Indoor Saunas

Overview of Indoor Saunas

Indoor saunas offer a convenient and accessible way to enjoy the rewards of sauna therapy year-round. By raising your core body temperature, saunas can help improve circulation, relieve muscle tension, reduce stress, and even aid in weight loss. With a variety of sizes, heating technologies, and luxury features available, there's an indoor sauna perfect for every home and lifestyle.

Indoor Sauna Product Types

Our collection presents three main types of indoor saunas: traditional saunas, infrared saunas, and hybrid models that combine the best of both worlds. Each type offers unique benefits and experiences to suit your preferences and wellness goals.

Traditional Saunas

Traditional saunas use a heater to warm the air inside the sauna cabin, creating a hot and steamy environment. The high heat and humidity can help open pores, promote sweating, and provide a deep cleansing effect. Many people find the moist heat of traditional saunas soothing for respiratory issues and enjoy the social aspect of sharing the experience with others. Want a traditional outdoor infrared sauna?

Infrared Saunas 

Infrared saunas use special heaters that emit infrared light waves to directly warm the body, rather than heating the air. This allows for a lower ambient temperature while still providing a deep, penetrating heat. Infrared therapy is known for its ability to relieve sore muscles, improve circulation, and aid in detoxification. The gentle heat is also ideal for those who find traditional saunas too hot or uncomfortable.

Hybrid Saunas

Hybrid saunas offer the best of both worlds by combining traditional and infrared heating methods. This allows you to customise your sauna experience based on your mood and health needs. Enjoy the soothing steam of a traditional sauna one day, and the targeted infrared therapy the next. Hybrid models offer versatility and adaptability for a truly personalised wellness routine. Hybrid saunas also come in various luxury design saunas styles.

How to Choose an Indoor Sauna

When selecting an indoor sauna, consider your available space, desired capacity, and preferred heating type:

• Space and Capacity: If you have a larger home spa area and enjoy sauna sessions with family or friends, a spacious 4-6 person traditional or hybrid sauna may be ideal. For a more compact and personalised experience, a 1-2 person infrared sauna can fit perfectly in a smaller room or corner.

• Wellness Goals: Think about what you hope to gain from regular sauna use. For muscle recovery and pain relief, an infrared sauna with targeted heaters provides deep, penetrating therapy. For stress relief and relaxation, the steam and aromatherapy options in a traditional sauna may be more appealing.

• Additional Features: Consider features like chromotherapy lighting, Bluetooth audio systems, and ergonomic seating for the top of the line luxury sauna experience.
