Indoor Sauna Product Types

Our collection presents three main types of indoor saunas: traditional indoor sauna models, infrared indoor sauna options, and hybrid models that combine the best of both worlds. Each type delivers unique benefits and experiences to suit your preferences and wellness goals, with our precision-engineered modular systems ensuring superior build quality.

Traditional Indoor Sauna Models

Traditional saunas use a sauna heater to warm the air inside the sauna cabin, creating a hot and steamy environment with heat and humidity. The high temperature and humidity can help open pores, promote sweating, and facilitate a deep cleansing effect. Many people find the moist heat of traditional steam soothing for respiratory issues and enjoy the social aspect of sharing the experience with others. Our traditional finnish steam saunas feature FSC-certified canadian hemlock wood construction and 6-9 kW Harvia steam generators for an authentic nordic sauna experience. Interested in an outdoor sauna instead?

If you’d rather place your cabin on a patio or in the garden, check out our purpose-built outdoor saunas engineered to survive British wind, rain, and frost.

Infrared Indoor Sauna Collection

Infrared saunas use specialized low-EMF carbon panel infrared 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. Far infrared saunas are recognized for their ability to relieve sore muscles, improve circulation, and aid in detoxification. The gentle heat is also ideal for those who find conventional saunas too intense or uncomfortable. Our infrared indoor sauna with carbon heaters delivers superior heat distribution operating at 45-60°C with 15-minute warm-up times.

Shoppers who want extra-wide benches, premium aromatherapy kits, and signature lighting should explore our curated line of luxury saunas for a true spa-level upgrade.

Hybrid Finnish Sauna Systems

Hybrid saunas combine the advantages of both traditional and infrared heating methods. This allows you to customize 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 present versatility and adaptability for a truly personalized wellness routine. These dual-mode systems also come in various luxury design styles, featuring 8mm smoke-tint tempered safety glass windows and basswood or cedar finishes.

How to Choose the Perfect Home Sauna

When selecting an indoor sauna, consider your available space, desired capacity, and preferred heating type. Our team can guide you through the best specification for your needs:

Space and Capacity: If you have a spacious home spa area and enjoy sauna sessions with family or friends, a generous 4-5 person or 5-6 person traditional or hybrid sauna may be ideal. For couples, our popular 2 person indoor sauna or 2-person infrared models fit seamlessly in smaller spaces. Those seeking ultimate privacy might prefer our single person compact designs.

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

Additional Features: Explore features like chromotherapy LED ceiling wash with 7 cycle modes, Bluetooth stereo with hidden transducers, and ergonomic seating for the ultimate luxury sauna experience.

Sauna Construction and Build Quality

Our saunas feature premium materials including canadian hemlock wood and red cedar wood options, sourced for their natural resistance to moisture and decay. Each sauna cabin is constructed with panel-lock modular precision, featuring 8mm smoke-tint tempered safety glass windows and doors for safety and visibility. The infrared models use advanced low-EMF carbon panel technology (<3 mG at 5 cm from emitter), while traditional models incorporate professional-grade 6-9 kW Harvia stove components.

2 Person Sauna Options

Our 2 person sauna collection is particularly popular among UK homeowners, striking the perfect balance of intimacy and space efficiency. These 2 person infrared models feature full-spectrum carbon/ceramic emitters and can accommodate most home installations with footprints approximately 1.5m W × 1.3m D. Whether you choose a 2-person traditional steam model or an infrared variant, you'll enjoy the same meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail.

3 Person Indoor Sauna Range

For small families or those who desire slightly more space, our 3 person indoor sauna options represent excellent value. These models bridge the gap between compact 2-person units and larger family saunas, making them ideal for most home environments while still providing a comprehensive sauna experience with dual-mode hybrid switching capabilities.

Compact and Family Sauna Solutions

Our range spans from 1-2 seater compact infrared cabins with footprints of approximately 1.2m W × 1.1m D, perfect for intimate wellness sessions. For larger gatherings, our 3-6 seater family suites feature dual-heat technology and full-spectrum IR capabilities. The Jaquar Solo and Como 1 represent our compact offerings, while models like the Serene accommodate 3-4 people comfortably.

Innovative Fabric Pod Technology

Beyond traditional wooden construction, we offer InnoZen's patented soft-wall fabric saunas including Urban, Comfort, and Superior models. These portable units accommodate 1-5 people and feature aerospace-grade IR film technology, assembling in under 30 minutes with zip-together construction.
