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!

all benefits
RECOVERY
energy
sleep
mood
Stress
chronic pain
weight loss
Performance / Recovery
Soothe muscle soreness and inflammation in order for you to recover much faster.
Better Sleep
Enhances sleep quality by calming the nervous system and reducing stress.
Elevated Energy
Increases energy levels by activating the body's natural recovery processes.
Boost Mood
Ice baths raises your baseline dopamine levels, so you're likely to experience elevated mood in your day to day.
Immune Support
Strengthens immune response, helping to fight off illnesses.
Stress / Anxiety Relief
Cold water therapy has been shown to decrease the stress hormone cortisol. This study found that regular ice baths helped massively reduce anxiety and improve the mood of participants.
Better Sleep
Enhances sleep quality by calming the nervous system and reducing stress. On average increase deep sleep and REM sleep by up to 15%.
Your body temperature increases in the sauna, it then cools down when you finish your sessions - this alerts your body to produce melatonin.
Recovery / Performance
Cold plunge benefits extend beyond the mental and chemical aspects of your body. Sports medicine has utilized cold water therapy for years to help with the active recovery of your muscles.
Elevated Energy
If you're looking to kickstart your morning or need an afternoon pick-me-up, cold plunging is an incredible way to boost your daily energy. Not only is the icy water rejuvenating, but it also triggers the release of healthy stress hormones that promote alertness. A 2 minute ice bath feels like drinking 5 cups of coffee (just without the jitters).
Better Sleep
When you dip into an ice bath, your body triggers the autonomic nervous system - the system that controls your response to stress.
When you begin to control your response to stress, you'll likely find that you begin to control your relaxation and sleep.
In short it improves sleep by lowering body temperature, reducing stress hormones, boosting mood-enhancing neurotransmitters, and activating the relaxation-focused parasympathetic nervous system.
Boosted Mood
Researchers have known for a while that plunging connects to our daily energy. In particular, there is lots of evidence that hormone imbalance can contribute to depression, meaning that a cold plunge might help to reduce depression and improve overall mood.
The release of dopamine in the brain during ice baths also further gives you that "happy" feeling which lasts for hours. Additionally, ice baths raises your baseline dopamine levels, so you're likely to experience elevated mood in your day to day.
Stress Relief
Cold water therapy has been shown to be an effective supplemental treatment for stress relief by decreasing the stress hormone cortisol. This study found that regular cold showers and ice baths helped reduce anxiety and improve the mood of participants.
Pain Relief
Consistent ice baths have been shown to generate up to 5x the baseline amount of hormones and neurotransmitters found in the body and brain that alleviate stress. This neurotransmitter can dramatically reduce inflammation and help with chronic pain.
Weight Loss
Cold water immersion also activates brown fat — tissue that helps keep the body warm and helps it control blood sugar and insulin levels. It also helps the body burn calories, which has lead to studies showing significant evidence that cold water immersion is an effective way to lose weight and burn calories.
Experience a natural high feeling like no other, while getting all these amazing health benefits. Heat therapy is hands down the best thing you can do for your health.

shipping & returns
About us
Is the Ice Pod easy to set up?
Yes, follow the instructions provided in your order, or watch this video. It should only take a couple of minutes.
How do I keep the water clean?
To keep the water clean for long periods of time, we recommend getting our Water Maintenance Pack
This Pack includes 2 months supply of our custom formulated disinfectant & cleanser you need to have perfect clean and clear water. Using these products, you'll likely not have to change your water for weeks to months.
If you don't use sanitizer in your ice bath, we recommend changing the water once per week or every 3-5 sessions.
Can it be set up outdoors?
Yes!
We engineered all our Pods to be weather and UV resistant, so you can set it up Inside or outside, even in temperatures below freezing. The insulation layer makes the water turn to ice a lot slower, but we still recommend to stir the water at least once a day to keep the water from freezing completely solid.
How long should each ice bath session be?
To get the health benefits, you'll need to stay in cold water below 59° Fahrenheit (15°C) for 3-5 minutes. Cold water therapy works best with the right combination of time and temperature. Each individual is different and some people can tolerate lower temperatures.
How much ice do I need to add?
We recommend adding 15-40lbs (7-18kg) of ice to the Ice Pod per session depending on the initial water temperature. The amount of ice needed highly depends on your tap water temperature, the climate you live in, and how cold you desire it to be. If you live in colder climates, adding ice may not even be needed.
The Ice Bricks provided in this bundle will make 36 lbs of ice.
How do I drain the Ice Pod?
The Ice Pod comes with a tap at the bottom for draining. To drain it, connect a standard garden hose or simply open the tap depending on where the pod is set up.
For draining it indoors or over longer distances, we recommend getting our 9ft IcePod Drain Hose.
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 Dry Heat 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 long does the Sauna Pod take to set up?
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 Sauna Pod as well, and a carry bag is included, so you can take it on adventures with you.
How long does the Sauna Pod take to heat up and how hot does it get?
The Sauna Pod will heat up to 185°F in 15-20 minutes.
What materials are used to make the Sauna Pod?
Beyond the 100% organic 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 long should I spend in the Sauna Pod?
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.

We get this one a lot, but the answer is surprisingly simple. Our core mission at The Pod Company is to make healthy & wellness accessible to everyone, so you don't have to spend your life savings to be able to afford a good ice bath.
Our Sauna Pod is priced significantly lower than our competitors, because we have developed it from scratch. We also negotiate the best prices with our suppliers for materials and components by ordering very large stock quantities, streamline our production process to reduce labor costs, and focus on essential features without adding unnecessary ones.
Our Sauna Pod is a high-quality and affordable option for your heat therapy needs, without the huge markup most other brands put on their wooden saunas, that end up costing $4000+ for essentially the same sauna and performance.
Yes we operate on lower margins than competitors, but our business works because we bank on customers like you raving about our products to all your friends, and how good of a deal it is - which we know you will after you try it. Our philosophy is that if we always make the best products, and always put the customer first, everything else will follow.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 21739 reviews.
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!
