Watch out for Big Box retailers offline and online like Home Depot, Amazon, Walmart, Lowe’s, Costco etc. selling cheap infrared saunas.
UPDATE: If you’re looking for lower cost infrared saunas that still give you great therapeutic benefits then seriously consider going with something portable (they can provide the same benefits as a big wooden cabin)…that said of course portable saunas are also known to use toxic materials and what not so I did your homework for you.
Here are the top portable options I recommend for the best value experience: https://portablesaunasreviewed.sendx.io/lp/portablesaunasreviewed.html Here is my favorite lay down style: https://1lovehealth.com/?ref=2982064

If you need guidance on safe brands please reach out anytime to me at www.healthhacksreviewed.com You really have to do your research and know the potential red flag points to go over when discerning if these cheaper infrared saunas are really worth your dollars. Even at their lower price points the compromise is your health so I wouldn’t recommend them.
Also that great deal you think you’re getting is not reality. These cheaper re-brands out there are producing saunas at a cost of $100-200 per sauna depeding on the size of the model.
Points to go over with the Infrared Sauna company:
Ask about wood certifications and specifications
Ask for their safety certifications to be sent to you the original documentation
Ask to see specs on wood board thickness and also proof of what other woods are or are not in that sauna.
Check for toxic cloth covers on the emitters
Watch out for Plywood
Ask for a Spectroscopy test proving the emissivity of their infrared emitters. Those levels should be at least above 90% showing they are the later generation of technology.
Ask if they company has done an indoor air quality third party VOC test on any aspects of their sauna. Original documention should be sent to you.
