The Hot Box Sauna structure is made of solid Western Red Cedar. This wood naturally repels bacteria, fungi, and insects while tolerable to moisture and temperature fluctuation without warping or splitting.
Stainless Steel is corrosion-resistant against rust, making it perfect for high-sweat environments. Stainless Steel is one of the most hygienic materials and does not support the growth of bacteria and other pathogens while also being a sustainable material.
All-natural wool insulation is entirely renewable, sustainable, and by far the best material to insulate a sauna! The most important part is that we are unofficially the first in the world to use wool to build a sauna!
100% Natural MCT Oil finish. MCT oil does an amazing job of bringing out the richness of the cedar grain while stabilizing the wood and protecting it from moisture. This is an all-natural toxic free finish that will keep your sauna looking new!
Introducing Heater 3.0! Our latest and greatest upgrade to the V5. This heater box is a masterpiece! The inner aluminum shroud houses the electrical components and is insulated with 100% all natural wool. The second shroud is laser cut stainless steel housing 4 incandescent bulbs, projecting a beautiful 2700K infrared light spectrum. Not only does this heater box look amazing but it blocks all EMFs with our grounding technique and protects the user from making contact with the bulbs. The bulbs will last several thousand hours and are easily replaceable. Heater 3.0 is over built and ready to go to work!
In The Hot Box Sauna, the Heartfelt Harmony Layer infuses the atmosphere with the essence of love. This layer radiates warmth that transcends the physical, touching the soul. It acts as an emotional balancer, promoting well-being and fostering a sense of connection. This invisible yet powerful component transforms each sauna session into an experience of emotional rejuvenation, nurturing inner peace and serenity.
I’ve had a high-end portable sauna for three years before the cover fell apart. When I found this, it looked like the right upgrade even though I got to like having my head out to watch movies with my portable. I went with this one over another similar box because the other one used a metal rail, did not specify wood, or report EMF emission. I didn’t have to wait long for mine because I ordered it in the summer. When I received it, I too was impressed with the high quality and ease of set up as noted in other reviews. It took me longer to get rid of the crate and packaging than the build. I checked the EMF and it was nearly nonexistent in the sitting area of the sauna. My son and I have each been using it 4x a week over the past three months. We were both at first concerned about being immersed in such a small hot space but quickly found it to be a very meditative and satisfying experience—I’ll take the peace in the box over watching movies. The box heats up quickly and we both get a great sweat. I’ve re-oiled it with some coconut oil, which deepened the color. When the temperature is cooler, there is a very little draft but hasn’t diminished my opinion of this wonderful product. Overall, I’m thankful for such a superb creative and well built alternative in this sauna space. Worth every penny!

Received our sauna earlier this summer (standard build for both size & wood finish). I wanted to wait to get a couple of months of constant - nearly every day use from both my wife and I - to provide a meaningful review.
I can state with a high degree of confidence that this sauna is the real deal. We’ve been using a standard Finnish sauna for years but had been searching for a unit that could actually fit into our NYC apartment that we share with our two children and pup. We found it.
Key highlights for us:
1. Comfort: very comfortable for one person - we have the backrest which helps with the lumbar support; and my wife and I can even take one together when we are pressed for time (we are average sized fit people). I am 5’11”, I can sit with my legs fully straight and they ‘just’ touch the front. Find it more comfortable to sit with legs bent though and find that the sides of the sauna provide support for a comfortable posture (with each knee leaning on its side wall).
2. Heat: in our indoor setup, it heats to 170+ within 35-40 mins, getting to 190-200 takes 70-80 mins (takes longer to heat to the higher temps). The app makes it very easy to pre-heat when you are away from home, which we do often.
3. Size: can really squeeze it into most spaces and don’t need much clearance to enter/exit. We actually have it off to the side in our living / dining room area for now until we have a smaller desk in our room built so we can fit it in our bedroom area (for some privacy!).
4. The wood / overall quality: every element of the build is so obviously carefully considered: the handle to grip for entering/exiting, the ease of use of the sliding door, the metal plate above the heater to help retain heat, the beauty and scent of the wood. Also the ease of assembly: I am not too handy and it was simple - needed minor assistance at one step just to hold the sides in place that was all.
Last but not least, Brady (the founder/owner) was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Gave me a video tour, then another one for my wife, and was incredibly helpful before our order, during production and remains highly responsive. This is the kind of company you can feel great about supporting, and you are getting a truly unique and quality product.
Thanks so much for sharing your awesome review! We’re super happy to hear that you and your wife are loving your new Hot Box Sauna and that it fits perfectly in your NYC apartment. It’s great to know it’s comfy and has been working well for you!
We’re stoked that you found the setup easy and that the sauna heats up quickly. The app is a nice touch for preheating, right?
We really appreciate the shout-out to Brady and the support you got throughout the process. It means a lot to us! Reviews like yours keep us motivated to keep making great products for our customers.
Thanks for choosing us! If you have any more questions or need anything else, just let us know.

My hot box XL with Sho Sugi Ban finish is quite literally the best thing I’ve ever bought myself. After 4 months of owning it I’m still as excited to get in as on day one. It looks and feels luxurious. It gets so hot, I love the red light, and so love the way I feel when I get out. Ohhhh and the smell, good lord, it smells so good.
My gf and I easily fit in there with room to spare. And solo, there is room to even do some stretching. I love it so much and tell everyone who mentions the word sauna to me that this is the one!
The build is as easy as it sounds. Went together beautifully and the install video was the perfect guide.
Can’t recommend hot box enough. 10/10
Wow! Thanks for the fantastic review! We’re so pumped to hear that you’re loving your Hot Box XL with the Shou Sugi Ban finish. It’s awesome to know you’re still excited to use it after four months!
We love that you appreciate the luxurious feel, the heat, and the red light—it really makes a difference, right? And we’re thrilled to hear it fits both you and your girlfriend comfortably, plus you can even stretch out solo!
We’re glad the assembly was a breeze and that the install video helped out. Your kind words and recommendation mean the world to us.
If you ever have any questions or need anything else, just give us a shout!

I've owned a cold plunge for 2 years now and have been looking for a sauna ever since. I've looked into traditional saunas and infrared saunas. I needed a sauna that would work in my garage, but every sauna I came across was either too big, too expensive, or too cheap / poor quality. The Hob Box Sauna is exactly what I was looking for. It's the perfect size for the garage (or anywhere else), reasonable price, with great quality and performance. I was a bit apprehensive about it being so enclosed, but in actuality I think it adds to the meditative experience, feeling like an escape from the outside world. I would recommend this sauna to anyone that asks.
Thanks for sharing your awesome review! We’re so glad to hear that our sauna is exactly what you were looking for. It sounds like it’s the perfect fit for your garage!
It’s great to know that the enclosed design adds to your meditative experience—sometimes it really does feel nice to have that little escape from the outside world.
We appreciate your recommendation and are thrilled to have you as part of our community! If you ever have any questions or need anything else, just reach out.

This sauna has absolutely changed the game! It’s anything and everything you could possibly want in a sauna. Super easy to assemble, great quality, and very efficient/sleek design. Currently using it outdoors, but I love that I can also move it + use it in my NYC apartment. Also love the ability to set the auto timer to heat up, so it’s ready to go to start the day. Well worth the investment and one of the best purchases I have made to date. Wonderful customer service! Thank you Hot Box Sauna + keep up the great work!!
