Corner Infrared Saunas

What are the benefits of a corner sauna?

This shape gives you more bench space in less floor area, because its five-sided design fills a spot that usually sits empty. The angled glass front keeps two people from feeling boxed in, and the Wizzisaunas model runs on 120V, according to Wizzisaunas. According to our product pages, the most compact model needs about 47 by 47 inches, so it fits a spare bedroom or home gym. The price often matches a square model.

What can you expect from a corner infrared sauna?

A corner infrared sauna offers what any infrared room does, warmth, sweat and a calm routine, in a footprint that tucks into a corner. Mayo Clinic says your heart rate climbs even at the lower temperatures an infrared room runs at, and that larger studies are still needed on possible benefits. Keep each session to about 15 to 30 minutes, the range Northwestern Medicine suggests. A sauna is not a treatment or a therapy device.

How do I choose the right size and model for my space?

Pick the size that fits your corner and seats everyone who will use it, then the model whose price and wood suit you, according to Wizzisaunas and the other makers:

• Tight spaces: the Hemlock Pentagonal design takes about 47 by 47 inches and stands 75.95 inches tall.
• Pairs: the Wizzisaunas sauna and the Laurent sauna each seat two.
• Space to stretch: the bigger pentagonal design measures about 59 by 59 inches.

Add a few inches of clearance, then choose the largest sauna your space and budget allow.

What indoor space and electrical needs should I plan for?

You need a level indoor floor, a 120V outlet on its own circuit and a few inches of clearance, and setup is simple enough for two adults. The models here do not require 240V: the Wizzisaunas sauna runs on 120V and 15A, per Wizzisaunas, and the Laurent sauna runs on 120V. Follow NFPA 70, the National Electrical Code. The Laurent uses a modular six-panel design that two adults can put together in about 20 minutes, per its listing. See our sauna setup guide.

How do infrared and traditional corner saunas differ?

An infrared sauna warms your body directly, while a traditional sauna uses a heater and stones to heat the air, with steam if you pour water. Cleveland Clinic gives these ranges:

Most corner models here are infrared. For a hotter room with steam, see our traditional sauna range.

How do low EMF and full spectrum corner models compare?

They differ mainly on stated EMF readings and infrared range: low EMF models list smaller readings, while full spectrum models add near and mid infrared, which the CIE puts at 0.78 to 3 micrometers. Wizzisaunas states EMF as low as 0.3 mG on its 2-person sauna, and the Hemlock Pentagonal sauna is low EMF per its manufacturer. No sauna heater is truly zero EMF, so read our EMF checklist, or browse full spectrum saunas.

Which wood suits a corner design: cedar or Canadian hemlock?

Both work well: hemlock suits a neutral scent and a smaller price, and red cedar adds aroma and decay resistance. The USDA Forest Products Laboratory Wood Handbook lists cedar heartwood as naturally decay resistant. Wizzisaunas offers its 2-person sauna in hemlock or red cedar, while the Laurent and both pentagonal saunas are hemlock. Hemlock stays stable and gives off little resin when hot. Either wood lasts if you let it dry after each session.

What features should I look for in a corner sauna?

Check the heater count and wattage, the controls, the lights and the safety extras. According to Wizzisaunas and the Laurent listing:

• Wizzisaunas: 8 carbon crystal panels, 1900 W, up to 158°F and app control.
• Laurent sauna: Bluetooth speakers, a reading light and an auto shut-off at 149°F.
• Bigger pentagonal sauna: 9 infrared panels and a starry sky ceiling.
