Small Space Solutions: Finding Room for a Home Sauna
For many people the idea of owning a home sauna can seem like a luxury reserved for those with large estates or dedicated home gyms. We often imagine bulky wooden cabins requiring complex plumbing, high-voltage electrical rewiring, and large amounts of square footage (which is generally true for traditional saunas).
However, with infrared saunas, you aren’t limited by the size of your home or power needs.
If you’ve been dreaming of a wellness sanctuary but aren’t sure where it would fit, our Transcend 1-person infrared sauna is designed specifically for you. Below we cover how you can find (or create) the perfect “spa nook” in your home, no matter how small your space is.
Where Can It Go? Anywhere Inside!
Because infrared saunas are dry (your own sweat is the only moisture involved) and because our Transcend saunas are built with tons of safety features, they are safe on any indoor surface, even carpet.
Here are a few creative ways to fit a 1-person sauna into your home:
1. Primary Bedroom
The compact footprint of our 1-person model (width: 37 ½” and depth: 39 ¼”) allows it to sit comfortably in the corner of your main bedroom. Since it can go directly on carpet, you don’t need to worry about installing special flooring. Then being close to your main bathroom means you can easily hop into your shower after a session. Our saunas also look beautiful so it becomes an aesthetically pleasing piece of furniture. In-sight in-mind is definitely a thing as well. Seeing your sauna in the morning and evening will encourage you to use it more!
2. Spare Bedroom
Transform a guest room into a multi-functional wellness suite. A 1-person sauna takes up very little room, leaving plenty of space for a guest bed. It’s the perfect companion for your guests or for yourself if you don’t want it in your primary bedroom.

3. Walk-In Closet
If you have a large closet with a bit of unused floor space, we have had many customers find that a 1-person sauna fits perfectly. It’s the ultimate way to keep your spa tucked away and private. You also do not need external venting. There will never be any water or heat damage from our saunas.
4. Bathroom
If you have a spacious bathroom, placing the sauna near your shower creates a seamless transition from your sweat session to a refreshing rinse. Because no gap is needed against our sauna walls and your walls, it can often fit into those awkward unused spaces. You could even take out your bathtub and put a sauna in its place. Hot baths, while still providing health benefits, are nowhere close to the vast array of benefits gained from an infrared sauna (especially ours because our heaters emit more far infrared light!).
5. Basement
Basements are notorious for having spaces that go unused. Because our 1-person sauna is easy to assemble and requires only a standard outlet, it can turn a cold basement corner into a warm, inviting space in the house. Just make sure your basement ceiling is at least 6’ 10” and you are good to go.
6. Home Gym
If you already have a room for fitness equipment in your home and have a little extra space, adding a 1-person sauna is the perfect addition. You can either use your sauna before your fitness sessions to boost endurance or use it after your fitness sessions to reduce inflammation, relax your muscles, and promote healing.

Plug-and-Play Simplicity
Forget calling and paying an electrician to install a 240V line or a dedicated 20-amp circuit. Our 1-person sauna is designed for ultimate convenience, plugging directly into a regular 15-amp, 120V household outlet. Our saunas are also the most efficient, saving you money on your electric bill every use.
This means that if you have a standard wall outlet, you have a sauna ready room. Plus they are portable and easy to assemble, making them a perfect option for renters or those who don’t want to commit to permanent home renovations.
Final Thoughts
You don’t need a large home to prioritize your health. Our 1-person sauna makes it so even with a small amount of indoor space, a premium wellness experience can fit into your life exactly where you are. By eliminating the need for specialized electrical work, floor protection, or wall clearances, we have made it possible to bring a sauna into your home, even a small apartment.
