An indoor infrared sauna plugs into the wall, needs no stove or venting, and fits in a spare room. This guide covers ten popular home models from Dynamic, Sunray and Maxxus, what to look for when comparing them, and how to match one to your space. For the full range, browse our indoor infrared saunas or all infrared saunas for home.
How an Infrared Sauna Works
A traditional sauna heats the air around you with a stove. An infrared sauna uses infrared heaters, usually carbon or ceramic panels, that warm you directly. Cabin air stays cooler than in a traditional sauna, commonly about 120-150°F, which many people find easier to breathe. If you are weighing both types, read infrared vs traditional saunas.
What to Look for in a Home Infrared Sauna
- Capacity: match the cabin to the number of users and the room. Our sauna size guide explains how much space you need, and you can shop by size: 2-person, 3-person and 4-person saunas.
- Wood: hemlock and cedar are the common choices. See the best wood for a sauna.
- Heater type: carbon, ceramic or a mix. Compare carbon heater saunas and ceramic heater saunas.
- EMF level: manufacturers label models low, ultra low or near zero EMF. These are manufacturer labels, not a single standard. See low EMF infrared saunas.
- Controls and extras: chromotherapy lighting, Bluetooth or MP3 audio, interior and exterior control panels and assembly style.
- Power: many smaller models run on a standard household outlet, but larger ones may need a dedicated circuit. Check the manufacturer's specifications for the exact model.
