Is a one person sauna the right size?
A solo sauna is the cheapest way to own real heat at home, and the cheapest to run: about 15 to 20 cents per session for an infrared unit.
The trade-off is space. If a partner will ever join you, the step up to a 2 person sauna usually costs a few hundred dollars more and uses about one extra square foot per side.
Common questions
Is a 1 person sauna worth it?
Yes if you will use it alone and space is tight. It heats in minutes and costs little to run.
Can a 1 person sauna go in an apartment?
An infrared model can, since it plugs into a wall outlet and needs no venting or plumbing. Ask your landlord first.
Are there 1 person barrel saunas?
Rarely. The smallest barrels are built for two.
