There’s nothing quite like the rejuvenating warmth and therapeutic peace of a good sauna session. For some, it can be a weekly wellness ritual, a well-deserved treat for a workout done well, or the perfect emotional reset button after a long, stressful day.
So we totally get it—some days, your sauna time is an absolute self-care necessity.
But here’s the thing: unless the sauna spot you frequent has got its game down to a T, that zen moment you’ve been dreaming of all afternoon can turn into total disappointment the second you step through the door.
From limited time slots to rooms with questionable hygiene (and prices), here are 5 reasons why you should swear off those communal sweat boxes.

A nesting ground for
the nasties 🤢
With all that heat and humidity mixed with a parade of sweaty bodies, commercial saunas can get real gross, real quick. The seats, walls, floors, towels—they can all turn into little hotbeds for bacteria, viruses, and fungi if not sanitized on a regular basis.
Best case? You end up with a slightly itchy rash on your thighs. The worst? Well, let’s not even go there.
A wellness waiting game 😑
Most saunas require you to stick to their schedule, not yours. Whether you’re trying to squeeze in a quick session before work or unwind after a long day, fitting their available slots into your busy life can be such a hassle.
Plus, making the trip to and from the facility can turn what should be a relaxing experience into yet another chore on your to-do list.

Sweats your savings away 💰
Using commercial saunas can quickly become a pricey habit. With entry fees, membership costs, not to mention what you spend on travel, gas, and parking for each visit, the expenses can quickly pile up.
Over time, these costs might even outweigh the benefits, making it a less practical choice for regular pampering sessions.
One temperature
doesn’t fit all 🥵
Finding the heat too intense? Or perhaps not quite toasty enough for your liking? Tough luck. Unless you’ve got the whole room to yourself, making adjustments might garner you some annoyed stares from your fellow sauna girlies.
Tailoring your sauna experience is half the battle—to truly enjoy the full benefits of your sweat session, it’s all about catering to your body’s needs. While a diehard sauna enthusiast might find a 180°F room just perfect, it could leave you gasping for oxygen and force you to cut your stay short.

There are better options out there 😮
While the perks of sauna use are undeniable, you don't have to put up with the hassles of a commercial sauna. Luckily, there are other options that can give you the same amazing benefits as a traditional sauna, minus all the downsides.
These can range from something as elaborate as retrofitting your place with a private sauna room, to something as simple and chic as a sauna blanket that can be tucked away in your closet.
And while all these at-home options can serve as cleaner, customizable, and overall better alternatives to commercial saunas, choosing which one to get will ultimately depend on your personal needs and budge
INTRODUCING
The HeatPod Sauna Blanket
A new way to sweat, without breaking a sweat
Why choose the HeatPod
over other in-home sauna alternatives?
-
Cheaper - The HeatPod is only <10% of the cost of having a sauna cabin installed in your home
(USD 599 vs USD 5,000-10,000)
-
Compact - At only 75”x35” when in use, it’s smaller than the tiniest sauna cabins – perfect for condos and apartments.
-
Low maintenance - All you need to do after every HeatPod session is wipe it down and store it away. In-home saunas may require significant cleaning and maintenance.
-
Portable - The HeatPod can easily be kept away in a small storage bag (43 cm X 46 cm / 17" X 18"). You can use it on any space in your home or other places, unlike home saunas that are fixed and requires installation.
