5-Person Saunas — Frequently Asked Questions

Which heat system should I pick—far-IR, full-spectrum, or traditional?
Far-IR = gentle, deep warmth; Full-spectrum = near/mid/far for a broader profile; Traditional = rock heater with steam pours. Pick the feel that matches your routine and space.
Typical footprint for 5-person models?
Often ~6×6 to 7×6.5 ft with 78–86″ height. Confirm door swing, bench depth, and delivery path in advance.
Electrical requirements?
Larger IR/full-spectrum cabins can require 240V dedicated circuits. Traditional heaters are frequently 240V as well. Always follow product specs and consult a licensed electrician.
Can 5-person saunas be used by fewer people comfortably?
Absolutely—extra width/depth improves comfort for two users and provides room to stretch.
Indoor vs. outdoor?
Choose outdoor-rated models for backyard use (weather-resistant materials, roofing, proper base). Keep indoor units in dry, climate-controlled rooms.
Can I pour water on stones?
Only on traditional rock-heater units. Use clean water and follow the heater manual; don’t add oils directly to stones.
Session length guidance?
Many start with 20–30 minutes, 3–5 times/week. Hydrate and adjust temperature/duration to comfort.
What if I’m sensitive to heat?
Pick zone-controlled models, begin at lower temps, and increase gradually. Good airflow aids comfort.
Maintenance basics?
Wipe benches/panels after use, vent to dry, clean glass periodically, and avoid harsh chemicals.
Warranty expectations?
Coverage varies by brand and component (heaters/panels, electronics, cabinetry). See individual product pages.

Buying Guide: Choosing a 5-Person Sauna

Step 1 — Heat System

  • Far-IR: Gentle, deep warmth for daily recovery.
  • Full-Spectrum: Near/Mid/Far IR for broader heat feel and flexibility.
  • Traditional: Rock heater (löyly) with steam pours; indoor/outdoor variants.

Step 2 — Comfort & Materials

  • Seating: Bench width/depth, backrests, foot heaters, and headroom for tall users.
  • Cabinet: Cedar, hemlock, spruce, or thermo-treated woods; tempered glass.
  • Controls: Interior/exterior panels, presets, zone control, lighting/audio.

Step 3 — Fit, Power & Location

  • Footprint: Measure width × depth × height; plan door swing and path.
  • Electrical: Verify voltage/amperage and plug type; use a dedicated circuit.
  • Indoor vs. Outdoor: Use outdoor-rated builds for backyard installs; prepare a proper base.

Tip: For mixed preferences, choose models with adjustable zones so each user can fine-tune intensity.
