How Did We Choose These Best Infrared Sauna Companies?

We've been researching infrared sauna companies for many years and all of our top picks are based on our own experiences, feedback from our many visitors, correspondence with company representatives, analysis of documentation and discussion with other industry experts.

These are the criteria we used to make our determination:

1. Construction & Materials - Overall build quality, wood type, panel thickness, and how solid the sauna feels once assembled.

2. Heater Quality & Heat Performance - Heater type, heat output, warm-up time, and how evenly the sauna delivers heat to the body.

3. Safety & EMF Levels - EMF/ELF exposure, electrical component quality, and safety certifications.

4. Comfort & Usability - Interior layout, bench design, airflow, lighting, and how intuitive the controls are.

5. Value, Warranty & Support - Price relative to performance, warranty coverage, and reliability of manufacturer support.

Let's take a brief look at the top brands...

Sun Home Saunas is a newer, tech-forward brand offering both full-spectrum and far infrared models for indoor and outdoor use. They stand out for strong heat output, fast heat-up times, and low-EMF design, making them a solid choice for buyers who want modern performance and build quality.

Sunlighten offers a line of Full Spectrum (3 in 1) and Far Infrared saunas, including the popular mPulse and Signature Series, among other models.  

The company offers three premium wood choices: eucalyptus, cedar and basswood and extra thick boards. Their SoloCarbon heating elements are designed for high emissivity. Their low EMF levels are verified by Vitatech, the industry leader in third party testing.

Heavenly Heat is a great choice for those looking for a premium 1-4 person sauna without a premium price. They are top of the industry for clean build quality, performance, and low VOC, EMF & ELF levels. 

The saunas are spacious and comfortable, with user friendly touch panels, good lighting and overall enjoyable sauna experience. Customer service is very good and warranty is competitive.

Clearlight Saunas has been one of our best infrared sauna picks for several years now. The company offers Full Spectrum and Far Infrared Saunas made of cedar wood and basswood, featuring their low EMF and ELF True Wave II infrared heaters.

The company was founded by a chiropractor, Dr. Raleigh Duncan, over 20 years ago, and has also received numerous endorsements from other medical professionals.  He is a pioneer in the industry and the company stands behind every sauna they make.

Dynamic Saunas are some of the most popular saunas on the market, manufactured by a company called Golden Designs. There are a number of models to choose from and they are more affordable than some of the higher end brands.

If you want an infrared sauna but your budget is limited, Dynamic Saunas are a very good choice for you.

JNH Lifestyles is a relatively new company, founded in 2014.  They have 4 different collections to choose from, including Vivo, Joyous, Freedom and Ensi, and offer hemlock and cedar options.  They adhere to very high standards, and have many industry certifications.

JNH prides itself on its third party testing, it's patented DuraPanels that protect from wear and tear, and its proprietary structure making assembly and replacement easier.

Which Sauna Should You Choose?

Of course it often comes down to price when choosing the best infrared sauna for your home.  So which one should you pick?  We'll try to help you out.

You want the very best quality sauna there is...

If you're in the market for a high quality sauna, with the best woods, the most effective heating units and top-end components, take a look at Sunlighten Saunas, featuring the mPulse, Amplify and Signature sauna series.

Another good brand is Clearlight. The Sanctuary Full Spectrum saunas are incredible, but if you want far infrared only, the Premier line is equally impressive.

Also look at Heavenly Heat, especially if you want a sauna with the lowest toxicity or have any chemical sensitivities. These are high quality custom built saunas for your home.

You want a good sauna but price is a concern...

If the Sunlighten and Heavenly Heat saunas are above your budget, then consider one of the second tier brands like JNH Lifestyles and Dynamic. You're certainly not getting the same quality, but you will reap the benefits of the sauna experience nonetheless.

Just for frame of reference, the best 1-2 person infrared saunas will be in the $3500-$6500 range, and the second tier ones will be in the $1200-$3000 range.

So, take a look at all of the saunas that these companies manufacture to decide which one is right for you.  All of them are well regarded and have been in the industry for a very long time.
