Hot tubs and saunas are a great way to relax after a long day and both have been proven to provide several health benefits. Shopping for a hot tub or sauna can be a daunting task — especially if you haven't shopped for one before. With so many options, you might not be sure where to start. Fortunately, we're here to help you find the perfect hot tub or sauna for your home.
Hot tubs: there are several different types of hot tubs available for purchase on Wayfair. Key questions to answer when shopping for a hot tub are how many people will be using it at one time, and where you plan to place your hot tub. Hot tubs that can fit as few as one person to as many as eight people are available. If it will just be you and your significant other using the hot tub, a two person hot tub will work great. Most of the hot tubs on Wayfair require a water and electrical source, but if neither are viable in the area where you plan to place your hot tub, a popup hot tub might make more sense. If you do have a water and electrical source outdoors, keep in mind that some hot tubs require an electrician to install whereas others are "plug and play" and can be set up much quicker.
Once you have a sense of the type and size of hot tub that works best for you, it's also worth considering other factors that will make your experience more enjoyable. You'll find useful features like a locking cover, led lighting, and adjustable jets. Hot tubs with an ozonator will help sanitize your hot tub, while hot tubs that have a stereo will let you enjoy some relaxing music. Don't forget to check out the plethora of hot tub accessories available on Wayfair that will only add to your hot tub experience.
Saunas: saunas offer a different method of relaxation but like hot tubs, require just as much consideration and research. As with hot tubs, start your sauna search by identifying how many people will be using it at one time. Most of the saunas on Wayfair can comfortably fit between one and five people. Once you have an idea of how many people will be using the sauna, think about whether an infrared sauna or steam sauna appeals to you more. As the name implies, a steam sauna uses water that is poured over rocks and heated to produce steam, whereas an infrared sauna uses infrared waves to heat the interior and your body. Both are suitable options for those looking to relax and de-stress, but the temperature and duration you can spend in the sauna varies, so be sure to read the product information and reviews before purchasing.
Sauna accessories will help you proliferate your sauna and make day-to-day use a lot more enjoyable. Among the more popular types of sauna accessories are heaters, brushes, ladles and buckets and thermometers. To make your sauna experience more comfortable, backrests and headrests are also available. A sauna timer can be useful for knowing how long you've been in the sauna, which is especially important since too much time can actually be detrimental. A towel rack allows you to quickly grab your towel after you've used your sauna. Take time to consider which type of sauna and accessories will best suit your needs.
