Best Portable Saunas

Today whether you want a sauna in your home because of the luxury factor or because your doctor has suggested you get one as you will soon discover there are a number of different options available to you. In fact in recent times there has been seen an increase in the number of people who are now purchasing portable saunas for use whilst at home or away. The only choice you now have to make where these types of saunas are concerned is whether you go for a conventional or infrared heated one.

However below we take a look at what the differences are between a conventional portable sauna and one that uses infrared heat. But no matter what heat source a sauna uses they are both built to do basically the same thing. That is they help your body to remove the impurities in it through the sweat that is released. So leaving your skin clear and fresh and free of any kind of blemishes or infections that may be affecting it. In some cases people who have used a sauna have found it beneficial for other kinds of ailments or conditions they may be suffering from.

Where as a conventional sauna uses heated steam to raise the temperature in it the other kind of portable sauna uses infrared light. With the infrared version many people have found that the heat produced by it is actually able to penetrate deeper under a person's skin compared the conventional version.

However when considering just what kind of portable sauna you may want to buy you need to consider what the power source will be for it in order for you to run it. Both of these types will require a considerable amount of energy from the power source to run efficiently and effectively, but it seems that the infrared version will need more than a conventional one. But it is best that you check out fully what kind of power source will be required and how much power the one you have chosen is likely to use before you bring it home.

Another thing you need to take in to consideration when choosing between the two different types of portable saunas is about the amount of condensation that is likely to be produced. It is important to remember that a conventional one uses steam (condensed water) to produce the heat that your body requires and this can have a serious impact on the condition of the room where the sauna has been placed. However this will not be of any concern to you if you choose to locate yours outdoors. But indoors you need to think about what damage is likely to be caused not just to the walls but the floors as well so you will need to have some kind of ventilation system in place. Whereas with infrared portable saunas this is not a problem.
