Introducing SaunaLife
SaunaLife is a brand known for its Scandinavian-inspired saunas. At its core, SaunaLife is dedicated to making high-quality, cost-effective saunas so everyone can enjoy relaxing and rejuvenating sessions without burning a hole in their pocket.
Currently, SaunaLife boasts an impressive lineup of modular indoor and fully assembled outdoor sauna models.
-
Indoor Models: Designed for minimalism enthusiasts, the indoor saunas have sleek lines and a modern color palette that can blend seamlessly into your home decor. These units are compact enough to fit in various spaces, including a bathroom, bedroom, or personal gym, provided there's sufficient ventilation and a dedicated power supply system.
-
Outdoor Models: The fully assembled outdoor models are built to withstand harsh weather conditions, making them perfect for any outdoor setting. These saunas incorporate features that help improve your circulation, detoxify your body, and reduce stress while relaxing you to your core.
What sets SaunaLife apart is the innovative use of thermally modified wood in all our saunas. This material choice guarantees structural stability, reduces the risk of warping or cracking, and highlights the brand's commitment to sustainability. Plus, these saunas are available in different designs, including barrel shape, cabin style, and POD style, so you can easily choose one that complements your setting.
Besides the standout sauna models, SaunaLife also offers various essential items like a bucket and ladle to recreate the traditional Finnish practice of 'löyly' (throwing water on hot stones for steam), mood lighting to create ambiance, comfy headrests, and floor kits for practicality.
If you want to add something more therapeutic to your wellness journey, check out the brand's hot tubs that offer hydrotherapy benefits or opt for a barrel steam shower to end your sweat session on a steamy yet relaxing note.
Factors To Consider When Choosing a SaunaLife Sauna
When choosing a SaunaLife sauna, consider the following factors:
Wood Quality
The wood used in an infrared or traditional sauna is not just about aesthetics; it also shows durability and longevity. From spruce to furniture-grade alder, SaunaLife saunas are crafted from different timbers. Some models are even constructed with thermally modified wood, which adds to their structural integrity.
Ideally, you should get a sauna that resists insects and decay without affecting heat insulation. It should also have thick stainless steel bands so it stands sturdy and unshaken through steamy sessions and silent, snowy nights.
Weather Resistance
When opting for a SaunaLife outdoor sauna, weather resistance is key! Be sure your sauna is robust enough to withstand different climate conditions, be it the biting cold of winter or the scorching heat of summer.
SaunaLife saunas come with a black shingle roof kit with a drip edge for effective rain management and floor drains for water elimination.
Heater
Before buying, you should also examine the heater. While SaunaLife saunas come with a traditional heater, the quality and power rating can make or break your experience.
For instance, an underpowered heater might leave you shivering, while an overpowered may be overwhelming. To strike the perfect balance, consider the volume of your sauna and select a heater power rating that efficiently warms the room without being too mild or too intense.
Beyond the power conversation, make sure it comes with a heater guard. This essential safety feature protects users from accidental contact with the heater's hot surface, making your sauna experience both enjoyable and safe.
Size
The size of the sauna should be one of your key considerations. A critical decision-making point is the number of users you foresee — is this a solo endeavor, designated for a duo, or intended to be a zone for group relaxation?
Thankfully, SaunaLife offers various sizes and available spaces to accommodate different user needs, so you can easily choose one that fits your needs.
Comfort Features
Now, let's talk about benches and backrests because sitting on a wooden slab that feels like a medieval torture device totally defeats the purpose of a sauna, doesn't it? While SaunaLife's ergonomic bench configurations and arched backrest offer superior lumbar support, you should also focus on other comfort features.
It should have a spacious interior with extra headroom. You should also consider the door height and width so you don't have to duck when entering and exiting the sauna. If you plan on using a sauna for chromotherapy, make sure it has a Wi-Fi-controlled lighting system so you can adjust the lights with a few clicks.
Installation
The process of installing a sauna in your home can seem daunting, but it doesn't have to be. Available in modular and fully assembled variants, SaunaLife saunas have been designed for ease of assembly, regardless of whether you're a fanatic do-it-yourselfer or prefer assistance from a professional.

SaunaLife Sauna Maintenance Tips
With constant usage, your sauna may start to show signs of wear and tear, including odors, moisture damage, and inefficiencies in heating.
To keep it functioning at its best and prolong its lifespan, follow these tips:
-
Before the sauna heats up, sweep the floor to remove debris or hair.
-
After each use, wipe down the benches and walls with a damp cloth to remove any sweat or moisture. Also, leave the door slightly open for a few minutes to let it dry out naturally. This helps prevent mold and mildew, keeping your sauna fresh for the next use.
-
SaunaLife saunas come with tempered glass doors and windows. Keep them sparkling with a streak-free glass cleaner for a spotless view.
-
Apply paraffin oil and sauna wax to the wood surfaces every six months to repel moisture and enhance the wood's natural beauty.
-
Avoid using harsh detergent to clean sauna benches. If you use any cleaning product, rinse it thoroughly with water. Soap residue can become sticky or slippery, which is definitely not what you want on your sauna floors.
-
Make it a habit to visually inspect all other sauna parts for any signs of wear or damage, especially after cleaning. Early detection of issues like loose boards, joints, or malfunctioning heaters can save you from bigger repairs down the line.
