Top 10 Mistakes to Avoid When Buying an Infrared Sauna
Most people don’t realize they’ve made a mistake when buying an infrared sauna until it’s too late.
They get excited, find a deal online, and place an order—only to end up with a sauna that doesn’t heat properly, emits high EMFs, or, even worse, starts off-gassing toxic chemicals when it’s turned on.
If you’re about to buy a home infrared sauna, avoid these 10 costly mistakes so you don’t end up regretting your decision.
At Biohackn, we’ve spent years perfecting the best full spectrum infrared sauna—one that actually delivers the results you expect. Before you buy, make sure you’re not falling into one of these traps.
Mistake #1: Thinking All Infrared Saunas Are the Same
A sauna is just a wooden box that heats up, right? Wrong.
Many low-end saunas cut corners on heating technology, materials, and EMF protection—which means you’re sitting in a sauna that’s either ineffective or straight-up harmful.
A true full spectrum infrared sauna delivers heat evenly, penetrates deeper into your body, and is built with non-toxic materials.
Before you buy, check the infrared technology—and make sure it’s actually full spectrum, like the Biohackn Infrared Sauna.
Mistake #2: Ignoring EMF & ELF Levels
Would you sit in a microwave oven for 30 minutes?
Probably not. But that’s exactly what you’re doing when you sit in a cheap sauna with high EMFs (electromagnetic fields).
Many sauna companies don’t disclose EMF levels—or worse, claim they are low when they’re not. The reality is, long-term EMF exposure can disrupt your sleep, hormones, and overall health.
The Biohackn Infrared Sauna is designed with ultra-low EMF technology, ensuring that you get the benefits of infrared without radiation exposure.
Mistake #3: Buying a Sauna with Weak Heating Panels
A sauna should heat your body, not just the air around you.
Low-quality saunas use cheap ceramic heaters that don’t penetrate deep enough, leading to surface-level sweating without real detoxification.
High-quality saunas use carbon fiber heating panels, which deliver deep, even infrared heat across your body.
The Biohackn Infrared Sauna is engineered with high-performance carbon fiber panels for full infrared penetrationand a true deep sweat.
Mistake #4: Choosing the Wrong Wood
Most people don’t think twice about the wood used in their sauna, but this is one of the biggest mistakes you can make.
Cheaper saunas use plywood, particleboard, or chemically treated wood, which means when you heat it up, it releases toxic fumes into the air.
That’s the opposite of what you want in a wellness product.
At Biohackn, we use premium non-toxic wood that is free from harmful chemicals and designed for longevity.
Mistake #5: Getting a Sauna That’s Too Small
If you’re investing in a home infrared sauna, don’t make the mistake of getting one that’s too cramped.
A single-person sauna may look good on paper, but in reality, you’ll feel like you’re sitting in a coffin—which means you won’t want to use it often.
A two-person or three-person sauna gives you more room to stretch out, move comfortably, and even share sessions with a partner.
The Biohackn Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna is designed with optimal space and comfort in mind.
Mistake #6: Not Checking Warranty & Support
A sauna is an investment, and like any investment, you want to make sure it’s protected.
Many brands offer limited warranties or make it difficult to get support when you need it.
At Biohackn, we stand behind our products. The Biohackn Infrared Sauna comes with full support and warranty coverage, so you know you’re making a risk-free investment.
Mistake #7: Buying a Sauna That’s Hard to Assemble
Some saunas take hours to put together and require special wiring or professional installation.
A good infrared sauna should be plug-and-play—simple to assemble and easy to install.
The Biohackn Infrared Sauna is designed for fast assembly, so you can start sweating within minutes of setup.
Mistake #8: Overpaying for Features You Don’t Need
A lot of sauna companies try to upsell unnecessary features—fancy screens, Bluetooth speakers, or mood lighting—none of which actually impact the health benefits of infrared therapy.
Instead of paying for gimmicks, invest in what actually matters:
-
Full-spectrum infrared heating
-
Low-EMF technology
-
High-quality materials
-
Efficient heat distribution
The Biohackn Infrared Sauna is built with only the features that enhance your health—nothing more, nothing less.
Mistake #9: Not Researching the Brand
There are a lot of sauna brands out there, and not all of them are reputable.
Before you buy, ask yourself:
-
Is this company known for quality, or just marketing hype?
-
Are there real customer reviews and case studies?
-
Do they specialize in wellness technology, or are they just selling whatever’s trending?
At Biohackn, we’re not just another sauna company. We specialize in cutting-edge biohacking and longevity products—designed for people who take their health seriously.
Mistake #10: Thinking You’ll “Find a Better Deal Later”
A lot of people make the mistake of waiting—thinking they’ll find a better deal or get a discount in the future.
The problem?
Every month you go without a sauna, you’re missing out on all the benefits—better detox, improved recovery, deeper sleep, and enhanced performance.
And when you do finally buy, you’ll wish you had done it sooner.
If you’re serious about your health, don’t wait. The Biohackn Infrared Sauna is engineered for maximum results—and it’s available now.
Final Thought: Make the Right Choice
Buying an infrared sauna is an investment in your health, recovery, and longevity. But to get the benefits, you need to choose the right one.
Avoid the mistakes above, do your research, and invest in a sauna that actually works.
