FAR Infrared Saunas

About

FAR Infrared Saunas — The Most Popular Infrared Sauna Type FAR infrared saunas are the most common and affordable type of infrared sauna . They use carbon fiber or ceramic heating panels that emit wavelengths in the 5.6–15 micron range — the longest infrared wavelengths, which penetrate about 1.5 inches into your body to raise core temperature and produce a deep, detoxifying sweat at a comfortable 120–150°F. Most models plug into a standard 120V outlet, heat up in 15–20 minutes, and require no special ventilation. We carry FAR infrared saunas from Dynamic Saunas , Maxxus , and Golden Designs in low, ultra low, and near-zero EMF configurations. Every order ships free with 0% APR financing.

How FAR Infrared Works Unlike a traditional sauna that heats the air around you, FAR infrared panels emit light energy that your body absorbs directly. This warms you from the inside out without needing to superheat the air, which is why infrared saunas operate at much lower ambient temperatures (120–150°F vs. 150–195°F for traditional) while still producing a heavy sweat. The FAR wavelength band (5.6–15 microns) is the most efficient at raising core body temperature because it matches the wavelengths your body naturally absorbs best. FAR infrared is the workhorse wavelength for deep sweating, improved circulation, and cardiovascular response — the benefits most people associate with infrared sauna use. It's also the most studied wavelength range in infrared sauna research. FAR Infrared vs. Full Spectrum FAR infrared saunas emit only the longest infrared wavelengths (5.6–15 microns). They're more affordable and deliver excellent core heating and sweat response. If deep sweating and relaxation are your primary goals, FAR infrared gets the job done at a lower price point. Full spectrum saunas add near infrared (0.7–1.4 microns) and mid infrared (1.4–5.6 microns) wavel
