We offer various types of saunas, such as infrared and traditional saunas, along with different sizes and features. If you're unsure, please reach out to our customer service team for guidance on selecting the best sauna for your lifestyle.

How long should I stay in the sauna?

For most individuals, 15-20 minutes per sauna session is optimal. However, the duration may vary depending on your comfort level and sauna type. Beginners should start with shorter sessions and gradually increase the time as they become accustomed to the heat.

Do I need any special equipment or accessories for sauna use?

While saunas are typically effective on their own, there are several accessories you might find useful, such as sauna towels, thermometers, seat cushions, and essential oils for an enhanced experience. We offer a variety of sauna accessories in our store to make your sessions more comfortable.

How do I maintain my sauna?

To maintain your sauna, regular cleaning and proper ventilation are key. We recommend wiping down surfaces after each use, cleaning the heater regularly, and ensuring the sauna is dry when not in use. For more detailed maintenance instructions, refer to the user manual provided with your sauna.

Is sauna use safe for everyone?

Sauna use is generally safe for most healthy individuals. However, if you have specific medical conditions (e.g., cardiovascular issues, skin conditions, or respiratory concerns), it's important to consult your healthcare provider before using a sauna. Pregnant women and children should also exercise caution and consult with a doctor.

How long does it take for a sauna to heat up?

Heating times vary depending on the type and size of the sauna. Infrared saunas typically heat up faster, usually in about 10-20 minutes, while traditional saunas may take 30-40 minutes to reach the desired temperature.

Can I install a sauna myself?

Some saunas, particularly portable or pre-assembled models, can be installed by yourself with minimal effort. However, larger or more complex installations may require professional help. Always refer to the installation instructions provided with your sauna, or contact us for assistance in choosing a professional installer.

What is the difference between infrared and traditional saunas?

Infrared saunas use infrared heaters to directly warm your body, leading to a gentler, more intense sweat at lower temperatures (usually between 120°F to 150°F). Traditional saunas use heated air to warm the body, operating at higher temperatures (typically 150°F to 190°F). Both offer unique benefits, so the choice depends on personal preference.

Can I use essential oils in my sauna?

We recommend using an essential oil diffuser designed for sauna use or placing a few drops on a towel. Be sure to follow all safety guidelines to avoid skin irritation or damage to the sauna's wood.

Do saunas require a lot of electricity to run?

While sauna energy usage depends on the type, size, and frequency of use, most saunas are designed to be energy-efficient. Infrared saunas typically consume less energy than traditional saunas.

Cold Plunges Frequently Asked Questions

Collapsible content

What is a cold plunge, and what are the benefits?

A cold plunge involves immersing your body in cold water, typically at temperatures between 40°F to 60°F (4°C to 15°C). It is known for its therapeutic benefits, including improved circulation, reduced muscle soreness, faster recovery, stress relief, enhanced immune function, and mental clarity. Cold plunges are commonly used by athletes and wellness enthusiasts for recovery and overall health.

How long should I stay in a cold plunge?

For beginners, it’s recommended to start with 1-3 minutes and gradually increase the duration as your body adapts. Advanced users can typically handle 5-10 minutes. Listen to your body and never stay too long if you feel uncomfortable or chilled beyond a safe level.

Is it safe to use a cold plunge?

Cold plunges are generally safe for most healthy individuals, but it's important to approach with caution. People with heart conditions, high blood pressure, or other serious medical issues should consult a healthcare provider before using a cold plunge. Pregnant women and children should also avoid cold plunges unless advised otherwise by a medical professional.

How does a cold plunge help with muscle recovery?

Cold plunges help reduce inflammation and muscle soreness by constricting blood vessels and reducing metabolic activity. Once you exit the cold water, blood flow returns to the tissues, helping flush out toxins and bringing fresh oxygen and nutrients to the muscles, which speeds up recovery.

Can I use a cold plunge after a workout?

Yes, cold plunges are especially beneficial after intense workouts, as they help reduce muscle soreness, inflammation, and fatigue. Cold exposure aids in faster recovery and can help you feel rejuvenated for your next workout.

How do I prepare for a cold plunge?

Before entering a cold plunge, it’s helpful to warm up your body with light movement or stretching. Start slowly by easing your body into the cold water, and breathe deeply to help you manage the initial shock. Always make sure you are in a safe environment and never plunge alone without someone nearby.

What temperature should my cold plunge be?

The optimal temperature for a cold plunge is typically between 40°F and 60°F (4°C - 15°C). For beginners, aim for the higher end of this range, and as your body gets used to cold exposure, you can try colder temperatures.

How do I maintain the cold plunge?

To maintain your cold plunge, it’s important to keep the water clean and regularly check the temperature. You may need to change the water occasionally, depending on usage, or use a filtration system to help keep the water clear and free from contaminants. Refer to the specific maintenance instructions provided with your cold plunge product.

Can I install a cold plunge myself?

Cold plunge tubs generally require minimal installation, but depending on the model, you may need to connect a filtration system or water source. Some models are ready to use straight out of the box. Always refer to the installation manual for instructions, and feel free to contact us if you need assistance.

Can I use a cold plunge in the winter?

Yes, cold plunges can be used year-round, and many users enjoy taking advantage of the colder temperatures during winter months. However, make sure to maintain the water quality and check the temperature regularly to ensure a safe and comfortable experience.

Can I use essential oils or additives in my cold plunge?

It’s generally recommended to avoid adding oils or other additives to the water in your cold plunge, as they can clog filters or damage the system. However, you can enjoy aromatherapy by using essential oils outside the plunge or in your surrounding space.

What size cold plunge should I choose?

The size of your cold plunge depends on how many people will be using it and your available space. If you plan to use the plunge alone or with one other person, a smaller model may suffice. Larger models are available for multiple users. Always measure your space carefully before purchasing to ensure a good fit.

How do I clean my cold plunge?

To clean your cold plunge, you should regularly check the water for debris, use a filtration system if applicable, and periodically change the water. You can also clean the tub itself with a gentle soap solution and a soft cloth to prevent buildup of dirt or oils. Refer to the manual for detailed cleaning instructions based on your model.

Is a cold plunge the same as an ice bath?

Yes, a cold plunge is similar to an ice bath in that both involve immersing your body in cold water. While an ice bath may have ice added to it to make the water colder, a cold plunge typically involves water at a controlled, cold temperature that may or may not require ice.

Can I use a cold plunge if I have a health condition?

If you have conditions like heart disease, high blood pressure, or other serious health issues, it's important to consult with your doctor before using a cold plunge. Cold exposure can be intense, and medical guidance ensures you’re using it safely.

How long does it take to cool down the water in a cold plunge?

Cooling time depends on the volume of water and the cooling system used. Some cold plunge systems have built-in cooling units that quickly bring the temperature down. Generally, you can expect it to take anywhere from a few hours to overnight for the water to reach the desired cold temperature.

How often should I change the water in my cold plunge?

The frequency of water changes depends on the usage and filtration system of your cold plunge. If you use the plunge regularly, it's a good idea to change the water every few weeks or months. If you're using a filtration system, it can help keep the water clean between changes.

How can I improve my cold plunge experience?

You can enhance your cold plunge experience by practicing breathing techniques, such as controlled deep breathing, to help manage the shock of the cold water. You can also incorporate meditation or mindfulness to relax your mind and body while immersed in the cold plunge.
