Style
There are a few types of sauna styles you should know about—traditional steam saunas, infrared saunas, and dry saunas. To help, Dr. Ingegno shared the differences between the main types of home saunas. Traditional saunas, sometimes called Finnish saunas, tend to run the hottest, with maximum temperatures over 200°F. Usually, the sessions are shorter, lasting for 15 to 20 minutes at most. These units often have heated rocks that a small amount of water can be splashed on to create a little bit...
Size
If you are installing a home sauna, there are various sizes and shapes available to buy to fit into whatever space you choose. Full-size options typically range from 60–70 inches in height and 35–85 inches in width, depending on how many people it has capacity for. Depths usually vary between around 35–70 inches. “If you choose a larger sauna, be aware that it will take longer to reach optimal temperature,” Dr. Ingegno says.
Capacity
In relation to capacity, some home saunas have a capacity of one to two people, while others can hold up to around six people. The suggested number of people is clearly stated on each sauna, and this should be adhered to for safety and optimal benefits. If you’re planning on solo use, portable saunas, such as the SereneLife SLISAU35BK Full Size Portable Steam Sauna, are available which are much smaller and more economical than full-sized versions. Portable saunas are made for the user to sit...
SereneLife Portable Infrared Home Spa
The SereneLife Portable Infrared Home Spacame with its own foldable chair that you sit on inside the unit, but we found it to be very uncomfortable to sit on. We did appreciate that there are two holes for your hands if you’d like to read a book or use your phone while you steam. You can even watch TV since your whole head is outside of the actual sauna. You can adjust the temperature on this single-person sauna to your liking, up to 140°F, and use it for up to 60 minutes at a time. When test...
How much do home saunas typically cost?
When it comes to the best home saunas, you can expect to spend anywhere from $200 for a compact style to upwards of $10,000 for a more advanced pick. The price is mainly impacted by the type of sauna, size, materials used, and additional features the home sauna offers, like multiple settings or speakers to play music. Dr. Purdy provides a general pricing guideline for the different types of saunas available for home use: 1. Infrared Saunas: These can range from approximately $1,000 to $5,000....
Which is better—a steam or a dry sauna?
Most of the research today is done with Finnish or infrared saunas. Steam saunas do have benefits, but fewer studies include them. “If you prefer moist heat, steam saunas may be better for you,” Dr. Ingegno says. “If you are looking for more options regarding sizes and shapes, infrared will be your best option.” Dr. Purdy tells us that the question of whether a steam sauna or a dry sauna is "better" largely depends on individual preferences, health conditions, and the specific benefits you're...
