6 Person Saunas

A 6-person sauna typically requires a minimum space of 6’ x 8’ (1.83m x 2.44m), with a typical height of around 78 inches (6’ 6”). This size ensures each person has ample room to sit comfortably and allows for proper ventilation. For added comfort, look for saunas with at least 2 feet of space for exterior benches, providing extra room for relaxation. Keep in mind that the size can vary slightly depending on the brand and design, but this is a good guideline for finding a spacious and comfortable 6-person sauna.

The dimensions of a 6-person sauna typically measure 74” x 67” x 78” (1.88m x 1.70m x 1.98m) or 6’ x 8’ (1.83m x 2.44m). These measurements provide enough space for six people to sit comfortably, with additional room for easy movement. The design may vary slightly depending on the model, but these standard dimensions ensure a spacious experience.

A traditional sauna uses steam or hot rocks to generate heat, creating a humid, enveloping atmosphere. In contrast, a 6-person infrared sauna uses infrared light to heat the body directly, offering a more targeted experience. The infrared heat penetrates deeper into muscles, improving muscle recovery, promoting detoxification, and enhancing circulation. Both types offer benefits, but infrared saunas are typically better for those looking for deeper therapeutic heat.

The cost to run a 6-person sauna can vary based on the model, wattage, and how often you use it. Typically, infrared saunas with 6kW heaters cost around $25 to $50 per month when used 3 to 5 times a week. Regular use of 2-3 sessions per week may lower costs, while using it daily could increase your monthly energy usage. It’s important to check the specific wattage of your sauna to estimate the cost more accurately based on local electricity rates.
