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.

 

But here's the thing: While saunas can bring you many health benefits, they come with many downsides as well.

From hefty price tags to space constraints, here are 5 reasons why you should reconsider installing a sauna at home.

1

Saunas take up

too much room 📐

If you live in a smaller apartment that is under 1500 square feet, there really isn't too much space to install a sauna. Saunas can take up anywhere from 30-100 square feet of floor space, making it unattainable for residents of big cities who live in smaller homes.

Saunas cost

a bomb 💰

Saunas are one of the best things that one can use to enhance their longevity and healthspan, with its multi-purpose health benefits. However, they may cost up to $10000, making it a luxury expense for the majority of people.

Saunas are a pain

to setup and maintain 🥵

Saunas are huge - and they usually require external assistance for setting them up the right way. Not only that, cleaning the saunas and maintaining them can take up lots of time and money.

Saunas may

damage your hair 😭

The high temperatures in a sauna can strip your hair of its natural moisture, leading to dryness, brittleness and potential breakage. The heat can irritate your scalp and may even make your hair more susceptible to damage.

Saunas take a long

time to heat up ⏳

Regular Finnish saunas may take between 30-60 minutes to fully heat up. If you're in a hurry and forget to turn the sauna on in advance, you're going to be wasting lots of time. Not only that, it consumes a ton of energy, which will quickly rack up your electricity bill.

While the perks of sauna use are undeniable, you don't have to deal with the hassle and costs of installing one at home. 

Fortunately for you, there is a much more accessible option. One that shares the same benefits as a traditional sauna, without all the downsides.

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.

  • Heats up quickly - It takes about 5-10 minutes for the HeatPod to reach full temperature. You can enter immediately and let it gradually heat up.
