THE DIFFERENCE IS CLEAR.
Steam saunas are often cheap, made from plastic, and barely reach 125°F. Wooden saunas are bulky, expensive, and don’t actually deliver a better heat experience. The Sauna Pod changes everything - it's compact, powerful, and designed for maximum performance. That's hot air up to 185°F in a sleek pod made from 100% natural cotton.

How much will I save on ice?
Assuming each ice bath session requires around 15-40lbs of ice, and with an average cost of $3 per 10lbs, we have calculated that at 5 ice baths per week, the chiller cost is made back in 3-4 months. Investing in the water chiller is undoubtedly a smart financial & time saving decision if you're a regular ice plunger, plus you skip the hassle of buying ice.
Which Chiller is right for you based on where you live?
Is the Chiller gonna run up my electricity bill?
No! The Power usage is only 280 watt, which is comparable to the freezer in your home.
Example of power usage: at 77°F (25°C) room temperature, and Chiller temperature set at 46°F (8°C) will consume around 1.4-1.8 kWh per day (every 24 hours). With today's average kWh in the USA costing $0.35, that is just around $0.5 at per day in electricity cost to run The Pod Chiller 24/7. (These are estimates and can vary depending on the climate and temperatures where you live).

So rare these days to find a product online that isn’t over promising and under delivering. the saunapod delivers! Incredible quality, no plastic smells, premium cotton garment, sauna heats up to 185F as advertised, super comfortable chair I could go on. I’ll usually only write online reviews when it’s a negative one, but credit where credit is due, this sauna is an amazing invention, truly the same experience as a wooden sauna, you have all my respect well done, game changer!
Alberto C
What a game changing product for the price. True 180F+ temperature makes this great for your health I will Sauna then straight to the Pod Company cold tub.
Jacob H
I had been looking for a sauna for a while and took a chance on this one. It was a great choice it actually gets really hot up to 185 deg which is much better than a lot of other portable options. I don’t think you’ll find any other options that are better for the price. Would definitely recommend!
Derek V
The Sauna Pod has been amazing so far. It gets to 185F very quickly (15ish minutes) and at 6’4” 200 lbs I still fit in it comfortably. The “window” off of the front allows me to watch my TV in my garage where I set mine up. Easy to clean, takes up minimal space, and works as well as any sauna I have been in before. Actually, this gets hotter than other larger, more expensive wooden/glass saunas priced $2500+. You rocked it with this product!
Chris L
Get super hot it’s not some wimpy infrared sauna this thing is the real deal
Michael N
Really loving the sauna! Heats up to 185 very quickly and was very reasonably priced
Clayton B
Blown away by this product. Super effective, get a crazy sweat, so much better than the sauna blanket I was using. I am incredibly impressed so far.
How is the Sauna Pod different to other portable saunas on the market?
Unlike steam saunas and "sweat tents" that often use cheap polyester materials (which can release toxic gases when heated), our sauna is designed to prioritize your health. Made with 100% natural black cotton inside and out, with cotton insulation between the layers.
You can expect the Sauna Pod to heat up to 185°F, unlike steam saunas that only reach about 113°F, which aren't even sufficient temperatures to unlock the scientific proven sauna health benefits. The Sauna Pod is the world's first portable hot air sauna able to reach these temperatures. It's a dry sauna that mirrors authentic Finnish practice. We spent over 18 months testing out this product to create the ultimate solution for heat therapy.
How does the Sauna get hot?
It's a hot air based system, heat is generated from our patent pending electric heater, think of it as a miniature version of a regular sauna stove. No steam or water is needed, providing genuine heat without the dampness and moisture.
How hot does the Sauna Pod get?
It heats up to 185°F, unlike portable steam saunas that only reach about 113°F
Can it be used both Indoor & Outdoor?
Yes! It's made for indoor use, but also can be enjoyed as an outdoor sauna. If you live in a colder climate (especially when below freezing) we recommend bringing your Sauna Pod inside during that season. The same applies for rain, the outside material is waterproof but excessive rainfall or storms could damage it over time. It's also a portable sauna, pack it up and take it with you as the setup process is simple and quick.
How do you power the Sauna Pod?
Operates with a standard US plug at 110 volts.
How long does the Sauna Pod take to heat up?
The Sauna Pod will heat up to 185°F in 15-20 minutes.
How long does the Sauna Pod take to setup?
It should only take about 5-10 minutes to set up your Sauna Pod, unlike other products on the market. Saunas costing thousands of dollars will take multiple hours to set up and often require specialist tools.
It is also just as simple to take down the SaunaPod as well, and a carry bag is included, so you can take it on adventures with you.
Is the Sauna Pod gonna run up my electricity bill?
No, it won't.
The Sauna Pod uses 1500 watt per hour, which equates to $0.25-0.50 (depending on your electricity prices). This means each sauna session will cost you less than a dollar.
How much noise does the Sauna Pod make?
The Sauna Pod makes as much noise as a small fan, it's energy efficient and very quiet.
What materials are used to make the Sauna Pod?
Beyond the 100% natural cotton used for the majority of the Pod, the Sauna is also made up of the following material.
The window is food grade TPU, which is designed for temperatures up to 220°F and free from BPAs / phthalates / and other bad chemicals. It's a transparent silicone (used in food products too so it's the highest possible grade). It is odorless with zero toxic chemicals
The PVC floor is made from the same material as the window
The Heater is mainly made from metal, with an ABS plastic rim (free from any harmful chemicals) and rated for temperatures above 300°F+ (it's the same type of hard plastic that is used in water boilers / kettles)
How is heat distributed around the Sauna Pod?
The Sauna Pod's compact design, standing at 170 cm, ensures even, consistent heat throughout the entire space. With our powerful heater there's no risk of uneven heat distribution or heat escaping from the top of the Pod. After the recommended 20 minute warm-up period, the temperature is consistent from top to bottom, providing a perfect experience every time.
What are the health benefits of saunas?
Regular sauna use promotes intense sweating, which plays a crucial role in regulating body temperature and flushing out toxins, while also boosting circulation, reducing inflammation, supporting the immune system, and enhancing cardiovascular health. Additionally, the heat exposure stimulates the release of endorphins, helping to reduce stress, improve mood, and accelerate muscle recovery, making it an excellent practice for overall well-being and longevity.
See the sauna benefits section for a detailed breakdown
How long should I spend in the sauna?
We recommend sessions to be 15-30 minutes. If you're a regular sauna user, you may be able to stay longer. It is unlikely that you'll experience more significant health benefits by staying inside for longer as your body will have cleared out the majority of harmful toxins inside the body through sweating within the first 10-15 min.
Who cannot use the Sauna Pod?
If you have a high sensitivity to heat, have a fever, have a condition that inhibits your ability to sweat or have a pacemaker or defibrillator- we don't recommend using our sauna.
Infrared vs hot air sauna
An infrared sauna is a type of sauna that uses light to make heat. This type of sauna is sometimes called a far-infrared sauna. "Far" describes where the infrared waves fall on the light spectrum. A regular Finnish sauna uses electric conduction heat to warm the air, which in turn warms your body.
An infrared sauna heats your body directly without warming the air around you. Studies have shown that hot air saunas are healthier for your body long term, and most longevity studies with proven health benefits are around Finnish/hot air saunas with higher temperatures, which is why we choose this heating option for the SaunaPod.
What EMF does the Sauna Pod generate?
Our patent pending heater uses resistance coils to generate heat. The current passing through these coils produces low-frequency electromagnetic fields (similar to other household appliances like hairdryers and electric stoves). It's impossible to get 0 EMF, but the SaunaPod heater is on the low end and would be classified as a Low-EMF appliance.
Does the red light in the Sauna Pod have any functional benefit?
The red light in our Sauna Pod is a regular red LED strip that improves the ambiance during a session.
It is not red light therapy, which requires specific wavelengths to be effective (typically between 600 to 850 nm).
Regular red LED strips are not designed for therapeutic purposes.
How do you recommend cleaning the Sauna Pod?
The Sauna Pod features a PVC flooring material that is easy to wipe clean, ensuring effortless maintenance. The chair is constructed from a durable fabric that is also designed for easy cleaning. Additionally, the cotton fabric of the sauna itself is treated with a wax coating, making it liquid-repellent. This prevents the absorption of sweat and humidity, allowing for simple wipe-down cleaning.
We also recommend leaving the compartment door open after use so that the unit gets proper ventilation
Can I buy the Sauna Pod heater separately?
No, the Sauna Pod heater is only available as part of the complete Sauna Pod system.
The heater is specifically designed to work with our 100% cotton Sauna Pod, ensuring the safest and most effective sauna experience. Most other sauna tents are made from polyester or nylon, which can release toxic chemicals at high temperatures. Using the heater outside of the Sauna Pod would also reduce its efficiency and overall performance.
To achieve the best results, we recommend the full Sauna Pod system, which is engineered for optimal heat distribution, safety, and durability.
What is a dry sauna?
A dry sauna generates heat by an electric heater or wooden stove. Unlike steam saunas, it has very low humidity.
What does a sauna do?
A sauna will:
Raise your body temperature
Induce sweating, helping with temporary fluid loss
Increase circulation, benefiting muscle recovery and joint mobility
Provide stress relief
Does a sauna burn calories?
Yes, a sauna can burn calories. As your heart rate is elevated during a sauna session the body will work hard to remain cool. You can burn between 100 - 200 calories an hour in the sauna.
I’ve been using The Pod Company’s products for years, long before we decided to work together. Training has always been a huge part of my life so I take recovery very seriously. My daily sauna and ice bath routine keeps me feeling my absolute best, and The Pod Company makes it possible to get that pro-level recovery at home.
Glad I made this purchase, keeps water at 46 degrees in the 109 degree heat even when the sun is on it. Great product, great price, helped with my depression massively.

Pod company exceeded my expectations. Not only does it provide instant relief for tired muscles and joint pain, but i feel so much happier throughout the day
Game changer! I've tried similar ice baths in the $5000+ price range but would pick this one any day! Cools down to the advertised 39F and water is always clean. such good value!

After testing the IcePod, we can confidently say that Pod Company arguably makes the most affordable, yet premium ice baths that allows anyone to get into cold therapy without spending their life savings.
So stoked Pod Company was open to break a world record with me for the worlds highest ice bath ever at 10.000ft under a hot air balloon. You don't need to do the same to feel this high though! 8.5m Followers

Update: The warranty team reach out to understand the issue and hopefully get down to the root cause of the issue. They issued a replacement. Great customer service. As far as the function of the jet, it's great to keep water moving and keep the temperature the same throughout the tub.
The articulating arm attached between the fan and the base is oddly shaped, creating a weak point when adjusting the fan. Mine broke off easily, which made me think it was either already fractured or there is a QA/QC issue.
Original: Have the pod consistently work? I love this pod when it works, but its so inconsistent. One day it works great for about 30 minutes. The next day it stops around minute 25 and won't heat. Then will work for a day or two and then break again.
Updated: THis is the mark of great customer service. THey saw the issue (see video), and addressed it quickly and sent me another one. No issues currently - it works as promised and I really love my pod.
We host running camps all summer long. I believe we are one of the largest running camps in the country. Bought 10 of them. Kids love them! I’ve had a couple of coaches mention they want to buy some for their program. Even had kids say they are gonna talk to their parents about getting one.
Great Products, long pod is the perfect size to have your legs fully extended. The chiller is the perfect combination to keep you water cold and clean. An improvement would be to specific instructions regarding using hose clamps and rubber fittings placement, initially setup was leaking. I made adjustments and got it corrected. Skimmer needs even smaller holes or made some type of liner to get the smaller debris. 10/10 Recommend!
The cold plunge after getting out of the sauna pod is amazing. I feel the difference all over especially in my bad hip. Great product and affordable. I needed this years ago.
I absolutely love the ultra cover set! This is one of the best add-ons ever! Keeps the water colder and clear for longer! If you have not purchased this cover, do it now! You’ll love it. I live in the mountains of Arizona, and this also helps to keep out any unwanted guests and dust!
I’ve had such great success with the pod company. Great customer service and always willing to help get you in the cold water! This practice has literally changed my life for the better!
Relatively easy to assemble by myself. Cranked the heat and spent a lovely 30 min meditating and relaxing. Burst of energy afterwards was amazing. It is great that something done for ‘me time’ is also affordable and good for me. I will be adding it several times. Thanks Sauna Pod for the opportunity to do a quality dry heat sauna experience at home. Now I can’t wait to try out the cold plunge!!
So far so good - still trying to figure out the most economical way to cool it down without getting a chiller since I won’t need that in the winter. The 6 ice blocks don’t make a dent in the 126 gallon long pod. Additionally, if you use it every day, the water probably won’t last 5-6 weeks or you need to use more water stabilizer. My water was gross after 1 week and I shower before each plunge.
We had a pod and were just using ice for months and it was incredibly inconvenient. After purchasing the chiller we have been able to plunge daily and it so nice not having to worry about buying ice every day!
We love having an ice bath as a recovery tool! We have always had a tub at our house but now we live in a converted school bus and this thing is perfect! It allows us to have our ice bath on the road! It packs up small and sets up easy. We love this thing!
It's been extremely convenient to be able to set up a quality ice bath pod in my garage where there is limited space. This ice bath pod is the real deal and has done wonders for my post workout recovery. Highly recommend the The Pod Company!
We Bought this for our son’s birthday. He is so excited to have it and he has used it several times. States he feels it is helping with inflammation he is experiencing and is so happy with it. Right now he buys bags of ice to keep it cold and I bought him the insulated lid that helps to keep the water still icy the next day. Thank you for creating a great product!
I use this daily. It’s now a part of my regular routine. The health benefits are great. I also have a child with back pains and she uses it to help her deal with that.
Required adding some of the included O rings to prevent leaks which isn't included in setup directions. Started right up and no issues. Down to temp and staying where required. Perfect
Love this cold plunge! Easy set up, and chiller works great! We keep water at 50 degrees. Cools fast and stays cold. We also got the topper and extra padding around it. We live in TX and it has been great with the higher temps. Highly recommend!!
This came free as part of a bundle I purchased. It does take up freezer space, but great to not have to buy ice or pour ice from fridge/freezer. I wouldn’t have purchased this separately initially, but super glad it came with my bundle purchase.
At first I didn't put Teflon tape on all of the threads and air was getting into the filter compartment somehow. So the water would only be an inch or so above the bottom. I took everything apart and redid all the connections with Teflon tape and now the water sits near the top. It cools down really well, I haven't even set it to the lowest temperature yet. I did buy an ozone generator that I drop in and run for about 30 minutes after I get out to help keep it sanitary.
The sauna is awesome, I’m using it every morning, also the ice pod is great too.
My suggestion for the sauna would to put a chair that is taller because the good heat rises and, for me it takes a while for the hottest heat to get to my full body!
Also I emailed you about a mystery gift that I never received and that was apparently worth $1197
Can you please get back to me on this!
Thank you 🙏
The dry heat makes me feel extremely relaxed. I have tried it mornings prior to work and evenings prior to bed. The sleep quality at night is better with the down regulating of my core temperature. I feel like any inflammation is lowered in my muscles as well.
My wife and I absolutely love this Ice Pod. It has been perfect for both of us, and we use it regularly as part of our recovery and wellness routine. The size is ideal, giving plenty of room to comfortably enjoy cold plunges without feeling cramped.
One of the biggest things that impressed us is the quality of the materials. The walls are very strong and sturdy, and the construction feels much more durable than we expected. It holds its shape extremely well and feels like it will last for many years with proper care.
Setup was quick and easy, and the included cover helps keep the water clean between uses. Whether you're using it for muscle recovery, cold therapy, or simply improving your daily routine, this Ice Pod delivers exactly what it promises.
It would also make a fantastic gift for anyone interested in fitness, wellness, cold plunging, or overall health. My wife and I have both enjoyed it tremendously, and it's become part of our regular routine.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a durable, well-built cold plunge that offers excellent value for the money.
The husband loves his Father's Day gift and it is perfect after a good workout, long days hike, or just need to relax. I will say this, the instructions on this was really badly written! What should have taken about 15 mins to set up took me a few hours. Trying to read what was written made no sense so much that I just went to the back looked at the overall picture and had it figured out in minutes. Other than that this chiller is perfect.
Fathers day gift that has done wonders for my 50 year self. Its Help with back pain shoulder pain all the pain. 4-5 times week 3 minutes each session. Love it!!
As someone who’s very intentional about what I bring into my routine this Sauna Pod checks all the boxes.
It heats up quickly, it’s super easy to set up, and the design makes it actually enjoyable to use consistently. The materials feel safe and well made, which is huge for me because heat + low-quality materials is a non-negotiable. I’ve been using it as part of my daily routine for detox, recovery, and relaxation.
What I love most is that I don’t need a full spa setup to get the benefits of sauna therapy. This makes it accessible, practical, and something I can actually stay consistent with which is everything when it comes to longevity.
If you’re taking your wellness seriously this is 100% worth it.
I’m 6’1 and I have a hard time standing up because the chair is so low and replaced it with a bar stool and that works much better. Wish it would get hotter in the morning but I’m still learning about how the outdoor temperature effects on high it will go. On a warm day it reached over 190 degrees, but in the mornings it’s between 160 to 170 and that feels good. So far very happy with this.
• How installation felt (fit)
• it feels more secure
• Any concerns (extra sharp edge of metal connector)
• Anything else you notice compared to the previous connector: I am curious to see how tension will be distributed around the frame, when all the frame is plastic and connector is metal.
Cover is thick, fits well, and improves the tub's overall appearance. From my limited use so far, the cover does keep the water temp cooler for a longer period of time
I was going to get a larger more expensive wood one that i have experience with but the reviews on this pod were worth checking out. I love it so far. Easy to set up and use. Heat is fast and great. Love this so far 🥳
After reading the synopsis of the recent 20 year Finish study regarding sauna time and reduced mortality and morbidity - we knew we had to get ourselves a sauna! We have neither the room nor the finances for a large, wooden structure (3 kids in college - they eat up both space and money) so I started the search for the perfect portable sauna.
I looked at steam, infrared and dry heat (aka The Pod). It came down to infrared v. dry and frankly the reviews of The Pod won us over.
We found a space, put it together and have enjoyed a few sessions. I will say - we goofed when putting it together and cannot get the zipper all the way closed (we’ll fix that this weekend) so we can’t get up to 185° yet. We still sweat a bit but can’t wait to max it out.
I feel great after a session. I leave my phone outside - this is ME time. I just sit back, relax and let the toxins go. I haven’t put in the time to swear to faster recovery times but my son is a lifter (benches 315, box squats 695, etc) he says he feels much better after a sauna session.
It’s early on and the jury is still out but I think it’s the best anniversary gift my husband and I have ever invested in (and it’s the 29th gift!).
Love it! I already have the sauna pod and wanted to complete my recovery setup. It’s so easy to put together, durable, and well made. I didn’t get the chiller but the ice blocks work great!! Definitely recommend!
