Ignik is enhancing its Battery Powered Heat collection with the introduction of the Topside Heated Blanket and Flipside Heated Bed Cover. These new offerings aim to provide portable, customizable warmth for outdoor enthusiasts while maintaining the highest safety standards for DC-powered heat.
Peter Pontano, Marketing and Product Development Director at Ignik expressed their commitment to innovation, stating, “After years of research and development, we’ve evolved our original Battery Powered Heat sleep line to create the next generation of products for a more sustainable and comfortable night’s sleep outdoors.” Ignik collaborated with leading engineers and manufacturers in the heated blanket industry to bring these outdoor solutions to life, incorporating advanced heating technology and control architecture.
Smart Controller for Customized Comfort
Both the Topside and Flipside come equipped with a brand-new Smart Controller tailored for sleeping. This controller allows users to fine-tune their heating preferences while ensuring safety. Notably, it remembers the last used setting and offers an adjustable timed shut-off feature, ranging from one to 10 hours. This feature conserves battery life and lets users control the duration and intensity of heat. Multiple internal thermostats and sensors within the products and the controller prevent overheating by initiating designated auto shut-off mechanisms.

Topside Heated Blanket: Sustainability and Comfort
The Topside Heated Blanket is constructed using 100% recycled materials. Its outer layer features water-resistant rPET 30D micro-ripstop fabric, while the inner layer boasts plush, non-slip micro-suede fabric for added comfort. The micro-suede fabric extends to the blanket’s edges, enhancing its durability. Topside accommodates a single person and features an advanced full-body heating element generating 48W of heat, offering concentrated warmth at the upper core and feet—where it’s needed most. It can be powered by a 12V battery power station (not included) or an included 12V vehicle adapter. For portability, Topside compresses easily into the included stuff sack. The blanket measures 52 x 72 inches and is available in three color options: Blue, Arctic Camo, and MTN Collection.

Flipside Heated Bed Cover: Luxurious Comfort
The Flipside Heated Bed Cover serves as a luxurious sleep accessory and an additional layer for outdoor sleep systems. Designed to heat from the bottom up, it can be placed on top of camp mattresses, sleeping pads, or inside rooftop tents and RVs. Similar to the Topside, Flipside is crafted from 100% recycled non-slip micro-suede fabric on both sides for comfort and stability. Snap closures along the sides enable the connection of multiple Flipside units for shared warmth or increased surface heat. Flipside’s reversible design allows access to the controller from either side, depending on the sleeping arrangement. Like the Topside, Flipside boasts a full-body heating element producing 48W of heat, delivering powerful surface warmth with concentrated elements at the upper core and feet. It can be powered by 12V battery power stations (not included) or the provided 12V vehicle adapter.

Pontano emphasized the added warmth these products bring to outdoor sleep setups, stating, “An average adult generates around 75W of body heat, and Topside and Flipside essentially add 50% more heat to your sleep setup. Not only that, but our heat element covers the entire length of the product, not just a couple of warm areas. More importantly, Topside and Flipside are designed with industry-leading safety features specifically for the outdoors, so that outdoor enthusiasts can bring the comforts of home to any vehicle-borne adventure.”
The Topside Heated Blanket is priced at $199.99, while the Flipside Heated Bed Cover is available for $149.99. Both products are currently accessible through ignik.com, REI, Amazon, and Scheels.
