I keep getting spammed with ads for saunas like nurecover. They only hit 130 Max, not the full 175 of a Finish sauna. Is there any evidence, anecdotal or otherwise, to suggest it has recovery or longevity benefits?

I can’t say anything useful about the benefits of sitting in 130 degree room. But I’ve been doing saunas and banyas all of my life, so plenty of experience. The other critical parameter that I have not seen them list anywhere is, what is their humidity level at max temp? If you fill a room with s…

I’m here for this as I need to do heat adaptation, but don’t want to spend $3k on a permanent structure I don’t have room for.

Here’s another portable (lay down) I’ve seen used ones on Craigslist for $1k Listed max temp is 150F higher than the Nurecover which maxes at 130F. https://www.sunlighten.com/saunas/portable-sauna/

Also keen to hear from anyone who has actually used these regularly. Would really like one at home but there is no chance of a permanent sauna happening. Also much prefer a steam sauna to a dry, so these look more suitable than the infrared blankets (for me anyway)

We bought a portable sauna. They work great. I wouldn’t be deterred by the lower temperature. You’ll sweat plenty. What I caution against is getting one large enough. I’m 6ft and can fit in ours ok but it’s not a fun and relaxing experience like a real sauna because you are sitting on a little fold…

I’m not so worried about the sweat factor. It’s that the recommendations for using sauna for longevity are all at 170*f or above. I’m after that, and the described ancillary benefits of better sleep and lower inflammation. I’m not worried about heat adaptation cause I live in Texas. It’s gonna hap…

That’s an interesting sauna. The one I’m referencing is fully enclosed. But I don’t think either one is an IR sauna. Both yours and this one are advertised as steam saunas. Ami missing something? [image] Nurecover The latest in recovery and wellbeing.

Mine is IR. That isn’t my exact sauna. Mine just looks exactly like it. I don’t have a wet steam option. I do see that the wet steam ones are much cheaper than the IR heated ones. (I haven’t looked at these things in two years since we bought ours.) My only thought is that it should be very comfor…

I’ve one of these on order. Based in UK and I’ll be honest the delivery times are awful so be careful. I ordered on 20th Jan and still nothing has arrived. Customer support is terrible - just say it’s on way. Their tracking show it arrived in London on 27th Jan but since then no updates.

Portable saunas any good?
