Indoor Infrared Saunas
Fitness pros are obsessed.
“My Rylan Sauna from Backyard Discovery is hands down the best thing I’ve added to my wellness routine. The infrared heat, red light therapy, and Bluetooth speakers all come built in — no upgrades needed. It heats up super fast, the cedar holds the heat so well, and I literally just plugged it in myself. Obsessed.”

Backyard Discovery Saunas
The Complete Guide to At-Home Saunas & Sauna Kits
A home sauna turns wellness into a daily habit — no membership, no drive, no waiting for an open bench. Whether you want the deep, radiant warmth of an infrared sauna or the steam-rich heat of a traditional Finnish sauna, today’s at-home sauna kits make installation simple and ownership affordable. Our collection covers indoor saunas, outdoor saunas, barrel saunas, and portable saunas built for every space, budget, and household, with capacities ranging from compact 1-person and 2-person models to larger 4-person and 6-person designs in natural Cedar.
Infrared saunas use infrared heaters to warm your body directly rather than the air around you, running at lower temperatures (typically 120–150°F) that make longer sessions comfortable.
Traditional saunas — also called Finnish saunas, dry saunas, or steam saunas — use an electric or wood-burning heater to warm rocks (although our traditional saunas are electric for safety and ease-of-use), and pouring water over the stones creates löyly, the signature burst of steam that defines the classic high-heat sauna experience at 150–195°F.
Regular sauna use has been studied for muscle recovery, cardiovascular health, improved circulation, stress reduction, and better sleep. Pre-fab home sauna kits typically assemble in 2–4 hours with two people and basic tools, putting daily heat therapy within reach of nearly any home — the best sauna, after all, is the one you’ll actually use.
