Infrared vs. traditional: Which is better for a small sauna?
1. Infrared Sauna
- Use infrared panels instead of traditional stoves
- Generates heat directly on the body, not in the air
- Requires less ventilation and lower power consumption
- Ideal for indoor use and compact spaces

2. Traditional Sauna
- Use electric heaters or wood-fired heaters
- Provide dry heat or steam heat
- Requires more space and insulation
- Preferred choice for commercial wellness centers
Both types can be adapted to small-scale configurations, but infrared models are more suitable for plug-and-play in small areas.

Is a small 2-person sauna comfortable?

- Backrest or lumbar support
- Legroom clearance (minimum depth 50–60 cm)
- Headroom (ideal ceiling height is 190-200 cm)
Compact units may sacrifice lounge-like comfort, but many feature ergonomic design, adjustable lighting, and Bluetooth control panels to enhance the user experience.
