Dimensions & space

Plan your space and power

The two things to confirm before you order: a level indoor spot with room for an 87 in tall cabin, and a dedicated 240 V circuit.

ItemMeasurement
Floor space (W × D)87 × 75 in
Height87 in. Allow extra ceiling height to fit the roof and roof cover during assembly.

Weight920 lb assembled
PowerOne dedicated 240 V, 30 A circuit and receptacle, installed by a licensed electrician
  • Choose a dry, level indoor spot, away from any source of water, that can support the sauna and its occupants
  • Keep the dedicated outlet easy to reach. Don't use extension cords.
  • Basements, home gyms and studios work well. Indoor use only: outdoor placement voids the warranty.
  • Infrared sessions work best in rooms above 68°F. Golden Designs doesn't recommend use below 60°F.

Installation

How assembly works

The panels clasp together, and the only tools needed are a Phillips screwdriver and a ladder. Golden Designs calls for two adults. The owner's manual walks through every step with diagrams.

Before delivery

  • Have a licensed electrician install a dedicated 240 V, 30 A circuit and receptacle
  • Clear a path from the door to the room. The sauna arrives in 9 boxes, 1,130 lb in total.
  • Inspect the heaters for shipping damage before you start

Build the cabin

  • Lock the two floor panel pieces together
  • Then the right side, rear and left side walls, which slide down onto guide brackets
  • Add the front wall panels with the glass door

Finish & power on

  • Connect the floor heater cord, then place the benches, or leave them out for yoga
  • Set the roof panel and roof cover, then connect each heater, light and sensor cord
  • Plug in, then run a first heat cycle

Using & care

Simple to use, easy to keep

Your session

  • Preheat for about 25–30 minutes to reach 115–120°F
  • Most people use 118–122°F, for about 20–30 minutes
  • Sit on one folded towel and use a second to wipe away sweat

Hot yoga

  • Lift out the benches for an open floor
  • If you use a yoga mat, leave the floor heater cord unplugged
  • Drink water before, during and after

Care

  • Wipe benches and walls with plain water and a soft, damp cloth
  • Never use chemical cleaners on the wood
  • Unplug before cleaning, and keep the floor heaters free of debris

Leave the sauna right away if you feel dizzy, sleepy or uncomfortable. If you're pregnant, have a heart or blood pressure condition, take medication or have any medical condition, check with your clinician before use. Avoid alcohol before or during sessions, and supervise children closely.

Research

What regular sauna use may support

Training & recovery

A 20-minute infrared session after workouts helped athletes feel less sore and recover their performance faster. Read the study

Joint comfort

Infrared warmth eased joint stiffness and discomfort during sessions, and participants tolerated it well. Read the study

Healthy blood pressure

Adding a short sauna after exercise lowered blood pressure more than exercise alone. Read the study

Heart health over time

In a long-term Finnish study, people who used a sauna 4 to 7 times a week had lower rates of heart-related death than those who went once a week. Read the study

Tension relief

Regular sauna sessions reduced the intensity of tension-type headaches in adults who had them often. Read the study

The bigger picture

A review of sauna research summarizes what is known about regular sauna bathing and health. Read the review

Most long-term heart research studied traditional Finnish saunas as part of a healthy lifestyle. These findings show links, not guarantees, and a sauna complements care from your healthcare team rather than replacing it.

Delivery, returns & warranty

Clear terms, before you buy

The sauna is for indoor use only, and outdoor placement voids the warranty. Register within 60 days of purchase. Chat with us now with any coverage questions.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Do I need an electrician?

Yes. The Catalonia needs one dedicated 240 V, 30 A circuit and receptacle, installed by a licensed electrician.

How hot does it get, and how long does it take?

Most people enjoy it at 118–122°F. It reaches 115–120°F in about 25–30 minutes from a room above 70°F, and can heat up to 140°F. Infrared warms you directly, so it feels comfortable at a lower air temperature than a traditional sauna.

Can I use it for hot yoga?

Yes. The eight benches are portable, so you can lift them out for an open 82 × 70 in floor. If you use a yoga mat, leave the floor heater cord unplugged.

Is it wheelchair accessible?

Golden Designs designed the Catalonia to be wheelchair accessible. Chat with us now and we'll help you plan the entry for your space.

Can I assemble it myself?

Yes. The panels clasp together with a Phillips screwdriver and a ladder, and Golden Designs calls for two adults. The owner's manual and assembly video above walk through each step.

Can it go outdoors or in a garage?

It's for indoor use only, and outdoor placement voids the warranty. Choose a dry, level spot away from water, in a room that stays above 60°F.

Can I use it in a studio or gym?

Golden Designs rates it for residential and semi-commercial use. Commercial use carries a 1-year warranty on the heaters and electronics.

What does Near Zero EMF mean?

Golden Designs rates its PureTech™ heaters under 3 milligauss (mG) at about 2 inches from the heater, lower than its standard low-EMF panels at 5–10 mG.

Will it fit through my doorways?

It arrives as flat panels and is built in place. Chat with us now with your doorway and stair measurements, and we'll help you check the largest panel sizes before you order.

What if something arrives damaged?

Photograph the packaging and the product, then contact us within 48 hours of delivery. Chat with us now or email info@heavenlifewellness.com.

Solid Performance and Great Value

After researching saunas for months, this one delivered on all fronts. The build quality is impressive and the heat distribution is excellent. Takes about 15 minutes to reach temperature which is reasonable. The digital display is easy to read and operate.

Absolutely Worth Every Penny

This sauna exceeded all my expectations. The craftsmanship is outstanding and the low EMF technology gives me peace of mind. Setup took about 4 hours with my husband but the instructions were clear. We use it almost daily now and the heat distribution is perfectly even. The wood quality is beautiful and feels luxurious. Best investment we've made for our home wellness routine.
