The Highest Quality Custom Infrared Saunas

About SaunaCloud: Engineering Medical-Grade Wellness

SaunaCloud is a California-based leader in the design and manufacturing of custom-built infrared saunas and red light therapy systems. Founded in 2014 by Christopher Kiggins, we do not position ourselves as a typical wellness marketing firm. Instead, we are an engineering-driven entity dedicated to high-performance technology, safety, and therapeutic efficacy.

Headquartered in Diamond Springs, CA, with operations in South Lake Tahoe and San Francisco, our mission is to move beyond the mass-produced “detox boxes” that flood the market. We provide medical-grade infrared saunas rooted in honest engineering and artisanal craftsmanship.

Our Mission: Health Through Honest Engineering

At SaunaCloud, we believe that true wellness requires precision. Our mission is to engineer advanced infrared therapy solutions that promote long-term health benefits, including cardiovascular improvementpain reliefdetoxificationstress reductionbetter sleep, and inflammation reduction.

We prioritize in-house development of critical components to avoid generic overseas parts. This ensures that every unit we build—from residential custom builds to commercial wellness centers—meets the highest standards of safety and ultra-low electromagnetic field (EMF) emissions.

Meet the Founder: Christopher Kiggins

Christopher Kiggins, the Founder and CEO of SaunaCloud, has served as the compny’s primary sauna designer since its inception. A graduate of the University of California (B.A., 2004–2008), Kiggins is a recognized thought leader, author, and educator in the field of infrared technology.

Kiggins’ passion for the industry was born from a personal health journey. Through daily 30-minute sauna sessions, he successfully lost 20 pounds, lowered his blood pressure, and achieved significant stress relief. Disappointed by the lack of transparency in the sauna market, he founded SaunaCloud to bridge the gap between medical science and home wellness.

He is the author of The Definitive Guide to Infrared Saunas: Lose Weight, Feel Great, and Detoxify Your Life (2015), one of the first comprehensive resources on far-infrared therapy science. Kiggins remains hands-on, personally handling consultations and providing 3D renderings and electrical plans to ensure every client receives pressure-free guidance and a system built for longevity.

The SaunaCloud Difference: Technology & Specs

Since 2014, we have handcrafted over 3,000 units, constantly innovating on heater efficiency, insulation, and red light integration. Our commitment to quality is defined by these core technologies:

  • Proprietary VantaWave® Heaters: Our heaters are engineered for safety, emitting under 3mG EMF, and often testing below 0.5mG—levels that are 20 times lower than industry standards. They deliver a 7.9-micron far-infrared wavelength for optimal absorption.
  • Clinical-Grade Red Light Therapy: Unlike standard cosmetic lights, our systems embed 660nm and 850nm wavelength panels directly into benches and backrests. This ensures clinical proximity (2–6 inches) for maximum efficacy.
  • Performance: Our saunas achieve surface temperatures of 190°F, providing heat penetration that is 2x deeper than traditional models.
  • Premium Materials: We exclusively use Western Red Cedar for its natural antimicrobial properties, dimensional stability, and therapeutic aroma.
  • Modern Control: Features include WiFi-enabled controls with heart rate monitoring and preset wellness programs.
