Sun Home has become one of the best-known names in home saunas. Its site features athletes and public figures like Mike Tyson and bodybuilder Chris Bumstead among its customers, and independent reviewers at Garage Gym Reviews named its Equinox their best overall infrared sauna.
But the lineup can be confusing: six sauna families, three kinds of heat, indoor and outdoor. Here’s how to find yours in a few minutes.
Start with the heat you want
- Far-infrared (Solstice, Pod): gentle, soothing warmth. The simplest and most affordable way in.
- Full-spectrum infrared (Equinox, Eclipse, Luminar): near, mid and far infrared in one session. A more intense infrared experience.
- Traditional (Nova, Solaris): hot air, heated stones and steam. The classic Finnish sauna.
Not sure which you’d enjoy? Read infrared vs. traditional first.

Model by model
Solstice: the most affordable way in
A far-infrared cabin in sizes from one to four people. If you want a real sauna room without paying for extra features, start here. Saunas and the Cold Plunge Pro ship free as of October 2026, and code CABINET takes $200 off at checkout. See Solstice →
Equinox: the one most people should look at first
A two- or three-person full-spectrum sauna. Garage Gym Reviews named it their best overall infrared sauna with a 4.3/5 score. They liked that it needs no power tools to assemble and runs on a 120V outlet. Their downsides: it’s expensive, heavy, and two people is a tight fit. Sun Home’s product page lists a dedicated 20-amp circuit, so check your wiring. One detail worth knowing: the “limited lifetime” warranty is listed as 7 years on cabinetry and heaters, and 3 years on controls. See Equinox →
Pod: a sauna for one, with red light built in
A compact, one-person cabin with a rounded shape. Good for a bedroom corner or a home gym where space is tight. See Pod →
Eclipse: the full package with red light
Full-spectrum infrared plus built-in red light panels, in two- and four-person sizes. It’s the model to look at if you want red light in your sessions and don’t mind paying for it. Curious what red light in a sauna actually is? See red light saunas explained. See Eclipse →
Luminar: the outdoor infrared sauna
Built for the backyard, with an aluminum exterior and cedar interior, in two- and five-person sizes. Red light is an optional add-on. It needs a level base and, like most outdoor saunas, an electrician. See Luminar →
Nova: real Finnish heat, indoors
A traditional sauna with a heater and stones, up to 230°F according to Sun Home, in three- and six-person sizes. It’s hardwired and needs a dedicated 30-amp (3-person) or 40-amp (6-person) circuit, so plan for an electrician. See Nova →
Before you buy any of them
Check the power first. Some models run on standard 120V circuits; larger and traditional saunas need 240V wiring. Sun Home estimates an electrician at $500 to $1,500 when one is needed.
Know how delivery works. Full-size saunas arrive on a pallet by freight with curbside liftgate delivery. Moving it inside and assembling it are on you, so line up a second pair of hands.
Read the warranty by model. “Limited lifetime” can mean different coverage for the cabin, heaters and controls. Check the details for the exact model you’re buying.
Measure twice. Include the door swing and a little clearance around the cabin.
Which one would we pick?
For most people: Equinox. It’s the best balance of heat, size and price in the lineup, and it has the strongest independent review behind it.
On a tighter budget: Solstice. You give up full-spectrum heat, but you still get a real sauna room.
For the backyard: Luminar. For classic high heat and steam: Nova.
Not ready for a cabin at all? Start with sauna options for small spaces.

A sauna won’t cure anything. It’s a warm, quiet ritual that most people find deeply relaxing. Drink water, skip alcohol before a session, and if you’re pregnant, have a heart condition or take blood pressure medication, check with your doctor first.
