What is the difference between Traditional Sauna vs Infrared Therapy vs Hybrid Sauna

Traditional Sauna

  • High temperatures ranging from 160–210°F
  • Heated by an electric or wood-fired stove with sauna stones
  • Water can be poured over the stones to create steam (löyly)
  • Promotes intense sweating and cardiovascular conditioning
  • Stimulates heat shock proteins that support recovery and cellular health
  • Excellent for athletic recovery and endurance
  • Authentic Finnish sauna experience
  • Ideal for those who enjoy high heat and traditional sauna rituals


Infrared Sauna

  • Lower operating temperatures of 110–138°F
  • Uses full-spectrum infrared panels to warm the body directly
  • Infrared energy penetrates up to approximately 3 inches into soft tissues
  • Comfortable for people who prefer gentler heat
  • Supports muscle recovery and relaxation
  • Encourages sweating while using less energy
  • Great for frequent daily use
  • No steam or traditional sauna experience


Hybrid Sauna (Best of Both Worlds)

  • Combines a traditional sauna heater with full-spectrum infrared technology
  • Operates from 110–210°F depending on your preference
  • Choose Traditional Mode, Infrared Mode, or Hybrid Mode
  • Enjoy authentic steam while receiving deep infrared tissue penetration
  • Supports cardiovascular health, recovery, relaxation, and overall wellness
  • Provides the flexibility for every family member to customize their session
  • Offers the most versatile and complete sauna experience available
  • One sauna that adapts to your wellness goals for decades
