Sauna Accessories

Most of a sauna session happens in your hands: the ladle, the bucket, the towel under you, the gauge you check between rounds. Jump to what you need below.

Free shipping on accessories in the contiguous US with any sauna or heater order, on orders of $200 or more, and for life once you have bought a sauna or heater from us.

For every session

Buckets & Ladles

Water and hot stones make the steam. Pick a bucket that suits the room and a ladle long enough to pour without leaning over the heater.

Thermometers, Hygrometers & Timers

Heat and humidity together tell you how a round will feel. Hang the gauge at head height where you sit, away from the heater, and keep a sand timer on the bench.

Backrests & Headrests

A shaped backrest or headrest lets you lean back or lie down on the bench instead of against the wall.

Sauna Hats

A sauna hat keeps the heat off your hair and scalp so you can sit a round longer.

Towels & Robes

Towels to sit on, wraps to wear and robes for the cool-down between rounds.

Scents & Aromatherapy

Sauna scent goes into the bucket water and rises with the steam. Soapstone fountains and aroma cups sit on the stones and release it slowly.

Soapstone & Steam

Hukka carves its elves, diffusers and steam stones from Finnish soapstone. The Saunapallo hangs above the stove and lets one fill of water down onto the stones for about 12 minutes of steady steam.

Wood Care & Cleaning

Paraffin oil and sauna wax soak into bench boards so the wood takes up less moisture and dirt. Clean the boards first, then treat what you touch.

Bath brushes, birch whisks, shampoos and washes for the shower between rounds.

Building or upgrading the room

Lighting

Sauna-rated LED strips and lights. Mount them behind a backrest or under a bench, and run the low-voltage wire before the wall boards go up.

Vents

An intake low on the wall and an adjustable exhaust across the room keep the air fresh. Cut the openings before the boards go up.

Questions we get

What accessories does a home sauna need?

A bucket and ladle for water on the stones, a thermometer with a hygrometer at head height where you sit, and something comfortable to sit or lean on. The rest is comfort: a sauna hat, a towel or seat cover, a backrest and a scent for the water. Building a new room? Plan the vents and lighting before the wall boards go up.

Do accessories ship free?

In the contiguous US, accessories ship free with any sauna or heater order and on orders of $200 or more. Bought a sauna or heater from us before? Your accessories ship free for life; we recognize the email from that order at checkout. A smaller accessory-only order pays a flat rate by weight, shown on each product page.

Which bucket and ladle should I choose?

Aluminum with a bamboo handle (KOLO, Rento) is light and wipes clean. Wood (ProSaunas, 4Living) suits a wood room and comes with a liner. Rento's Pisara is a biocomposite that stays cool to the touch. A longer ladle lets you pour from a safe distance. See every bucket and ladle.

How do I keep sauna benches looking good?

Sit on a towel or seat cover, wipe the benches after a session, and treat bench boards and backrests with paraffin oil or sauna wax. Harvia recommends paraffin oil one to three times a year. When the boards look dirty, clean them with a sauna wood cleaner and let them dry before you oil again.
