Heavenly Heat Sauna Review - Focusing on Low Toxicity

Heavenly Heat is a small company that focuses on individuals with chemical sensitivities, ensuring that their products are safe and effective with unique construction methods not found anywhere else.

They have carved a nice niche for themselves, and have been quite successful in doing so, in business for over 30 years now.

The company offers both indoor and outdoor saunas, with infrared, traditional or a combination of the two heating methods, so no matter what you are looking for, they should have a product that suits your needs.

Let's take a closer look at Heavenly Heat Saunas to see what they are all about...

A Look at the Heavenly Heat Saunas

Heavenly Heat Sauna New

The company makes it a point to emphasize the fact that all of their saunas are made from thick panels of non-resinous wood, rather than plywood and strong toxic adhesives like many other companies use.

You have four options when it comes to Heavenly Heat Saunas: Far Infrared, Traditional, Combination and Outdoor Combination.

The Far Infrared line includes 1 person and 2 person models, with larger saunas in the near future. You can reach out to them for custom saunas, but there may be a bit of a backlog there.

The Traditional line is like you might find in your gym, with stainless steel heaters with sauna rocks imported from Finland.  As you might know traditional saunas operate at higher temperatures than infrared ones.

The Combination line, as you might have guessed, features saunas with both traditional and infrared heating, and you can choose which one you want based on your preference.  There are 1 and 2 person models.

The Outdoor line features saunas with both traditional and infrared heating and a pitched roof with asphalt shingles. There are 1 and 2 person models.

The Pros

Why would you choose Heavenly Heat Saunas over other brands? There are a number of reasons. Let's take a look at some of the pros.

Perhaps the most important benefit is the company's focus on low toxicity.  This makes their saunas a better, safer option than some of the cheaper, poorly made ones on the market.

The saunas have no wood glue, varnish, stains or thin cheap plywood. They use untreated hemlock wood for all of their units. Everything is screwed together, not attached with toxic adhesives. The heaters are tested to ensure low EMF (magnetic fields).  They use thick panels.

Their carbon heaters and FIR designs assure greater far-infrared exposure than with the weak plastic heaters. The units also ventilate much better than others with fresh air continuously being heated as it enters the sauna.

The Cons

There are a lot of positives when it comes to Heavenly Heat, and so far we haven't come across anything that would prevent us from recommending them.

There were a couple of drawbacks that we noticed early on, but those have been resolved.

Previously, prices were not available on the site so you had to call or email the company to get a quote. Now prices are listed and you can actually shop on the site, which is a welcome change.

Also, there used to not be a lot of information/research on the site, but now they have a lot more and seem to be adding new info on a regular basis.

Lastly, although not technically a con, each unit used to be built to order, so it took a bit more time to receive than if you just bought a pre-fab model. However, now that Heavenly Heat is not building to order, turnaround time will be much quicker.

The Bottom Line on Heavenly Heat Saunas

Heavenly Heat is a nice small company focused on providing high quality saunas, especially for those with chemical sensitivities who need the least toxic units possible.

As such, this company is worth looking into if you have any condition where you need to ensure minimal toxic exposure.

Also, recent redesigns have made the saunas much more attractive than they were previously, so you get the best of both worlds...a clean, safe sauna that looks good in your home.

Take a look at their indoor and outdoor infrared, combination and traditional saunas and see if there's one that's right for you.
