1 Person Infrared Saunas – Compact & Space-Saving

A 1-person infrared sauna is the ultimate space-saving wellness solution for individuals who want daily sauna therapy without sacrificing valuable square footage. Compact enough to fit in bathrooms, bedrooms, closets, garages, or even protected patios, these ultra-efficient saunas deliver therapeutic infrared heat in footprints as small as 35" x 35"—smaller than most shower stalls.

Why Choose a 1-Person Infrared Sauna?

One-person models prioritize personal wellness and space efficiency. Perfect for apartments, condos, small homes, or anyone creating a dedicated self-care sanctuary, these saunas heat quickly (20-30 minutes), use minimal electricity (standard 120V outlets), and provide all the benefits of larger models: detoxification through deep sweating, muscle recovery and pain relief, improved circulation and cardiovascular health, stress reduction and better sleep, skin purification and anti-aging benefits, and calorie burning (200-600 calories per session).

Far Infrared vs. Full Spectrum

Far Infrared Saunas - Emit wavelengths that penetrate 1.5-2 inches into tissue, promoting deep muscle relaxation, detoxification, and cardiovascular benefits. Operate at comfortable temperatures (120-140°F) that are easier to tolerate than traditional saunas. Ideal for daily wellness routines, post-workout recovery, and chronic pain management.

Full Spectrum Infrared Saunas - Emit near, mid, and far infrared wavelengths for comprehensive therapy. Near infrared supports skin health and wound healing, mid infrared improves circulation and reduces inflammation, while far infrared provides deep tissue penetration. The Finnmark FD-1 is the only full-spectrum option in this collection, offering the most advanced infrared therapy experience.

FAQ`s

1 Person infrared Sauna Most Frequently Asked Questions

The smallest 1-person infrared saunas require as little as 3' x 3' of floor space (35" x 35"), making them smaller than most shower stalls. Most models measure 35-47" wide, 35-42" deep, and 75-77" tall. You'll need an additional 2-3 inches of clearance on all sides for ventilation and door swing. Popular installation locations include bathroom corners, walk-in closets, spare bedrooms, finished basements, home gyms, and covered patios. Measure your intended space carefully and ensure the sauna can fit through doorways during installation (panels disassemble for transport). The Finnmark FD-1 is the most compact option, while the Dynamic Gracia offers slightly more interior space.

No, all 1-person infrared saunas in this collection run on standard 120V/15-20A household outlets—the same outlets you use for appliances. Simply plug the sauna into a nearby outlet and you're ready to use it. No electrician, no rewiring, no dedicated circuits, and no expensive electrical upgrades required. This plug-and-play convenience is one of the biggest advantages of compact infrared saunas over traditional steam saunas or larger models that require 220-240V service. Just ensure the outlet is on a circuit that isn't overloaded with other high-draw appliances.

Most 1-person infrared saunas reach optimal temperature (120-140°F) in 20-30 minutes from a cold start. Smaller saunas heat faster than larger models due to less interior volume. Unlike traditional saunas that require 45-60 minutes to heat, infrared saunas are ready quickly—perfect for busy schedules. Many users turn on their sauna while getting ready for the day or finishing a workout, and it's ready by the time they are. Some models allow you to enter immediately and heat up with the sauna, though most people prefer to preheat for maximum comfort.

Operating costs are minimal. Most 1-person infrared saunas use 1,200-1,600 watts of power. At average US electricity rates ($0.13 per kWh), a 45-minute session costs approximately $0.10-0.15—less than 15 cents per use. Monthly costs for daily use average $3-5, or $36-60 annually. This is significantly cheaper than gym sauna memberships ($50-100/month) or spa visits ($30-75 per session). Infrared saunas are far more energy-efficient than traditional steam saunas because they heat your body directly rather than heating large volumes of air.

Yes, daily use is safe and encouraged. Infrared saunas operate at lower temperatures (120-140°F) than traditional saunas (180-200°F), making them gentler on the body and suitable for daily sessions. Most users enjoy 20-45 minute sessions 3-7 times per week. Start with 15-20 minute sessions 2-3 times weekly and gradually increase frequency and duration as your body adapts. Stay hydrated before, during, and after sessions. Consult your doctor before starting any sauna routine if you have cardiovascular conditions, are pregnant, or take medications that affect heat tolerance. The low EMF carbon heaters in these saunas ensure safe daily exposure without electromagnetic field concerns.

Assembly is straightforward and takes 45-90 minutes with one person using basic tools (screwdriver, hammer). Saunas arrive with pre-assembled wall panels, benches, and heaters—you simply connect the panels using tongue-and-groove joints, secure with provided hardware, install the tempered glass door, plug in the heater, and begin use. Detailed instructions with photos are included. No special skills or tools required. Most customers complete assembly alone, though having a second person helps with holding panels during initial setup. The sauna ships in a single box weighing 150-250 lbs and fits through standard doorways when disassembled.

Yes, bathrooms are popular installation locations for 1-person saunas due to their compact size and proximity to showers. Ensure adequate ventilation (bathroom exhaust fan or window), place the sauna on level, dry flooring away from direct water exposure (not inside shower enclosures), maintain 2-3 inches clearance from walls for air circulation, and verify the bathroom floor can support 150-250 lbs concentrated weight plus your body weight. Avoid placing directly on carpet in bathrooms—use a protective mat or install on tile/vinyl flooring. The sauna should not be exposed to direct shower spray or standing water. Corner installations work well in larger bathrooms, and the post-sauna shower is conveniently located for cool-down and rinsing
