If there’s one thing we love more than a good gym session, it’s a good recovery session. At-home saunas are a great way to both relax and recover without leaving the comfort of your own space. While they’re not exactly inexpensive, we did some digging to find the best home saunas that are really worth it. Get ready to relax in 3…2…1…

The Sun Home Equinox™ is a fan-favorite for its integrated full-spectrum infrared heating system. For the uninitiated, infrared therapy can help decrease inflammation and increase the body’s metabolic rate and calorie-burning process. It’s also large enough for two people, which makes it the best infrared sauna for those post-gym dates. ($7,499)

This thermally-efficient outdoor sauna is engineered with aerospace-grade aluminum that withstands all seasons and temperatures while maintaining the perfect temperature inside. It can fit up to five people, which makes it ideal for families or couples who enjoy a good sauna session together. Plus, it won’t clash with your outdoor furniture thanks to its sleek, minimalist design. ($14,599)

This steam-based tent takes less than 10 minutes to set up and starts steaming in less than 20 minutes. It comes with a folding chair, towel hook, and remote-controlled heating unit so you start relaxing ASAP. Just pick your favorite meditation on your smart phone, place it in the waterproof protective holder, and enjoy. ($449, SaunaBox)

Talk about a creative date night. Our pick for the best two-person sauna uses high-output heaters for double wattage compared to other brands for a quick, effective sauna session. It also has built-in chromotherapy lighting that uses colors from the sun’s visible light for added benefits. ($6,799)

This one-person sauna is great for anyone who lives alone or in tighter spaces. It has all the same benefits as the other saunas — like far infrared wavelengths, medical-grade chromotherapy lighting, and high-powered heaters — but in a smaller, more approachable size. It stands at just over 6 feet tall and nearly 2 feet wide, which makes it ideal for corner or hallway spaces. ($6,199)

At under $300, this foldable at-home sauna is a more approachable option if you're sauna-curious and on a stricter budget. It has nine different heat levels and folds up neatly when not in use (just be aware of the PVC pipe set that holds it up). It’s also pretty compact in size, so you can keep it in a corner of a bedroom, bathroom, or home gym. ($158.99, Amazon)

There’s a reason you’ve been seeing this HigherDose portable sauna blanket everywhere — it’s that good. Its layered material emits negative ions to help you relax and feel restored, while the far-infrared heat supports skin health. We also love how easy it is to roll up and pack while traveling on the go. Pro tip: be sure to wear long sleeves, pants, and socks during your sauna session, or add their reusable towel insert to cart. ($499, HigherDose)

This is the crème de la crème of home saunas. The red light therapy, far infrared wavelengths, Bluetooth and smartphone connectivity, and patented EMF-mitigating technology make The Sun Home Pod the best single person sauna. Unlike their other saunas, we love that this one has a unique round design, which will make it look more built-in (and dare we say, chic?) within your space. ($8,499)
