Yes! That’s one of the best parts about this heater. If a bulb goes out we can send you a new one or you can replace it yourself!
We designed this sauna around the KISS principal (keep it simple stupid) to ensure robustness. If you’re looking to ease into heat therapy you can work your way up one bulb at a time. If at any point the heat is too extreme, you can simply slide the door partially open to release heat or slide the door completely open to get a fresh reset.

Yes, you can use HSA or FSA funds to purchase a sauna under certain conditions. It’s important to ensure that your purchase is for medical purposes. Here’s what you need to know:
Medical Necessity: The sauna must be deemed medically necessary for treating a specific health condition diagnosed by a healthcare professional. Qualifying conditions often include chronic pain conditions (such as arthritis or fibromyalgia), specific skin conditions (like psoriasis), muscle or joint issues, certain respiratory conditions, detoxification for medical purposes, and some stress-related conditions.
Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN): An LMN from a healthcare provider is required. This letter should outline your specific medical condition and explain how the sauna aids in its treatment or alleviation.
Compliance with IRS Rules: IRS rules on HSA and FSA expenditures are strict, focusing on expenses primarily for the prevention or alleviation of a physical or mental defect or illness. Check with your HSA/FSA administrator or a tax professional to ensure your purchase is compliant.
Partnership with TrueMed: We’ve partnered with TrueMed. After successfully completing a purchase of a sauna, TrueMed will guide you through a questionnaire and provide guidance on submitting your claim to your HSA/FSA program administrator for reimbursement.
Documentation: Keep all relevant documentation, including the LMN and purchase receipts, as you may need to substantiate the expense for tax purposes.
Please consult with your healthcare provider and financial advisor to ensure compliance with all necessary requirements, as each individual’s health situation and HSA/FSA guidelines can vary.
