In the wellness sphere, if you’re not talking about cold plunges, you’re talking about saunas. The dry saunas you’ve probably come across in gyms and spas originated in Finland centuries ago (“sauna” is actually a Finnish word), and they’ve been a staple of other cultures for just as long. They’re also no longer exclusive to expensive wellness clubs: A host of companies are offering a variety of sauna solutions designed to get you sweating from the comfort of home.
With a slew of health benefits, sauna is an exceptional addition to your wellness routine and there have never been more options to have access to one at home. We put together a non-exhaustive list of a few of our favorite picks across a variety of price points, heating methods, and needs.
The Best Home Saunas, According to GQ
Best Indoor Home Sauna: Sun Home Eclipse 2-Person Red Light and Infrared Sauna
When looking to invest in the best indoor home sauna, it would be difficult to find a better option than the Sun Home Eclipse. The Eclipse is a full spectrum infrared Sauna meaning it uses infrared wavelengths to penetrate deep within the body and raise your core temperature (as opposed to standard wet or dry heat). Infrared saunas are particularly good at skin detoxification, helping to clear pores and promote cell turnover. They also operate at lower temperatures than their traditional peers, limiting the overflow heat that would potentially kill your AC bill. That lower temperature does not however mean you will have any difficulty sweating. The Eclipse 2 can reach temps up to 165 degrees Fahrenheit and is controlled either through Sun Home’s app or an easy to use interior panel. From a cold start, it was reaching peak temperature within about 20 minutes and ensured I got a proper sweat. The interior red light panels were a nice complement and the built in Bluetooth speakers were easy to connect to and made the sessions that much better. While still an investment, the eclipse is not the most expensive sauna on this list. Its combination of infrared heating, red light panels, app connectivity and modern design make it our pick for the best indoor home option.
