The Best Indoor Sauna Collection
Enjoy complete body detoxification from your very own home! All you have to do is set up your own sauna in some extra space within your home. Getting to the gym or spa can be a hassle. Why run outside in the rain or get stuck in traffic during the summer when you can go down the hall instead?
Indoor saunas, like traditional outdoor and infrared saunas, work to push impurities and rogue chemicals out of your skin. It’s the world’s most effective deep cleanse, getting down deep into your pores in a way that exercising never could.
What are the benefits of purchasing your own indoor sauna? Let’s discuss what you stand to gain when you dedicate a space in your home for your sauna.
A Background on Indoor Saunas
Saunas are a very ancient tradition that spans back thousands of years in Nothern Europe. Some of the founding countries of saunas include Finland, Russia, Estonia, and Latvia. In the beginning days, a sauna was nothing more than an enclosed space, like a cave, and a fire. After the fire was extinguished, the residual heat of the stones kept the cave hot. To this day, that’s what sauna makers hope to achieve.
Saunas come in a few different types. There are traditional outdoor saunas that use a wood-burning stove to keep things hot, and there are infrared saunas that don’t get as hot as a traditional sauna but use infrared rays to create heat, and then there are indoor saunas that use electric stoves to crank up the temperature.
How Does an Electric Heater Work?
Some say electric heaters bring a wave of modernization to the sauna experience. Traditional outdoor saunas use wood-burning stoves, so you really get the ambiance of a true sauna, but the heat-up time is much slower, and you can’t automate your experience. Not to mention, it’s harder to really pinpoint your temperature.
On the other hand, an electric heater allows you to fully control when your sauna heats, how hot it gets, and safety controls like emergency shut-downs in case the sauna accidentally gets too hot or if a child turns it on. An electric heater is also the only type of heater you can have indoors, as a wood-burning heater needs a place for the smoke and debris to go.
Pros of an Indoor Sauna
There are many pros to owning an electric heater. An electric heater is easy to install and maintain. You don’t have to worry about cleaning out the ash and soot after every use like you would with a wood-burning stove. As mentioned above, it also doesn’t produce exhaust, so it is safe to use indoors.
The heating time of an electric heater is generally faster than that of a wood-burning stove. It usually takes less than 45 minutes to achieve your desired temperature with an electric heater, whereas a wood-burning stove could take over an hour or even longer.
You will also have better control of your desired temperature. All you have to do is select the exact temperature you want, and the electric heater will keep it at that number. A wood-burning stove is more of a guess at the range of temperature you want because it is hard to pinpoint an actual number.

Cons of an Indoor Sauna
There’s no such thing as a perfect world, and even indoor saunas have a few drawbacks. However, you’ll find that the benefits greatly outweigh the cons of an indoor sauna.
If you are looking for a more intimate experience, then an indoor sauna is perfect for you because an indoor sauna is typically on the smaller side. Outdoor saunas can accommodate a larger group, like eight people, but an indoor sauna is usually a more intimate experience.
Another thing traditional sauna enthusiasts don’t like about indoor saunas is the lack of traditional and rustic ambiance. You won’t have the sounds of a crackling fire or the smell of burning wood, but you will have convenience instead. That’s not to say that there is no ambiance at all because there certainly is. You can still get that very traditional sauna experience with a more modern twist.
Finally, the upgrades for an electric heater can get a little expensive because there are so many options you can choose from to really make an indoor sauna your own.
Assembling an Indoor Sauna
One or two people can assemble an indoor sauna with ease. In fact, it would only take two individuals an entire afternoon to completely assemble their indoor sauna from the ground up. Not to mention, you don’t need to hire a contractor to help you either.
Once your indoor sauna has been constructed, you won’t ever have to venture outside to relax ever again. That means no more wasted time commuting or sitting next to strangers who stare at a gym or spa for an uncomfortably long time. With your personal sauna, you can sit back and let the warm vapors work through you.

If you are the type of person who likes to unwind and relax on their own, then the Almost Heaven Logan 1-Person Indoor Sauna is the perfect fit for you because you won’t have the distractions of anyone else in this intimate sauna.
Another great perk about this sauna is the footprint it requires. Because it is only a one-person sauna, it doesn’t require a ton of space and could live comfortably in your bathroom.

There are a ton of upgrades as well. You can upgrade to the ultimate relaxing experience with a Himalayan salt wall, choose if your door is a window or not, and add on a bunch of sauna accessories like essential oils, mood lighting, and a ladle and bucket.
Almost Heaven Nordic 6-Person Indoor Sauna
If you are a more social person who likes to share your relaxation session with friends and family, then the Almost Heaven Nordic 6-Person Indoor Sauna could fit your needs.

The doorway is an entire wall of glass, so you don’t feel like you are trapped in a hot box, and the benches are placed in a way that is perfect for conversation. Additionally, the Virta electric heater has Wi-Fi capabilities that allow you to automate your sauna. Turning your sauna on is as easy as touching a button, as the app that comes with the heater allows you to turn it on from anywhere.
