Next-Level Sauna Benefits You Can Feel
Every session supports recovery, reduces stress, and promotes overall wellbeing so you feel the benefits with each Sweat Kingdom session.
SK Sauna & Huum heater = 5 stars! Installation instructions = 0 stars! I seriously considered returning the product while trying to understand the “instructions” included (and yes I watched the videos as well). Important notes like “this hole goes on this side” or “this side faces out” weren’t mentioned.
As far as the end result, I couldn’t be happier! Looks amazing, Huum 6 KW heats up so fast and is consistent, red cedar smells amazing, and WiFi controls work effortlessly every time! I couldn’t get the bottom bench to fit as shown as my electrician installed the heater 3” farther away from the wall than I’d marked. I ended up not installing the bench at all as I never used it. Overall very happy but please spend some money on proper instructions!
Really happy with the two‑person sweat pod sauna. Putting the main sauna together was super easy, and it works great. Their team answered every question I had, no hassle. I’d definitely recommend it. Only downside: the instructions for the extra roofing material aren’t very clear — they should make a simple how‑to-video like they did for the main build.
Absolutely loving the sauna. Limitations on space and orientation required The SK dream team to modify a large Pod. We could not be happier with our "Medium Pod". Getting hot and sweaty should not be this much fun! Heats up fast, smells great, and just looks amazing in our small courtyard. The roof was custom fabricated locally. Special thanks to Dylan who politely answered every one of my questions... there were many
Loving our large sweat pod blackout edition so far. There was some confusion on the build process and a few missing instructions but the team at SK got back to me right away with the details I needed. Heats up in about 30 minutes, looks great and fits like a glove in our minimal footprint. It’s all solid thick cedar and with the blackout edition upgrade I think it will last quite a while even in the elements.
Just received and built my Sweat Cabin last week and couldn’t be happier with the result.
The build itself was very manageable. You’ll definitely want two people to lift the wall panels into place, and a steady hand or guide helps with the final roof cut, but overall I completed about 75% of the installation myself without issue. I went with the extended 7’ roof, which I’d highly recommend, it makes a noticeable difference in comfort and overall feel of the space. The quality of the materials and fitment really stood out, and everything came together cleanly.
I paired it with the HUUM Drop 9kW Sauna Heater, and the performance has been excellent. It heats efficiently and delivers a true traditional sauna experience.
After doing a lot of research, I can confidently say this unit lives up to expectations in both size and usability. It can fit up to 6 adults if needed, 4 to 5 comfortably seated, and 2 people can lay down without feeling cramped.
The Sweat Kingdom team was also great to work with. They’re a smaller operation with high demand, but they were responsive to calls and emails throughout the process. My unit was originally expected to ship in about 7 weeks and ended up taking closer to 9, but they kept me informed of any status updates throughout the process.
Overall, a great experience from purchase through installation. I’d highly recommend this sauna to anyone looking for a high-quality, well-built unit for their home setup.
We purchased the 2-4 person sweat pod in the blackout addition and got it set up the week after Christmas! I was 7.5 months pregnant when we purchased this and got to start using it 1.5 weeks after I had our baby. This daily wellness experience in our backyard is something I look forward to everyday. We chose the HUUM heater with Wi-Fi and it couldn’t be more user friendly. Set up took my husband and brother 3-4 hours and electrician cost was ~$600. The staff at SK was very helpful from start to finish.
We have had our sauna for a few weeks now and are sold! The quality is amazing and it is quick to get to desired temperatures. I also appreciate buying a product made in the US, as local as possible to our home, for a great value. That being said, we did have a few bumps in the road in our ordering process as our sauna arrived several weeks beyond the estimated arrival date, without update of delays unless requested myself. Our second issue came with assembly as our assembly instructions were not included, as intended. Despite these few hiccups, customer service was very responsive and quick to resolve this issue—even talking us through the steps while awaiting the instruction manual delivery and encouraging me to call if any more questions arose. Overall, I am very happy with sweat kingdom and would recommend to anyone looking to purchase a home sauna!
Good sauna
We went with the sweat pod with an extended height (7') and the Harvia 8kw. Very happy with the quality of this sauna and we've been using it almost daily. After a lot of research, I'm happy we went with Sweat Kingdom.
My only negative would be around the assembly instructions. I fortunately have a lot of tools and experience, so I found the process enjoyable, but the everyday Joe that isn't that handy may find the instructions and video lacking. If they invested in a more comprehensive video with tips and tricks, I think it would benefit the masses. Overall, very happy with the purchase and it has exceeded expectations.
Worth every dollar. Easy assembly. It’s not like other sauna kits. This had many pre-assembled parts and pre-drilled holes. Very, very simple. The sauna heater (Huum) wiring was a little tricky, but maneagable. So far it is amazing. We are in Florida (Oct). It is outside and stays around 85degrees inside. It heats to 170 in about 40 minutes. 190 in an hour. Wood smells amazing. One of the best purchases ever. Great communication from the company. I’m not handy at all and they helped with very quick email replies. Can’t recommend them enough!
I purchased the 4 person Sweat Pod with roofkit and HUUM Drop 9kw heater. I’ve been using it for a few weeks and have been really impressed overall. The WiFi connection works great and the sauna heats up really fast. It stays hot too! The 4 person has enough room for my wife and I to sit sideways across each bench and we could comfortably fit 4 and maybe more if we used as a normal bench. I am not handy at all and with a friend that was a bit more handy, we were able to assemble over a few hours. I wouldn’t recommend doing it by yourself due to the size and having to constantly go back and forth to each side during assembly. The service from Sweat Kingdom has been excellent from the start. They fielded my never ending questions, assisted with instructions, and sent a missing part out for us right away. I’m extremely happy with my purchase and the choice to go with SK.
Customer Service is at the forefront @ sweatkingdom They make sure their customers are left satisfied, they are committed to excellence. Their product stands for itself. Very pleased with my purchase.
Communication was great and shipped as planned. Directions were easy to follow and it went together great!
Excellent quality, and customer service. Everything about this experience has been world class
Great investment. 100% recommend it.
Really love our Sweat Pod (2-4 person). Took about 6 weeks for delivery. We installed it ourselves in our home and then had an electrician come around for the electrical work. Pretty straight forward instructions although did spend multiple times replaying the YouTube installation video. My wife and I are both tall and can fit together comfortably in the sauna. Maybe we could fit one more but it would be tight. Looking forward to using it during the cold winters of Vermont.
Love it so far the temperature gauge that came with it is junk
We’ve been looking for the right size/quality sauna for a few years and as soon as we came across the Sweat Pod, we knew we found our fit. From the start of the buying process, the Sweat Kingdom team was incredibly responsive and thoughtful as we scoped our future outdoor sauna set up with the Sweat Pod.
I’d recommend this team and their saunas to anyone who takes quality and brand promise seriously (two things that are lacking in the sauna market with all of the reselling and false promise products out there).
Amazing sauna and couldn't be happier with our purchase.
Quality materials and rhe finished product looks amazing. Thick lumber and it came packaged very well. The instructions were a bit puzzling to understand but Sweat Kingdom customer service was prompt on filling me in on the construction. Overall, very happy with the purchase.
