On these bitterly cold winter days, nothing sounds better than defrosting in a sauna. Sweating it out within four wooden walls is a weekly winter ritual for Nordic folks, but unfortunately for us heat-seekers on the other side of the world, the nearest sauna is often miles away, never in the next room or even on the same city block. Reaping the health benefits of Scandinavian sauna culture usually means paying pricey membership fees at a wellness center. But wait until you see what we found hiding on Amazon: an infrared sauna you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home.
That’s right—this two-person sauna goes inside your house, giving you 24/7 access to soothing, rejuvenating steam baths. It heats up to 140 degrees with the push of a button and even has a stereo system inside. Wondering how much it costs to live like a Swede this season? Less than $2,000.

The Dynamic Saunas home sauna is 39 inches wide, 36 inches deep, and 6 feet tall, and comes ready to assemble in clasp-together panels made from Canadian hemlock wood. Most reviewers say that assembly takes an hour to an hour and a half with two people. The structure is designed to accommodate two people, but it’s worth noting that some customers say this can be a “snug” fit.
It’s designed to wrap you in relaxing heat via six heating panels located in the rear and side walls, on the floor, and on the built-in bench, each working to provide 360 degrees of warmth. They emit infrared light as well, which preliminary studies suggest can have all kinds of health benefits, from stimulating cellular activity, to boosting collagen production, to reducing inflammation, to alleviating pain and aiding recovery. While you reap the rewards of thermo- and chromotherapy, you can listen to a guided meditation or your favorite tunes via the built-in Bluetooth sound system.Simply plug it into a standard power outlet, fire it up using the control panel, wait 20 to 30 minutes, and you’re ready to enjoy a restorative sweat session. It’s “pure relaxation,” according to one five-star reviewer.

While the recommended temperature range is between 115 and 130 degrees Fahrenheit, the Dynamic Saunas home sauna can get up to a sweltering 140. Customers can’t stop raving about how this $1,900 sauna has improved their overall well-being. “I feel good for two days after using it,” wrote one reviewer who uses theirs three to four times a week. “My skin feels amazing, and I have no soreness the next day if I use it after a hard workout or lots of yard work. And I sleep like a baby!”
This home sauna led another shopper to cancel their gym membership entirely. “No more showers in public places, no more toting shower kits and sweaty clothes around in the car. Just turn it on and in less than 15 minutes, you’re detoxing.” They said adding a sauna to your home is “the best way to start the new year.”
