So, you've done your research, you talked to your friends or your doctor maybe and now you've decided that you'd like to get a sauna for your house.

Do you go with a big sauna that requires its own dedicated space or do you invest in a portable infrared sauna? Just how portable is a portable infrared sauna?

Let's look at your options.

Portable Infrared Sauna First, we have a portable infrared sauna like the one on the left - truly portable ... you can open it whenever you need it, wherever you need it and then you can store it again when you're done. The advantages of this are pretty obvious: if you're tight on space, then this infrared sauna will not get in your way. You'll be able to take advantage of the sauna benefits and you won't have to sacrifice expensive real estate to do it.

The other so called portable infrared sauna is portable in the sense that your bed or your mattressPortable Infrared Sauna is portable: you can move it to a new location when you move your residence (it's not permanently attached to your house) but you won't be able to pick it up and take it away for the weekend somewhere.  I know ... the term can be a bit misleading but technically it still fits under the 'portable' category. It's important to be aware of the difference when you research saunas online and see this big wooden structure described as 'portable'.

Which one should you get? There are obvious advantages and disadvantages to each.

The truly portable infrared sauna as explained above in the first case will allow you to get the benefit of sauna usage without having to dedicate a lot of room to it. The second kind of 'portable' infrared sauna will give you a more realistic sauna experience ... that is, if you have the space to put it somewhere.

Either way ... be informed, know you options and go get your infrared sauna.
