The Warmsome heating technology

Our heated products not only look incredibly stylish but they’re also  extremely smart: with innovative infrared technology they provide the warmth needed. That feeling when you lean into your Snoogie, sit with a Huuggie, or cuddle up with Cozy Mozy. But what is it about the warmth Warmsome offers that makes it so special? With this simple fact checker, we’ll take a closer look at the tech behind our innovative infrared collection.

What is infrared heat?

Here’s the science bit; Infrared radiation (IR radiation) is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. IR radiation is divided into short-wave IR-A radiation, with a wavelength range of 780 to 1400 nanometers. And then there’s the medium-wave IR-B radiation (with 1400 to 3000 nanometers). Finally, there’s long-wave IR-C radiation (3000 nanometers to 1 millimeter). Infrared heat, or IR-C (Infrared C or FIR) is a form of thermal radiation located within the infrared spectrum—It’s invisible to the human eye because it lies outside the range of visible light. IR-C heat has the ability to penetrate deep into the body and release targeted heat within. What’s not to like about that?

  • How does infrared radiation (IR-C) generate heat?

    IR-C heat with electromagnetic waves work with a specific frequency that generate heat when they come into contact with an object. In our case IR-C heaet's absorbed by the skin which causes our body to warm up. The special thing about this is that it doesn't heat the air around the person or pet, just the pet or the person upon it!

  • How deeply does IR-C penetrate my body?

    IR-C heat penetrates approximetely 1 to 3 milimeters deep into the skin and the tissues of the body. For deeper heat applications, other forms of infrared radiation such as IR-A or IR-B are often used; these can penetrate deeper into the body and can be used, for example, in physiotherpay. It's important to note your Warmsome is not a medical product.

  • Why is IR-C/FIR suitable for heat pads?

    • Targeted heat: Heating pads with IR-C heat can be place on specific parts of the body.
    • Fast heating: IR-C heat can generate heat quickly, allowing you to warm up.
    • Efficiency: Beacause IR-C heat is delivered directly to the body and does not heat the surrounding air, it is an energy-efficient way of delivering heat.
