ALL ABOUT GOLDEN DESIGNS
INFRARED EMF OUTPUT
We all love those blissful moments in an infrared sauna that melts away muscle tension, detoxifies the body, and rejuvenates the skin. However, what about the potential risks associated with EMF overexposure?
While many conventional brands may not prioritize reducing EMF levels in their sauna, Golden Designs has gone above and beyond to ensure user safety.
In this article, we'll discuss everything about the Golden Designs Infrared EMF output and answer all your questions that might be lingering in your mind.
Understanding EMF Output in Golden Designs
As a renowned brand in the wellness industry, Golden Designs specializes in providing luxurious, state-of-the-art infrared saunas. Its innovative line-up boasts a range of models with cutting-edge features, making them the go-to choice for anyone looking to up their self-care game.
Some of its top-rated models include:
-
Golden Designs Classic Infrared Saunas
-
Golden Designs Dynamic Series
-
Golden Designs Maxxus Series
-
Golden Designs Outdoor Traditional and Hybrid Saunas
Golden Designs infrared saunas are touted for its ingenious implementation of carbon heating panels. Unlike traditional ceramic heaters, carbon heating panels ensure uniform heat distribution throughout the room. This leads to a more comfortable, consistent, and beneficial sauna experience.
What distinguishes these saunas is their extraordinarily low EMF ratings, which are as follows:
-
Low EMF: Many of its models come with low EMF carbon heating panels. This is important because high EMF levels have been associated with potential health risks (more on this later). Rest assured, Golden Designs delivers an impressive heating experience while keeping things on the safe side.
-
Ultra-Low EMF: Some saunas in its collection even offer ultra-low EMF carbon heating panels, going beyond the industry standards to stay true to the health-focused vision of the brand.
-
Near-Zero EMF: For those wanting the ultimate EMF protection, Golden Designs provides near-zero EMF models, making your sauna sessions a pure relaxation experience.
How Golden Designs Measures Infrared EMF Output
Golden Designs strictly adheres to the BS EN 62233:2008 industry standard to ensure your sauna sessions are as safe as they are soothing. This international standard is all about measuring electromagnetic fields up to 300 GHz. It explains how to examine the intensity of electric fields and magnetic flux density around common home appliances, including our cozy saunas.
When its saunas are undergoing quality checks, it uses an EMF meter to measure the EMF output. This handy device is placed a mere two inches away from the heating panels for accurate readings.
During this testing, it ensures its low EMF saunas range between 5mG and 10mG, its ultra-low EMF saunas have an output between 3mG to 5mG, and its near zero EMF saunas fall below 3mG range to offer the purest, health-friendly sauna experience possible.
If you want to test out the infrared EMF output of your sauna, consider investing in the Trifield EMF Meter Model TF2. This model is slightly less expansive than other meters but equally precise and accurate.

Why Low EMF Output Matters for Sauna Users
Electromagnetic fields consist of radiation of different wavelengths and energy. While some electromagnetic fields (EMFs), like visible light and infrared, are viewed as mostly harmless, others can have detrimental impacts on human health.
Health Risks
High-frequency electromagnetic field contains X-rays and gamma rays. These rays are types of ionizing radiation. Research shows that when you are exposed to these rays, they damage the cells and DNA directly, causing mutations and cancer.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency further explains that high concentrations of X-rays and gamma rays can cause radiation sickness, manifesting as nausea, weakness, hair loss, skin burns, or decreased organ function.
Research also shows that electromagnetic rays can affect sleep quality, which can ultimately alter your mood, behavior, and cognitive abilities in a negative way.
There's some speculation about a potential link between long-term exposure to EMFs and decreased fertility in both men and women.
Some studies suggest a potential link between exposure to ELF EMFs and an increased risk of childhood leukemia, although more research is needed to confirm a direct cause-effect relationship.
Since sauna sessions are all about relaxation and rejuvenation, it's important that the level of EMFs should be kept as low as possible. This will allow you to soak up all the perks of a sauna session, from dialing down stress and pumping up your circulation to shedding those pounds in a safe environment.
Health Benefits of Using Golden Designs Low EMF Infrared Sauna
Following are some of the health benefits of Golden Designs Low EMF infrared saunas like Golden Designs Bellagio and Golden Designs Geneva:
Helps with Detoxification
With its superior heating technology, the Golden Designs Low EMF infrared sauna is a powerhouse for sweating out those toxins. The sauna-induced sweat helps flush out harmful substances, giving your body the detox it deserves.
Supports Weight-Loss Efforts
While it's not a standalone weight loss method, sauna can help shed some unwanted pounds. UCLA Health explains that a sauna session can get your heart pumping, which increases your metabolism and, in turn, burns extra calories. You can even use it as a warm-up tool before hopping on a treadmill or performing a sauna workout to make the most of your sweat session.
Boosts Circulation
The deep warmth of the infrared sauna isn't only about relaxation. Regular sessions in this sauna can help stimulate blood circulation. This improved blood flow enhances your cardiovascular health and delivers essential nutrients and oxygen to damaged tissues for a faster healing and recovery process, notes the Arthritis Foundation.
Promotes Skin Health
Who doesn't want that natural glow? It turns out that Golden Designs' low EMF infrared saunas stimulate collagen reproduction and cell regeneration, helping improve your skin tone while minimizing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
When you sweat, your pores also open up, purging impurities and other bacteria lurking inside. This can reduce the chances of frequent breakouts and acne, giving you a more radiant-looking skin.
Relieves Stress
As explained earlier, high levels of EMF have been known to cause oxidative stress to body tissues. This can lead to depression and anxiety, among other issues. Fortunately, Golden Designs' low EMF output saunas do the exact opposite.
When you spend time in a warm infrared sauna, research shows that it reduces the production of cortisol — commonly known as the 'stress hormone.' This biochemical transformation can help ease stress, reduce anxiety, and promote well-being.
Improves Respiratory Function
Try out Golden Designs infrared sauna if you're suffering from seasonal allergies, a common cold, or a stuffy nose. The warm, moist air helps soothe bronchial membranes and thin out stubborn mucus, making it easier to breathe. This can be especially beneficial for people suffering from asthma, sinusitis, bronchitis, and COPD.
Better Mood and Sleep
Are you feeling a little blue or cranky these days? Golden Designs' infrared sauna may make you feel better. As your body acclimates to the warmth of the sauna, your brain starts releasing feel-good hormones, which induce a feeling of happiness and uplift your mood.
After a toasty session, as your body gradually cools, it triggers certain physiological cues, signaling your body that it's time for sleep.
Strengthens the Immune System
While high-frequency EMF saunas pose risks to your immune system, the Golden Designs low EMF infrared sauna stands out with a significant advantage—it actively fortifies the immune system.
The sauna-generated heat increases the body's core temperature — similar to a fever. This artificial fever stimulates the production of white blood cells and heat shock proteins. These cells function as our body's first line of defense, warding off illnesses and infections.

Gold Designs Infrared EMF Output: FAQs
How much EMF do infrared saunas emit?
Infrared saunas emit low EMF compared to traditional saunas, with levels ranging from 0.6 to 5 mG.
Is a low EMF sauna better?
Absolutely! Some research suggests excessive EMFs can cause unwanted biological effects. By choosing a low-EMF sauna, you're taking a proactive step in limiting your exposure while still reaping the benefits of sauna use.
What are the symptoms of EMF toxicity?
Some symptoms of prolonged exposure to high EMF levels include headaches, anxiety, concentration difficulties, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, heart palpitations, and skin irritations. If you suspect you're experiencing EMF toxicity, chatting with your doctor is worthwhile.
Does EMF weaken the immune system?
While direct evidence is limited, some research indicates that long-term exposure to high levels of EMF stimulates allergic and inflammatory responses and affects tissue repair processes. This can weaken your immune system and make you susceptible to various diseases.

I haven't even built this sauna yet (Rainelle), but I have to give an ENORMOUS shoutout to Adora and especially KELLY for their help on this one. This was a big purchase for us, and these ladies went way out of their way to make it work out for us. The first sauna that showed up was badly damaged in shipping, and from what it sounds like - that is not typical. At all. So Kelly helped us to get it squared away, and it took what could have been a horrible customer experience into a fantastic one. Give this woman a raise!
We really like our sauna! Quality of the sauna seems decent. The quality of the accessories was not! The back recliner was all busted up out of the box.
My wife and I would occasionally sit in the sauna at our gym after a workout. It was hot but a little gross. I can't tell you how many times we bailed on the gym sauna session because someone else was playing their phone too loud, someone was breathing like they were gasping for air, someone decided to be shirtless in public, someone is weird or any number of other reasons. Loved the sauna feeling but HATED the gym sauna.
We bought a sauna for our home and installed it in our basement to escape the gym sauna experience. We absolutely love it! We sauna daily. Without the angst and frustration of hoping to avoid an awkward gross experience at the gym sauna.
If you are considering a sauna purchase, spend a little extra and get the WIFI enabled heater. This is the best way to make sure you get the benefit of owning a sauna. The app on our phone is easy to use. Just click the on/off button on the app and set your temperature to your desire. I like 171. My wife likes 153. Once it hits the temperature, the app will let you know. You can even turn on your sauna while you are on the way home from the gym. The WIFI version and the app make all the difference in usability and enjoyment of your investment. If we did not have the app and the WIFI version, we probably would probably skip 2/3 of the sessions we currently take.
The sauna is well made. Wood quality is excellent. Very few knots and blemishes. Hillsboro Almost Heaven saunas are a great choice for quality components, solid electronics, easy to use controls and an enjoyable sauna experience.
This is a standard kit sauna. I made several modifications but I am very satisfied with it so far. I have a few shingles left to install tomorrow and then will move onto to interior. MSW has been easy to work with and I recommend them.
I really love this sauna. I use it about four times a week to help me wind down before bed and calm my ego. Customer service at MySaunaWorld was great.
Assembly took me roughly 8–10 hours total over two days, and I’m not a particularly handy person. The step by step instructions video was straightforward and easy to follow.
I paired the sauna with the HUUM Drop 9 heater (the largest HUUM Drop), and it performs very well. I hired an electrician to install it (about $900 extra). It easily heats the sauna to 190°F plus. I personally like it around 180°F, which it reaches in about an hour. Also, you can pour water over the hot rocks to make the air hotter and steamier. Make sure to mount it low so that it can heat everything above it. (I mounted mine 6” from the ground to the base of the heater.) I love that I can start heating the sauna from my iPhone, even when I’m not on my home Wi-Fi.
I got the double-bench configuration going across the back of the sauna which lets two people lay down. The area around the lower bench is cooler which is nice to have different temperature seating options.
The sauna looks fantastic, smells great, and feels solid. I would recommend this sauna to a friend.
We love our new Almost Heaven Pinnacle barrel sauna!
Delivery was perfect, the assembly was a breeze, and the sauna fits perfectly in our space.
The only regret we have is not to have made this purchase 10 years ago!
I had been thinking about installing a sauna for quite some time. I kept going back and forth between framing one in or a prefab that I assemble. I spent several weeks going over the various websites looking at designs for both and writing out the pros/cons for each. After much deliberation, I reached out to My Sauna World to purchase an Almost Heaven Greyson.
It came way sooner than expected which was a good thing, so I had to arrange for my electrician. I assembled it very easily, with my wife holding just one panel, and then I ran into a problem. The last wall was short. It took a lot of head scratching and measuring and remeasuring as well as back and forth communication with both My Sauna World and Almost Heaven. It turned out that I had been sent 2 glass panels that were the same dimension when the 2 glass panels are actually designed with different dimensions. The new panel was sent out without question, and the rest of the assembly went easy.
I will say that the folks at My Sauna World were extremely responsive and did a great job as liaison back to the manufacturer.
Overall, I had a really positive experience, and we are very happy with the Greyson with the Harvia Spirit 8kW stove.
We also have the duckboard flooring (that is a must) sitting on top of the concrete floor. The back and leg rest are also recommended.
Note: this is advertised as a 3-4 person but in reality it is a good 2 person. And lastly, I grew up with sauna my whole life, starting with my grandpa’s wood burning sauna. This non insulated Greyson type will not get up to the same temperatures, but it does get the job done. Very pleased with the product and do recommend (to frame one in my self and buy a pre-cut kit would have cost a few thousand more overall)
Their customer service is refreshing in a world where most companies fail miserably with service. They should teach customer service to other companies and government agencies. We have only tested the actual product to make sure it works, but along the way, we had multiple questions and the replies were quick and helpful. The sauna was easy to assemble.
Frankly, I was stunned at the quality of this product. Equally stunning is how easily everything fits together. It’s well and I’m looking to an improved lifestyle.
Back rests are a nice size and fit perfectly in my Lugano 3-person sauna. They are very comfortable (especially considering they are wood) and make sitting in the sauna an even more pleasant experience. To think that they were added in free to my purchase of the sauna is hard to believe. Very pleased with customer service from My Sauna World.com !
Well built, good quality, reliable, and matches my barrel sauna very well
I purchased this since it was significantly more affordable than from the brands website. It arrived quickly and is function perfect. It's easy to install and looks great. I had issues with water leaking into the sauna before that used to annoy me. Now it stays completely dry and the wood also is protected from damage and weathering.
The best Sauna ever, and the quickest delivery, 100% recommend !!!!
Works exactly as advertised. Easy install and perfect coverage. Highly recommend.
Very good customer service. My sauna came as expected.
