How You Can Create The Best Home Sauna Experience In 2023
Few things are better for relaxation than a nice sauna session. Cultures with a sauna tradition have enjoyed the relaxation and possible health benefits of regular sauna use for many years, and more recently sauna use has become increasingly common in additional countries with more gymnasiums and clubs having their own saunas for patrons to use. But for some dedicated sauna users, the ultimate convenience is to leisurely sweat in your own home sauna.
The JNH Lifestyles line of infrared home saunas has quickly become one of the most popular lines, because of their stylish design, wide availability, and affordable prices. Their 2-person model in Canadian Hemlock wood, pictured here, is their most popular model.

Finding The Right Fit For Your Home
Hopefully the comparison chart above is helpful in providing a quick overview of key metrics for some of the best home saunas. The first step for choosing the right fit for your home though may be to consider how much space you have to spare in your home for your new sauna, and how many people you would like your sauna to accommodate at one time.
Home Sauna Sizes
Home saunas come in a variety of sizes, typically large enough to fit between 1 and 5 people simultaneously. The smallest option, 1 person saunas, typically have a footprint of around 3 feet wide by 3 feet deep and are designed for personal use in great comfort. The standout brands in infrared personal saunas include JNH Lifestyles, Dynamic Saunas, Radiant Saunas, and Crystal Sauna.
For those who have more space to spare and people they would like to enjoy the sauna with, higher capacity 2 person saunas and 3 person saunas are the best sellers. JNH Lifestyles also dominates the popularity here, but there are also nice models in mid-range prices from Radiant Saunas, SunRay, and Dynamic, with higher-end models from Lifesmart and Maxxus.

Home Sauna Types
In addition to different sizes, there are also different types of saunas available to you in your home. Let’s take a look at the different types of home saunas below.
Infrared Saunas
The most popular type of home sauna is by far the infrared sauna. Infrared saunas have many benefits for home use, including a smaller footprint (space is not needed for a large heater), smaller price tag (again, no heater equipment needed), and a quick heat-up time.
A traditional sauna needs to be either kept hot or given an hour or two to heat up for each use, but an infrared sauna is ready for use within 5 or 10 minutes.

Portable Saunas
Another popular type of home sauna are portable saunas. Generally a much smaller investment, these saunas can be moved around quite easily and can still provide a convenient sweat for your body. Portable saunas are also available in the infrared variety, as well as identical looking models that use steam instead of infrared heat.
So with portable saunas you have your choice of infrared or steam heat sources.
