Infrared Saunas Portable

Portable models take up less space and cost thousands of dollars less than installing or building a sauna room in your home or office.

Portable models admit one person at a time, requiring nothing but a wall outlet to power them. The user is able to program the desired time and temperature settings into a control panel somewhere on the unit. The inside of the sauna is outfitted with thin, flat carbon sheets. These sheets emit infrared radiation. In contrast to traditional steam saunas which heat up the air, infrared saunas remain simply warm and safe to the touch even during use. The heating element should ideally be close to the body for even and deep-penetrating heat, which makes portable saunas absolutely ideal.



There are several types of portable infrared saunas. Bags, blankets, or domes lie on the floor, a bed, or a massage table. They completely cover the user's body from the neck down, but leave their head exposed to the fresh air outside the sauna. Bags and blankets can fold or roll up like a sleeping bag or comforter, making them highly portable and convenient to store. Domes are rigid plastic and do not fold, but they can be stood up vertically and stored in a closet or corner between uses.

Cabinets are another type of portable infrared sauna model. The cabinets are a large plastic box with a hole at the top for the user's head, which is exposed to the open air outside the sauna. The user enters the sauna through a hinged door and sitting in a chair inside the box. Advantages of the cabinet model is that it usually has a fan inside for improved air circulation, the non-porous exterior wipes down quickly and is easy to sanitize, and it easily wheels from place to place. Disadvantages include the size of the sauna, because it is the largest of the portable models.

Foldable boxes are the last type of portable infrared sauna on the market. When in use it looks very similar to a cabinet model, except for that some models also have zippered openings to have the hands free during use. When you've finished using a foldable box model, it folds up to an incredibly small size. Most models look much like a handled briefcase when they are broken down. The chair inside this sauna is the collapsible kind, and the walls of the sauna are made of flexible, insulated materials that are easy to fold.
