Frequently Asked Questions

Can I personalize my infrared sauna with upgrades?

Yes—infrared saunas are highly customizable. We can add features to enhance both wellness and aesthetics, including chromotherapy lighting that promotes mood balance, Bluetooth speakers for music or guided meditation, Himalayan salt walls for ambiance and air quality, ergonomic seating for comfort, and smart controls that let you adjust heat and lighting with ease. Many Boston clients also choose finishes that blend with their interiors, from sleek, modern glass-panel doors in city lofts to rustic wood designs for traditional suburban homes. These custom touches make your sauna uniquely yours, tailored to both your wellness goals and your living space.

Is daily use of an infrared sauna safe?

Yes, for most healthy adults, regular use of an infrared sauna is considered safe. Many of our Boston clients incorporate sessions three to five times a week, and some enjoy daily use. Typical sessions last 20–40 minutes, providing benefits such as detoxification, stress relief, and improved sleep. Infrared panels also operate at lower temperatures, reducing cardiovascular strain compared to traditional high-heat saunas. Our systems use low-EMF panels, minimizing electromagnetic exposure for additional safety. If you’re pregnant or managing health conditions, we recommend consulting your doctor before starting a sauna routine, but for most individuals, daily use is a safe and rewarding practice.

Why choose infrared over a traditional sauna?

Infrared saunas are especially popular with Boston homeowners because they provide a gentler, energy-efficient experience while still offering significant health benefits. Unlike traditional saunas, which heat the air to higher temperatures (160°F–200°F), infrared saunas warm your body directly at a lower temperature. This makes them more accessible for daily use and for those sensitive to intense heat. Infrared saunas also tend to use less electricity and can be installed in smaller spaces without requiring major ventilation systems. Traditional saunas remain a great option for those who enjoy the classic, high-heat experience, but infrared is the go-to for convenience, energy efficiency, and daily comfort.

What are the best places in a Boston home for an infrared sauna?

Because infrared saunas don’t require heavy ventilation or plumbing, they can be installed in a variety of rooms. In Boston, popular choices include spare bedrooms converted into wellness retreats, master bathrooms for spa-like convenience, and home gyms for post-workout recovery. Smaller condos often utilize walk-in closets or alcoves, while suburban homes may dedicate a corner of the garage or basement. The flexibility of infrared saunas makes them ideal for properties with limited space. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your home and recommend the most practical and comfortable installation options.

How does an infrared sauna work?

Infrared saunas use invisible light waves to heat your body directly, rather than simply warming the air around you. This gentle approach allows the air temperature to stay between 100°F and 130°F, creating a more comfortable environment while still encouraging deep sweating, improved circulation, and muscle recovery. Unlike traditional models, which can feel overwhelming for some users, infrared saunas provide therapeutic benefits without excessive heat. This makes them especially popular in Boston homes where space and ventilation may be limited. Many people find the lower heat more relaxing, allowing for longer sessions with enhanced wellness results.
