Best infrared saunas

Updated 30 Oct 202656 saunas comparedOrdered by our published method

Infrared saunas heat you with panels instead of heating the air with a stove. That lets them run on 120V, warm up at lower temperatures and fit in a spare room. We list 56 infrared saunas from 5 brands.

Full spectrum or far infrared?

Every infrared sauna uses far-infrared emitters. "Full spectrum" means the maker adds near- and mid-infrared emitters as well. 20 of the saunas here are sold as full spectrum. We list what each maker says its sauna includes. We don't rate claimed health effects, because that's outside what published specs can show.

EMF: what the evidence actually is

Many infrared makers advertise low EMF. Very few publish test results, and most of those were paid for by the brand. Here is what each maker publishes, labeled the way we label it everywhere on the site.

"Brand-commissioned" means the brand paid for the test. We show it because it's the only evidence available, not because we've verified it.

Wiring

31 of these plug into a standard outlet. Most of the rest need a dedicated 120V circuit, and 3 need 240V or 30A. Our plug-in guide sorts them by plug type. If you're still deciding between styles, our infrared vs traditional comparison sets them side by side. Infrared panels draw less power than stoves, and our operating cost calculator shows what each costs to run.

Questions buyers ask

What is the best infrared sauna for home?

It depends on your space and wiring. The order above follows our published method, but the best match for you depends on your room, your outlet and your budget. Find My Sauna ranks them for your answers.

Do infrared saunas need 240V?

Most don't. 53 of the 56 infrared saunas we list run on 120V. The rest, mostly four-seaters and outdoor models, need a 240V or 30A circuit.

How hot do infrared saunas get?

The infrared saunas we list publish maximum temperatures from 140 to 170°F. Infrared heats your body directly, so the air stays cooler than in a traditional sauna.

Is full spectrum better than far infrared?

We can't say one is better. Full spectrum adds near- and mid-infrared emitters, and makers describe benefits we don't evaluate. Compare price, size, wiring and warranty instead.
