3 Person Traditional Saunas

What size is a 3 person traditional sauna?

A 3 person traditional sauna seats three adults, and the room it needs depends on the model and where it goes. Indoors, SunRay offers one bench or two: it lists the single-bench Southport 300SN at 69 by 47 inches and 75 inches tall, and the Hampton 300TN at 70 by 47 by 80 inches with a raised rear bench and side seating that SunRay says accommodates 2–3 bathers. For a backyard, SunRay lists the Freeport 300D1 at 61 by 51 inches and 98 inches tall and calls its 55-inch bench comfortable for three. Dundalk LeisureCraft says the Loft indoor sauna comfortably seats 2–3 people in 74.75 by 54.75 inches.

3 person traditional saunas indoors and outdoors

Eleven of the 3 person traditional saunas in this collection go indoors: cabins and kits from SunRay, Dundalk LeisureCraft, ThermaSol and Kohler, and the Finnmark FD-5 Trinity XL, which adds infrared panels to its heater. All of them are in 3 person indoor saunas.

Twenty-six of the 3 person traditional saunas in this collection are backyard models: SunRay cabins and barrels, SaunaLife cubes, a barrel and the GL4 cabin, Dundalk LeisureCraft cabins and barrels, the Luna cube and the MiniPOD, True North barrels, Kohler C2 kits and six ThermaSol cabins. They are also listed in 3 person outdoor saunas, and the barrels have their own page in 3 person barrel saunas.

Wood heat settles where a 3 person traditional sauna can go: every wood-burning heater offered in the 3 person traditional sauna collection is on a backyard model, so an indoor room means an electric heater. The wider indoor-versus-backyard trade-off is what how to choose a traditional sauna covers.

How much does a 3 person traditional sauna cost?

A 3 person traditional sauna at Topture starts at $3,698 for the SunRay Southport, with its Harvia heater included. ThermaSol's 3 person models start at $21,276 for the Lumaria.

Topture ships the SunRay, Dundalk LeisureCraft, True North, Kohler and Finnmark 3 person traditional saunas free within the contiguous United States. SaunaLife charges its own freight on each SaunaLife sauna, and freight for ThermaSol saunas is quoted per order. Price each 3 person traditional sauna with its heater and freight before comparing: a model sold with heater packages needs one added.

Electric and wood-burning heat in 3 person traditional saunas

SunRay, ThermaSol, Kohler and Finnmark sell their 3 person traditional saunas with the heater in the box, the simpler route for a buyer who would rather not pick a heater package. SunRay fits a 4.5 or 6 kW Harvia electric heater in each of its eight models here. ThermaSol fits a Harvia Virta electric heater in seven of its nine cabins, sells the Nordic Misty with a Virta or a wood-burning heater, and runs the Solaris's 3 kW Harvia KIP on solar power. Every Kohler C1 and C2 kit includes a freestanding FERO electric heater with stones, and the Finnmark FD-5 combines infrared panels with a 4.5 kW Harvia KIP heater.

The fifteen SaunaLife, Dundalk LeisureCraft and True North 3 person traditional saunas take a heater package chosen on the product page; Topture marks one package Recommended on each, a HUUM DROP electric heater of 6 to 9 kW, or a HUUM HIVE Mini 6 kW on the SaunaLife GL4, so a buyer who wants a particular heater starts here. Wood-burning heat comes as a Harvia M3 wood stove kit on five Dundalk LeisureCraft backyard models and both True North barrels, with a HUUM HIVE Wood 13 kW package also offered on the Dundalk MiniPOD.

HUUM's US manual lists the DROP 6 kW at 25 amps, the DROP 7.5 kW at 31.25 amps and the DROP 9 kW at 37.5 amps on a 240 V supply. SunRay lists its 3 person models for 220 or 240 V, and Bathing Brands lists the FD-5's KIP heater for 240 V single phase. Your licensed electrician sizes the breaker and wire from the manual that ships with the heater and your local code.

Delivery and assembly of a 3 person traditional sauna

The SunRay, SaunaLife, Dundalk LeisureCraft, True North and Kohler models arrive as kits for assembly on site. ThermaSol's six outdoor cabins at this size arrive fully assembled on a flatbed trailer and need a forklift or crane to be placed, and ThermaSol says its Aalto, Astra and Lumaria indoor saunas come as pre-assembled panels that take 2 to 4 people to put together, per its installation manuals. Each of the 37 arrives by freight on a scheduled appointment and is delivered to the curb, so raise site-access questions before you order.

Topture's full-value freight protection covers each 3 person traditional sauna on its way to you, and Lifetime Expert Support can talk through whether three seats are enough. Shop Pay Installments is open to eligible U.S. customers on orders up to $30,000, with monthly financing over 3, 6, 12, 18, or 24 months at 0–36% APR, depending on the purchase amount and eligibility, and the available plans shown at checkout.
