Which Sauna Tent is the best?


How to Find the Right Sauna Tent for You

Which sauna tent is best depends on what you want to get out of the sauna. Is it the heat, the community, or the flexibility that matters most to you? In this guide, we’ll go through what sets different tents apart and what you should consider before making your choice.


What Makes a Sauna Tent Good?

When we at Bast Sauna talk to customers, we often hear the same thing: the heat, the feeling, and the simplicity matter more than anything else. Here are the factors that determine whether a sauna tent will be a success or a disappointment:

  • Heat and Heating Time – A good sauna tent should get really hot, quickly. The temperature should be able to reach 90–100 °C without issues, even in freezing conditions.

  • Size and Capacity – Will you sauna alone, with your family, or with a group of friends? Näver for 3–6 people gives an intimate feel, while a larger one for 8–10 people makes the sauna a social gathering spot.

  • Material and Durability – A sauna tent should feel safe in both cold and windy weather. That’s why we use strong Oxford fabric with storm lines and heat-reflective inner lining that keeps the heat in. Combined with a stainless-steel (SS304) stove with 1.8 mm wall thickness and an upgraded stone basket for more even heat, you get a solution built to withstand Nordic conditions year after year.

  • User-Friendliness – A good sauna tent should be easy to set up and take down. It should feel like a natural part of outdoor life, not a construction project.


What Should You Consider Before Buying?

Ask yourself a few simple questions before you decide:

  1. Where will you use the tent?
    Mountains, forest, dock, or garden? The environment determines the size, weight, and how you anchor it.

  2. How many people will sauna at the same time?
    Mostly just you and a friend, or do you want to be able to invite larger groups?

  3. How often do you want to sauna?
    If you sauna often, it’s worth investing in a tent made of robust material with a stove that can withstand frequent use – year after year.

  4. What feeling are you looking for?
    The most requested qualities are flexibility, simplicity, and quality. That’s exactly why we developed our sauna tents: to be easy to assemble, provide reliable heat, and last for many years.


Why Bast Sauna?

We started Bast Sauna because we ourselves missed the combination of authentic sauna culture and the freedom of a portable tent. That’s why we develop tents that:

  • reach over 100 °C even in winter cold

  • are tested in harsh Nordic conditions

  • come in sizes that fit both small groups and large gatherings

  • can be set up in just a few minutes without hassle

  • are developed together with sauna enthusiasts who use them every week, year-round

We don’t promise “the world’s best” in big letters. We promise to keep improving – so the tent lasts longer, feels better, and delivers that authentic experience.


A Sauna Tent Is About More Than Just the Tent

The best sauna tent isn’t just a product – it’s a place for connection. Our customers say the tent has become a gathering point, a new ritual for the family, and a breathing space in everyday life – a natural pause where you can exhale and ground yourself.


So, Which Sauna Tent Is Best?

The short answer: the one that suits you and your life best.

  • Curious Beginner? Choose a small/medium tent that fits you and a few friends – easy to use, easy to love.

  • Experienced Sauna User? Then Björk Premium is the right choice – our largest tent with a powerful stove and sturdy benches that give you classic steam and space for long sessions.

  • Want Flexibility? All our sauna tents are portable and work just as well in the garden, on the terrace, or by the lake – year-round.

The most important thing isn’t always the price or the size, but that you actually use the tent. The best sauna is the one that becomes a natural part of your life – where you can relax, share a moment, and feel the warmth.


Conclusion

The answer to which model is best varies – but what we see among our customers is that the best tent is the one that gets used the most. A tent that turns sauna time into a habit and a shared place. Our models are tested in Nordic conditions, built to last, and designed to make you sauna more.

Heat between the sessions

After each surf session, they gathered in our Sauna Tent. It became a place to regain warmth, rest their muscles, and talk through what they had just experienced. Maybe even reflect on why they truly chase those perfect waves.

And for us, that's exactly what the sauna is all about. Not just heat – but the rhythm of recovery, performance, and community. A place to land.

That our Sauna Tent got to be part of such a journey – together with some of the world's most dedicated surfers – is something we are incredibly proud of.

Who are they?

Freddie Meadows

is Sweden's most experienced professional surfer. After ten years on the competition scene, he chose to follow his heart and start exploring Scandinavian coastlines – with the goal of finding world-class waves in our northern waters.

Nic von Rupp

Hailing from Portugal, he is known for surfing some of the biggest waves ever at Nazaré. He is a multiple championship winner, documentary filmmaker, and has twice been nominated for the World Surf League's "Big Wave Performance of the Year."

Andrew Cotton

Born in the United Kingdom, he is a pioneer of Big Wave Surfing in Europe. He has towed surfing legends into record-breaking waves, gained global recognition, and pushed the boundaries of what British surfing can be – while balancing his career with life as a parent of young children.

Sauna + surf = an obvious combination

There is something special about the contrast between cold and heat, performance and stillness. The chaos of the waves meets the calm of the tent. And for those who surf in Arctic conditions, the sauna is not a luxury – it is a necessity.

Where will the next wave happen? We don’t know. And we’re not supposed to know. But one thing is certain: our Sauna Tent will be there.
