How to choose a 4 person sauna
A four-person sauna is the step up from a couple's cabin. It suits a family, or two people who want room to lie down. Capacity ratings are often given as a range, such as 3–4, 4–5 or 4–6 people. A 3–4 person sauna fits four sitting upright. A 4–6 person model gives four people space to stretch out.

Infrared or traditional
Infrared cabins warm you with heater panels and run at lower air temperatures. Traditional saunas heat the room with a heater and stones, and you can throw water for steam. A four-person traditional room needs a bigger heater than a small cabin. Several here use an 8 kW stove on a 240V circuit. Use our sauna heater size calculator and read infrared vs traditional saunas before you decide.
Indoor or outdoor
Measure your space against each listing's exterior size, and leave clearance for the door. Outdoor cabins and barrels need a level base and a weatherproof roof. Barrel shapes keep the interior volume compact. See our barrel sauna buying guide, or browse outdoor saunas and indoor saunas.
Tent saunas for four
The Nova 4 tent is rated for four people and the Nova 6 for four to six. The Nova 4 listing gives a heat-up time of about 30 minutes to 200°F and a tent weight of 42 lb. Packages add the wood stove, stones, a rock basket and, at higher tiers, benches, a bucket and ladle, and a thermometer. See tent saunas and wood-fired saunas.
Power and setup
Larger electric saunas often need a dedicated 240V circuit installed by an electrician, so check each listing's electrical notes before you order. Large cabins ship freight; plan a clear path and two people for unloading. Most orders ship within 1–4 business days. For infrared-only choices, compare 3 and 4 person infrared saunas. For costs, read how much does a sauna cost.
