Saunas, Spas, Steam Showers: What Health Benefits?

This sauna checked all the boxes I needed - got hotter than 150°, only used 120v, full spectrum and fit into the space I had in an unheated shed, so the insulated construction was an extra big plus. Using it several times a week and it'll been great. Just sorry that it's now October and my pool is closed. Really liked the post-sauna plunge.
And I should mention that I attempted to purchase this from some of the larger "highly rated" dealers first before I found Solaci. They were uniformly unhelpful with delivery. Just drop it on the curb and if it my problem to get it up the quarter mile driveway. "Oh, you want it delivered next to your house? Then pay extra for "white glove" service." No thank you.
Solaci was a dream to work with. Esther found a shipper who delivered it and rolled the pallet into my garage. And wait! There's more! Delivery was free. No sales tax. And the price was better than the big dealers. I highly recommend Solaci. If they have the sauna you want, don't go anywhere else.

We Chose the 6-person, great call. We really enjoy it

We purchased our SaunaLife sauna through Solaci Home and had a very good experience overall. The ordering and delivery process went smoothly, and Solaci Home was very quick to respond whenever we had questions about parts or the installation.

A friend and I handled the installation ourselves. It is definitely a two-person project, but the sauna was well designed and the assembly process was straightforward. The quality of the materials and the finished product are excellent, and we’re very happy with how it turned out.

The electrical portion required a licensed electrician, and he had a few technical questions regarding the Harvia heater and controls. Harvia was able to provide prompt technical assistance, which helped keep the project moving.

We’ve been very pleased with the SaunaLife sauna and with our experience purchasing it through Solaci Home. I would definitely recommend both to anyone considering an outdoor sauna.

Tucked the SaunaLife CL5G right into my wooded backyard, and it looks like part of the landscape. The sauna’s modern, curved design is a great contrast to the surrounding natural setting. A good sweat session overlooking the woods just sets me straight – more alert in the mornings, no groggy starts. It handles rain, wind, and winter snow without any problems, keeping things comfortable even on cold days. Plus, that wide glass pulls in the outdoors vibe. Exactly what I was hoping for! Also great CS team, would definitely recommend going with them!

The Luna sauna is incredible!!! The team at Solaci Home really made the buying experience super smooth. They were so helpful with our questions about the wiring and delivery logistics. Just excellent customer help all around! I recommend them to all our family and friends; they made what could have been a difficult purchase completely stress-free.

Pushing 66 now and retired from trucking, I've got these nagging joint pains from all those years on the road. Heard about infrared saunas from my doc and figured I'd give the Finnmark FD-2 a shot. The folks at Solaci Home were helpful with my questions before I ordered. Shipped fast, and setup wasn't too bad – took me and my neighbor about an hour and a half. This thing cranks up to 170°F no problem, and those full-spectrum heaters really get in deep. I do 20-30 minutes most evenings, and it's cut down on my arthritis flare-ups like you wouldn't believe. Sleep better too – no more tossing and turning half the night. The two-person size fits me and the missus fine when she joins, and I love the cedar scent; reminds me of the old cabin we had up north. Controls are straightforward, even for a guy who barely touches a computer. Bluetooth hooks up easy for my country radio station. Built like a tank and looks sharp in the garage. If you're dealing with aches like I was, this is money well spent. Thumbs up all around!

Honestly I was worried about putting a big wooden box in the middle of the garden. I didn't want it to look like an ugly tool shed. But as you can see, it turned out beautiful! It actually adds to the yard. We put down some stepping stones to make a path and it feels like a mini spa resort now. My husband put it together over a weekend—he said it wasn't too bad, just lots of pieces. We use it 3-4 times a week after work. It’s the only time I get 20 mins of actual quiet away from the kids lol. Love it.

I needed something for the narrow space on the side of our house and this was pretty much the only option that had the right dimensions without feeling cramped inside. It is tight against the brick but really maximizes the area. We use it a few times a week now. Definitely a solid investment.

I honestly don't write reviews often, but the experience with this company was just outstanding. I was pretty nervous dropping this much money on a sauna online, but the support team was incredibly patient with all my questions. We got this set up at our property up north and getting the model with the changing room was the best decision. When it's cold outside, having that separate enclosed space to towel off and get dressed before stepping out is a total game changer. You don't have to freeze on the run back to the house. Solid build, very functional for a rustic setting. You are in good hands here.

We installed the Georgian cabin last year and it has held up beautifully. Sharing a pic from last winter to show it in its element! The timber is rock solid and hasn't warped at all. We just fired it up again for the new season and it holds the heat perfectly at 190°F even when it's freezing out. The porch is great for keeping wood dry too. Best purchase we made for our mountain home, can't wait to use it all season again.

I’m 61, still work full-time in construction management, and have dealt with lower back pain and poor sleep for years. After three weeks with the Finnmark FD-4, the difference is night and day.
The full-spectrum infrared penetrates deep – my back and knees feel looser after every session. The Harvia steam gives me that authentic Finnish heat I remember from trips to Scandinavia. But the real surprise is the chromotherapy lighting. The deep purple mode (see photo) drops my heart rate almost instantly – I fall asleep faster and stay asleep.
Heat-up is fast, the Wi-Fi app is dead simple (I control it from my phone while watching the game), and the Canadian cedar smells incredible. My wife uses it too, but this is honestly my sanctuary now. Assembly took me and my son 2 hours flat – every piece fit perfectly.
If you’re a man in your late 50s or 60s wondering if it’s worth it… it is. This isn’t a luxury. It’s preventative medicine that actually works. Solaci Home delivered on time and their team answered every question I had. Zero regrets – only wish I’d bought it sooner.

My wife and I purchased the SaunaLife CL5G kit with the Harvia Spirit 8kW heater during the Black Friday sale last year. After several months of regular use here in the Boston area, I wanted to share our experience.
The design is modern and attractive in the backyard (photo attached). My wife particularly loves how cute and unique it looks. The Thermo-Spruce has held up beautifully through winter and spring. The heater performs very well, it reaches 190-200°F consistently. The benches are comfortable and the full glass front gives a spacious feel.
I’m glad we chose crushed stone instead of a concrete pad. There were a few installation details that required extra attention for our climate. The provided roofing shingles work, but I ultimately installed a rubber membrane for better snow and ice resistance, the manufacturer confirmed this does not affect the warranty. The Xenio control unit and cabling are not fully outdoor-rated, so I extended with proper cable and mounted the unit indoors nearby, which has worked perfectly.
Solaci Home’s customer service (particularly Esther) was outstanding throughout, they were responsive, helpful, and they quickly clarified everything with the manufacturer. Assembly with a contractor friend went smoothly once those details were sorted.
We use it several times a week now and it’s made a noticeable difference in how relaxed and recovered we feel day to day. Highly recommend the CL5G for anyone looking for a high-quality outdoor sauna.

I shopped around a lot for outdoor saunas and landed on the SaunaLife CL4G. It’s turned out even better than I expected. The Thermo-Spruce looks great and holds heat incredibly well, even when it’s raining cats and dogs outside. Stays completely dry inside, no condensation issues like my old barrel sauna.
The Drop 7.5kW heater packs a serious punch. I run it at 190-200°F most evenings and the steam is thick and authentic. Benches are contoured just right, backrest curved perfectly so you can really relax. Full glass front makes it feel spacious. LED lighting is subtle and effective, WiFi control works great from the phone.
My son-in-law and I put it together in one Saturday. Everything lined up no problem, instructions were solid, no missing parts.
Solaci Home shipped it quick, crate arrived in great shape, and they handled my questions about the electrical fast. Been using it almost every night for two months. Back feels better, sleep is deeper, just does the job. Worth the investment no doubt. If you’re thinking about it, go for it.

Seriously, worth every single penny. I was nervous about the price and the assembly, but the CL7G is incredible. Putting it together took two of us about 6-7 hours, not bad at all—way easier than I thought it would be. The quality is amazing and it looks super modern. The heater is super fast too! We use it almost every day, it's just the best way to de-stress. Shout out to Solaci Home too, they delivered it fast and the support team was helpful when I had a question. If you’re thinking about it, just do it!

I’m glad I did some research and chose this brand and retailer. Shipping was pretty quick, arrived without any damage, and putting it together was straight-forward. Very happy with the purchase.
