The gold standard for shared recovery
Our editors test hundreds of wellness products every year, but the SaunaBox Solara 2-Person is the one we actually kept — and the one we'd recommend to anyone serious about long-term health. It's not just a sauna. It's a full-spectrum infrared therapy system built for two.
It reaches 150 degrees of deep-penetrating full-spectrum infrared heat, supports circulation, reduces inflammation, and aids in cellular repair. If you're investing in your health as a couple or family, this is the gold standard.
Replacing clinical heat therapy — for two
We wanted to know if a home infrared sauna could actually replace clinical heat therapy sessions for a couple. The answer is an unequivocal yes. Our team tested the Solara 2-Person specifically for joint stiffness, cardiovascular health, and post-workout recovery — together.
The full-spectrum infrared heat penetrates directly into muscle tissue and joint capsules, completely bypassing the need for harsh, suffocating hot air. And it's built from sustainably sourced Canadian Hemlock — naturally low in resin and resistant to warping.
"The full-spectrum infrared penetrates so differently than a traditional sauna. My blood pressure dropped, my sleep improved, and my partner and I actually look forward to it every single morning."
Senior Wellness Editor, May 2026Built for your home, not a gym
The biggest excuse people make for not owning a home sauna is space. The Solara 2-Person is designed to fit in a spare room, bedroom corner, or dedicated wellness space without requiring contractors or special wiring. It plugs into a standard 240V outlet and delivers a full clinical-grade infrared session.
Setup takes under an hour. No tools, no contractors, no permits. Just assemble, plug in, and start your first session.

Why safety certifications matter more than you think
Most home saunas on the market are built with cheap wood that off-gasses toxins when heated. Their heating panels emit dangerously high EMF levels. Their claims of "low-EMF" are unverified marketing copy.
Sitting in a sauna that adds more toxins to your body isn't recovery. That's exactly why the Solara 2-Person was built differently — and why every certification was independently earned, not just claimed.
Why the Solara 2-Person is the better option
Not all home saunas are created equal. The materials, certifications, and heat technology inside your sauna matter just as much as the temperature it reaches.

Everything you need to know
No special wiring beyond a standard 240V outlet. No contractor. No permits. The Solara 2-Person assembles in under an hour and is ready for your first session the same day it arrives.
"I've had the original Solara 1-person for 14 months. I use it every morning at 6am before work. My resting heart rate dropped from 72 to 58, my doctor noticed it at my last physical. When SaunaBox announced the 2-person I literally called my wife into the room to show her. Pre-ordered within 10 minutes. We've been waiting for this."
"I'm a personal trainer and I bought the original Solara 1-person 9 months ago. My recovery time after heavy leg days went from 3 days to 1. I've been recommending it to every client. The 2-person just launched and I already have it on order — my husband and I have been fighting over the 1-person since day one. This is long overdue."
"11 months with the original Solara. Zero chemical smell from day one — I was paranoid about off-gassing after reading about other brands, but the Canadian Hemlock is completely clean. My chronic lower back pain has improved more than anything else I've tried. The 2-person launched and I immediately put a deposit down. Only 100 units in this first run. Don't sleep on it."
"I'm a physician and I bought the original Solara 1-person last year using HSA through Truemed. Saved $1,100. The infrared heat is genuinely therapeutic — I've seen the research on cardiovascular and inflammatory benefits and this unit delivers. The 2-person just launched and I've already submitted the HSA paperwork again. My wife and I are done sharing the 1-person."
