This guide covers the best infrared sauna for bathroom use, comparing four portable steam tents by steamer size, heat levels, red light and safety features.

Score notes
The Chill Score weighs performance, build and value most, with safety where it applies, and warranty. Here, performance covers steamer size and wattage, heat levels, timer range and red light. No listing states an electrical safety listing or a warranty term, so safety scores rest on the stated safeguards alone and warranty is zero for all.
| Product | Chill Score | Perf. /35 | Build /25 | Value /25 | Safety /10 | Warranty /5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ABSCONDO Sauna Tent | 9.6 | 32 | 21 | 21 | 5 | 0 |
| Garvee 2 Person Sauna | 9.6 | 30 | 21 | 21 | 5 | 0 |
| RBOICO Portable Sauna | 9.5 | 29 | 20 | 20 | 4 | 0 |
| UNANEST Steam Sauna | 9.4 | 26 | 19 | 20 | 0 | 0 |
Scores run from 9.2 to 9.8: each product’s point total is placed on that range, so more points always means a higher score.
The ABSCONDO tent leads on features: two steamers, two chairs and the longest list of safety features stated. The Garvee tent is the roomiest at 35 x 48 x 71 in. The RBOICO tent is the only single-person pick with a stated wattage, and the UNANEST tent is the simplest, with a 3L steamer and no stated wattage or safety features.
Check Your Space First
- The Garvee tent measures 35 x 48 x 71 in, the largest footprint here; the other three measure 31.0 to 35.4 in square.
- Heights run from 70.8 in to 71 in, so check the ceiling and any shower rail above the spot.
- Only the Garvee listing states a weight, 25.0 lb; the other three state none, so plan help to move a folded tent.
- Steam tents put moisture in the air: run the bathroom fan and keep the tent clear of the shower head and any outlet.
- All four fold for storage, so measure the closet or shelf where the folded tent will live.
Common questions
Can I put a portable sauna in a bathroom?
Yes. The RBOICO listing says the tent can be used in a bedroom, living room or bathroom, and the ABSCONDO listing names bathrooms among the places it suits. Check the footprint against the corner, run the bathroom fan for the steam, and keep the tent clear of the shower head and any outlet.
How much electricity does a portable sauna use?
Two of the four state wattage: the RBOICO steamer is 1500W, and the ABSCONDO tent has two 1200W steamers. The UNANEST and Garvee listings state no wattage, so their running cost cannot be worked out from the listing.
How long does a portable sauna take to heat up?
Only the ABSCONDO listing gives times: the highest temperature can reach 130 degrees Fahrenheit within 5 to 10 minutes, and the tent can fill with steam within 5 minutes. The other three listings say the steamer heats quickly without giving a time.
What is the red light in these saunas?
The ABSCONDO and Garvee listings state 660nm red light and 850nm near-infrared light. The RBOICO listing writes the light as 660-850mm, where the other listings write 660nm and 850nm. The UNANEST listing states a built-in red light without giving wavelengths.
Do I need a chair inside the tent?
Every tent here includes one: the RBOICO and UNANEST tents include a folding chair, and the ABSCONDO and Garvee tents include 2 folding chairs. A chair keeps you seated at the right height for the steam, and it folds away with the tent.
