Make sense of the sauna world
Practical guides to saunas and home spas: which type actually fits your space and budget, what the health claims do and don't say, and the kit that makes every session better.
Every guide shows its dates, and affiliate links are always disclosed. How Saunafique works
Start with the decisions
The questions every sauna journey starts with: is it worth it, which type, and what heat actually suits you.
Five realistic routes to sauna heat at home in 2026 — blankets from £140, infrared cabins from £1,199, traditional stoves, outdoor cabins — with UK prices, power needs and honest trade-offs.
Sauna: 65–90°C dry heat. Steam room: cooler but saturated. How the two actually differ — in feel, in the research, and in what it takes to have one at home.
Sauna blankets cost £140–£699 in the UK in 2026 and run for about 10–15p a session. What they actually do, how they differ from a real sauna, and which claims to ignore.
