Best indoor saunas for homes

Updated 30 Oct 202678 saunas comparedOrdered by our published method

We list 78 indoor saunas. Ceiling height often decides it: they stand 73 to 88 in tall, and you need room above for air and the heater. Here they are grouped by the ceiling they need.

Basements and garages

Both work for indoor saunas if the floor is level and dry and the power is right. In a basement, check moisture first and ask the maker about the floor. In an unheated garage, ask the maker whether the sauna is rated for cold, since indoor models aren't built for weather. Either way, a licensed electrician should confirm the circuit.

Check your room

Fit Check uses your width, depth, ceiling and doorway.

Before you buy

Check what your panel needs, installation cost and running cost. Still deciding on a type? Read infrared vs traditional and indoor vs outdoor, or see how the brands compare. A licensed electrician should confirm any wiring before you order.

Questions buyers ask

What ceiling height does an indoor sauna need?

The indoor saunas we list stand 73 to 88 in tall. With 6 in above, that means a ceiling from about 79 to 94 in. Check the manual for the exact clearance.

Can I put a sauna in my basement?

Often, yes, if the floor is level and dry and the power is right. Check the maker's manual for clearances and have a licensed electrician confirm the circuit.
