If you are looking to buy a three-person infrared sauna for home use, there are more than a couple of options. As you can imagine, this will take up some serious space in your home. But you need to think about more than just size.
Saunas need ventilation and different models have different electrical requirements. Then, you also need to look at the benefits and make sure they outweigh the effort.
That’s right. It’s not a piece of cake to get and install a three-person sauna in your house. We will go through some of that in just a bit. First, a look at four of the finest three-person saunas made by Radiant Health and Clearlight.
Radiant Health E3H
This is a three-person sauna which is part of the Elite Series by Radiant Health called the E3H. All the saunas from this series are made of Canadian hemlock wood that has six to eight percent moisture content. The exterior has a biodegradable wood finish and looks luxurious. It is made of non-toxic raw materials and has been tested to show zero volatile organic compounds or VOCs.
It is about six feet wide and is very comfortable even when you lie down. It has two large windows and a big glass door. At 0.3 mG, it has very low electromagnetic field or EMF levels which is excellent news.

The sauna is made with carbon flow Japanese technology. It is fitted with carbon heater panels and there are additional heaters on the front walls. This disperses heat evenly. It comes with an entertainment station with a CD/AM/FM player. You can operate it with a remote and the speakers are mounted on the ceiling.
This sauna also has the option of color light therapy, also called chromotherapy. This means, you can change the lighting and each of them has a specific effect. This three-person sauna has two control panels located both inside and outside the sauna.
The bench is made to provide increased support and comfort to your body. There is a compact modular system that keeps all the electrical components safe. It has been certified in the US and Canada as being completely safe and reliable. Radiant Health offers a lifetime warranty on the heaters and wood. On the electrical components, you will get a warranty for five years.

This one is a combination of great design with space efficiency. This sauna can fit into almost any space and is ideal for two or three people at a time. It needs a 110-volt outlet with a 15 amp output which means you don’t need any extra wiring. That is the standard in every house.

It is made with high-quality western red Canadian cedar wood or North American basswood, which is eco-friendly.

What We Learn from the Specs
Let’s do a quick summary of what these specs mean. You must look for saunas with low electromagnetic field values because prolonged exposure is not good for your health in the long run. Usually, saunas have carbon or ceramic heater panels. Carbon helps keep the EMF levels down but isn’t as energy efficient. Clearlight has a combination which the company claims brings the best of both worlds to you.
If the sauna is 15 amps and 110 volts, you can plug it in and use it right after the installation. But if it is 220 volts or 20 amps, you will need special wiring so that the sauna does not get fried. You will have to call an electrician for the installation. Cedar and basswood are good, eco-friendly choices.
Chromotherapy is an added benefit that some sauna manufacturers provide. Also called color light therapy, it is the science of using different colors and adjusting the body to different vibrations for a specific result. If that’s your thing, you must be happy with the choices provided by Clearlight.
But then again, all four of these choices are pretty great, aren’t they?
