Collection: Indoor Infrared Saunas
Indoor infrared saunas are designed to live inside your home, from a bedroom corner or bathroom to a basement, home gym, or garage. Most plug into a standard 120V outlet, heat quickly, and need no plumbing or venting, which makes an indoor infrared sauna the easiest type to add indoors. These cabins warm your body directly with infrared light at a lower air temperature than a traditional sauna. Browse our indoor infrared saunas above.
What makes a good indoor infrared sauna
An indoor infrared sauna warms the body directly with low EMF carbon or ceramic infrared heaters rather than heating the whole room, so it stays comfortable indoors without the high heat of a traditional sauna. The best models combine even far infrared heat coverage, quality cedar or hemlock wood, a glass door, and a compact footprint. Because infrared cabins run cooler and drier than steam saunas, they suit indoor spaces where humidity would be a problem.
Placement, 120V power, and wiring
Most one and two person indoor infrared saunas run on a standard 120V household outlet, so you usually avoid hiring an electrician. Leave a few inches of clearance for airflow, set it on a level floor, and measure your doorway and the assembled depth first. Larger cabins may need a dedicated 240V circuit. Our sauna sizing guide and the infrared sauna buying guide cover fit and power.
Far infrared, near infrared, and full spectrum
Most indoor cabins use far infrared, which warms the body directly, while a full spectrum infrared cabin adds near infrared for a wider wavelength range. Compare our far infrared saunas and full spectrum infrared saunas, and see low EMF infrared saunas if emissions are a priority.
Indoor infrared sauna benefits
Reported benefits of regular infrared sauna use include relaxation, muscle recovery, pain relief, skin health, improved circulation, and the detox of a deep sweat. Treat these as supportive wellness habits and check with a clinician first if you are pregnant or have a heart or blood pressure condition.
Indoor vs outdoor infrared
Indoor saunas are simpler to install and use year round without weatherproofing, while outdoor models free up indoor space. If you are leaning outside, compare our outdoor infrared saunas; for the full range see all infrared saunas, or match capacity in our 2 person infrared saunas and 3 person infrared saunas.

Frequently asked questions
Do indoor infrared saunas need special wiring? Most one and two person models plug into a standard 120V outlet, so no electrician is needed. Larger cabins may require a dedicated 240V circuit, so check the model.
Where can I put an indoor infrared sauna? A bedroom corner, bathroom, basement, home gym, or garage all work, as long as the floor is level with a few inches of clearance for airflow.
Are infrared saunas safe to use indoors? Yes. Infrared cabins run cooler and drier than traditional or steam saunas and vent normally, so they suit indoor use with standard clearances.
