Customization Options to Fit Your Lifestyle

No two wellness routines are identical, and your infrared sauna should reflect that. Medical Saunas offers a range of customization options that adjust to your body, your space, and your daily rhythms. Each choice is designed to enhance your experience—whether you're focused on deep recovery, sensory calm, or making wellness fit into a packed schedule.

Tailor the Experience to Your Health Goals

We offer a range of wellness-focused customizations that let you design your sauna around the way your body moves, rests, and recovers. These features make it easier to target muscle soreness, ease tension, or support joint health with a space that adapts to your needs. These wellness-focused features include:

  • Removable benches: Open the floor space for light stretching, mobility exercises, or standing sessions. This is especially helpful if your wellness routine includes movement or if you need flexibility for mobility aids.
  • Deep bench seating: Provides support for seated posture during longer sessions and allows more than one person to use the sauna comfortably. Great for those who prefer seated breathwork or shared use with a partner.
  • Space to lie down: Lets you fully recline and decompress, which can help release tension across the back and improve overall circulation after workouts or long days.
  • Built-in backrests: Add ergonomic support during extended sessions. These help reduce pressure across the spine and shoulders, allowing you to stay relaxed and comfortable for longer durations.
  • Omni-directional heating: Surrounds your body with consistent, radiant warmth. This setup helps avoid hot and cold zones, so heat reaches every muscle evenly, supporting full-body recovery.
    Silent heating systems: Keep your space quiet and focused. A low-noise environment helps support mindfulness, meditation, or quiet time without background disruption.

Shape the Atmosphere to Match Your Mood

A personalized sauna experience goes beyond heat. The lighting, sound, and ambiance all influence how your body responds. That’s why we offer sensory-focused upgrades that let you adjust your mood depending on how you feel, what time of day it is, or what your wellness goals look like that week. Here are some sensory upgrades we can include in your custom build:

  • Mood lighting: Adjust the color and brightness to suit the time of day or your mental state. Soft lighting helps signal the body to relax, while brighter tones can support energy and alertness. 
  • Color light therapy (chromotherapy): Different light wavelengths support skin health, energy flow, or tension relief. For example, red lighting may support circulation, while blue may help reduce anxiety and stress.
  • Audio theater systems: Add immersive sound to each session. You can stream guided meditations, relaxing playlists, or breathwork audio that turns your sauna into a calming retreat.
  • Bluetooth functionality: Sync your device in seconds and control the sound experience from your phone. Whether you want silence, soundscapes, or upbeat motivation, you have full control.

Customize for Convenience and Space

Your sauna should fit into your home and daily life with as little friction as possible. That’s why we offer various layout and construction options to help you find the right fit. These convenience-focused features include:

  • Flexible layout options: Choose from a variety of sizes and formats that fit small corners, full spa rooms, or transitional spaces. We’ll help you find a setup that matches your available square footage.
  • Hypoallergenic hardwood finishes: Select from durable, high-quality wood options that resist moisture and reduce exposure to common allergens. Each option is built for longevity and visual warmth.
  • Energy-efficient heating systems: Our low-power, high-output systems provide full-spectrum heat while conserving energy. They’re engineered for consistent results without high electricity costs.
  • Quick heat-up functions: Reach therapeutic temperature faster, so you can enjoy a session before work, after workouts, or during short breaks without long wait times.

Benefits of Infrared Saunas for Health and Wellness

Let’s explore the key benefits infrared saunas offer and how a custom-built setup can support deeper recovery, lasting stress relief, and full-body wellness.

Detoxification and Circulation

The detox process begins when infrared heat raises your core temperature, prompting your body to sweat—not from external heat in the air, but through deep, cellular warmth. Sweat produced under infrared exposure contains higher levels of heavy metals, BPA, and other environmental toxins stored in fat tissue. This is because far-infrared wavelengths reach deeper to stimulate metabolic activity and lymphatic drainage.

Medical Saunas enhance this effect with full-spectrum infrared heating that combines near-, mid-, and far-infrared waves. This full range activates sweat glands, promotes vasodilation, and improves circulation throughout the session. The increase in blood flow helps oxygen and nutrients reach tissues faster, which supports immune function, boosts energy, and aids recovery post-workout.

Pain Relief and Joint Health

Infrared therapy targets discomfort by increasing tissue temperature and boosting blood supply to tight or inflamed areas. The radiant heat penetrates up to 1.5 inches beneath the skin, reaching muscle fibers, tendons, and joint capsules. This penetration depth increases enzyme activity and improves oxygen exchange in the affected tissues.

In a custom sauna setup, features like omnidirectional heating and removable benches allow users to stand, stretch, or recline, and this flexibility supports more dynamic sessions where posture and positioning can directly influence relief. Likewise, for those managing arthritis, muscle strain, or joint tension, the consistent use of infrared heat in a properly designed space can decrease stiffness, enhance range of motion, and reduce inflammation.

Stress Relief and Relaxation

Custom infrared saunas help calm the nervous system by shifting the body into a parasympathetic state. As core temperature rises, the body releases heat shock proteins and begins producing beta-endorphins, neurochemicals that induce feelings of calm. This chemical shift decreases the activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis to regulate cortisol levels.

Enhanced Sleep Quality

The body prepares for sleep through a process known as thermoregulation. During a sauna session, body temperature increases; once the session ends, the body begins to cool down. This drop in temperature is a natural cue for the brain to release melatonin, the hormone responsible for initiating sleep. Infrared sauna sessions scheduled in the early evening can mimic this natural rhythm, especially when combined with calming stimuli like soft lighting or soothing music. 

Materials and Craftsmanship That Support Your Wellness Goals

The quality of your sauna begins long before your first session. At Medical Saunas, we choose every material and component with a clear purpose: to build products that last, feel safe, and align with your wellness routine. From the type of wood used to the performance of the heating system, each detail is selected to support comfort, durability, and long-term health benefits.

Built to Last with Premium Materials

We source industrial-grade components that resist warping, cracking, and moisture damage. These materials are chosen to withstand frequent use, making your sauna a reliable part of your weekly routine. High-quality hardwoods also offer hypoallergenic benefits and add natural warmth to your space—visually and physically. For customers who prioritize clean air, strong build quality, and an inviting atmosphere, our wood options provide the durability and sensory comfort they’re looking for. 

Designed with Safety and Efficiency in Mind

Our infrared saunas feature low-EMF Ultra Full Spectrum Heaters designed to deliver consistent therapeutic warmth across the entire body. These heating elements are engineered to penetrate muscle tissue deeply while limiting electrical emissions, creating a safer and more effective session. Our technology is twice as strong and far more efficient than standard heating systems used in other infrared saunas. This means you get full-spectrum benefits—including near, mid, and far infrared wavelengths—in less time.

Key Features to Consider When Designing Your Sauna

Designing your custom infrared sauna can be an exhilarating experience, but where do you start? What should you prioritize to ensure it meets all your wellness needs? Below are the most important features to consider when planning your design:

  • Medical-grade safety and design standards: Medical Saunas are developed by experienced doctors and built to meet strict wellness and safety standards. Each unit is designed for consistent daily use and long-term support, so you’re confident in your investment.
  • Durable, health-conscious materials: High-quality hardwoods and non-toxic adhesives help prevent warping and maintain clean indoor air. These materials support both structural durability and wellness goals, especially for those concerned with allergens or air quality.
  • Low EMF emissions for a safer experience: Medical Saunas use low-EMF technology to reduce unnecessary electromagnetic exposure. This supports a calm, focused environment and aligns with wellness practices centered on rest and recovery.
  • Ultra Full Spectrum heating systems: Each sauna includes near, mid, and far infrared wavelengths to deliver consistent, penetrating warmth. This full-body heat supports detoxification, circulation, and muscle recovery.
  • Flexible customization options: Features like removable benches, chromotherapy lighting, and integrated sound systems can be added to match your preferences. These upgrades help create a sauna experience tailored to your needs.
  • Layouts that fit your space: Choose from various configurations designed to fit small rooms, home gyms, or dedicated spa areas. The right layout improves usability and helps your sauna feel like a natural part of your routine.

Frequently Asked Questions

How energy-efficient are custom infrared saunas?

Custom infrared saunas are known for their energy efficiency. They typically use less electricity than traditional saunas because they heat your body directly rather than heating the air around you. This means you can enjoy all the health benefits without a hefty increase in your energy bill.

Are there any risks associated with using an infrared sauna?

Infrared saunas are generally safe for regular use, but remember to stay hydrated, especially during longer sessions. If you have a medical condition or are pregnant, it's best to speak with your doctor before starting sauna therapy.

How often should I use my infrared sauna?

Most users benefit from three to five sessions per week, depending on their health goals and how their body responds. Beginners often start with shorter sessions and build from there. Daily use is safe for many people as long as sessions remain comfortable and well-paced.

How long does it take to assemble a custom infrared sauna?

The assembly time can depend on the model and complexity of the design. On average, it might take a few hours to half a day. Most comprehensive manuals are included to guide you through the process smoothly.

Can I play music or use aromatherapy in my infrared sauna?

Yes! Medical Saunas offer Bluetooth audio systems and can be customized to include aromatherapy features. These additions help create a more immersive and relaxing environment tailored to your preferences.

What should I look for in the quality of construction of an infrared sauna?

Look for high-grade materials such as hemlock or cedar wood, low EMF emissions, and advanced heating technology. Quality construction ensures durability and optimizes the health benefits you receive.
