If you're shopping for a home sauna or infrared sauna cabin, you already know the benefits: better sleep, detox, stress relief, faster recovery.

But before you commit to spending thousands and dedicating six feet of space to a bulky wooden box—there’s a smarter way.

Home sauna cabins are seductive. Cedar walls. The soft hiss of heat. The illusion of luxury.

But here’s what most people don’t know:

Infrared sauna blankets like the HeatPod 2 use the same far-infrared (FIR) heat technology as $5,000 sauna cabins. They raise your core body temperature. They stimulate the same detox pathways. They make you sweat—Deeply. Intensely. Effectively.

Same science. Different footprint.

1 - Saunas take up too much room 📐

If you live in a smaller apartment that is under 1500 square feet, there really isn't too much space to install a sauna. Saunas can take up anywhere from 30-100 square feet of floor space, making it unattainable for residents of big cities who live in smaller homes.

2 - Saunas cost a bomb 💰

Saunas are one of the best things that one can use to enhance their longevity and healthspan, with its multi-purpose health benefits. However, they may cost up to $10000, making it a luxury expense for the majority of people.

3 - Saunas are a pain to setup and maintain 🥵

Saunas are huge - and they usually require external assistance for setting them up the right way. Not only that, cleaning the saunas and maintaining them can take up lots of time and money.

4 - Saunas may damage your hair 😭

The high temperatures in a sauna can strip your hair of its natural moisture, leading to dryness, brittleness and potential breakage. The heat can irritate your scalp and may even make your hair more susceptible to damage.

5 - Saunas take a long time to heat up ⏳

Regular Finnish saunas may take between 30-60 minutes to fully heat up. If you're in a hurry and forget to turn the sauna on in advance, you're going to be wasting lots of time. Not only that, it consumes a ton of energy, which will quickly rack up your electricity bill.

While the perks of sauna use are undeniable, you don't have to deal with the hassle and costs of installing one at home. 

​Fortunately for you, there is a much more accessible option. One that shares the same benefits as a traditional sauna, without all the downsides.

While often seen as a luxurious spa treat, sauna bathing has traditionally been used as a form of heat therapy for ages. Studies have shown that regular sauna exposure can bring you long-term health benefits.

• Decelerated aging
• Higher cardiovascular respiratory fitness
• Improved muscle recovery and physical performance
• Better brain and mental health

PRO TIP:

According to experts, the benefits from 4-7 sauna sessions a week were even greater than 2-3 sessions a week. This means the more you sauna, the more amazing results you'll see!
