F.A.Q
How is the Sauna Pod different to other portable saunas on the market?
Unlike steam saunas 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 worlds first portable Dry Heat sauna able to reach these temperatures.
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.
How hot does the Sauna Pod get?
It heats up to 185°F, unlike portable steam saunas that only reach about 113°F
How long does the Sauna Pod take to heat up?
The Sauna Pod will heat up to 185°F in 15-20 minutes.
How long does the Sauna Pod take to setup?
It should only take about 5-10 minutes to set up your Sauna Pod, unlike other products on the market. Saunas costing thousands of dollars will take multiple hours to set up and often require specialist tools.
It is also just as simple to take down the SaunaPod as well, and a carry bag is included, so you can take it on adventures with you.
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.
Who cannot use the Sauna Pod?
If you have a high sensitivity to heat, have a fever, have a condition that inhibits your ability to sweat or have a pacemaker or defibrillator- we don't recommend using our sauna.
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. Additionally, the cotton fabric of the sauna itself is treated with a wax coating, making it liquid-repellent. This prevents the absorption of sweat and humidity, allowing for simple wipe-down cleaning.
We also recommend leaving the compartment door open after use so that the unit gets proper ventilation
