FAQs – DefenderShield® Blanket

To maintain the effectiveness of the shielding material, we recommend gentle hand washing for your blanket. Here’s how:

1. Hand Wash: Use cold, soapy water and be gentle while cleaning. You may use mild detergent or specialized metallic fabric cleaner. 
2. Air Dry: Hang the blanket to dry and DO NOT place the blanket in a dryer. 

Alternative Cleaning Option:

For easier care, consider using a duvet cover over your DefenderShield® blanket. This washable outer layer will protect the blanket itself, reducing the frequency of hand washing needed. Plus, the duvet cover won’t interfere with the shielding effectiveness of the DefenderShield® blanket underneath.

Absolutely! The DefenderShield® blanket is a perfect travel companion for several reasons:

• Blocks EMF Radiation: It shields you from Radio Frequency (RF) radiation emitted by the WiFi and nearby devices in the airplane environment, offering peace of mind and reduced EMF exposure.
• Comfort and Warmth: Made with a bamboo and cotton outer shell, the blanket provides cozy comfort and warmth during your flight.
• Portable: Our small blanket measures 35” x 36” for easy, packable transportation.

Our blankets are sized to cover the top of the mattress with no overhang to reduce both the weight and cost.  Sizing specifications are as follows: 

• Small Blanket (36″ x 35″):
  Weight: 1.38 lbs
  Dimensions: 36 x 35 x .3 in
• Medium Blanket (75″ x 53″):
  Weight: 4.5 lbs
  Dimensions: 75 x 53 x .3 in
• Large Blanket (80″ x 60″):
  Weight: 5.1 lbs
  Dimensions: 80 x 60 x .3 in
• X-Large Blanket (84″ x 75″):
  Weight: 7.3 lbs
  Dimensions: 84 x 75 x .3 in

Our blankets act as a shield to protect you from Radio Frequency (RF) radiation emitted by electronic devices, like laptops, tablets, and even airplane Wi-Fi. They work differently than a metal conductor, which would block all signals entirely.

Here’s how:

• Shielding, Non-Absorbing: The shielding encapsulated in our blankets prevents EMF radiation from passing through. It does this by acting as a floating ground, by providing a resistive path that forces the energy to take a longer, more indirect path. 
• Think Umbrella, Not Wall: Imagine an umbrella that significantly lessens the amount of rain reaching you, but doesn’t stop it completely. Similarly, the blanket reduces exposure, but doesn’t eliminate EMF radiation.
• Dissipation, Not Storage: Some of the weakened EMF radiation is converted into a very small amount of thermal energy which dissipates within the shielding material itself.

Targeted Protection, Reduced Cost: We’ve opted for a unique size that covers the top of your mattress rather than a traditional bed size. This targets the areas of your body most vulnerable to EMF radiation during sleep and allows us to offer a lighter, more affordable product. While it may not fully drape over the sides of your bed, it prioritizes protection and value.
