Which sauna should you choose?

Having your own sauna is a luxury many people dream of. But with all the different types of sauna available on the market, how do you know which one to choose? In this blog post, we go through the most popular sauna types and what you should consider when choosing a sauna.

Different types of saunas

Depending on your needs, there are different types of saunas to choose from. Here is a brief overview.

Traditional saunas

Traditional saunas, also known as Finnish saunas, are heated with a sauna heater.

Advantages: They create an intense and dry heat, which many appreciate.

Disadvantages: They may take longer to heat up compared to other types and use more energy.

Sauna heater: As for which sauna heater is best, it varies depending on your individual needs. But in general, the most reliable units are those that have built-in stainless elements and digital controllers.

Steam sauna

Steam saunas, or steam baths, have a lower temperature than traditional saunas, but a much higher humidity.

Benefits: They are excellent for skin care and respiratory problems.

Cons: Some people may have difficulty breathing in humid air.

Infrared sauna

Infrared saunas use infrared heaters to heat the body directly instead of heating the air.

Advantages: Fast heating time, lower energy consumption and easier to install.

Cons: They don't offer the traditional sauna experience and some may find the heat not as intense.

When buying an infrared sauna, consider the quality of the heating elements and wood panels, as well as the size of the cabin for your needs.

Portable sauna ( Sauna tent )

Portable saunas, such as sauna tents, are flexible solutions for those who do not have space for a built-in sauna or want a more economical solution.

Advantages: Portable, affordable, does not require planning permission and easy to install.

Disadvantages: Can't offer the same luxurious feeling as a built-in sauna.

To consider location and space

When planning your sauna, you should think about how much space you have. It is also important to ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and a proper electrical connection.

Buying a used sauna - What should you consider?

When buying a used sauna, you should check the condition of the sauna carefully. Make sure there are no signs of mold or damage. Remember that even used saunas must have an efficient ventilation system.

Do you need to inspect your sauna?

In most cases, you do not need to inspect your sauna, but it is important to always follow local building codes and safety regulations.

The advantages of sauna tents

Sauna tents are an excellent solution for those who want a sauna without having to build one. They are easy to put up and take down, and they can be used almost anywhere.

Security aspects to consider

Regardless of the type of sauna you choose, it is important to think about safety. Make sure the sauna has proper ventilation and that you have enough fresh air.

Conclusion

Choosing the right sauna is about understanding your needs and preferences. Whether you prefer a traditional sauna, a steam sauna, an infrared sauna or a sauna tent, there is an option for you.

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.
