Revolutionising warmth technology
Heating systems as you know it? Forget 'em. We have revolutionised personal warmth as you know it. Our in house product design team ensures we remain the category lead in cordless warmth with our infrared and body shape technology, safety features and super soft recycled fabrics.
What is infrared technology?
We’ll spare you all the science terms and try to summarise it as best we can without getting too technical. Infrared warmth or IR-C is a gentle, invisible warmth that works by warming your body directly — kind of like sunlight. Instead of warming the air around you, it warms you from the inside out when it comes into close contact with your body. It's a cosy, targeted warmth that helps you feel toasty, calm and relaxed.
Why is our infrared technology perfect for heated products?
Focused warmth
Our Stoov infrared technology warms up specific parts of your body.
Warms quickly
Infrared technology warms you fast, so you feel cosy sooner.
Energy smart
It warms your body directly without heating the air, saving energy.
The health benefits of infrared warmth technology
Infrared penetrates deep into the muscles and helps to relax the body. Try using your Stoov during your period! The endometriosis community loves Stoov's infrared warmth to help rest, relax and support women's health.
Infrared warmth can help to recover your muscles after an intense work out or as part of your wellbeing routine. Incorporate our infrared technology into your stretching routine and your body will thank you!
Using infrared warmth can reduce stress. Warmth promotes the release of endorphins, which create a feeling of well-being and relaxation
The relaxing effects of infrared warmth can contribute to better sleep quality and help reduce insomnia.
Important safety tips when using your Stoov
Tip 1
Use the product only for what it is intended for and in the manner described in the operating instructions.
Tip 2
Make sure your heated product is not covered or folded while in use to ensure the product does not overheat.
Tip 3
A Stoov should not be used by people who are heat sensitive or cannot respond to overheating (such as small children).
Tip 4
For prolonged use, we recommend setting your Stoov the lowest heat level to prevent the body from overheating.
Stoov's safety anchors
Simple, smart and secure. You can rely on Stoov's safety anchor system to keep you snuggly and safe, so you can truly relax.
Overheat protection
Our heated products have overheating protection. Each product has sensors that ensure reduces the warmth in the event of unexpected warmth development. In addition, a thermal protection switch ensures that the product is completely switched off if the temperature in the cushion gets too high.
Timer
Our heated products switch off automatically after about 8 hours. (The exact steps and length of time in which this occurs varies depending on the product). Check your product user manual to find out how this ‘auto-off’ feature works.
Thermostat
Most of our products also have a built-in electric thermostat. The thermostat continuously provides the electronic circuit with feedback on heat development. If the temperature gets too high, the selected temperature level is therefore automatically reduced.
Low voltage system
Our products are equipped with a low voltage system (12v) that uses sensors to continuously monitor the battery's current, voltage, and temperature. As soon as the smart label detects any deviation, the product is automatically switched off. This way we minimise the risk of a cable break or a short circuit.
Long life battery system
With Li-ion batteries Stoov aims to meet the highest battery standard. We select cells which use a maximum of 50% of the power capacity. This means that heat development in the battery remains limited (it’s important to note that you should only charge the battery with the original Stoov charger directly or via the product). Good to know: The charger has also been tested in accordance with the standards required.
FAQs
Is it safe for anyone to use infrared heating technology?
To date there are no known negative health effects associated with the magnetic fields of electric heat products (source: Federal Office for Radiation Protection)
However, if you have a serious health problem such as heart disease, diabetes, or other chronic illnesses, it is recommended that you consult a medical professional before using IR-C heat. Additionally, heat products that use IR-C heat should be used consciously to avoid injuries.
Who tests and certifies Stoov's products?
We work with SGS for certifications and product safety. SGS acts as an independent company and world leader in inspection, control, analysis, and certification. SGS tests our products for safety and quality in compliance with the applicable standards.
How deeply does infrared warm my body?
Infrared electromagnetic waves work with a specific frequency that generates warmth when it comes into contact with an object. In Stoov's case, infrared warmth is absorbed by the skin which causes our body to warm up.
