Saunas are a great way to relax, beat the cold, in some cases loose some weight. Portable saunas have become increasingly popular with people that want to spend some time ?sweating it out?. A portable sauna is designed to take up minimal space, and allow a person to enjoy all the benefits of a sauna without having to spend lots of money in setting up a sauna room. Portable saunas are not just cheaper than Finnish saunas; they also consume much less energy when compared to traditional saunas.



A portable sauna is designed for a single user and consists of folding chair and a collapsible canopy. The canopy is designed to be air tight and can be stored away easily. The typical setup of a portable sauna includes a person sitting inside the canopy on the portable chair, the head of the person remains outside the canopy at all times, in some saunas the arms also remain outside the sauna (to allow operation of digital controls). The canopy can be zipped up to make it air tight, the best part is that it does not require more than one person to setup a portable sauna.

Based on a user's preference, portable saunas are available in two main varieties. The first type of portable saunas use a steam device that pumps steam into the canopy, the temperature regulation is not as precise as infrared saunas; in essence it is not possible to regulate the temperature as accurately as an infrared sauna. Just like a conventional sauna the body receives heat through steam and a person can enjoy all the benefits of a traditional steam sauna. Portable steam saunas are immensely popular with people that love steam saunas, but cannot afford a full fledged steam sauna.

Apart from portable steam saunas, portable infrared saunas are also available in the market today. A portable infrared sauna is similar to a portable steam sauna in design, but instead of a steam machine, a portable infrared sauna uses far infrared carbon fibre heating panels. Advanced portable infrared saunas also have a negative ion generator that is designed to control the air around the head. Portable infrared saunas usually have a place for the arms go through so a person can control the temperature using a digital control device that is placed on the outside of the sauna. Portable infrared saunas are becoming increasingly popular as they allow people to regulate the temperature to the exact degree of their choice, something that is not possible in steam saunas.

Most portable infrared saunas also come with a foot massager and folding chair, so all a person really needs to do is plug in the infrared sauna and its ready to use. Saunas have been used by people all over the world as a means to relax and detoxify their bodies. Portable saunas have now made it possible for people from all walks of life to afford their very own saunas, without having to spend thousands of dollars. In addition, portable saunas are also a more cost effective means of enjoying the positive effects of a sauna.
