Hybrid Saunas

Get the Best of Both Worlds With a Hybrid Sauna For Unparalleled Flexibility

A traditional sauna transports you to ancient Finland with an authentic, immersive heat. An infrared sauna works at lower temperatures and sends heat directly into your muscle tissue rather than warming the space. Both have their pros and cons, and it’s natural to feel stuck choosing between the two. But you don’t have to anymore. A hybrid sauna uses both!

You get one cabin with two heating methods so you can decide what you want each session to feel like. Or, run them at the same time for the most well-rounded sauna experience possible. You’re in complete control of how the session unfolds, which is what makes these some of our best-selling units here at Premium Saunas.

Frequently asked questions

What does hybrid sauna mean?

It means the sauna has two sauna heaters - electric (traditional) and infrared. While both types of heat can get you sweating, they feel different and may have slightly different benefits. 

What are the benefits of hybrid saunas?

Unparalleled flexibility. Some days, you just want the most intense heat and humidity. That’s what a traditional electric sauna offers. Then there will be times when you want to dial it back a bit and really focus on your recovery. That’s when infrared heating makes more sense. 

Do these saunas use one heating element at a time, or both at once?

Either or! You can choose a single heating element to hone in on a specific experience, or run them simultaneously for the best of both worlds and more layered benefits. You’re in control.

Are hybrid saunas safe to use?

100%. You just have to make sure you’re plenty hydrated going into the sauna, and continue to sip water throughout the session. Really focus on replenishing what you lost after the fact with electrolyte supplements, too. Keep your first few sessions short to gauge your heat tolerance.

How often should you use a hybrid sauna?

Anywhere from a few times a week to every day. We recommend starting with fewer sessions and gradually increasing your frequency as you adapt to the heat. 

How difficult is it to install a hybrid sauna?

Not very hard at all, honestly. We sell complete kits that you can assemble yourself in a weekend, perhaps even a single day if you have help. The only thing that might require an expert is the wiring of your electric heater. 

Can I install a hybrid-type sauna outdoors, or only indoors?

Either works, it’s more about making sure you choose a sauna rated for the environment you plan on putting it in. Outdoor saunas need to be constructed from weatherproof wood (like cedar). Decide based on where you have space.
