The Hooga Red Light Therapy Blanket wraps your entire body in red and near-infrared light from a single, easy-to-use device. With 2,680 triple-chip LEDs across the front and back panels, it delivers head-to-toe coverage in a flexible, comfortable shell — no panel array, no awkward positioning, no missed spots.

Unzip it flat and it's an 88" wide red light therapy mat. Zip it up and it becomes a full-body red light therapy bag that surrounds you on every side. One device, two ways to use it, designed for daily at-home wellness sessions.

Red Light Therapy Blanket vs. Red Light Therapy Bag: One Product, Two Use Cases

Customers shop for this category under several names — red light therapy blanket, red light therapy bag, infrared blanket, red light sleeping bag — and they're all describing the same idea: a wearable, full-body alternative to a wall-mounted panel. The Hooga blanket is built to work both ways:

As a blanket (unzipped flat): Lay it on a bed, couch, or yoga mat and rest face-up or face-down. Best for targeted front- or back-of-body sessions, stretching, or post-workout recovery.
As a bag (zipped closed): Climb inside for a 360° wraparound session. The front and back panels surround your torso, hips, and legs simultaneously, so you get full coverage without flipping.

Most users alternate between the two modes depending on the goal — bag mode for full-body wellness sessions, blanket mode for focused recovery on a specific area.

Why a Full-Body Blanket vs. a Panel

Wall-mounted panels are excellent for targeted work, but they ask you to stand still, rotate, and re-position to cover your whole body. A red light therapy blanket eliminates that overhead:

Full coverage in one session. Front, back, sides — all at the same time when used in bag mode.
No mounting hardware. Roll it up and store it when you're done.
Travel-friendly. Folds down to fit alongside other gear, unlike a 4-foot panel.
Daily-use comfortable. Soft neoprene against the skin, not a hard panel surface.

If your routine involves consistent, full-body sessions — recovery after training, evening wind-down, daily wellness — a blanket reduces friction. If you mostly want targeted face or joint exposure, a panel may still be the better fit.

How to Use Your Red Light Therapy Blanket

Pick your mode. Lay the blanket flat for targeted sessions, or zip it into bag mode for wraparound coverage.
Set your time. Most users start with 10–20 minute sessions and adjust based on goals and comfort. The included controller has a built-in timer.
Dial in intensity. Use the brightness control and optional pulse mode to tailor the session. Beginners often start at lower brightness and ramp up.
Stay consistent. Red light therapy is a daily-habit tool, not a one-shot fix. Most users run sessions 4–7 days per week.
Clean between sessions. Wipe the inner neoprene surface with a soft, lightly damp cloth as needed.

Who It's Built For

Anyone wanting full-body red and near-infrared exposure in a single device

Athletes and lifters incorporating red light into recovery routines
Frequent travelers who need a portable option
Wellness-focused households wanting one device the whole family can rotate through

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a red light therapy blanket or a red light therapy bag?
Both. It's a single device that unzips flat into a blanket/mat or zips closed into a wraparound bag. You pick the mode based on the session.

How many LEDs does the Hooga blanket have?
2,680 LEDs total — 1,400 on the back panel and 1,280 on the front. Each LED is a triple-chip bead (two near-infrared + one red), so the effective chip count is meaningfully higher than the LED count alone.

What wavelengths does it use?
Red and near-infrared, the standard combination used across Hooga's full-body devices.

How big is it?
71" × 32" in bag mode. 88" wide when unzipped flat as a blanket. Designed to fit users of all sizes.

What's the EMF level?
0.14 V/m — low EMF output, measured at the surface during operation.

Is the Hooga Red Light Therapy Blanket HSA/FSA eligible?
Yes, through participating providers. Check with your plan administrator before purchase.

How long are sessions?
The controller includes a built-in timer. Most users run 10–20 minute sessions, daily or several times per week. Adjust based on your goals and how your body responds.

Can I wash the blanket?
No — it contains LEDs and electronics. Wipe the interior neoprene surface with a soft, lightly damp cloth as needed. Do not submerge or machine-wash.

Is this the same as your "pod"?
Yes. The Hooga Red Light Therapy Blanket was previously known as the Hooga Red Light Therapy Pod. Same device, clearer name.
