Since I discovered infrared sauna blankets last year, my wellness routine has been infinitely more elevated. Sauna blankets allow you to detoxify your body, burn calories while literally lying down, promote lymphatic drainage, boost circulation, and so much more. The sleeping bag-like wellness devices are absolutely worth the investment, but the best ones cost between $400-$700 a pop. If you’re looking for another way to get your sweat session at home (because no one likes stripping down in the gym’s sauna), let me introduce you to the sauna tent. These portable, foldable sauna stations are essential sauna tents (with a chair), if you will. You simply unfold it, fill up the water container, and plug it in. Grab your laptop, your favorite book, or position yourself in front of the TV to catch up on your favorite show while you sweat it out.
What I also really love about these sauna tents is that your face is not exposed to the steam and the heat, so I don’t risk feeling lightheaded afterward like I would in a studio or gym sauna or steam room. “This sauna uses infrared heat, which is supposed to be good for your body. It helps you sweat and feel all refreshed, and it’s energy efficient, so you don’t have to worry about using up too much electricity,” one five-star Amazon reviewer wrote. Many customers also seem to agree that this sauna tent gets just as hot as the sauna in the gym. “I am a bodybuilder and a good sauna is necessary for pre-workout and muscle recovery. This thing heats up and it does so quickly—140 degrees in a tight space, [which] is very hot.” another reviewer said. They may look silly, but they certainly get the job done.
