Traditional saunas work by heating the surrounding air, which then warms your body indirectly. In contrast, our infrared sauna uses infrared heating panels to emit radiant heat that directly penetrates the skin and underlying tissues, raising your core temperature more efficiently. This form of radiant heat operates at lower ambient temperatures (typically 110–158°F vs. 170–200°F in traditional saunas), which can enhance circulatory, thermoregulatory, and cellular responses with less cardiovascular strain. Infrared heat is often categorized into near (NIR), mid (MIR), and far-infrared (FIR), each with unique tissue penetration depths and physiological effects—such as stimulating mitochondrial activity, supporting detoxification, or improving skin elasticity and circulation.

Setup is simple and typically takes under 30-45 minutes with two people. The Solara arrives in pre-built panels that fit together easily, with a phillips head drill required to securely fasten the panels during assembly. No specialized tools or professional installation are needed. The Solara 2-Person plugs into a 20A outlet and requires no ventilation or special installation, making it perfect for renters and homeowners alike. The Solara 2-Person is purposefully designed to comfortably seat two people while still fitting seamlessly into real living spaces. With external dimensions of 51"W x 41"D x 71"H, it's ideal for master bedrooms, home gyms, basements, garages, and dedicated wellness rooms. Whether you're sharing your recovery routine with a partner or simply want more room to stretch out, the Solara 2-Person brings professional-grade infrared therapy into places traditional saunas simply can't go.

Absolutely. We take what goes into your sauna as seriously as what comes out of it. The SaunaBox has been independently tested by Intertek — a globally accredited third-party laboratory — and certified compliant with California Proposition 65, one of the most rigorous consumer safety laws in the country. The test examined 20 individual components of the sauna, including all plastics, metals, wiring, and structural materials, screening for toxic heavy metals (Lead and Cadmium) and harmful Phthalates. Every single component passed. You can sweat freely knowing your SaunaBox is built clean, from the inside out.

Your sauna will ship via freight delivery and be delivered via "curbside delivery". It takes around 5-7 business days for your order to be processed before it ships. Once it ships, a member from the shipping company will contact you via mobile phone to schedule delivery. White glove delivery options are available as add-ons.

We highly recommend it! Without Shipping Protection, you’ll be responsible for a replacement shipping fee if your order arrives damaged, lost, or stolen.

An infrared sauna uses infrared light to heat your body directly, rather than heating the air like traditional saunas.

Infrared saunas operate at lower temperatures (typically 120–160°F) and heat the body more directly, making them more comfortable and efficient for many users.

Common benefits include improved circulation, muscle recovery, stress relief, skin health, and detoxification through sweating.

Yes. Infrared heat is natural and safe—it’s the same type of heat produced by the sun and your body.

The max temperature is 158°F. This is lower than in traditional Finnish saunas because the heat penetrates deeper into your body, which can lead to more intense sweating at lower air temperatures.

Most sessions last 20–45 minutes. Beginners should start around 15–20 minutes and increase gradually.

You can use it 3–5 times per week or even daily, depending on your health goals and how your body responds.

They can support weight loss by increasing heart rate and sweating, similar to moderate cardio, but should be combined with healthy habits.

Yes—possibly more. The heat penetrates deeper into your body, which can lead to a more intense sweat at lower air temperatures.
