A portable sauna gives you real, deep sauna heat without a permanent build, an electrician or plumbing — set it up in the garden, take it to the coast, and pack it away when you're done. Our portable saunas are proper pop-up sauna tents built around genuine Finnish heat, not thin foldable boxes or infrared blankets. Choose gas (hot in about 15 minutes, no fire to tend, no smoke) or wood-fired if you love the ritual — both from a real sauna, anywhere.
Which type of portable sauna is right for you?
“Portable sauna” covers four very different things. Here's the honest version:
-
Infrared blankets — cheap and packable, but they warm your body, not the air. No löyly, not a true sauna experience.
-
Sauna boxes — a step up, but small, low-heat and usually single-person.
-
Wood-fired tents — a real sauna, but every session means chopping and lighting wood, smoke, ash and a chimney to keep clear.
-
Gas sauna tents (the upgrade) — the same rolling löyly off 20 kg of real stones, ready in ~15 minutes at the turn of a dial. No fire, no smoke, no electrician. This is what we're known for as the UK's first FinSteam partner.
Gas or wood?
Both are genuine saunas. Wood is the traditional ritual and cheaper to buy; gas removes the chore — no fire-tending, no smoke, hot in a fraction of the time — for a bit more up front. See the full wood vs gas comparison, and the real running costs by gas bottle (about £2–£3 a session).
