If you're planning to get a home sauna, you'll first need to decide whether to get one that uses infrared technology or one that is steam based. You will also need to decide whether you prefer one that is portable. Let's briefly look more closely at these two points:
Steam Saunas vs. Infrared Saunas: Steam saunas rely on getting the air hot so the heat can penetrate your skin. But, saunas that use FAR infrared technology (infrared radiation with a wavelength of 8 to 15 microns) achieve a much deeper skin penetration than steam saunas. Indeed, FAR infrared waves can penetrate the skin all the way to the subcutaneous fatty layer where most of the toxins and harmful chemicals are stored. As a result, you sweat out much more of your accumulated toxins and unhealthy chemicals than in a steam sauna. Infrared saunas are also very easy to maintain because they are much drier than steam saunas, and therefore they have much less risk of contamination by bacteria or mold. The health benefits of FAR infrared saunas are widely recognized. They include weight loss, improved skin tone, joint pain relief, increased blood circulation, enhanced immune system, reduced stress and fatigue, and increased overall energy levels. Portable vs. Fixed Saunas: Portable saunas have the advantage of being usable in any room of your home as long as you have a regular electrical outlet to connect them to. Some portable saunas that have a foldable frame (like the Radiant sauna considered below) can be deployed in minutes, and when unused, they can be folded and stored away with minimum effort. Therefore, they are ideal for small apartments. Other saunas that are larger and made of wood (like the JNH Lifestyles considered below) take longer to install, but can still be considered as portable in the sense that they are not permanently anchored to the floor or any walls. They can be moved around as long as you disassemble the sauna before moving it to its new location and then reassemble it. Of course, a major advantage of portable saunas of either type over fixed saunas is that whenever you move, you can take them along to your new home just like any other appliance. This article will focus on infrared portable saunas precisely because of the advantages just listed and because they are currently extremley popular. We will describe and compare Radiant BSA6315 Harmony (1-Person) and JNH Lifestyles (2-Person) FAR infrared home saunas. These were not just the most popular among Amazon customers at the time this article was written, but they had also received excellent reviews from most Amazon buyers (an average of 4.5 stars each out of 5 stars!).

The JNH Lifestyes FAR infrared sauna was the second most popular at the time this article was written (the picture shows a 2-person unit). It is not as easily portable as the Radiant sauna described above, because it does not fold when unused. But it can still be considered as portable, as it is easy to break apart to transport to other locations when necessary and to reassemble thanks to its unique patented "Tools-Free Design" - simply buckle the panels together and you're done! Clearly, its main advantage of over the Radiant sauna is its size and spaciousness that allow for company and more comfort. Here are the main features that it offers:

So which of the two saunas is best for you?
So, if you have decided to get a portable infrared home sauna, you may now be wondering which of the two considered above will best respond to your needs. Clearly, if you have a small apartment, you may better off with the Radiant sauna since it's smaller. Basically, you can use it in any room as long as there is an electrical outlet, and when done, you can simply fold it down and store under your bed or anywhere else. Note however that if you prefer the JNH Lifestyles sauna described above and you live in a small home, you could always consider getting it in 1-person size, which comes with the same features as the 2-person unit.
The main advantage of JNH Lifestyles over Radiant is of course its size which provides the user with additional comfort and possibly with some company, when the 2-person model is chosen. It even comes with all you need to enjoy your favorite music while relaxing in the sauna. Also, in a JNH Lifestyles sauna, your face and hands remain within the sauna and hence your whole body can experience the benefits of the sauna listed above, which is not the case when you sit in a Radiant sauna.
Price and warranty are other considerations to keep in mind. Even though JNH Lifestyles saunas cost a lot more than Radiant saunas, they come with a 5-year warranty.
Otherwise, both saunas are excellent portable FAR infrared saunas, solidly built, well insulated that you should normally be very satisfied with.
