Frequently Asked Questions
What are the "must-have" sauna accessories?
For any sauna, a reliable thermometer and hygrometer are essential to monitor the heat and humidity for a safe and comfortable session. For a traditional sauna, a bucket and ladle are non-negotiable for creating steam. For an infrared sauna, an ergonomic backrest is highly recommended for maximizing comfort during longer sessions.
What accessories enhance a traditional sauna?
The traditional sauna experience is all about the steam. Beyond the essential bucket and ladle, many users love to add sauna scents and oils to the water to create an aromatherapy experience. A sand timer is a classic, heat-safe way to keep track of your session without bringing in electronics.
What accessories are best for an infrared sauna?
Comfort is key for an infrared session. Ergonomic backrests, headrests, and seat cushions allow you to relax deeply for longer periods. Because you're not dealing with steam, it's also a good place for extras like a salt lamp or a drink holder to stay hydrated.
How do I care for my wooden accessories?
Proper care will ensure your wooden accessories last for years. Always empty your sauna bucket of water after each use and store it outside the hot room to prevent the wood from drying out and cracking. Periodically, you can clean your wooden items with a mild, soapy solution and a soft brush.
