Blue Wave’s Coronado sauna uses infrared heat, which feels different than a traditional steam room. It warms your body directly rather than heating the air around you. This means you start sweating faster at a lower, more comfortable ambient temperature, typically between 110°F and 130°F.

The six carbon heaters are positioned to surround you, targeting your back, legs, and front. The dual control panels let you adjust the 60-minute timer and temperature from inside or outside the unit. At 49 by 39 inches, the hemlock wood cabin is genuinely spacious for two, with a deep bench and practical additions like a backrest and a media system for music.

Assembly is required and, at 329 pounds, you’ll want help moving the pieces into place. Once set up, its residential voltage plug-and-play design means no special wiring is needed for most homes.
