Which sauna unit should you choose? A guide to the right choice

When it comes to saunas, the choice of sauna heater is crucial to creating a comfortable and efficient sauna experience. But with so many options available, it can be difficult to know which one is best for you. In this blog post we will explore some important factors to consider when choosing your sauna heater.

Which sauna unit is best?

There are several types of sauna heaters to choose from, including electric sauna heaters, wood-burning sauna heaters and infrared sauna heaters. The choice depends on your preferences and needs:

  • Electric sauna units: These are easy to use and quick to heat up the sauna. They are also energy efficient and require no preparation.
  • Wood-burning sauna units: These provide a more traditional sauna experience with a nice fire. They take longer to heat up and require more work, but many prefer the authentic feel.
  • Infrared sauna units: These use infrared radiation to heat the body directly. They are fast and energy efficient, but provide a different sauna experience than traditional sauna units.

Can you have too big a sauna unit?

It is important to choose the right size sauna unit for your sauna. A unit that is too large can overheat and be dangerous. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations and make sure the sauna unit is sized for the size of your sauna.

How much electricity does a sauna unit use?

Electric sauna units vary in power and thus in energy consumption. A typical electric sauna usually draws between 3 kW and 9 kW per hour. Your electricity cost depends on your electricity price per kWh and how long you use the sauna. Keep in mind that a powerful sauna heater heats up the sauna faster, which can reduce your usage time and thus your electricity bill.

Do you have to have stones in sauna units?

Yes, stones are an important part of a traditional sauna unit. The stones accumulate heat and spread steam when you pour water on them, which raises the humidity and creates a pleasant sauna environment. Using the right type of sauna is important for an efficient sauna. Saunas come in different shapes, sizes and materials, and you should follow the manufacturer's recommendations.

In summary, the choice of sauna heater is an important decision point when you build or upgrade your sauna. Your choice will affect your sauna experience and energy consumption. Consider your preferences, the size of the sauna and your budget when making your choice. And don't forget to follow the safety regulations and the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure a safe and enjoyable sauna experience.

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.
