FAR Infrared

Far infrared saunas run around 120 to 140°F, roughly forty degrees cooler than a traditional room, which is why most people sit in one for 30 to 45 minutes rather than 15. From $1,999.

What the spec sheets do and do not say

Every cabin here that publishes a maximum tops out at 140°F, and that agreement is worth knowing: the spec sheets do not disagree with each other. What they do is stay silent — fewer than half publish a maximum at all. Ask for the figure rather than assuming the 140 applies.

Most run on a standard 120V circuit and fit a normal room without an electrician. A minority need 240V, and they do not reliably say so in the title.

Wood and size

Hemlock and cedar are the two woods, and only some listings name the species in the title. Almost every cabin states a capacity, and the range runs one to eight people, though two and three person cabins are the bulk of it.

Delivery

Free shipping to the lower 48, no minimum, and it stops at the curb — the crate is left at the end of your driveway. Getting it inside is a $600 white-glove upgrade. Getting it inside and assembled is $1,800, which covers everything except electrical work: we recommend you hire a local electrician for that, because the wiring has to meet your local code and pass local inspection. Service fees are non-refundable: if the sauna goes back, the installation does not.
