The temperature can be set to 80 degrees. However, it is important to point out that this is the temperature of the carbon fibers themselves, which generate the infrared light. There will be a slightly lower temperature in the blanket itself, as it is not hermetically sealed, and the carbon fibers are insulated by the 7 layers that the blanket consists of. There is nothing right or wrong when it comes to temperature, and no studies have been done on which temperature works best against various health complications. We recommend starting with 50-60 degrees and gradually increasing the temperature up to 70-80 degrees, as long as you find it comfortable. Everyone is different and the most important thing is that you relax and feel good during the treatment.
