The base material for the blanket is made from 100% fireproof high-tech fiber PyroTex. The following sizes are produced: 100 x 100 cm, 160 x 160 cm, 100 x 200 cm, and 160 x 200 cm.

Our fire protection and fire extinguishing blankets are produced 100% in Germany. They undergo several quality checks before they are allowed for final sale.

Raw Material Procurement
The raw material procurement is carried out by the company owner himself.

Needling of the Fiber
The needling of our fiber takes place in Germany in one of the most advanced nonwoven production facilities in Europe. The process is specially adapted to our raw material. The fiber is filled into a mixing chamber and fed to a carding machine, where it is opened between the rollers of the carding system and processed into a fluffy fleece.

This fleece is then passed on to the needle boards, where several layers of fleece are combined to achieve the desired quality. With the kind support of the company Groz-Beckert. For the production process video "From fiber to nonwoven": Information video

Each blanket is suitable for both summer and winter use. Ideally, it is always within reach on the sofa, on the bed, in the car, or on the sailing yacht and can be used like a regular cozy blanket. Only in an emergency does it serve as a fire protection or fire extinguishing blanket. It warms wonderfully and is both antibacterial and gentle on the skin. You can find all emergency uses here.

How warm a blanket keeps you depends largely on its material and its thickness/weight. Each material has its own insulation factor, which determines its so-called heat retention capacity. In technical terms, this is also called the k-value. This value is 0.03 W/mK for PyroTex. The smaller the value, the better the insulation. Even wool cannot compete here. That is why our ASK THE FOX blankets are especially warm, although they are comparatively light. We recommend our regular COSY FOX blanket for the sofa or for outdoor use. You can also use the blanket well as an additional heat source on top of the quilt on your bed, for example if you sleep with the window open in winter. This achieves additional heat insulation. The same applies if you use the blanket as a cover on your mattress.

Standard blankets in Germany are 150/200 cm. For our fire protection and fire extinguishing blankets with a cozy factor, the standard size is 160/200 cm.

As merchants, we would have to answer: too long! The lifespan is roughly comparable to that of a car. So about 7 to 30 years and longer. The prerequisite is proper use. ASK THE FOX blankets should primarily be used as bed covers and only in emergencies as protective or fire blankets.

Every person has their own sensitivity to this. We use only fibers with a fineness of 16 microns in our blankets. For comparison: a fine merino wool sweater uses fibers of about 18 microns, which is noticeably coarser and feels more "scratchy." The vast majority of our customers therefore say that ASK THE FOX blankets do not itch. Mind you, we use no softeners. Our blankets are thus natural and not artificially softened. This also helps to avoid possible allergic reactions.

Yes, but it does not have to be. Our blankets are antiseptic and only need to be aired out conveniently. (See infographic and test) Tip: Trust the self-cleaning power of the ASK THE FOX blankets and simply hang them out overnight in a sheltered area from time to time. Body sweat is neutralized by the fiber, bacteria are killed. The properties of the special fiber PyroTex reduce soiling. Do you wash your cashmere coat or your leather shoes? If you absolutely want to clean the blanket, we recommend a dry cleaning.

If you still want to wash:
--- You can hand wash ASK THE FOX cuddle blankets. The fiber itself is not harmed by water; it dries again in fresh air.

--- You can also wash ASK THE FOX cuddle blankets in the wool wash program at a reduced spin speed. Please use only a suitable mild detergent. Wash the blanket alone without other items to avoid unnecessary friction. The spin speed should be at most 600 rpm. Stop the spinning process after no more than 3 minutes. Do not wring. Please do not put the blanket in the dryer.

A detailed description can also be found on this website under the care instructions category.

--- If you wash an ASK THE FOX blanket, please do not expect the blanket to look exactly like a new one afterwards. You would not expect yourself not to change if you walk in the rain after a haircut and then drive a convertible on the country road. A look in the mirror should be enough... A slight felting degree cannot be avoided when washing, which in turn affects the length and width of the blanket. Expect about 2 to 4 cm reduction in width and length with gentle washing.

My personal tip for dealing with stains on your ASK THE FOX cuddle blanket: Red wine, coffee, currant juice, or orange juice can be simply rinsed off with water. As soon as possible, hold a gentle stream of water over the stain above the sink or bathtub, and tilt the soiled surface downward so the water can drip off with the dirt. The stain does not need to be soaked because it is on the surface. Let it dry in the air, done.

Warmth, comfort, grace, exclusiveness, high sleeping comfort without sweating, low soiling, as well as the good regeneration properties thanks to the antibacterial qualities are altogether unique.

The fact is that to this day it has not been possible to even remotely copy the specific physiological and chemical properties of our fibre. It is also a fact that ASK THE FOX blankets are not washable to the same extent as blankets made of synthetic fibres, artificial fibres, cotton, and their blends.

In a certain respect, the blanket is comparable to leather clothing, which one would not simply put into the washing machine.

Blankets made of polyester or polyacrylic are cheaper but cannot offer the same warmth and sleeping comfort as ASK THE FOX blankets. And of course, these materials can catch fire, melt, drip, and even burn into the skin (Film: Blanket Comparison).

The ASK THE FOX blanket is completely new in its kind. Until now, one had to choose between a fire blanket, usually for industrial use or the kitchen (oil fire), or a cozy blanket for the sofa. You didn’t want to cuddle with the one, and you couldn’t put out fires with the other. Now you no longer have to choose.

Conventional fire blankets are usually smaller and made from industrial glass fibers, which are used solely for covering small fires.

You can use an ASK THE FOX blanket for a lifetime. However, if you ever experience the unlikely event of a fire and need to extinguish it with the blanket, it must be disposed of afterward.

Only once.

Our ASK THE FOX cuddle blankets have been primarily designed as a way of life product. The basic idea was to transfer the fireproof blankets from the professional sector (fire brigades in Australia) into private use, thus giving the end user the opportunity to use the blankets at home and prepare for the event of a fire. Blankets are especially useful in densely populated cities, under thatched roofs, or also in cars and on sailing yachts. They protect and extinguish at the same time. In our examples, you will find all areas of application.

Where do you use our blanket? Or where would you like to use it? Write us an e-mail.

It would be presumptuous to claim that you could extinguish every fire with our blanket. The blanket was designed to immediately put out small fires and prevent the spread of flames. For this reason, the blanket should always be within reach in the house, apartment, car, or boat. For even better personal protection, we offer the HODDIE FOX blanket. It makes it even easier and more effective to protect yourself from fire in an emergency and, for example, to escape through the flames.

In many different fashionable colors.

Standard size for adults: 160 x 200 cm.
Children's sizes are being planned for the online shop.

If you need a small size immediately, please contact us: Email

Our COSY FOX blankets have colored overlock stitching.
Our ACTIVE FOX and HODDIE FOX blankets are not overlock stitched.

Tip: The clever feature of the HODDIE FOX blanket is that the head part can also be used as a foot pocket in everyday life. Recommended for people with chronically cold feet.

No, it rather complements conventional fire protection measures. The novel aspect of the blanket is its lifestyle character. It was developed in collaboration with firefighters in Australia. After the fires in California in 2018, demand at the fibre manufacturer increased. From this, the idea of a lifestyle blanket was born. With its first-class properties, the blanket exceeded all expectations of product development. (See advantages)

In our test series, we were able to extinguish a common fir tree up to 1.5 m tall well with our standard blanket in the size 160 x 200 cm. (See film)
Special sizes can be requested at any time by calling +49 (0)40 25480-444.

Tip: For the Christmas season, you will find various sizes of ground blankets under ACTIVE FOX.

Currently, there is no indication that electric cars, with or without accident impact, are more prone to catching fire than cars with combustion engines – according to the experts surveyed, it might even be that electric cars are less likely to catch fire.
Petrol and diesel vehicles rarely catch fire after accidents, with diesel fuel being much harder to ignite than petrol. A much more common cause of fire is technical defects. The reason fires in electric cars seem so threatening has two causes: extinguishing individual battery cells is almost impossible. A burning cell heats its neighboring cells until they also start to burn. This "thermal runaway" is why putting out fires in electric cars takes longer than in vehicles with combustion engines. Additionally, electric cars can catch fire in an accident if the battery is pierced. That is why Tesla protected the Model S battery from below with a titanium plate after a related accident in the USA.
Based on current experience, occupants of electric cars and combustion engine vehicles have the same amount of time to leave the burning vehicle – the fires spread relatively slowly. For electric cars, it should be noted that the battery can ignite due to internal damage up to 72 hours (or even later) after an accident – therefore, a crashed electric car must always be stored outdoors.

Tip: Keep a COSY FOX blanket in your car. This protects you from fires both inside and outside.

Customer feedback: "The blanket is already in the Tesla and I hope never to have to use it, I mean in terms of fire safety. It has already served me well for warmth. When I drove to Kiel in formal clothes, I could snuggle up comfortably in it." S.K.

The question is justified, especially since all ASK THE FOX blankets are made from the same base material and assigned to specific topics regarding how and when fire or flames can occur.
In any case, with our blanket, you have already reached something special and enjoy "first-class" protection. Because PyroTex is the world market leader and unmatched in its fireproof qualities.

Basically, it is like choosing a car: depending on what you value, your selection will narrow down, and in the end, your favorite will remain.

ASK THE FOX blankets offer the best for your health, well-being, and safety. The high-quality raw material PyroTex is used in their production, which feels pleasantly soft and fine. Through our special manufacturing and gentle production of our blankets in Germany, a uniquely fluffy and sturdy nap is created, which can even protect your life. ASK THE FOX blankets are tested for harmful substances and come without additional chemical aids. The high moisture absorption of the fiber ensures an incomparably pleasant sleeping climate and a soothing warmth that does not cause sweating.
The fiber has a very good ability to regenerate. Even body sweat odors are neutralized by its special properties.
To care for your ASK THE FOX blanket, it is enough to hang it protected outdoors overnight.

High moisture absorption
ASK THE FOX blankets have the property of storing up to 20% moisture of their own weight without feeling damp.
Example: A glass is filled 1/4 with water. This percentage roughly corresponds to the amount of water the blanket can absorb in relation to its own weight without feeling damp!

ASK THE FOX blankets are therefore especially suitable for a pleasant sleep because, due to the breathability of the fiber, no excessive sweating occurs. Compared to other materials (synthetics 4%, cotton 8%, bed feathers 10%), PyroTex is the leader in possible moisture absorption!

PyroTex fibers neutralize body sweat
PyroTex makes body sweat vanish. Even with prolonged direct skin contact, the blankets do not take on sweat odors.

No, not yet. Quilted blankets consist of a cover and a filling. The quilt can be filled with a single layer or multiple layers. In the case of a multi-layer filling, it is a duo-quilt, where two fleece layers are separated by a thin fleece layer. The cover is usually made of a tightly woven cotton fabric in fine percale or batiste.
To prevent the fleece from shifting inside the cover, the blanket is sewn through and quilted with a desired pattern. The common sizes in Germany are 135 x 200 cm and 155 x 220 cm.
We are working at full speed on an ASK THE FOX cuddle quilt.

First: We completely avoid using plastic in our packaging material. The blankets are held together only by a paper band.

Second: We help to prevent fires of all kinds, thereby doing something against climate change.

Third: We donate annually. Worldwide, the area of forested land is shrinking, which worsens climate change. To counter the devastating effects of deforestation and forest fires, we donate money once a year from the blanket proceeds to reforest woods and steppes. The woods and steppes serve as important habitats for animals and people. Preserving this ecosystem also protects regional water resources. Furthermore, the project activity provides jobs and improves local infrastructure. Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time.

Fourth: Inside every blanket is a small gift for you. We want to give you a seed that you can plant in your garden. On our interactive map, you can then follow the progress of our own forest project. Let’s start.

Fifth: Due to its antibacterial properties, the blanket only needs to be washed very rarely — this saves the resource water.
