Almost Heaven Saunas
Dynamic Saunas
We consider a few things necessary to have an enjoyable traditional sauna experience. These are the bucket and ladle as well as a thermo-hygrometer (to read the temperature and humidity and figure out what your temperature preference is.) Below is a list of options and additions to consider when picking Almost Heaven saunas, whether you want outdoor barrel saunas or indoor infrared saunas.
Size: When choosing from Almost Heaven saunas, consider first the number of people you will have in the home sauna each session. If it’s just you and a partner, our smaller two-person saunas will be a perfect fit. If you plan on using Almost Heaven saunas for business use or having parties and gatherings with friends and family, consider our six-to-eight-person models.
Sauna Heater: In a sauna kit, this is one of the most important options. You can opt for an electric or wood-fired Almost Heaven sauna. When choosing, consider your preferred sauna experience first and foremost. Also keep in mind your energy source availability and the installation process when making your choice. Electric sauna heaters have to be hard-wired with the help of a licensed electrician. This makes wood-burning stoves easier to install than electric heaters. On the product page of your desired Almost Heaven sauna, you will find a list of heater options. Every heater listed on that page is the perfect size for that specific sauna.
Room Configuration: For Almost Heaven’s outdoor saunas, consider if you need a porch, floor kit (for any barrel sauna), and/or a changing room. A sauna with a porch can provide a space to cool down before and after your session. A changing room will provide privacy and extra space for clothes, cold beverages, and more.
Windows: Windows in your Almost Heaven outdoor sauna, whether it’s a barrel sauna or a cabin sauna, can enhance your experience by connecting you to the outdoors. If you’re placing your sauna in a private spot with a good view, a window is a great addition. However, if you’re concerned about privacy or if the surroundings aren’t appealing, it might be best to opt for a smaller window, like the Vista or Port Window on Almost Heaven Saunas. Ensure that if you do choose a window, you consider its size to maintain both the view and privacy.

The sauna itself and the customer service deserves a five star rating, the directions are the only reason I gave it a 4. They were a bit of a challenge, but in the end I could not be more happy with the quality and the overall look. We went with the teak stain. I have received some many compliments on it.
Was alot of work to put together but instructions were clear for the most part. Some issues around the door installation but was able to eventually figure it out but instructions were not clear even after figuring it out. I wonder if the door seal could be more substantial. There is a challenge getting temp consistant across the unit even with a 9kw heater. Feel as if a lot of heat is lost right at the door. I would recommend this product as it looks great and enjoying having it up and running.
Took me about 10 tries before it was able to connect to my network, even though I had a strong signal from my phone. Was eventually able to make the connection work and now it works well. I wish the app was able to do more regular scheduling vs. one time in the future and then after that time you need to set it up again. Also wish the unit was waterproof and able to be put on the inside of your sauna vs. having to buy another waterproof box to put it on the outside of the sauna. My sauna is an outdoor sauna so it would be ideal to be able to put it inside the sauna.
The sauna took two days to build. Read the instructions carefully. Then read them again. You will be fine putting this together with two able - bodied people. Delivery was curbside-only in my area. Over 1100 lbs total, but no single part in excess of ~ 60 lbs, if I had to guess.
Okay now to the good part: this sauna is GREAT. With the base heater offering (Harvia 80B), it takes about an hour to heat from 65F to 160F. It easily goes up to 200F and that’s when we turn it off. From there it holds over 180 for another 35 - 40 minutes. I love the design. I am 5’5, my husband is 5’8, we both fit comfortably laying down on the top bench (minimal contact). If one of us props up on the backrest, then no contact. There’s about a 30 degree F temp difference from the top to bottom bench. The bottom bench is a great relief when it’s too hot on top and allows a third person to lay flat. We immediately sealed the sauna with oil to give it a protective coat and a lovely cedar smell. I could not be happier!!
What a lovely review, Anisa – thank you for sharing! We wish you years and years of rejuvenating sauna use!
