1 Person Sauna
1 Person Sauna FAQ
Is a 1 person home sauna suitable for small spaces or apartments?
Yes, a 1 person home sauna is ideal for compact spaces like small homes, apartments, or studios. Most models only need about 3x3 to 4x4 feet of floor space. Infrared saunas are especially space-efficient—they have built-in heaters, don’t require external ventilation, and are easier to install than traditional wood-burning types.
What is different between a 1-person sauna and an infrared one?
The main difference is how they make you warm. A traditional sauna warms the air with an electric or wood stove, which then warms you. This type of heat is more all-around strong. Infrared saunas use light panels to warm you up at a lower heat, which can be softer and more comfortable. Both types work well, but what heat and set-up you like best will help you choose. This thread tells what people think is best for small homes.
Can I put a 1-person sauna in my home without big changes?
Yes, putting a 1-person sauna in usually doesn’t need much work. Ready-made indoor types come in pieces that fit together in a few hours with easy tools. As long as the floor is even and safe from water (like tile or cement), most saunas can be set up fast in bathrooms, basements, or spare rooms. Electric infrared ones are extra easy, just need a normal plug. Follow these simple tips to keep your sauna in good shape after it’s up.
Is it hard to put together a 1-person sauna kit by yourself?
Not really. Many 1-person sauna kits are made easy for you to put together by yourself. They come pre-cut with simple guides. If you know how to use easy tools like a screwdriver or drill, you can get your sauna up in a few hours. Some kits even have extras like thermometers and lights, making it even easier.
