Technology and safety

What kind of technology does The Comfort Gift use?

The Comfort Gift works with infrared heat. 

This means that the body is heated from the inside by this type of heat radiation. You cannot see this radiation, but it can be felt because it generates heat. The infrared rays penetrate deeper into the skin and it feels like you are lying in the sun on a warm summer day. This radiation is completely safe. The Comfort Gift is even safer than a normal electric blanket, because the pillows of The Comfort Gift are built-in with a timer and thermostat and will therefore never get too hot. With The Comfort Gift cushions you bring the sun into your home, even on a rainy day.

Additional positive effects

The fact that you feel nice and warm is just one effect of the infrared radiation. It has been proven that infrared light stimulates blood circulation, counteracts joint stiffness, reduces pain, reduces inflammation and even improves the skin.

Is The Comfort Gift safe to use?

Yes, all our products are safe to use.

It is important that you can use all our products safely, which is why all our products are equipped with overheating protection. When the temperature of The Comfort Gift becomes too high, the thermostat switches off the pillow, this prevents excessive temperatures.

The Comfort Gift automatically turns off the product after 8 hours of use.

All our products have been tested and are safe to use, but we do not recommend the use of our products for women during pregnancy and for people with a pacemaker.

It is important that you are aware of your own sense of warmth. If you are insensitive to heat, this product should not be used. The product is also not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, unless they have been instructed in its use by a person responsible for their safety. 

Children under the age of eight may only use this product under supervision and only at the minimum temperature. Please note that (young) children cannot react to overheating. Therefore their guardian is responsible for safe use.

How do I clean my The Comfort Gift?

Does this not solve the problem? Please contact us.

Charging my The Comfort Gift takes a very long time, why is this?

Charging The Comfort Gift takes approximately 5-6 hours. There are several factors that can influence the loading time.

1. The ambient temperature is high during charging (for example, The Comfort Gift is located near the heater).
2. Another reason for longer charging may be that you are using a different charger than the one you received from The Comfort Gift. Our USB chargers have a capacity of 3A - while other chargers only have a capacity of 1A.
3. You are using the pillow while charging. This ensures that it takes longer for the product to fully load.

The power bank of The Comfort Gift is empty quickly, why is this?

Below you will see a table in which we have indicated how long The Comfort Gift should work at which setting. If your The Comfort Gift expires faster than indicated, we ask you to contact us.

Level 1 LED Green 28/32 °C 21 hours*
Level 2 LED Yellow 35/39 °C 15 hours*
Level 3 LED Red 38/42 °C 11 hours*

*The actual heating time, charging time and temperature may differ depending on which The Comfort Gift product you have, the temperature of the environment, the heat level and the power bank you use.

My The Comfort Gift does not heat up, what can I do about this?

Do you have the feeling that The Comfort Gift does not get warm enough? Try the below:

Check which setting you have the pillow on and whether the temperature corresponds to the normal temperatures for your The Comfort Gift, these are our heat levels:

Level 1 LED Green 28/32 °C 21 hours*
Level 2 LED Yellow 35/39 °C 15 hours*
Level 3 LED Red 38/42 °C 11 hours*

*The actual heating time, charging time and temperature may differ depending on which The Comfort Gift product you have, the temperature of the environment, the heat level and the power bank you use.

The heat output may be difficult to determine, but what you can do is let The Comfort Gift warm up for 5 minutes and then place your hand directly on the side with the heating element for 30 seconds. Then you will feel better what heat it gives off.

Is there anything else I can check to see why it isn't getting warm?

Yes, we ask you to check the following things.

- Is the power bank connected correctly?

You can check this by removing the outer cover and checking whether the USB-A cable is correctly connected to the power bank.

- Is the power bank full?

You can check this by removing the power bank from the cushion and looking at the level of the lights. When all 4 are lit, the power bank is full.

See image

- Is the charger working and connected correctly?

You can check this by connecting the charger to your The Comfort Gift. If a light starts flashing, your charger is working.

If it still doesn't work, you can reset the pillow.

a. You do this by pressing the on/off button for 10 seconds until the light goes out. 
b. Then fully charge The Comfort Gift, make sure that charging is not interrupted until it is fully charged. (This can take up to 5-6 hours.)
c. Once fully charged, The Comfort Gift will be reset.

The LED on my The Comfort Gift on the product label does not work, why is this?

If the LED on your The Comfort Gift does not work, this could be due to various things. Below are some tips to get it working again:

1. Disconnect and reconnect the power bank. Press the USB-A plug firmly.
2. Charge your power bank.

If this does not solve the problem, please contact our customer service. We would like to hear from you the details of the problem and what you have done to solve it.
