4 Things to Know About Finnleo Saunas

By Stephanie Chabot October 26, 2020

The Finnish people have understood the powerful benefits of sauna for centuries—and they’ve been renowned for their own sauna innovation for just as long.

Enter Finnleo, a leader in both traditional and infrared saunas that you might have encountered throughout your research. The manufacturer’s parent company, TyloHelo World Group, has been based in Finland since 1919. They are the largest sauna and steam bath company in the world with a manufacturing plant in Minnesota.

Finnleo strives to deliver a safe and authentic sauna experience. According to company, they source their wood responsibly from northern forests and engineer their infrared heaters with ultra low electromagnetic field (EMF) levels.

Today, we’re exploring Finnleo’s infrared saunas to help you decide if they are the right choice for you and your lifestyle.

What Goes Into Finnleo Infrared Saunas?

For our Finnleo saunas review, we looked at the four most important areas of sauna design:

Infrared heaters
Efficiency
Wood and assembly
Luxuries and conveniences

Infrared Sauna Heaters

Finnleo infrared saunas are built with their CarbonFlex® heating panels from floor to ceiling. The carbon emitters are said to have EMF levels far below even Sweden’s strict radiation standards.

Additionally, the large size of the Finnleo sauna heaters and their exclusive EvenHeat™ system evenly distribute the heat to ensure that your entire body is warmed consistently. This produces a comfortable sauna bath and the optimal infrared wavelength.

Fast & Efficient

With the simple tap of the touchscreen control, Finnleo’s Pure Infra saunas heat up within about 10 minutes. They are also said to use up to 20% less energy than many others in the market. You can expect to pay about $3 to $5 per month for your Finnleo infrared sauna.

Wood & Assembly

Each Finnleo infrared sauna model is built completely with furniture-grade Canadian Hemlock. This includes the pre-built benches. The exterior surfaces of the sauna are finished with a biodegradable wood treatment, which makes for a sleek look and easy cleaning.

The sauna walls are pre-fabricated to allow for fast, easy assembly with no tools required. The wall panels mount onto the easy-fit base, followed by the easy-fit ceiling panel. Then comes the easy plug-in installation of the heaters, sound system, and lights. Finally, the sauna simply needs to be plugged into a 120 volt household outlet and it will be up and running.

Luxury & Convenience

Finnleo infrared saunas feature technology and conveniences to guarantee a seamless and luxurious sauna experience time after time, including:

TouchPad control system: Easily control and adjust sauna operation (on/off, time, and temperature), lighting options, and sound system
Bluetooth sound system: Relax to your favorite tunes or soundscapes
3 different lighting options: Chromotherapy, reading, and valance lighting

Whether you want to listen to your favorite music or podcast or take in a good book under the gentle reading lights, Finnleo’s Pure Infra saunas allow you to enjoy your sweat however you like.

How Do Health Mate Saunas Compare?

After our research and comparison, USA Health and Wellness has concluded that although a Finnleo sauna is a decent option, a Health Mate sauna is a stronger choice. But don’t just take our word for it, check out more about this American brand.

41-Year History

As the first to introduce an infrared sauna to the United States, Health Mate has quite the track record and experience. In fact, they have been manufacturing saunas since 1979 and has a long history of innovative, durable saunas and very happy customers.

Combination Infrared Heaters

While many claim that ceramic infrared heaters cause inconsistent heating with “cold spots” or “hot spots” throughout the sauna, Health Mate mitigates this issue by using a combination of their patented carbon and ceramic heaters.

The Tecoloy™ ceramic emitters and TruInfra carbon heaters create full-circle dual wave heat so that your entire body feels the complete benefits of infrared heating. Health Mate’s Tecoloy heater delivers up to 40% deeper penetration than the leading carbon heater and is the only one to be UL listed.

As the TruInfra and Tecoloy heaters deliver mid- and far-infrared heat, the LED panel on the ceiling produces near-infrared wavelengths for even more health benefits. Enjoy a true full-spectrum infrared experience without the wait—Health Mate has the fastest to-temperature heat time!

Extremely Low EMF

You won’t have to worry about health and safety when it comes to your Health Mate sauna, either. The manufacturer boasts ultra low EMF levels in all of their infrared saunas. They have even published the third-party test results to show just how safe these units really are.

Quality & Technology

Health Mate infrared saunas are both durable and beautiful, with an option to suit every home. Their high-quality materials and technology include:

Western Red Cedar: Responsibly sourced from Canada because of its curative, antimicrobial properties
Bluetooth: Easily play your favorite sounds, audiobooks, or podcasts.
Floor heater: Optional upgrade to maximize your sauna experience
Chromotherapy: Color light therapy for an extra soothing bath
Ergonomic benches: Adjust your seating position for the ultimate comfort.

Tyler was very helpful when I ordered my sauna. I am loving my sauna!

April F, Wisconsin

I saw an awesome deal they had online. I made a purchase and was happy. I called the company to verify delivery. I received some not so pleasant news that the sauna I wanted to purchase was already sold. The representative Tyler apologized and offered a different sauna. He sent me an email with details and I reviewed it. I admit I was a little skeptical. I then spoke with Tyler again and he gave made me a awesome deal. I must say when my sauna arrived I was verify impressed and satisfied. Thanks Tyler!

Unequaled Performance

I am pleased to provide an objective review of USA Health & Wellness, and of the Therasauna TS5753, a full spectrum infrared sauna I ordered from them on December 9, 2020 and received on January 14, 2021.

Why USA Health & Wellness?

I have been using saunas, etc. for six decades, first in Europe where I spent my teenage years, and then in the United States. I have owned a custom-built Finnish/traditional sauna, a steam bath, a hot tube, and now a full spectrum infrared sauna, and I have used all except infrared saunas in gyms, hotels, etc. Hence I did not approach my most recent purchase as a complete neophyte. Even so, I found the current market place to be rich in inflated claims, with each merchant touting his products as the best, often with unsupported claims. On the USA Health & Wellness site, Garen accurately describes the journey of trying to separate fact from fiction. It was clear that he had carefully navigated the maze I was attempting to navigate, and I determined to pursue that journey in earnest with USA Health & Wellness.

My first call was made at the end of a weekend, in the evening, in early December. To my amazement, Tyler answered the phone and explored the options with me at length. I found it remarkable that he and Garen were always available and never rushed – in the evenings, on weekends, and even on Christmas and New Year's Day when I intended only to leave messages. I posed unusual, sometimes provoking questions, to which they always replied in a forthright, informative, and affirming manner. I'm embarrassed to say that more than 100 emails have been exchanged, with them always welcoming my inquiries and occasional apprehensions. I was treated like their most important customer, as if we had been friends in college. In contrast, questions sent by email to the manufacturer, especially those with technical content, typically have been ignored or treated dismissively. On those occasions when I have been able to reach someone in customer service by phone, the individuals have been consistently welcoming and eager to help. Hence, I do not recommend email communication with the manufacturer.

During the selection and purchase process, I read everything I could find on saunas, investigating product, health, and benefit claims (including many unfounded claims by other vendors), reaching the conclusion that USA Health & Wellness had told it straight, right from the beginning. If they are guilty of anything, they are guilty of understatement (e.g. “I estimate 1 - 2 weeks (for delivery);” it arrived only three days later, and without any damage or blemishes.)

Having never used an infrared sauna and not wanting to use a publicly available sauna during the COVID-19 pandemic, I was left to the literature and to Tyler's guidance. As an extensive user of traditional saunas, my initial leanings were toward a Finnish sauna. Selecting an infrared sauna from Therasauna has proved to be a better choice. It heats up more quickly, the interior heat distribution can be customized, and it draws substantially fewer watts.

My already high confidence in USA Health & Wellness developed to a point where I was comfortable paying for the sauna by personal check (without the protection of a credit card). Tyler graciously reduced the purchase price to reflect the savings of the entire credit card fee. Tyler found other creative ways to reduce my costs without detracting in any way from the product or its quality.

Why an Infrared Sauna from Therasauna?

USA Health & Wellness offers a variety of saunas. As best I can tell, their assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of each product is accurate. Wanting a quality product with abundant room for one person and comfortable, symmetrical space for two, I selected the Theresauna TS5753. It is part of the only line of infrared saunas made entirely in the USA; along the way I have developed a healthy aversion for anything made even in part in China. Further, Therasauna has a reputation for taking exceptional pride in their workmanship. This visible surfaces are all nicely finished (the invisible, outside back wall less so).

Recently I began working with a world-class sports medicine physician in Park City, where many Olympic athletes reside and train. During my early January visit with him, I asked him about the possible relevance of a sauna to my regular exercise regimen. He immediately endorsed the idea and proceeded to tell me about the categories (and sub-categories, and sub-sub-categories) of saunas, and the advantages and disadvantages of each, concluding with his endorsement of full spectrum infrared saunas, characterizing them as the saunas of the future, all while I listened politely. His endorsement further solidified my confidence in my choice and in the guidance Tyler had provided right from the start.

How has My Sauna Performed?

One week after my sauna was assembled and usable, I spent a morning ...

American Spa Purchase

Great spa for a great price. No sales tax or delivery fees so that made it worth it right there. Some one is in the spa daily now it is cold outside. I would recommend the spa and buying it from USA Health and Wellness. The biggest catch is they will only drop it off at the drive way. You will need to get it to the final spot.

Health Mate Enrich

Awesome 😎

Health Mate Enrich 2 - 2 Person Infrared Sauna

Spectacular sauna

I have been using saunas and steam rooms on a regular basis since 1982. I never used a full spectrum sauna before. After the Healthmate 2 person sauna was delivered, my son and I, unpacked it and assembled it in an hour and a half we were in it 20 minutes later ! It is the best sauna I have ever been in! My wife and son love it as well.
