Designed around the room you have.

We design our custom infrared saunas to measure, starting with your room, how you'll use it, and the style you prefer. Christopher uses those details to design a sauna that fits your project.

Illustrative wood infrared sauna interior with benches and windows

Size

Built to your room's width, depth, and ceiling height. A rough size is enough to start.

Benches

Straight, L-shaped, or two-tier. Tell us how many people will use it and whether they like to sit or lie down.

Style

Atlas has modern vertical wood slats with the VantaWave heaters behind them. Sierra has a classic wood-and-panel look.

Door and windows

Put the door and glass where they suit the room. We plan the openings, and your local glass shop supplies the glass.

Heat

We place the VantaWave heaters around your benches and draw the electrical plan for your room.

Red light

Built into the bench, close to the skin. Heat and red light run from the same Wi-Fi controls.

Custom infrared sauna sizes and layouts

Every sauna we build is drawn for its room. Here are three recent customer designs, from a compact Sierra to a two-tier Atlas.

Bench-Integrated Red Light, Built Into Your Custom Infrared Sauna

Make red light part of your sauna ritual. Nominal 660nm red and 850nm near-infrared LEDs sit between the wood bench slats, close to your skin, with no separate panel to position. The layout and your posture determine the distance to each body area.

Choose heat, red light, or both through the same WiFi control system. It is an integrated part of the design, ready when you settle in.

Planning your installation

What we need from you

A rough room size (width, depth, and ceiling height), where you'd like the door and any windows, and photos if you have them. Tell us whether you like to sit or lie down, too. That's enough for Christopher to prepare your 3D renderings and proposal, which arrive in 24-48 hours.

Who does what

Your contractor builds the room and assembles the sauna. Your local glass shop makes the door and windows to the openings we specify, and a licensed electrician makes the final connection.

After you order, we send the assembly manuals and electrical drawings, so your electrician knows which circuits to run before delivery.

Projects typically take 12-16 weeks from the deposit, which leaves time to line up your trades.

Incredible custom sauna experience

The entire process from design consultation to delivery was seamless. The team helped me think through every detail — wood species, heater placement, bench layout — and the finished sauna exceeded every expectation. The craftsmanship is genuinely on a different level. I've used a lot of saunas and this is the best-built one I've ever stepped into.

Our next infrared sauna

We already had an infrared sauna from a different brand, but after researching SaunaCloud we knew this would be our upgrade. The quality difference is immediately obvious — the construction, the wood, the heaters. We use it every single day. If you're serious about infrared therapy, this is the brand to go with. We won't buy from anyone else.

Chris was knowledgeable and straight forward

I appreciated that Chris never tried to oversell me. He asked the right questions, understood exactly what I was looking for, and gave me honest recommendations rather than just pushing the most expensive option. The sauna arrived on time and was exactly as described. It's refreshing to deal with a company where the person you talk to actually knows what they're selling.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I get with a free sauna design?

Share your approximate dimensions and preferences to receive custom 3D renderings and a proposal in 24-48 hours. Christopher Kiggins leads every design. You can review the layout, scope, and pricing before committing to an order; booking a call is optional.

What measurements do you need to plan my sauna?

A rough size is enough to start: the room's width, depth, and ceiling height, and where you'd like the door and any windows. Photos or drawings help if you have them, and let us know whether you like to sit or lie down.

How many people can fit in a custom infrared sauna?

It depends on the bench layout, which we design around the people using the sauna. Tell us how many that is and whether they'll sit or lie down, and Christopher sizes the benches and tiers to match. Atlas One is our one-person design.

Who supplies the glass door and windows?

Your local glass shop. We plan the openings, send you the sizes and specs, and supply the wood jambs that frame the door and windows. The glass itself isn't part of the sauna kit.

How much does a custom infrared sauna cost?

Most home saunas we sold from November 2025 to October 2026 cost $11,000 to $24,000 USD before shipping and tax, and about half came in under $16,000. Compact Sierras started around $8,000, and the largest Atlas rooms reached about $32,000. Where yours lands depends on its size, bench layout, and heaters, and your free proposal gives you the exact price. Budget separately for the glass door and windows, room prep, installation, permits, and electrical work. Shipping is a flat $999 per order.

How long does a custom sauna project take?

Typically 12-16 weeks from the deposit. We run an international supply chain, so events outside our control can add time, and we confirm the production, shipping, and installation milestones for your project. The free design comes first: custom 3D renderings and a proposal in 24-48 hours.

How long has SaunaCloud been in business?

Since 2014. Over 3,000 installations across North America — from luxury homes to five-star hotels like Cavallo Point and the Westin.

What makes SaunaCloud different from other brands?

We're a custom infrared sauna manufacturer, not a reseller. We engineer and manufacture our own heaters (VantaWave®), power supplies (CORE 5™), PCBs, and WiFi control systems, plus our own bench-integrated red light system. Vertical integration gives us direct control over reliability, consistency, and precision.

Do you build every sauna to order?

Yes. We build every sauna to order from your approved project drawing, so there are no stock models or fixed sizes. Atlas, Sierra, Atlas One, and Atlas Outdoor are starting points; the footprint, bench layout, and equipment follow your room and how you will use it.

What's the difference between Atlas and Sierra?

Atlas is the modern style with vertical wood slats and VantaWave® panels behind them; Sierra is the classic exposed-panel and window-pane wood arrangement. Both are fully custom projects — footprint and bench capacity follow your space and layout, not the model name. Your approved project drawing controls what gets built.

How do I order?

Start with the free design brief or a free 30-minute call with Christopher. Your custom 3D renderings and proposal arrive in 24-48 hours. Review the layout, scope, pricing, and project timeline before placing your order. Detailed installation documents follow the order, and your project quote sets the production and delivery milestones.

Do I need an electrician?

Yes — a licensed electrician handles the final hookup. We provide detailed electrical drawings and installation manuals. Use Owlie in the customer portal first; unresolved questions go to service@saunacloud.com, and phone messages receive an email response.

What's the warranty?

Residential product lifetime is 7 years from final delivery: 7 years on VantaWave® heaters, 3 years on power, controls, and junction boxes, and 1 year on lights, speakers, and covered accessories. The red light system is not covered. Wood, labor, diagnosis, electrician costs, and replacement-part freight are also not covered.

What electrical requirements do your saunas need?

It depends on your design, so there's no single breaker size for a model. We share the preliminary requirements before you order, and the detailed electrical drawings come with your order. A licensed electrician runs the circuits before delivery and makes the final connection.

How do you measure EMF?

All powered equipment produces electric and magnetic fields. We test the complete VantaWave® system while operating; average output is about 0.20mG in the measured system scope — test scopes, meters, and distances vary, so we don't present one number as every build's result. Wiring, grounding, shielding, and CORE 5 power delivery are engineered together.

What kind of wood do you use?

Clear solid wood, kiln-dried for dimensional stability. No veneer, plywood or particle board in the finished interior. Every board is hand-sorted for clean faces and even color and cut to spec, down to the 2x2 slats most mills won't cut.

How much does shipping cost?

Flat $999 per order, added automatically. Wood ships curbside via freight; remaining components arrive via courier to your door.
