Sauna Benefits

Saunas can boost immune function by increasing body temperature, improving circulation, and promoting relaxation, which helps enhance white blood cell production and reduce stress.Additionally, regular sauna use may support detoxification, respiratory health, and potentially lower the risk of colds and flu by stimulating immune system activity. Our at home sauna can improve cardiovascular health, reduce blood pressure and improve cellular repair.Please note that users with pre-existing or underlying health conditions should consult a healthcare professional before use. The Pod Company assumes no liability for adverse effects resulting from such conditions.

Science Behind Saunas

Cardiovascular Health:A 2018 study (JAMA Internal Medicine) found that frequent sauna use (4–7 times per week at ~80°C) was associated with a 60% lower risk of cardiovascular disease.Heat Shock Proteins & Longevity:Saunas induce heat shock proteins (HSPs), which support cellular repair and longevity. A study from Experimental Gerontology suggests regular sauna use can increase lifespan by mimicking the effects of exercise.Detoxification & Recovery:Sweating helps eliminate toxins such as heavy metals. Plus, heat exposure increases growth hormone levels by up to 140%, aiding muscle recovery (study: Growth Hormone & IGF Research).

How is the Sauna Pod different to other portable saunas on the market?
Unlike steam saunas and "sweat tents" that often use cheap polyester materials (which can release toxic gases when heated), our sauna is designed to prioritize your health. Made with 100% natural black cotton inside and out, with cotton insulation between the layers.You can expect the Sauna Pod to heat up to 185°F, unlike steam saunas that only reach about 113°F, which aren't even sufficient temperatures to unlock the scientific proven sauna health benefits. The Sauna Pod is the world's first portable hot air sauna able to reach these temperatures. It's a dry sauna that mirrors authentic Finnish practice. We spent over 18 months testing out this product to create the ultimate solution for heat therapy.

How does the Sauna get hot?
It's a hot air based system, heat is generated from our patent pending electric heater, think of it as a miniature version of a regular sauna stove. No steam or water is needed, providing genuine heat without the dampness and moisture.

Can it be used both Indoor & Outdoor?
Yes! It's made for indoor use, but also can be enjoyed as an outdoor sauna. If you live in a colder climate (especially when below freezing) we recommend bringing your Sauna Pod inside during that season. The same applies for rain, the outside material is waterproof but excessive rainfall or storms could damage it over time. It's also a portable sauna, pack it up and take it with you as the setup process is simple and quick.

What materials are used to make the Sauna Pod?
Beyond the 100% natural cotton used for the majority of the Pod, the Sauna is also made up of the following material.The window is food grade TPU, which is designed for temperatures up to 220°F and free from BPAs / phthalates / and other bad chemicals. It's a transparent silicone (used in food products too so it's the highest possible grade). It is odorless with zero toxic chemicalsThe PVC floor is made from the same material as the windowThe Heater is mainly made from metal, with an ABS plastic rim (free from any harmful chemicals) and rated for temperatures above 300°F+ (it's the same type of hard plastic that is used in water boilers / kettles)

How is heat distributed around the Sauna Pod?
Heat naturally rises, and the Sauna Pod is designed with that in mind. Standing at 170 cm, its compact, enclosed shape lets heat build up efficiently when the Pod is closed. The longer you stay inside with the door shut, the more that heat accumulates, giving you a deeper, more intense session the longer you remain in it. Our powerful heater keeps this process efficient and prevents heat from escaping, so nothing goes to waste as it rises.As with any sauna, you'll always feel more heat the higher up you are, since that's simply how heat behaves. After the recommended 20 minute warm-up period, the Pod reaches a strong, immersive heat throughout, so you get a consistently powerful experience from top to bottom, with the most intense heat at head height, as expected.

What are the health benefits of saunas?
Regular sauna use promotes intense sweating, which plays a crucial role in regulating body temperature and flushing out toxins, while also boosting circulation, reducing inflammation, supporting the immune system, and enhancing cardiovascular health. Additionally, the heat exposure stimulates the release of endorphins, helping to reduce stress, improve mood, and accelerate muscle recovery, making it an excellent practice for overall well-being and longevity.See the sauna benefits section for a detailed breakdown

How long should I spend in the sauna?
We recommend sessions to be 15-30 minutes. If you're a regular sauna user, you may be able to stay longer. It is unlikely that you'll experience more significant health benefits by staying inside for longer as your body will have cleared out the majority of harmful toxins inside the body through sweating within the first 10-15 min.

Infrared vs hot air sauna
An infrared sauna is a type of sauna that uses light to make heat. This type of sauna is sometimes called a far-infrared sauna. "Far" describes where the infrared waves fall on the light spectrum. A regular Finnish sauna uses electric conduction heat to warm the air, which in turn warms your body. An infrared sauna heats your body directly without warming the air around you. Studies have shown that hot air saunas are healthier for your body long term, and most longevity studies with proven health benefits are around Finnish/hot air saunas with higher temperatures, which is why we choose this heating option for the SaunaPod.

What EMF does the Sauna Pod generate?
Our patent pending heater uses resistance coils to generate heat. The current passing through these coils produces low-frequency electromagnetic fields (similar to other household appliances like hairdryers and electric stoves). It's impossible to get 0 EMF, but the SaunaPod heater is on the low end and would be classified as a Low-EMF appliance.

Does the red light in the Sauna Pod have any functional benefit?
The red light in our Sauna Pod is a regular red LED strip that improves the ambiance during a session. It is not red light therapy, which requires specific wavelengths to be effective (typically between 600 to 850 nm).Regular red LED strips are not designed for therapeutic purposes.

How do you recommend cleaning the Sauna Pod?
The Sauna Pod features a PVC flooring material that is easy to wipe clean, ensuring effortless maintenance. The chair is constructed from a durable fabric that is also designed for easy cleaning. We recommend leaving the compartment door open after use so that the unit gets proper ventilation. You can also wipe down the interior cotton cabin to prevent any build up of sweat or dirt.

Can I buy the Sauna Pod heater separately?
No, the Sauna Pod heater is only available as part of the complete Sauna Pod system.The heater is specifically designed to work with our 100% cotton Sauna Pod, ensuring the safest and most effective sauna experience. Most other sauna tents are made from polyester or nylon, which can release toxic chemicals at high temperatures. Using the heater outside of the Sauna Pod would also reduce its efficiency and overall performance.To achieve the best results, we recommend the full Sauna Pod system, which is engineered for optimal heat distribution, safety, and durability.
