Sauna accessories

A short list of things sauna owners actually use, from three brands. None of it is needed to enjoy a sauna. A towel and a glass of water cover the basics.

How this page works: accessories aren't scored or ranked, and no brand paid to be here. Links may be affiliate links, so Cedar Scout may earn a commission if you buy. We don't show prices here because they change often; the brand's page has the current price. Checked 2 Nov 2026.

Away from your sauna

For travel, or the months before your sauna arrives.

A glass bottle with time markings, a simple way to keep track of how much you drink around a session.

A sauna blanket or massage gun isn't a substitute for medical advice. If you have a heart condition, are pregnant, or take medication that affects heat tolerance, ask your doctor before using heat therapy.
