General questions
What technology does Stoov use?
Stoov works slightly different from other heat pillows or blankets. That makes our products extra special and you will notice that you will benefit from this more than just a nice heated pillow, so double the benefit!
What makes Stoov different?
Unlike other heating elements in a pillow or blanket, Stoov works with infrared heat. This is a form of heat radiation that heats the body from the inside. The radiation is not visible to the human eye, but it is palpable because it generates heat. The infrared rays penetrate deeper into the skin, up to 4 cm. This warms the body from the inside out and makes it feel like you are lying in the sun on a hot summer day. It may sound strange, but it is completely safe. It is even safer than a normal heating cushion, because the Stoov cushions are built-in with a timer and thermostat and will turn off automatically when the product gets too hot! Simply put: Stoov pillows and blankets have the same heating effect as when you are out in the sun, even when it is raining and storming outside!
More than just heat
Infrared has more good effects than just a nice warm feeling. In addition to heating, infrared light has been proven to improve blood circulation, reduce pain, reduce joint stiffness, reduce inflammation, and revitalize the skin.
Is Stoov safe to use?
Yes, our products are safe to use (also for pets).
We take your safety seriously. That is why every product is equipped with an overheating protection thermostat. The thermostat will temporarily turn off the heat generation when the actual temperature in the heating element becomes too high. This will prevent your Stoov® from running at too high temperatures.
Every Stoov® also has an Auto-off function, which turns the product off automatically after 8 hours of use.
Although our products are tested and safe to use, we do not recommend people with a pacemaker to use our products or women during their pregnancy. The appliance must also not be used by persons insensitive to heat and vulnerable persons who are unable to react to overheating. When in doubt, please contact a medical specialist to be sure.
What are the differences between our covers/fabrics?
Here at Stoov®, we understand that style is personal. That is why we offer the opportunity to pick a cover for your Stoov® that suits you.Our signature line comes in many different colours, and will suit any household.
If you are searching for a more refined look, our Knitted line offers a fine alternative.
Our Woolly is made of a soft woollen fabric and gives an extra cozy and warm feeling to your home.

Why does my Stoov not get warm?
If you believe your Stoov® is not warming properly, please try one of the following tips:
- First, try to understand if your Stoov® is getting less hot than it should be. To understand what are normal temperatures for your Stoov®, these are our temperature levels:
- Low: approx 34°C
- Mid: approx 38°C
- High: approx 42°C
This may not tell you a lot, but what you can do is remove the outer cover and press your hand hard on the heating element. First let your Stoov warm up for 5 minutes and then press your hand on it for 30 seconds.
If you do not feel the warmth, please check the following steps.
- Is your charger working and connected?
You can check this by connecting the charger, if a light turns on blinking or constantly, the charger works.
- Check if your battery is properly connected.
You can do this by removing the outer cover and checking if your battery is properly connected to the cable of the heating element. Make sure you twist the connectors till it locks.
- Check if your battery is fully charged.
You can do this by holding the power button while your Stoov is on, for around 20 seconds. If one light shines, it means your battery is between 0-30%, if two lights shine it means 30-70% and three lights means 70-100%.

How do I return my Stoov?
Who pays for my return?
When you return a product, the costs are for your own account. The reason we chose to do this, is that we care about the environment. We do not encourage people to buy and return our products, without being sure of it. This will only cause people to return more, which means more products have to be moved from place to place. This increases emission of CO2, which is bad for the environment.
When will I receive the refund of my return?
We will refund the purchase amount within 14 days after receiving your product in good order.
If the product is damaged or visibly used more than is necessary to try the product, then we can pass on the value reduction of the product to you. Treat the Stoov® with care and ensure that it is properly packaged for a return.
How long do I have a warranty on my Stoov?
Your Stoov® comes with a 2 year warranty period that runs from the moment of purchase. This includes all the technology running your Stoov, from the inner pillow to the charger. However, this does not include wear parts such as the battery and the fabric on your Stoov®. These parts only come with 1 year of warranty.
