I had been looking for a sauna for a while and took a chance on this one. It was a great choice it actually gets really hot up to 85 °C deg which is much better than a lot of other portable options. I don’t think you’ll find any other options that are better for the price. Would definitely recommend!

Sauna Benefits

Sauna Benefits

Saunas can help boost immune function by increasing body temperature, improving circulation, and promoting relaxation, which enhances white blood cell production and reduces stress.

Additionally, regular sauna use may support detoxification, respiratory health, and potentially lower the risk of colds and flu by stimulating immune system activity.

Science Behind Saunas

Cardiovascular Health:

A 2018 study (JAMA Internal Medicine) found that frequent sauna use (4–7 times per week at around 80 °C) was associated with a 60% lower risk of cardiovascular disease.

Heat Shock Proteins & Longevity:

Saunas trigger heat shock proteins (HSPs), which support cellular repair and longevity. Research published in Experimental Gerontology suggests that regular sauna use may help extend lifespan by mimicking some of the benefits of exercise.

Detoxification & Recovery:

Sweating helps eliminate toxins such as heavy metals. In addition, heat exposure can increase growth hormone levels by up to 140%, aiding muscle recovery (Growth Hormone & IGF Research).

The Sauna Pod – The First Ever Portable Hot Air Sauna (patent pending design)

Experience the full benefits of a real sauna anywhere with The Sauna Pod, the world’s first portable hot air sauna featuring our patented heating technology. Unlike common portable steam saunas that only reach 45°C, The Sauna Pod heats up to 85°C, delivering the deep, detoxifying warmth essential for true proven sauna benefits.

Crafted with premium 100% natural black cotton and cotton insulation, it’s water- and fire-resistant, avoiding the toxic polyester found in other portable saunas. The red light ambience enhances relaxation, while its compact yet spacious design fits users up to 6ft7 (25 st / 160 kg). Inspired by Danish aesthetics and Finnish functionality, this is the ultimate personal sauna experience, anytime and anywhere — all for a fraction of the cost of a regular hot air wooden sauna.

Thoroughly enjoy the Sauna Pod. It is well built and very effective. I have incorporated both of these products into a weekly routine and my life has changed immensely. Thanks Pod Company!

The Sauna Pod has been amazing so far! It reaches 85 °C very quickly (around 15 minutes), and at 6ft4 I still fit in comfortably. The window at the front lets me watch TV in my garage where I’ve set mine up. Easy to clean, takes up minimal space, and works as well as any sauna I’ve been in before. It actually gets hotter than other, larger, more expensive wooden or glass saunas priced at £2,000+. You’ve absolutely nailed it with this product!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

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 85°C, unlike steam saunas that only reach about 40°C, which aren't even sufficient temperatures to unlock the scientific proven sauna health benefits. The Sauna Pod is the worlds first portable hot air 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 85°C, unlike portable steam saunas that only reach about 45°C

Can it be used both Indoor & Outdoor?

Yes! It's made for indoor use, but also designed to be used outside. If you live in a colder climate (especially when below freezing) we recommend bringing your SaunaPod inside during that season. The same applies for rain, the outside material is waterproof but excessive rainfall or storms could damage it over time.

How do you power the Sauna Pod?

Operates with a standard UK plug.

How long does the Sauna Pod take to heat up?

The Sauna Pod will heat up to 85°C 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.

Is the Sauna Pod gonna run up my electricity bill?

No, it won't.

The Sauna Pod uses 1500 watt per hour, which equates to £0.10 - £0.30 (depending on your electricity prices). This means each sauna session will cost you less than a pound.

How much noise does the Sauna Pod make?

The Sauna Pod makes as much noise as a small fan, it's energy efficient and very quiet.

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 100°C 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 chemicals
  • The PVC floor is made from the same material as the window
  • The Heater is mainly made from metal, with an ABS plastic rim (free from any harmful chemicals) and rated for temperatures above 150°C+ (it's the same type of hard plastic that is used in water boilers / kettles)

How is heat distributed around the Sauna Pod?

The Sauna Pod's compact design, standing at 170 cm, ensures even, consistent heat throughout the entire space. With our powerful heater there's no risk of uneven heat distribution or heat escaping from the top of the Pod. After the recommended 20 minute warm-up period, the temperature is consistent from top to bottom, providing a perfect experience every time.

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.

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.

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. 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

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.

What is a dry sauna?

A dry sauna generates heat by an electric heater or wooden stove. Unlike steam saunas, it has very low humidity.

What does a sauna do?

A sauna will:

  • Raise your body temperature
  • Induce sweating, helping with temporary fluid loss
  • Increase circulation, benefiting muscle recovery and joint mobility
  • Provide stress relief

Does a sauna burn calories?

Yes, a sauna can burn calories. As your heart rate is elevated during a sauna session the body will work hard to remain cool. You can burn between 100 - 200 calories an hour in the sauna.

The difference is clear

Unlike common portable steam saunas that only reach 45°C, The Sauna Pod heats up to 85°C, delivering the deep, detoxifying warmth essential for true proven sauna health benefits.

We break down below the 5 simple reasons why you should avoid steam saunas.

6 reasons why you should avoid a steam-based sauna

  1. Ineffective Heating: Steam saunas struggle to reach adequate temperatures, often failing to exceed 50°C, which is far below the necessary heat for therapeutic benefits.
  2. Steam Leakage: Often you will experience significant steam leakage, especially when used indoors, leading to an unsatisfactory and messy experience.
  3. Low-Quality Materials: Made with cheap, low-quality components, steam saunas are prone to wear and tear, compromising durability and performance.
  4. Overheating Risks: Heat in all the wrong places. The steam heater can overheat and malfunction due to the need to generate steam from water.
  5. Inefficient Insulation: Maintaining consistent heat is a challenge with cheap materials, leading to inefficiency in achieving the desired sauna benefits.
  6. Unsafe VOC Levels: Steam saunas are often made from polyester, when heated this emits toxic VOCs and chemicals at unsafe levels. It can be dangerous for your health to breath in these chemicals.

Our Peace of mind guarantee

Every Sauna Pod comes with a 1 year manufacturer warranty out of the box & the possibility to extend for up to 2 years with our extended warranty. This means if you ever have issues, we'll simply send you a new SaunaPod.
