The Problem

Classic on the outside. Considered in every detail.

The best part of a custom sauna is how naturally it fits your life. Sierra brings together solid cedar, a room-specific heater layout, and comfortable bench proportions. From your first rendering to the finished interior, every choice has a place in the design.

What It Does for Your Body

Health Benefits of the Sierra™ Infrared Sauna

Cardiovascular Health

Passive heat raises your heart rate as you sit back and unwind. Make comfortable warmth part of a regular wellness routine.

Deep Sweat

Settle into even VantaWave® far-infrared warmth and enjoy a satisfying sweat, in the comfort of your own cedar room.

Post-Workout Recovery

Give yourself a place to slow down after activity. Gentle, even warmth supports your recovery routine and helps you unwind.

An Evening Wind-Down

Trade the last scroll of the day for quiet cedar warmth. Create a relaxing transition from a busy evening to bedtime.

Stress Relief

Close the door on a busy day. A quiet space, natural cedar, and enveloping warmth make it easier to pause and decompress.

Red Light, Built In

Bring red light into the routine you already enjoy. Bench-integrated LEDs sit close to your skin, with no separate panel to set up.

Sauna use supports general wellness; experiences vary. Ask your clinician about heat use if you have a medical condition or are pregnant.

Heat and light, designed together

Integrated Red Light Therapy — Built Into the Bench.

Settle into your Sierra™ and make red light part of the same ritual as your sauna session. The LEDs are built between the cedar bench slats, close to your skin, so there's no separate panel to position or store.

The system pairs nominal 660 nm red and 850 nm near-infrared light with independent controls. Enjoy far-infrared heat, red light, or both — built into one custom sauna. Your layout and posture determine the distance to each body area.

What Sierra™ Owners Are Saying

The craftsmanship is unbelievable.

We went with the Sierra for our home gym. The classic cedar and glass design is stunning — everyone who visits asks about it. Heat is even, the controls are intuitive, and SaunaCloud walked us through every step.

Exactly what our wellness centre needed.

We installed two Sierra saunas for our spa. The window-pane design gives our guests a beautiful, open feel. Build quality is exceptional and SaunaCloud's support was genuinely impressive from start to finish.

Best sauna I've ever used.

I've used saunas at high-end hotels and gyms for years. The Sierra is on another level — the VantaWave heaters produce a deeper, more even heat. The integrated red light bench is a game changer for recovery.

Common Questions

Sierra™ Infrared Sauna FAQ

What's the difference between the Atlas™ and Sierra™?

Atlas is the modern style with vertical cedar slats and VantaWave panels behind them; Sierra is the classic exposed-panel and window-pane cedar arrangement. Both are fully custom projects with VantaWave® heaters, our in-house CORE 5 power systems, and app control — footprint and bench capacity follow your space and layout, not the model name. Your approved project drawing controls what gets built.

What size Sierra™ can I build?

The Sierra™ is fully custom — there is no fixed size. The classic window-pane design scales from intimate rooms to larger multi-person layouts, with capacity set by usable bench length and sitting versus reclining use. The Sierra planning default is 84 inches finished interior; your approved project drawing controls the delivered height. Just tell us your dimensions and we'll take it from there.

What electrical requirements does the Sierra™ need?

Electrical is project-specified — there is no universal breaker size for the Sierra name. Your proposal and electrical plans define the dedicated circuit(s) your electrician runs before delivery. You will need a licensed electrician for the final connection.

How long does delivery take?

Most Sierra builds ship within 7–11 weeks of final design approval. Lead time varies slightly by size and customization. Shipping is a flat $999 per order, added automatically. Wood ships curbside via freight; remaining components arrive by courier to your door — you'll receive tracking information, and the carrier will call two days before delivery to schedule your drop-off window.

What kind of wood do you use?

Clear-grade Western Red Canadian Cedar, kiln-dried. No veneers or plywood — solid cedar that naturally resists bacteria, mold, and warping. Every board is hand-selected for color and grain consistency.

Do you offer installation?

We don't provide direct installation services, but every Sierra ships with detailed assembly instructions and full electrical drawings. Most customers use a general contractor or competent DIYer. For questions, use Owly in the customer portal first; unresolved issues go to service@saunacloud.com. Phone messages receive an email response.

Why do you make your own power supplies, hardware, and software?

Most sauna companies buy generic power supplies and control boards from overseas — and that's where most failures start. At SaunaCloud, we design and manufacture our own CORE 5 power supplies, PCBs, and Wi-Fi-enabled control systems. Vertical integration gives us direct control over reliability, consistency, and precision.

Do your saunas emit EMFs?

All powered equipment produces electric and magnetic fields. The VantaWave® system is engineered for low magnetic-field output through its wiring, grounding, shielding, and CORE 5 power delivery. Average output is about 0.20mG in the measured system scope — test scopes, meters, and distances vary, so we don't present one number as every build's result.

What's included in the warranty?

The Limited Lifetime Warranty defines residential product lifetime as 7 years from final delivery: heaters are covered for 7 years, power, controls, and junction boxes for 3 years, and lights, speakers, and covered accessories for 1 year. The complimentary red light system is included at no additional charge and is not covered. Wood, labor, diagnosis, electrician costs, and replacement-part freight are also not covered. Commercial installations have 1-year covered-parts coverage.

What is VantaWave® infrared heating?

VantaWave® is our proprietary carbon-crystal blend heater panel that covers the full wall of the sauna — not just a small section like most manufacturers. This produces more even far infrared heat at heater-surface temperatures up to 190°F under test conditions; room air varies by project. Average EMF output is about 0.20mG in the measured system scope — test scopes, meters, and distances vary, so we don't present one number as every build's result.

Can I remotely monitor my sauna?

Yes. Our proprietary iOS/Android app and Wi-Fi-enabled controller allow complete remote monitoring and control via your phone or desktop. Start a session, set temperature, and check status from anywhere.
