Exact variant	portable far-infrared blanket with a Velcro closure	portable far-infrared blanket with towel insert
Dimensions	72 x 36 in, with an interior circumference of about 65 in. It weighs 19 lb. HEALiX says its recommended maximum height is 6 ft 2 in. It gives no weight limit or folded size.	HigherDOSE doesn't give the blanket's open or folded size on the product page. Its store listing gives a weight of 22 lb (9,979 g) and doesn't say whether that includes packaging.
Installation	None. You unfold it, plug it into a 120 V outlet and switch it on. The product page suggests laying it on a bed, couch or yoga mat. HEALiX's warranty, though, excludes damage from use on soft, uneven or insulated surfaces and from extension devices. No manual is posted, so the surfaces HEALiX approves aren't stated.	Nothing to assemble or wire in. It runs on 100 to 120 V (the US and Canada model) and comes with a handheld controller. Lay it flat on a heat-safe surface. The product page doesn't state the plug type.
Materials	HEALiX says the shell is solvent-free PU leather and calls the materials non-toxic and VOC-free. Its comparison table lists RoHS, REACH and FCC certification, and "Enhanced 10k Strand Fiber Bundles" that it calls fireproof. It names no lab, certificate or test report.	HigherDOSE says the blanket is non-toxic, waterproof polyurethane that "exceeds VOC safety standards," but it doesn't name the standard. The layers include far-infrared heating elements with charcoal, clay, "medical-grade magnets" and crystals. HigherDOSE sells its spare insert as 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton that's machine-washable. It doesn't say whether the free insert is the same one.
Warranty	Two years from purchase on defects in materials and workmanship, for the original buyer only, if you bought from HEALiX or an authorized seller. Commercial use, such as in a spa, gym or rental, gets 12 months. Coverage depends on following HEALiX's manuals, temperature limits, session lengths, surface requirements and power specifications. It excludes use on soft, uneven or insulated surfaces, exposure to moisture or liquids, extension devices, normal wear and cosmetic damage. You claim by email with proof of purchase and photos or video, and you have 21 days to answer HEALiX's diagnostic questions. HEALiX chooses whether to repair it, replace it with a new or refurbished unit, or send an equivalent model. A replacement keeps the original warranty's end date. The policy says you may have to pay shipping where the law allows.	One-year limited warranty from the date of original retail purchase. It covers defects in materials and workmanship when you use the blanket as HigherDOSE directs. Exclusions include accident, misuse, fire, liquid contact, cosmetic damage, normal wear, pet damage and outside repairs. Commercial use, such as in a gym or spa, voids it. You claim by email and send the blanket in for repair. HigherDOSE pays shipping both ways if you follow its packing instructions. It doesn't say whether the warranty transfers to a later owner.
Returns	45 days from delivery, in like-new condition, with return shipping on you. HEALiX pays it only if the blanket arrives damaged, defective or incorrect. It can supply a prepaid label at its carrier rates and take the cost out of the refund. The product page also sells optional Return Protection that covers return shipping, with no price shown. You start in HEALiX's returns portal, and the return must be approved before you send it. A blanket that comes back worn, stained, smelly, with hair on it or missing parts can get a reduced refund, extra charges or no full refund. Outlet blankets get 30 days. Refunds take 2 to 5 business days after inspection.	HigherDOSE gives you 120 days from delivery to return it for a refund, even after use. It has to come back in like-new condition, or the return may be denied. You start in HigherDOSE's returns portal, which supplies a prepaid label.
