1 Person Infrared Saunas

What "1 person" means for an infrared sauna

A 1 person infrared sauna, also sold as a single or individual infrared sauna, is sized around one bather, so judge it by the room it takes and the room it gives. Topture lists the Finnmark FD-1 for one person and the Sedona and the Logan for two, yet the Sedona is smaller inside than the FD-1, at 32 by 32 inches against 33.3 by 34.1, while the Logan gives 45 by 45.

The FD-1 takes 37 by 37.8 inches of floor and the Sedona 36 by 42, but the FD-1 is the taller at 78.3 inches against the Sedona's 75, and Finnmark asks for at least 3 inches of clearance above the sauna and on all sides. Finnmark's manuals also call its FD saunas freestanding units that should not be built into any structure, and suggest places such as a basement, a garage or a spare bedroom. For a small indoor room, measure the floor and the ceiling before choosing between the FD-1 and the Sedona.

1 person infrared saunas compared: size, heat, power and price

1 person infrared saunas by heat, red light and placement

Full spectrum and far infrared are the two kinds of heat in the 1 person infrared saunas here. Finnmark calls its FD-1 full spectrum: Spectrum Plus heaters, which Finnmark says produce mid and far infrared, on the back wall and under the bench, plus Spectrum Carbon far-infrared heaters on the side walls. SunRay heats the Sedona and the Logan with carbon far-infrared heaters.

The makers of the 1 person infrared saunas here give different top temperatures. Finnmark's manual gives 170°F as the FD-1's maximum setting and notes it may not be reached, depending on room temperature, air flow and placement; SunRay's manual gives the Sedona an adjustable range of 64–140°F, and SunRay says the Logan reaches up to 140°F.

For red light, the FD-1's manual describes a multi-color LED ceiling light with a red setting for use during a session, though Finnmark publishes no wavelength for it. If the ceiling light's red setting is all you need, start with the FD-1; other sizes are in red light therapy saunas.

Of the 1 person infrared saunas here, SunRay's Logan is the outdoor cabin: weather-sealed under a metal composite roof, with an exterior that SunRay's D6 manual says to reseal or repaint each year. The Sedona must stay indoors, by SunRay's manual, and Finnmark allows the FD-1 outside only under its own outdoor cover, beneath an awning or overhang, on sturdy, dry, level ground. For outdoor cabins in other sizes, see outdoor infrared saunas.

The choice among these 1 person infrared saunas comes down to what matters most to you:

• Full spectrum heat: choose the Finnmark FD-1.
• Far infrared indoors for less: choose the SunRay Sedona, at the lower end of this collection's prices.
• An outdoor spot: choose the SunRay Logan, which is also the roomiest inside of the three you can order here.
• Water on hot stones: look at 1 person traditional saunas instead; the three saunas you can order here heat with infrared heaters.

The infrared buyer's guide, how to choose an infrared sauna, weighs these trade-offs in more depth.

How much does a 1 person infrared sauna cost?

The least expensive 1 person infrared sauna here is the SunRay Sedona, at $2,798; the SunRay Logan starts at $4,290 and the Finnmark FD-1 at $4,695.

No 1 person infrared sauna here comes with a heater package to pick: the infrared heaters come with each cabin, and each price includes freight within the contiguous United States. Where the room has no dedicated outlet or circuit that meets the sauna maker's terms, budget for the electrician's work, and for any installer you hire, when you compare them.

Electrical needs of a 1 person infrared sauna

A 1 person infrared sauna here needs an outlet or circuit of its own. For the FD-1, Finnmark's manual requires a dedicated 15 A, 120 V circuit with a NEMA 5-15 receptacle and no other devices on it. For the Sedona, SunRay lists a 110–120 V supply and a 15 A circuit, and its manual says to plug no other appliance into the sauna's outlet. Before ordering either, check that the outlet you plan to use meets its maker's terms.

SunRay's outdoor Logan, unlike the FD-1 and the Sedona, is a 240 V sauna: SunRay says it requires a dedicated 220–240 V circuit and lists a 20 A circuit for it, so rule the Logan out if the site has no 240 V supply and one cannot be added. Your licensed electrician sizes the breaker and wire from the sauna's manual and your local code.

Delivery and assembly of a 1 person infrared sauna

Freight delivery of a 1 person infrared sauna is booked as an appointment and ends at the curb, from a liftgate on most shipments, with an adult aged 18 or over signing the Bill of Lading; raise site-access questions before you order.

SunRay ships its saunas as kits of pre-built panels in boxes on a wooden pallet, says the boxes fit through any door 24 inches or wider, and has two people lock the panels together with a Phillips screwdriver or a drill with a Phillips bit, the only tool its FAQ says is needed. SunRay puts that at under an hour for its indoor infrared saunas, the Sedona among them, and at about one to two hours for the Logan.

The FD-1 arrives as prefabricated panels, bench parts, adjustable feet, a power supply and a parts box on a wooden pallet from Bathing Brands, Finnmark's distributor. Its manual lists a screwdriver and a level as the assembly tools, but Finnmark's manuals also state "Professional installation required", with at least two people. To build the sauna yourself, shortlist the Sedona or the Logan; for the FD-1, budget for an installer.

Outdoors, SunRay's D6 manual puts the Logan on a sturdy level surface such as a concrete pad or a wood deck, never directly on the ground. Indoors, SunRay wants the Sedona on a fairly level spot in a dry area, with a floor separator where the floor is damp, and Finnmark wants the FD-1 on a solid surface in a dry area.

A 1 person infrared sauna travels under Topture's full-value freight protection: broken parts are replaced, provided the damage is noted on the Bill of Lading at delivery so the claim can be paid. Eligible U.S. customers can spread the cost with Shop Pay Installments on orders up to $30,000, through monthly financing over 3, 6, 12, 18, or 24 months at 0–36% APR, depending on the purchase amount and eligibility, with the available plans shown at checkout; the buying section of the infrared saunas page covers the rest of an order from Topture.

Next steps for a 1 person infrared sauna: a size up, the sauna finder or expert help

Three next steps suit a 1 person infrared sauna shortlist:

• If a second bather may join you, or you want more room, move up to 2 person infrared saunas; the Sedona and the Logan are eligible for 2 person collections as well.
• If you are still choosing between infrared and a traditional sauna, or between sizes, the 60-second sauna finder suggests a type and a size from a few questions.
• For questions about the outlet, the ceiling height or the room, Topture's Lifetime Expert Support answers by phone at (833) 419-1774, live chat or email at contact@topture.com.
