Weight loss, stress relief, improved circulation and heart function, as well as skin improvement and the elimination of harmful toxins, are just a few of the benefits you'll experience.
Make the right choice
Portable saunas come in two basic styles:
- Folding saunas - This type of sauna embodies the true meaning of portability. They are made from a variety of lightweight, flexible materials that unfold to form a tent-like structure that zips closed around a single person. Many of these models feature openings for the head and arms that allow users to read, listen to music, or watch television. Some are constructed for sitting, while others are designed for horizontal positioning. They require ordinary 110V power supply, and when not in use, can be folded into a compact shape for convenient moving or storage.
- Pre-built saunas- Although also referred to as portable saunas, pre-built units are portable only in the sense that they may be moved. Doing so, however, requires greater effort than with fold-up designs. Pre-built saunas come in a wide array of shapes and sizes, but are generally designed for one or two people. These models more closely resemble traditional wooden saunas and come complete with benches and other accessories. Some pre-built designs include various plastic, polycarbonate, and composite materials. Assembly is quick and easy, and most models can be completed in less than an hour. Like folding saunas, pre-built saunas can be plugged into standard 110V outlets.
(FIR) Far infrared heat vs steam heat
When deciding which type of heat you want in your portable sauna you'll want to understand the difference between the two most common types. FIR (far infrared), unlike conventional sauna heat sources, heats solid objects without heating the surrounding air. By penetrating and warming body tissues, FIR can stimulate sweating and other beneficial body functions without the need for high-temperature heating elements. This makes FIR especially well-suited for lightweight folding saunas.Steam heat is the other common method. Unlike traditional steam saunas, portable steam spas require no special plumbing. Just fill with water and plug into any standard outlet. Many pre-built designs allow for FIR, steam, or traditional dry heat. Whether you choose FIR or steam heat for your folding or pre-built portable sauna, you'll soon experience the health benefits already enjoyed by millions.
