I originally bought a Sunstream sauna because I was tired of spending hours commuting to gyms and sauna studios just to get the routine I knew kept me healthy.
My free time was limited, my apartment wasn’t huge, and I needed a solution that actually fit real city living.

During the research for my book, Sweat, I spent a year studying the sauna industry — materials, toxins, EMF levels, heater types, and the science behind heat and recovery. What I found was that most brands were making claims they couldn’t back up.
Sunstream was different.

They’ve been building infrared saunas since 1999, with a genuinely low-toxin, low-EMF design that you don’t see in most companies. When I finally put the Mini in my apartment, it was a game changer for stress, workout recovery, mental clarity, energy, and staying healthy. People would visit and immediately ask:

“Where did you get this?”

That’s when I realized: if this could improve my life this much, it could do the same for thousands of New Yorkers and city-livers who don’t think a sauna is possible in their home.

I wanted to understand the company behind it, so I flew to Canada to meet Kevin, the founder. He’s a true sauna engineer. Someone who cares about safety, craftsmanship, and quality at a level most people never see. After spending time with him, learning how every panel is made, and understanding the family-run values behind the brand, the decision was obvious.

I partnered with Sunstream as the dedicated NYC & Miami operator so people here could finally have a trustworthy, apartment-friendly sauna they could feel confident bringing into their home.

You should ideally be nude or using 100% cotton white towels! If you must wear clothes, try and use natural fiber clothing. You don’t want to be wearing polyesters and other toxic materials, as the heat will release these into the air, which is not ideal for your detoxing experience.

The main difference is the way the saunas are heated. A traditional sauna uses a sauna stove which heats special stones. Water is then ladled onto the stones creating steam, which in turn heats up the sauna cabin. An infrared sauna uses infrared heating technology to heat the body directly. Since there is no water involved, no plumbing is required, meaning the infrared sauna cabin can be placed in any room of your house.

Anywhere from 2-7 days per week! Typical sessions are 20 minutes to an hour.
Once it’s in your home, it becomes one of the easiest wellness habits to keep.

Yes.
Delivery is coordinated specifically for NYC apartments so the sauna gets into your building and apartment smoothly and safely.

• Mini: smallest footprint, perfect for apartments, seats one comfortably.
  
• Evolve: larger interior, more room, premium glass-front look. Both use the same heaters, same materials, and same build quality.
  

Sunstream offers a Lifetime Warranty for residential use, covering the entire sauna cabin and all infrared heaters.

Just 10–15 minutes, depending on room temperature.
This is repeatedly mentioned in owner reviews.

Anywhere indoors with a level surface.
It does not require special ventilation and it can sit flush against the wall.

Sunstream uses very low-EMF and low-ELF infrared heaters and non-toxic materials that do not off-gas in your home.
Their construction avoids plywood, particleboard, synthetic glues, and other materials that can release fumes when heated.
This is a major reason people choose Sunstream over cheaper brands.

Since all of our saunas are made from untreated timber to ensure they are free of toxins, they are not suitable to be placed outside.

Yes.
Even people who struggled to sweat in other saunas say Sunstream gives them their first deep, reliable sweat.

The maximum temperature setting of our Sun Stream Saunas is 149’F (65’C). It’s important to note that the actual cabin temperature of the sauna is NOT the key factor. Unlike traditional heat & steam saunas which rely on temperature alone,  a Far Infrared Sauna heats the body directly. You can expect to sweat just as much as you would in a 190’F+ dry sauna!

A typical sauna session including heating time won’t exceed one hour. The following running costs are based on $0.45/kWh tariff from your electricity supplier:

Power Running Cost (Per Hour)

• Evolve Mini
• 1390W
• $0.64

Typically about an hour for two people.
Panels slot together cleanly like legos. No tools required!
Disassembly also works the same way, allowing for easy moving if necessary. 

Not for the Mini!The Mini runs on a standard household outlet. Nothing to upgrade, install, or rewire. Simply plug it in.

Yes. The Mini is designed specifically for small homes and apartments.
