Infrared Saunas

What is an infrared sauna?

An infrared sauna warms your body with infrared radiation instead of heating the air in the cabin. The heat feels pleasant and deep while the temperature stays relatively low, usually between 40 and 60 degrees Celsius. For many people that makes an infrared sauna more accessible and more comfortable than a traditional sauna at very high temperatures.

Thanks to the mild heat, the short warm-up time and the relatively low energy consumption, more and more people choose an infrared sauna for home. Whether you are looking for a moment of relaxation after a busy working day or want to build a fixed wellness routine, an infrared sauna offers comfort and convenience in your own space.

Buying an infrared sauna for home

Choosing to buy an infrared sauna means choosing an energy-efficient, user-friendly sauna that fits easily into most homes. Infrared saunas are compact, quick to reach temperature and generally run on a standard power socket, which makes them ideal for daily use.

An infrared sauna at home lets you enjoy a wellness experience whenever you like, without leaving the house.

Looking for an indoor sauna?
