Investing in a home sauna is the first step toward better sleep, faster recovery, stress relief, and daily relaxation. But once you begin shopping, one important question comes up: Should you choose an indoor or outdoor sauna?
At Infinity Saunas, we specialize in premium cabin-style saunas, including advanced Full Spectrum Infrared models and traditional steam saunas. Unlike basic barrel saunas, our luxury designs are built to complement your home with the look and feel of a professional spa.
Here is everything you need to know before choosing the right sauna for your space and lifestyle.
1. Indoor Saunas: A Private Spa Inside Your Home
Indoor saunas are one of the most popular options for homeowners who want a convenient and comfortable wellness experience.
Benefits of an Indoor Sauna
-
Everyday Convenience: Step directly from your shower or workout into your sauna without going outside, making daily sessions easier and more enjoyable.
-
Simple Installation: Many indoor infrared saunas, including models like the Maxxus S-Line, are designed for quick assembly on tile, laminate, or carpeted floors. Smaller models can even plug into a standard 110V outlet.
-
Faster Heating: Indoor saunas heat up quickly and maintain a stable temperature because they are protected from outdoor weather conditions.
Best Places for an Indoor Sauna
-
Master Bathroom: Create a luxurious spa-like experience at home.
-
Home Gym: Perfect for post-workout recovery and relaxation.
-
Basement or Spare Room: Turn unused space into a personal wellness retreat.
2. Outdoor Saunas: A Backyard Wellness Retreat
If you enjoy fresh air, nature, and the feeling of escaping your home environment, an outdoor sauna may be the perfect choice.
Benefits of an Outdoor Sauna
-
Natural Cooling Experience: Cooling down outdoors after a sauna session creates a refreshing hot-and-cold therapy experience.
-
Saves Indoor Space: Outdoor saunas free up interior square footage while adding value and visual appeal to your backyard.
-
Built for the Outdoors: Our outdoor sauna models are crafted from durable woods like Canadian Red Cedar, designed to handle changing weather conditions while maintaining long-term beauty and performance.
3. Full Spectrum vs. FAR Infrared
When shopping for infrared saunas, you will often see two main technologies: FAR Infrared and Full Spectrum Infrared.
-
FAR Infrared: Designed for deep tissue heat penetration, helping support relaxation, circulation, detoxification, and muscle recovery.
-
Full Spectrum Infrared: Combines Near, Mid, and FAR infrared wavelengths for a more complete sauna experience. Near infrared supports skin wellness, Mid infrared helps circulation, and FAR infrared delivers deep, soothing heat.
Which Sauna Is Right for You?
-
Choose an Indoor Sauna if: You want maximum convenience, quick heat-up times, and easy daily use inside your home.
-
Choose an Outdoor Sauna if: You enjoy backyard relaxation, entertaining guests, and a more traditional outdoor sauna experience.
