Thinking about bringing the spa experience home? Here are answers to the three questions we hear most often from customers exploring portable and infrared saunas.

Which Portable Sauna Is Most Suitable for Home Use?

A far infrared portable sauna from WillowyBe is high-temperature and corrosion-resistant, making it well worth using at home. The infrared light also penetrates far deeper into the body than traditional steam, producing a more powerful sweat despite the lower operating temperature.

Is It Worthwhile to Have a Personal Portable Sauna at Home?

Sitting in a sauna helps improve circulation and relax tight muscles. Taking just a few minutes to unwind can be a valuable tool for stress relief, with benefits that have been linked to improved cardiovascular health.

How Can I Transform My Bathroom into a Sauna?

To create a sauna setting in your bathroom, raise the temperature of the water and enclose the space so steam can accumulate. Start by bringing your water heater up to about 140°F, and remember to turn it off once you're done to avoid burning yourself.
