Size, power and placement

  • Capacity: buy one size larger than you think if you want to lie down or share sessions.
  • Electrical: many 1–2 person infrared saunas plug into a dedicated 120 V/15–20 A outlet; larger infrared and most traditional heaters need a 240 V circuit installed by an electrician.
  • EMF: look for "low", "ultra-low" or "near zero" EMF ratings if you want to minimize exposure.
  • Location: indoor saunas need a level floor and a few inches of clearance; outdoor saunas need a level, drained base.

Pair your sauna with contrast therapy: see our cold plunge tubs, or shop by brand: Golden Designs and Medical Saunas.

Saunas: frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an infrared and a traditional sauna?

A traditional sauna heats the air to about 160–195°F with an electric or wood heater, and you can pour water on the rocks for steam. An infrared sauna uses infrared panels to warm your body directly at a lower air temperature of about 120–140°F, heats up faster and usually costs less to run.

Can a home sauna plug into a regular outlet?

Some 1–2 person infrared saunas plug into a dedicated 120 V household outlet (15–20 A). Larger infrared saunas and nearly all traditional heaters need a 240 V circuit installed by a licensed electrician. Each product page lists the exact electrical requirement.

How much does a home sauna cost?

Our home saunas start at about $2,999 for a compact 1–2 person infrared sauna. Most 2–3 person infrared and full spectrum saunas cost $4,000 to $9,000, traditional and outdoor saunas $7,000 to $19,000, and large hybrid saunas up to about $25,000. Shipping is free and financing is available.

What does low EMF or near zero EMF mean?

EMF (electromagnetic field) is emitted by electric heaters and wiring. Low, ultra-low and near zero EMF saunas use shielded heaters and wiring to reduce exposure inside the cabin. Golden Designs publishes the EMF rating on each model.

Is an outdoor sauna worth it?

An outdoor or barrel sauna frees up indoor space, can be larger, and pairs well with a cold plunge or pool. It needs a level, drained base and weather-rated wiring, so budget for site prep and an electrician.
