A portable sauna gives you the sauna experience you crave at an affordable, portable option. You can get a sauna perfect for a rental or small space. These personal units provide a full sauna treatment in a small package. You do not need to invest a large amount of money into putting a permanent unit into your home. These portable units look like a half pipe with the dome side up. You lay under the pipe with your head on a pillow. The heaters in the unit focus heat where you want it. You can control the amount of heat in the unit with a simple digital unit attached. This gives you the control you need for the perfect treatment.

One kind of portable sauna uses infrared heating elements to bring the heat into your body. Unlike traditional saunas, this technology does not rely on heating rocks or pouring water to create humidity. The infrared waves enter the body and gradually warm things from within. This direct heating action speeds up the body’s metabolism and circulation. This draws oxygen and other nutrients into the deepest tissues of the body. That in turn helps bring down blood pressure and create a sweat that pulls toxins out of the body.

A portable sauna unit is the perfect choice for someone without the space for even a small permanent installation. The smallest one-person saunas often require about 16 square feet of floor space for a proper installation. But, these portable units do not take up that much space and are easily stored when not in use. You can set the unit up in a corner and keep it there, or break it down when you are not using it and store it in a closet. The choice is up to you and your space needs.

Another good thing about a portable sauna is that they are perfect for renters. There are small sauna units that can break down for moving. However, the work to get them down and back together is painful. And, for renters, something they likely do not want to deal with. Since most rental units have space issues anyway, the portable unit makes a great compromise. You get the sauna treatments you want without the need to worry about taking a larger unit when you move. If you want a home sauna, but don’t have the room or the budget for a permanent one, consider a portable option.
