light heat stimulates blood circulation which distributes hormones and oxygen to body cells and tissues, and improves your lymphatic system performance. The stimulation of lymph fluid removes metabolic toxins and improves immune response.

Reduction in Muscle Fatigue, Pain & Inflammation - Endorphins are activated by infrared heat, and these pain-relieving chemicals work to heal the body naturally. Inflammation is reduced due to the increased circulation, blood flow, and deep penetration of the infrared heat into your tissues. Heat application can reduce inflammation to the back, legs, hips and knees by improving the flow of lymphatic fluid flow, which can account for lymphoedema (body swelling). As muscle fibres expand and relax in heat, the nerves and blood supply through the body become less restricted, resulting in pain and fatigue reduction.

Skin Rejuvenation - Infrared light is clinically proven as an anti-ageing express treatment that targets skin tone, texture, wrinkles, and radiance with improved collagen production. This means the sauna can speed up healing, improve the appearance of scars and benefits the strength and thickness of the cellular structure of skin.

Calming of Mind and Body - Infrared sauna blankets flush your body with ‘feel good chemicals’ - dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins. You’ll probably have heard of these chemicals before, they’re the cause of a good mood! They also improve sleep quality and duration, reducing headaches and stress. Serotonin is the chemical in your body that maintains mood balance, and when your serotonin levels are normal, you feel happier, calmer, more focused, less anxious, so no wonder you exit your infrared session feeling like you're floating on a cloud.

The combination of being able to flush toxins more efficiently, elevate heart rate, pump blood around the body, reduce pain, fatigue and soreness, rejuvenate skin, and hot/cold therapy (from a cold shower afterwards) just makes you feel so good! If you want to supercharge this, we recommend meditating while in the blanket - Steve will provide a set of sound guided meditations for you through the speakers if you wish, spa music, radio, or a personalised meditation for you. Steve also offers a facial infrared light therapy mask that can be worn over the face at the same time as you use the full body cocoon, so every part of your body is rejuvenated.

Please bring a comfortable, long sleeved top and full length gym/yoga trousers and socks to change into for your saunawear, and take them home when finished, like a swimming costume at the pool. Please remove any metals, jewellery, or magnetic apparel. Drinking water, towels for the head and after shower towels are provided here. Temperature can be manually altered between 35-75 degrees Celsius. The blanket cocoon will be ready for you at 50 degrees and once you are inside, you can build up gradually and cautiously, for the full sauna experience. 30 minutes to 1 hour is recommended inside the blanket, which gives you 15 minutes for preparation and after sauna cooling shower with 45, 60 or 75 minute treatment times. Once you've finished, Steve will open up the blanket to let it cool down, then wipe with a towel and antibacterial spray clean inside - there's no cleaning up for you!

So, hop in and enjoy the benefits of this heat and infrared light healer!
