How to Choose the Perfect Sauna for Your Home

Hey there sauna lovers! If you have been keeping up with the latest health and wellness trends, then you know about the current buzz surrounding home saunas. Guess what, this isn't just another fad! Home saunas are quickly becoming the secret weapon for health and wellness enthusiasts all over the world and here is why. 

Think about stepping into your heat sanctuary after a long day crushing it at work, wrangling your kids, or hitting the gym. It's like having a daily spa session without the awkward small talk with strangers in robes. But home saunas are not just about relaxation; these bad boys also pack serious health punches like increased blood circulation, relief from sore muscles and joints, improved mental health, better sleep, and clear skin.

Alright, so you are sold on the idea of a home sauna, but how do you choose the right one? That's why we are here to help. You need something that's not just effective but also fits your lifestyle. Here are the important factors to consider: 

 

Budget

Are you balling or keeping it real? Because let's face it, we all can't be ballers. But the good news is, there's a sauna for you regardless of your wallet size. Set a budget that works for you, but remember this is a lifetime investment in your health and wellness. Think about it as buying a treadmill but instead of running nowhere, you get to sit and sweat. Come on, this sounds like a better deal, right? 

Size: How much space are you willing to dedicate to sweating? 

Secondly, let's talk about space. Do you have a whole room you can turn into your sweat lodge or are you working with a spare closet? Will it be indoor or outdoor? Don't worry if you are not working with a large space, there are compact saunas that fit in surprisingly small spaces. You must measure your available space and select a sauna that will fit it perfectly without turning your home into an obstacle course. 

Type of Sauna

This is where it gets interesting, having decided on the space and your budget, what type of sauna do you want? Health enthusiasts rave about both traditional and infrared Saunas, but which one is best for you? Let's break it down:

• Traditional Saunas: These are the OGs of saunas. They use heated rocks or wood-burning stoves to warm the air, creating that classic sauna experience. Optionally, if you'd like a more humid experience, turn the sauna into a steam room by adding water to the rocks. If you are not sensitive to heat, this is your jam. 

• Infrared Saunas: These are high-tech beauties that use infrared light to heat your body directly at a lower cost. They use lower temperatures than traditional Saunas but can make you sweat as much. They are like the Tesla of the sauna world - modern, efficient, and a little bit more fancy. 

• Hybrid Saunas: Can't decide on which type to choose? Some saunas offer both traditional and infrared options. It's like having your cake and eating it too but instead of cake, it's sweat. Lots of sweat. 

Materials

When it comes to sauna materials, wood is the way to go. But not all woods can be used. Cedar is a popular choice because it smells amazing and easily resists rot. Hemlock is another solid option. Spruce and pine, especially when thermally modified, make an excellent choice (especially for outdoor saunas). Whatever you choose, make sure it's high quality and built to withstand heat and humidity. You don't want your sauna falling apart faster than most people's New Year resolutions. 

Heat Source

Do you know that your heating source can make or break your sauna experience? Here's the lowdown:

• Electric Heaters: These are the most common heat source for home saunas. They are easy to use and consistent, and you don't have to worry about chopping wood. This is perfect for the modern sauna enthusiast. 

• Wood-Burning Stoves: If you want the authentic, primal sauna experience and you don't mind the extra work, a wood-burning stove might just be for you. It's like the difference between gas and charcoal grills - there's just something very special about the real thing. 

• Infrared Heaters: These are found in infrared saunas. They heat you directly without warming the air as much. It's like being hugged by the sun without the UV damage.

Features: Bells, Whistles, and Maybe Some Speakers?

Now let's talk about extras. Modern saunas now come with all sorts of cool features. We are talking about built-in sound systems, chromotherapy lighting ( why not add some color to your sweat session?), and even WiFi connectivity (to start heating up your sauna remotely). 

But remember, more features won't change the benefits of using a sauna, only the experience. Think about what you will use. Do you need a sauna that can play music and simulate the Northern lights, or are you more of a “heat and a bench” kind of person?

Keep Your Safety in Mind

You want your sauna to be a haven, right? So make sure it's built with non-toxic materials inside and out. Insist on tempered glass for doors and windows, and with an automatic shut-off feature. We are talking about keeping track of your sessions to avoid any dehydration mishaps.

Know the Cost of Maintenance

Let's talk about maintaining your sauna after installation. An infrared sauna is your best bet when it comes to energy efficiency as it costs less to maintain. On the other hand, traditional saunas cost a bit more to maintain, so plan your budget accordingly. This cost calculator might help give you an idea.
