Why we carry accessories
Accessories Are Great. A Sauna You Actually Use Is Better.
We stock accessories like this one so our sauna and heater customers can get everything for the room in one place. If you already have a sauna you love, welcome. If you are still planning one, or the one you have never quite gets hot enough, take a look at what we really do.
Free shipping for life on accessories
On its own, this ships for $37.95. Put it on the same order as a sauna or heater and it ships free. After that, accessories and materials like this ship free on every order you place with us, for life. Use the same email and we’ll recognize you at checkout.
The Rabbit Hole Ends Here
Did you always have opinions about cedar? No. No you did not. Most people shopping for a sauna end up with a dozen tabs open, three brands that all say they are the best, and a forum thread that argues both ways. We have built, installed and fixed saunas like the ones we sell, and we use our own at home. Tell us about your space and we will tell you which sauna and heater fit it, and which ones don’t.
- A heater sized to your roomWe match the heater to the room’s volume, walls and glass, so it heats the way it should.
- The whole project, thought throughSpace, electrical, freight and install get talked through before you order, not discovered after.
- Still here afterThe same people answer when a question comes up mid-build, and long after delivery.
The best sauna deal is the one you don’t have to buy twice.
